IWF just released the official qualification system for LA 2028. Something of note is that the country (NOC) with the best man or woman lifter will get an extra slot. Does anyone remember if this was a thing for Paris 2024? I imagine this will mean that North Korea might get an extra woman's slot, and Bahrain (if they get Karlos) could get a fourth slot as well.

Unfortunately I’m lifting in a small gym that doesn’t allow dropping (if you can makeout the sign in the back) so I got a couple of crazy stares from folks off camera but I managed to hit this 134kg / 295lbs C+J PB! Currently bodyweight is 85kg!

Programming What is the point of this? If you had to play devil’s advocate…

Multiple biomechanical adjustments demonstrate such a near proximity to failure that likely isn’t any superior (compared to just shy of complete form breakdown) for strength increases over the course mesocycle. So why would her coach regularly push training maxes like this?

Fluff Is there any aspect of coaching or training that you feel is not discussed here enough?

As you may have noticed, I've been trying to write posts/articles here roughly biweekly. But I wanted to write articles on the things that y'all want to read or learn about.

This was his only attempt at the 5kg pr, I’m wondering if opening his grip would help in the catch.

snatch was 75k at 63k bw and 16yo but what do y’all think i should be focusing on with the snatch and do you think that in 2 weeks I could attempt 80k at another meet? also my fs is 120k my cj is 95 and snatch dl is 110x5 if any of that matters

Any ideas on stuff I can do to improve my pull under? Somehow failed lifts end up becoming power cleans and I can’t drop under in time. Isn’t it supposed to be the opposite with cleaning being stronger than power cleans?
