If you wish it, there is nothing to stop you preparing body and mind for the O.L.'s, right now.
Stretch out shoulders & hip flexors & spine.
Practicing the 2 lifts with a broom handle, using the countless u-tubes & vids as guides & models.
You need thousands of those, done a few at a time, to build the movement pattern & flexibility.
When you are good you can graduate to an empty bar, but never be in a hurry to go up in weight.
That's true--thanks for the motivation! And there are some training seminars I've been tempted to attend. i think one was led by a woman who used to post in these forums. I'm blanking on her name at the moment but she was quite an accomplished olympic lifter.
