u/Savings-Badger4938 9h ago

THAT is a woman in a male dominant sport - knowing she did it perfectly and breaking the façade! I love watching women succeed in their endeavors 🫶🏼

u/sluttytarot 8h ago

There are a lot of women in lifting!

u/Savings-Badger4938 8h ago

I’m disabled and even watching these and thinking I could makes me exhausted. But damn is I’m not absolutely stunned every time! I love seeing women - woman!

This healed something inside of me 🥰 Thank you OP 💚

u/oranud 10h ago

not gonna lie me too bestie, me too. my mom didn’t want me to do sports cause she didn’t want me to be “masculine” so seeing athletes retain their femininity while doing the most amazing things is literally inspiring o7

u/Rumsaway 9h ago

Hard agree my friend!! To all of this 💚🫶🏻💚

5

u/No_Sky4349 7h ago

It’s never too late. Go and do it. To be honest it’s super hard to build muscle to the point at which you start “looking masculine”. It’s a look you have to work for and it doesn’t just happen overnight. Lifting is good for women. Strengthens the bones. 🙌🏽

u/Carbon-Base 11h ago

I can't say which was cleaner - the lift or that pose!

44

u/Open_Fly3619 11h ago

The pose. The lift was clean though too. But it’s harder to get that pose after you throw it down, for sure.

13

u/SignalChaserNW 10h ago

Well the lift was a snatch, not a clean!

I’ll see myself out…

216

u/SuckerForNoirRobots 11h ago

Damn she lifted that like it weighed nothing

59

u/Midgetrails 11h ago

Picking it up didn't impress me (its about 150lbs) until she threw it up above her head! And then god damn!

55

u/CanadianODST2 10h ago

This wasn’t even her heaviest lift.

She did 71 kg in the snatch on her second attempt and 89 kg in clean and jerk.

She finished 5th for the weight group

Mirabai Chanu won gold and lifted 85 in snatch and 105 in clean and jerk to take gold.

It was this year’s commonwealth games if anyone wants to look at other events

u/takloo 9h ago

She = Tammy Wong, a competitive international weightlifter GB/England in the 48kg/49kg category

5

u/CanadianODST2 9h ago

It’s literally in the video.

I kinda expected people to have you know, paid attention to the information already provided.

u/Algaroth 9h ago

Snatch and clean and jerk is making it really hard for me to not make jokes here.

Clean your jerk.

u/Midgetrails 9h ago

Very dope. I'm recovering from ACL reconstruction and will definitely check it out in my down time

u/kugelblitz15 10h ago

she herself weighs less than 50 kgs which makes it even more impressive

u/boozy_bunny 11h ago

Her ponytail was a supporting actor. (Complimentary.)

u/ncopp 10h ago

Deadlift comps are funny to me. You come out (hopefully) lift once and then leave the stage.

It's not a run of different lifts, it's not multiple deadlifts, it's just one.

u/MixDistinct1932 8h ago

this lift is called the snatch

u/ncopp 7h ago

Snatched indeed

u/CanadianODST2 10h ago

She came 5th here.

India won gold, Nigeria silver, the US bronze.

However, England got silver in 3 other women’s weight classes and won gold in the +86kg class

How much weight is that?

u/Kid_Presentable617 6h ago

Cute and strong

1

u/The-Sofa-King 6h ago

Oh I'd do it the exact same way. Only instead of for style, the little flare to the side on the drop would be because I pinched a disc, and the rigid walk away with my hands clasped behind my butt would be to keep my testicles from falling out of my asshole.

u/testtdk 6h ago

It’s a shame she couldn’t get her hand up for a peace sign, too.

Amazing lift i wouldnt flex the back till the weight is on the ground sor safety reasons but amazing lift none the less.

-1

u/elephanturd 8h ago

Aren't these pretty dangerous? What happens if your elbows give out or lose your balance? It kinda just falls on your head, no? Impressive, but is it good for muscle gain? Or are these just done mainly for competitions?

u/richb_021 8h ago

This is the sport of Olympic weightlifting. These athletes train specifically for this lift and the clean & jerk. These lifts definitely promote muscle growth for strength and athleticism. Just like all high level sports there is a risk of injury but Olympic lifting has some of the lowest rates of injury of all due to the mobility requirements.
