Introduction
Hello all! Thank you for the accept. I’m from Cheltenham, UK and been training Oly for about a year. Still early stages, currently working on getting a good rack position and recently progressed to 50kg.

@Hannah Hensley hi 👋
The Importance of a Good Setup
Your main takeaways here: 1) Shoulders are directly over the bar 2) Bar is above the base of the toes 3) Chest up, tension in the back 4) Keep the bar close as you push off the floor Focus on one step, perfect it, then start stacking cues on top of one another. This is also why we practice the clean pull, to highlight this phase of the lift where we are going from the floor to making hip contact. Happy training

Oh interesting! I’ll try with the first one as I’ve seen people having shoulders over the bar at the start.
What Counts as a WIN?
This section is for meaningful wins in training and life. Wins here don’t have to be big numbers, but they should be significant and relatively infrequent. This space exists to highlight: - PRs (big or small) - Technical breakthroughs - Improved consistency - Better positions or timing - Milestones you’ve been working toward - Wins outside the gym that impact your training What this section is not for: - Daily training clips - Every set or session - Form checks - Posting just to post Quality over quantity matters here. When you post, add a sentence or two of context: - What changed? - What did you focus on? - Why did this win matter to you? This helps others learn from your progress and keeps the section meaningful! Happy Training! -- Ian

I finally worked my power cleans up to my front squat weight! I started focusing on getting my rack position and 2nd pull better. I always thought that the arms aren't doing much in the clean, but now i realise how important it is.
