We are trying to learn olympic lifting from my friend Ward who runs a non-profit weightlifting gym in Frederick. Really, this is Jeremy’s idea and less my idea. Jeremy spends a bunch of time watching videos of people lifting – often he’s like – look at this woman who weighs less than you snatching 100 kg! So, that is a woman, tinier than me throwing more than 200 pounds over her head. Unbelievable. So some videos from our coach from Sunday’s gym session. Sorry the videos are of poor quality, I blame the android to apple (*&@^ texting conversion crap. I have not watched many videos of lifting, so I kind of don’t even know what I’m trying to mimic, but Jeremy’s watched lots. Don’t be fooled by the weights, I didn’t keep track of the weights, but I think we are trying here with less than 45 pounds which is less than a bar without a single weight would be at the olympics. My main goal is to not hurt myself. My second goal, of course, is the Olympics. Sure, it’s very far away, but whatevs.
And, of course, I didn’t forget. The dolphin video from Kauai. Swoon.
