Advice for the First Meet (share yours in the comments):
- have fun
- get yourself a game plan (plan attempts) beforehand, and don’t change it
- try not to let good or bad warm up attempts change your mind
- after you get done snatching, sit down, get off your legs
- don’t worry about weight classes
Donny Shankle’s Back Workout [59:00]:
(BTW, I love how Donny talks about exercises like some people talk about wine. A true connoisseur.)
- Weighted Pull Ups
- heavy Kettlebell Swings (180 pounds attached 5kg to the bottom with cargo straps, great tip Donny!)
- Chest Supported Rows
- Chinese Rows (45 degree dumbbell rows)
- Superset: Death Marches, Posterior Lateral Raises (I think he means rear delt raises)
- last exercise was inaudible

- have special reasons for each exercise
Danny Nemani says
Advice for first meet – after the presentation of athletes, stay on the platform and perform a snatch with the bar and find your focus point. You might feel awkward doing it but it will help calm any nerves you may have. Have fun too

I like the updated design of the comments section now. It’s very sleek and less clunky! Two things about this podcast; I quite enjoyed it until the part where Jon North said Donny beat Klokov. Yes he lifted more weight but the contest was judged by sinclair; in which Klokov won and took home the bacon. I’m astounded that Glenn or Shankle didn’t correct him – it would be most humble if he did. Two; the thing about fish oil – 1g capsule of fish oil is 9 calories…just something you might want to take into account.

I think Jon wasn’t that serious about Donny beating Klokov. It was meant as a pat on the back for Donny.
