How To Fix Your Squat In 30 Seconds Or Less
No one squats right.
Okay, that’s a blanket statement. But let’s go into Globogym in Anytown, USA. Maybe there will be someone squatting, if you’re lucky. (More than likely: they’re doing curls in the squat rack.)
Even if they are … they’re not squatting correctly.

When you were young, which athletic events did you participate in?
*****
A GOOD TIME TO TAKE
THINGS SERIOUSLY
As you squat over the bar,
your don’t think about the iron disks,
equivalent to your own body weight
on each side…
“Clean” takes less than a second,
You find out, on the way up
if you’ll have control of the mass,
With the bar resting under your chin,
you have a moment to contemplate
how the thing got there…and why,
“and Jerk” is really a misnomer,
it’s more of a ‘sneak’ slipping in
under the weights before they start
a downward motion.
If you get locked in and walk it up,
then hold it for the count of two,
that is the time, like Alexeev,
for a little grin…

I like sports with jerks and sneaks.
A serious, heavy poem with a not-so-serious grin at the end.

Excellent testimony to athletics. Excellent poetry as always. I was a kick boxer.

Edit:
USAF Weight lifting team. Put 404 lbs, over my head in competition, and hit the floor faster than the bar. Broke my back. Almost put me out of the girl chasing competion permenently.

Sorry, I don’t follow any sports that don’t involve my team–and I only have one team–not even the olympics. My neighbor just told me about this, however; so, this is only the second time I’ve heard about it.

I can’t for the life of me understand the appeal of permanent back damage…but if the sneaky jerks want to, who am I to say?

Oh, you Olympic lifters. When is was much younger, I participated in bodybuilding and at my peak I could bench press 415 for 14 reps. Thankfully, I’m not doing that anymore; age and some osteoarthritis have left only metabolic circuit training, kettlebell swings and sandbag snatches on the itinerary, and I have to learn to be satisfied with less. As a consolation, I am told I still play a mean game of tennis. For such small wonders, and also for your poem that caused me to reflect on them, I give thanks.

LOL! We were squatting over the bar…figured we better finish drinking at home..the VO is gone, I have my choice of Jack, Vodka, wine or beer…..hmmm…must ask @rappy neighbor to go get more VO.
I was on girls basketball, softball, ping-pong, and won a silver swimming medal.

Running around like a mad thing, shooting the breeze, jumping to conclusions, Disc-cussing life with friends, eating a(r)cher(r)y off the tree….ah they were the Golden days. Not in the least bit re-vaulting at all.
I wanted to be a top field hockey goalie but alas athletic ops were not forthcoming. Tried table tennis in my pre-dotage (ok 3rd decade) and had a bash at that. I love golf, but it aint an olympic sport.
I coudn’t be a boxer, nor a contender. So I never achieved the Stelllllaaa career that I imagined.

It is interesting to watch. Quite amazing. Let’s see, I was a racquetball player (quite good if I do say so myself), played softball, volleyball, and ran like the wind. Athletic in my younger days, I was.

Well, I like to watch any show of strength…like this snatch, clean and jerk.
But I was just into 100 meters, High and Long Jump. They still remain my favourites at any Olympics…
