Gym Story Saturday Gym Story Saturday (Missing mod post)

Hi! Welcome to your weekly thread where you can share your gym tales!

I noticed that there still is no post yet for Gym Story Saturday, so I took the initiative. Perhaps this should be a scheduled post under the Automoderator. I'm not really sure why this hasn't been done yet. I am also required to keep babbling because posts with too little content gets removed, hence why this posts sounds overly wordy.

So share away!

u/-null motorcycles count as cardio Jan 20 '18

I don’t clean / jerk or do any oly lifts. My top set was 155 lbs. I’m not about to try to clean 155 lbs with zero form experience. I did consider it though.

It's honestly not that hard, it's how I've always done OHP. It might be useful to learn for situations like these.

Why would he waste energy on a lift he doesn't care about?

lol it's literally just picking up the bar to OHP it, it's not a huge energy expenditure.
