I want her to kill me
kbkx5
Used to share my office wall with a Crossfit gym, listening to weights drop all day like that is enough to drive anyone insane!
YOUARENOTMYSQUISHYNOW
I was so worried about her toes
erinmirren
Robertf11
Holy fuck, dems some high quality muscles
MortimerDipthong
Thought she was going to step under that one end of the barbell while it was bouncing.
IsThisRelevantYet
I was worried that was going to happen, too. That's how I lost a toe a few months back =(
poozi
Working on her fitness, I'm her witness!

I want to look like her when I grow up

She's practicing to lift my massive... ego.

This is such a fantastic comment that Starla married it.

Yes I'd take one it would be worth it

You think she got where she is because she goes home to Starla at night?

Gaddam she murica'd the shit out of those weights
Fintro
I don't see it. I mean there's not a single bite mark.
Damianoxo
What, are those ten pound plates?
ktrain94
Probably 45 with rest 10s. Still an impressive power snatch weight
Sandman801
Crossfit is a joke lol
CousinEddy
Good thing shes an world record holding Olympic weightlifter and not a crossfit games competitor
DukeOfChutney608
im pretty sure this is mattie rogers, who is an Olympic weightlifter. and also adorable.
Damianoxo
She is a cutie.

So, why is the weight dropping thing...a thing? That doesn't seem like it would be good on your floor or your kit (and put you at risk!)
esgedi
They aren't falling on the floor, they're falling on high density latex foam mats.
BigAZNMan
Don't try it with normal weight plates. These are bumper plates & meant to bounce. Olympic lifting is more about the lift section of a move
KyleBeach
Because in olympic lifts there is no appreciable negative portion of the lift, meaning trying to lower it under your control serves no use
KyleBeach
for strength building. Because of that, and how explosive the movement is to get it overhead, it would make you more prone to injuries to
KyleBeach
lower it under full control. You will see them doing so in sets with multiple sets, but anything that is a solid % of their best will just
KyleBeach
about always get dropped from the top. With bumpers these dont damage a floor actually meant for lifting so it's fine,
Cheomesh
Ah, got you.
askingseven
Damn. That's a beautiful snatch. I'll see myself out. Please don't call security.
askingseven
Also, I think that's about 195 lbs. 45 bar, 2 25s, 10 10s. Incredible strength.
stuffmewithyourpepperidgefams
Unless she's using a 35lb bar. I counted 2 25s 1 15 3 10s 1 5 and 1 2.5. God crossfit has so much damn math in it
ThePickliestRick
Aren't bumper plates wonderful?
Nubasaur
wtf? is that like 450?
haltwenty13
185 if I had to talk a gamble but that's pretty impressive.
johnson21
About 90 kg according to her instagram
ballonknot
(45*2)+(25*8)+bar 45+smaller weights = I'm thinking 350lbs. That is pretty damn impressive.
PhysicsPhren
It's not. Those damn cross fitters and their fake weights are at it again. No way in hell a girl <160 pounds just snatched 350.
CousinEddy
Shes a world record Olympic weigght lifter not a crossfitter and bumperplates are official record setting weights not fake weights
PhysicsPhren
Without knowing the weights, and having a decent understanding of what is possible for a human, I can tell you she isn't snatching >300 lbs
CousinEddy
No she isnt since the World Record for a full snatch in Womens heaviest class is barely over 300lbs.
PhysicsPhren
Those are not Olympic weights, which are color coded. I am not saying that the weights are not real, just that their weight is unknowable
CousinEddy
All bumper plates arent Official Oly plates but Oly plates are bumper plates. If you use bumper plates you know the weight by thickness
CousinEddy
All bumper plates that are single color have plates different thickness while mostcolor coded plates are much more similar in size
CousinEddy
2 45s 8 10s and one 33 lbs womens barbell plus micro plates for 200lbs ish
chopchoptime
Rubber plates. The large inner ones are 45 and the others are 25. It's been awhile but that's how they were for me
ktrain94
If she's the all American champ, it's fair to assume that's at least 205 lbs. (45+10s) could be more though
CousinEddy
45s inside 10s outer and a womens 33lbs bar plus the micro plates ate the end for around 200lbs+
TerryFoldFlaps
Not all are 25. Most likely 5s and 10s.
ThePickliestRick
Those are definitely 25s and 10s tops, otherwise she's clean and pressing over 300lbs.. And she is not big enough for that.
EeveeInASweater
25 inside and the rest are 10s. Its still like 155 and she's not even struggling
ktrain94
Anything over BW snatch is difficult so I'm impressed regardless
gir2195
The outer plates are 15's
chopchoptime
No that has to be wrong. That would put it at 335.
chopchoptime
It's probably two 25s and the rest are 10s
gir2195
45 on the inner two, outer 8 are 15s
gir2195
plus 10 and 5 outside
chopchoptime
Yea 175.
avendarius
Nah, those inner plates are 50s, then 25s then 10s then 5s. It's 375 by my count
Orb99
Idk if I'm crazy but the leggings make the striped leg look bigger
EatenAtYou
Confirmed
roseHyacinth
except for when she turns to walk away then stars are bigger! Its like perspective magic.

