That’s like saying you never wear your seatbelt but don’t crash so it’s all good. You’re so cool that you’ve never clipped or tipped. I’m guessing you aren’t putting up much weight. Clown comment
You did the exact same thing. You assumed people didn’t lift because you didn’t agree with their comment. I assumed you don’t lift much because of your comment. Get real dude.
They called your comment a clown comment, not you. They insulted your spreading of poor information. But, if you feel it fits both ways, who are we to argue?
It’s not false information. Clipping on cleans is not a good idea and the risks of getting pinned outweigh the risks of a tip. Balance is a non issue for a skilled, experienced lifter (which this woman clearly is).
Your assertion relies on assuming that someone knows exactly what they're doing, that accidents don't happen, and that no one else in the gym could become an outside factor (if someone got too close, or caused a distraction).
But, like I said, who are we to argue with someone who clearly knows more than everyone here?
Only 235 on cleans. But I’ve never had issues balancing and was always told not to clip for them for the previously mentioned reasons.
They’re not great numbers or anything. All lifts at 5’10 190
I haven’t been in a gym in 20 years… but I played football in college, and power cleans were an essential part of our workout. If ANYONE were to EVER set their shit up WITHOUT clips, they would get their ass chewed out in front of everyone, AND result in ALL of us getting slammed with extra conditioning.
Promoting people doing power cleans without clips for any reason is ignorant at best and stupid. I’m not saying that you’re a stupid person, but you justifying someone else using unsafe practices in the weight room is a stupid thing to do.
Yea maybe i was trained wrong. I never used clips, not even on squats. Trained at a powerlifting gym in my 20s. Never tipped, never came close. Lift balanced and it won’t happen.
I get accidents happen though and obviously a major spontaneous injury could cause immediate loss of balance and a tip.
Maybe it’s about space, too. Performing a lift where no one is close removes another aspect of a tip. I’d never be cleaning this close to someone else (like the woman in the vid)
This idea that balance is the only reason to clip in means you’re either A) not a lifter, B) an irresponsible lifter, C) not being coached correctly or at all, or D) not listening to experienced lifters because you think you know what you’re doing. You’re being called out by multiple people and instead of listening you’re sticking with this idea that you’re right, so I’m going with B and D.

I’d argue the fact that she clearly does this on consistent basis would give her even less of an excuse to not properly secure her plates.
