Going Bulgarian for Collegiates!

How long have you been weightlifting? 197 seems astronomical to me, at least where I am in my progression.

I have been doing the Olympic lifts since September. Before that, I did Starting Strength since May. My weight was 255 at the end of summer. It is currently above 270. (I'm 6'5", so that influences it.

Twas conditioning for sure.

Sorry about Taco Thursday. Your coach has gray hair, and it needed to be remedied.

I tried lifting. It hurt too much. I really think I went too hard yesterday. May have been falling into the bottom of cleans for missed power cleans.

You muscle snatched.

That was something.

So, I guess we learned...

That even though you are 18...

You are not invincible.