brenbrenbren7
It's the angle. The thickest part of the quads and hamstrings are aligned on the star leg, while you see the full display on the striped

Havok707
White enbiggens, dark tightens.
DarthSpyder7
That's what she said
DoctorJungyBrongen
Think it's a combo of having more white and the angle of the shot.
yeaprobably
Maybe the angle of the leg?
daltonthewalk
Gotta love 15 lb CrossFit weights that look like 45s
LatrineUsedToBeShitHouse
So like 150 lbs for my fellow Americans
captaingrump
I was going to say those can't be 45's she'd be dead.
CousinEddy
those would be called bumper plates and were made for the Olympics long before crossfit ruined everything.
doritothefoodslayer
From what I see, inner plates look like 45's other 4 are 15's. That puts her at 260lbs. That's likely double her body weight.
Chandraven
No. Those inner plates are the 25s and the outers are 10s. We have those plates in both our gym and the one down range. They suck ass.
bohicabrown
Probably around ~200#. Inner plate is 35# , thin plates are 10#, + the 5# and 2.5#. The bar looks to be a ladies Oly bar so 15kg or 33 lbs
DudePlayinADudeDisguisedAsAnotherDude
Those don't look like 45 lbs plates. The thickness isn't right.
hardytardigrade
I think the thickness is just right.
spartyon182
They are called bumper plates and have always been used in Olympic lifting... so you can drop the bar.
candar
Oh no, she only snatched ~200, what a wimp.
unefemmeingenieur
Well that's kind of irrelevant seeing as she's one of the best pound-for-pound Olympic lifters in the world...
erbiumyttriumytterbium
OK, guys. Find how much she lifted. Lift the same. Come back and make fun of her. If your spine hasn't jumped out of your body, that is.
sicsided
None of those weights look like 45s. If you are talking bumper plates, 45s are near 4 inches thick.
sicsided
Possibly the inner ones, now that the gif stopped on me for a moment.
CousinEddy
first one on the bar is a 45
FlyingDorito
15 lb x 10 = 150 lb without bar. Less than 1% of us could do what she did.
JustSayingYouHaventSeenMeAndBatmanInTheSameRoomBefore
Her snatch record is over 230lbs. So I'm guessing that weight would be no problem for her.
jonerbam
There's a purpose for them all being the same size. Powerlifting and Olympic lifting has been doing this for decades. Lol @ crossfit weights
TheWaterHorse
Was thinking the exact same thing
GregorSamsa
I was like there is no chance those are 45s. 25s maybe lol
CousinEddy
The bar is likely a 15kg womens bar first plate looks like 20kg and the rest are the same and likely 4.5kg. Plus micro weights on the ends
Havok707
so around 70 kgs? still mighty impressive ! but it just looks like a jaw dropping more because of the size of it !
CousinEddy
91 kg-ish. She holds the american record for her weight class in the lift and won the american open and the university worlds recently
fistermatic5000
That would be 295lbs if that's a 45lb bar
CousinEddy
Its likely not since women use a smaller diameter bar in competition and they wouldnt train with a larger size. Its a 15kg bar
[deleted]
[deleted]
CousinEddy
All barbells have different snap to them so the weight affects them differently but at 95kg its unlikely the bar will bend
PhysicsPhren
Sadly, Olympic bars are made to bend as little as possible, whereas some others are designed to bend a lot. Bending may mean nothing
[deleted]
[deleted]
PhysicsPhren
Well, that's cause they are moving a shitton of weight and jerking it quickly. Any bar would bend here
LearningOnImgur
Olympic bars still bend with weight on them
DingleBerryJane
Had me confused as fuck cuz i just deadlifted 310 and im looking at this chick like im a bitch lol
wedontneednoeducayshun
You're still a b!%*#, Jenkins.

mangokiwi
She's strong af tho. Almost made Olympic team
easybrz
#almost
unefemmeingenieur
The only reason she didn't is bc American lifters in other weight classes had better chance to medal. She has American records in all events
easybrz
Cool
johnson21
You're right af
kragor85
Wait you mean like bumper plates. That all Olympic lifts use? Crossfit didn't make that up.
esgedi
Olympic plates are made by ivanko. They're calibrated high density iron. These are made by Rogue, and completely different.
Obi0juan0kenobi
Execpt all olympic weights are colored, where as every cross fit plate is all black and the same color.
Fairdinkums
Yeah not many people know this. Looks like that could be 200kg but is probably 80 or lower. Especially with how high it bounces
ToroRojo1
Who cares what it looks like? The weight don't lie
CousinEddy
it only looks that way to people who only see iron plates. People who use bumper plates know the width difference
sicsided

LearningOnImgur
Don't get me wrong that's a lot, but I can do that, which doesn't make it nearly as impressive as the weights make it look.
LamarTheHeadhumper
Yeah, but do you have boobs?
sicsided
That's a complex she is doing, not one rep max. See her lifts at US Opens and other competitions.
