Respect. Itβs a fantastic sportβhonestly, just as much of a workout as hitting the weights at Gold's Gym. The only issue is that it isn't exactly "must-watch" TV, which is probably why it hasn't quite broken into the mainstream yet.π You basically sit there watching a few guys perform snatches or jerks for ten minutes straight.π
Those ten minutes look brutal on video, but in person? Itβs a whole different storyβit flies by. By "flies by," I mean the crowd watching feels like nothing happened, while everyone actually under the bar feels like they're stuck in a loop that'll never end. Honestly, most of us weekend warriors and anyone without elite cardio start hitting that panic button π around the two or three-minute mark.
