You're An Olympic Weightlifter If...

This video makes you cry & want to punch babies

  • When the length of time that it takes to change your shoes, warm-up, tape-up, and chalk-up is the same amount of time that some people finish an entire crappy half-squat workout.

  • When you, not noticing it initially, shift gears in your car with a hook grip.

When you’re one of the few who cleans BEFORE (s)he jerks

Done and done.

I feel bad for the kid though.

An entry in your training log looks like this:

You beat it with a hook grip
You drive with a hook grip

You mean “beat her” with a hook grip? I dont usually use a stick but most hookers are game for anything.

Between sets you practice sweet ninja moves with your bo-staff (read: broomstick).

Can I use a quater inch pipe instead of a broomstick. Coach didn’t provide us with broomsticks D=

Invictica, 1/4 inch pipe is superior to broomstick because they whistle while performing deadly ninja kata of doom (and at times terror)

if while talking to someone about squatting and they tell you they dont even go parallel,“no way dude thats nuts i cant handle parallel”, and you tell them you go atg and they just look at you funny

-You’r more flexible than your female friends who do yoga…

-You dislike curls.

-You chalk up before playing Tekken 4 on your old-ass PS2.

-you spend your entire workout doing 3 or 4 movements
-you get pissed when you GAIN weight, pushing you out of your weight class
-you’d trade 10kg from your bench max to add 5kg onto your squat max

If you compete in olympic lifting meets, then you ARE an olympic weightlifter.

good rendition Kroll (sigh of relief)
*feels a newfound sense of belonging

When nothing in this world angers you more than seeing someone squat with a wide california to new york stance, THEN going below parallel, its like an olympic lifter doing a narrow stance back squat, but going a quarter of the way down

When you tell someone that your an olympic lifter and NEVER train bench press, but at the end of your workout you bench over 100kg for a single anyways just to show em the effectiveness of olympic weightlifting training as opposed to your useless 40min isolated upperbody workout that i just witnessed while resting in between my cleans

when you simply hate “power” lifters or powerlifting

when you simply hate powerlifters and bodybuilders not because of their sport, but because of their inflexibility

when you are at a commercial gym, you admire women who are stretching more than you admire the “powerlifters” and bodybuilders workin next to you

When personal trainers stare at you and observe your range of motions

After your workout, you stretch next to the women and they get jealous of you

Your legs suddenly look better with weightlifting shoes

When you overhead squat over your bodyweight, the guys next to you stare

When you overhead squat far above your bodyweight, not only does everyone stare, they STOP

Nothing is more scary than losing balance on a bodyweight+ snatch at a commercial gym

People wonder how the heck you can push press almost twice your bodyweight and have no biceps, or chest
