So yesterday I attended another Bundesliga weightlifting competition.
It was Chemnitzer AC vs. SSV Samswegen.
Team Chemnitz competed without our favorite Latvians that day. Team Samswegen had Poland’s snatch master Lukasz Grela on board (I’ll post his attempts later).
This was Max Lang’s first bundesliga competition of the year. Below are all 3 snatch attempts. 140 (good lift), 140 again and 145kg.
Update: Here is the full video with all warm up attempts.
He only recently started doing the full lifts again after having done mostly squats and pulls for the last 3 months because of a nagging shoulder injury.
Technique was still on point!
Why 140kg twice I hear you asking?
Answer: Max requested 135kg for his opener but the loaders loaded 140kg and nobody noticed until after Max’s second attempt when he took 140kg again.
In the results sheet you’ll notice that they counted the first 140 as 135 too.
He looks a little depressed after this first “135kg”…
Curious nobody realized the wrong loading.
Dude, that extra 11 lbs would put me on my ass if I weren’t expecting it!
