Weightlifting

I've been weightlifting (the Olympic sport of weightlifting not powerlifting or general strength training with weights) since winter 2022. I've come to really enjoy it after the initial period of developing the mobility and technical skill to carry out the lifts (snatch and clean and jerk) to a OKish level. I'll be documenting my weightlifting journey here and also posting ramblings related to the sport.

31/07/2026: Goals before turning 40 (in just under a year's time)

200kg squat, 110kg snatch, 140kg clean and jerk. My current numbers are way off that but I'm just putting it out there. That's a 15kg deficit on the squat, and a 30kg deficit on the snatch and clean and jerk :'). I think sometimes it's worth being absolutely delusional to create the necessary momentum to achieve outlandish goals.
