The Barbelles Society: Ladies Who Lift

Scroll to see replies

Controversy!

What's going on with the polska? Ive just tuned in :smile:

Loading error - was supposed to lift 86kg for a 2nd attempt, but htey loaded 84, she lifted it, and got credited with it. Went for 86kg for 3rd attempt, failed. Then they were like "Lol ok she get 4th lift", then changed their minds!

When the bar starts going behind their head I change the channel.

Its a lot worse when they drop the bar behind them. I'm surprised that lots of the girls have not had any injury as the way they drop the bar behind them looks very dangerous

btw I imagine one of the reasons for having different groups is to even out the rate lifters have to go out and lift and how much rest they get. If you had one bad lifter in a group of much higher standard, that lifter would probably have to do his/her 3 lifts almost consecutively, before the weight goes up to the starting weight of the other lifters.

it is relatively safe and easier to control,w hen the bar drops back or front. The danger is if you for example have one arm collapse in the snatch, then you can't properly push it away from your body while it's dropping.

Yes I saw it and wished I can squat that deep. Its a good thing the judges didn't see it though or they would have said its a bad lift

the Colombian girl was amazing in the snatch and jerk (2nd attempt 109kg). When she got up after the snatch she looked like she was going to pass out and thought that she wasn't going to be able but she managed some how to do it

world record attempt getting nervous

Edit: Just found out she did it and she did it soo well (and its only her second attempt

Felt sorry for the Turkish girl but she should have tried it again even if she couldn't get it up
