That is all. Oh, then the pt guy came over and told me that they would kick me out if I drop it again. I was using bumper plates on a deadlifting platform.
The guy's a twit. Good on you. Though, if you get booted from the gym, your training will probably slow down a bit. From full lockout, you can try to do a quick-controlled negative, then hop the bar from rack position to your thighs, then lower under control. Keep at it.
thats what i have to do as i have iron weights and a concrete floor. i reckon one or the other would give if i dropped it from full lock
Well, the reason I brought it up was, if I cant drop the damned thing, what is the point of having bumpers and a rubber mat on the floor?
Congratz d00d! You should ask the PT how many times he has done a clean and jerk. Then right when he starts to answer you should fart really loud.
ROTFLMAO!!!! Now that would be the ULTIMATE comback for that muppett! Everytime you walk into the gym ask him to pull your finger. Congrats on the lift mate!
Thanks guys. Actually, the gym is located on the 2nd floor so the guy said the people working in the office will be bothered by the noise. So I asked him where the sign was where it said not to drop the weights. He said it was there but when I searched for one, I could not find such anywhere in that room. I later asked another PT and found out that the girls change room is under the platform and the offices are about 30m away (the first guy told me that the offices were directly under, which was BS). What bothered me the most was that this guy actually told me to go down and apologize to the people working downstairs (Ya, ok ). I wonder how Im going to control the weight down when I get to 300+. Im no pyrros.
Clean and jerk it to a power rack set like 7 feet in the air and leave it there, then walk away like a pimp.
What would be even better is to leave the collars of the bar and "accidently" tip it to one side...big crash as multiple plates fall down and then the bar slings to the other side allowing for more loud multiple crashes. This works great if you load the bar up with 25s and 10s.
100kg clean and jerk PR yesterday. Funny b/c I had a hard time getting my workset with 185lbs. Didnt drop it but bruised my collar bones while lowering . Hopefully I can snatch this by early next year. I think I'll just post PRs here to keep track of progress.
