Sharing a bit of my weightlifting journey! 🏋️‍♂️

Back in 2016, before leaving Brazil, I began learning about Olympic Weightlifting (OLW) at .reis_weightlifting gym. I had the pleasure of being coached by and , both incredibly knowledgeable and patient with all my questions and learning process.

Their courses were taught by themselves and their brother , one of the best professional weightlifters in Brazilian history. I kept coming back for their coaching courses, and as I advanced, I signed up for two training camps with Fernando and had the pleasure to watch him win his 3 consecutive gold medal at the Pan American games. Then, I enrolled in their highest level of education, which included a training camp in Russia.

In this camp, I had the pleasure of being coached and learning from Fernando again, along with other outstanding coaches like , , , , Anikanov Gennadi (who coached not only the lifters already mentioned but also Klokov himself and his father) and a few others who assisted in our training camp. It was the richest experience of my career, learning all the ins and outs from coaches who competed and coached at the highest level.

I’m very grateful for .reis_weightlifting and everyone who shared their knowledge and passion with me. I vowed to keep coaching and sharing the knowledge I got from them with all my clients so they can not only progress but also understand the “why” behind what we do. This journey has been amazing, and I’m excited to keep pushing my limits! 💪 **ch

Hydration isn't just about drinking water when you're thirst; it's a powerful ally on your weight loss journey. Water is a powerful element that revs up your metabolism, paving the way for more effective calorie burn. When you stay adequately hydrated, your body functions optimally, making it easier to torch those stubborn calories and shed those extra pounds.

But the benefits extend beyond the mechanics of metabolism. Water is your ally in appetite control, helping you feel fuller for longer. Often, our bodies misinterpret thirst for hunger, leading to unnecessary snacking. By keeping yourself hydrated, you reduce the likelihood of mindless munching, setting the stage for more mindful eating habits. It's a simple yet transformative step in your weight loss.

Step 1: Setup right! Stand with feet shoulder-width apart. Grip the bar, hands wider than shoulders, it’s crucial to use hookgrip. Keep your chest up, and back straight. Ready? Lift the bar close to your shins.

Step 2: Stand tall, and pull the bar up close to your body. Keep it slow, feel the tension in your legs. The bar stays super close

Step 3: Keep the barbell close as the it passes your knees. Stay balanced as you speed up and finish your pull by moving your hips up with the barbell.

Step 4: Shrug your shoulders, and pull elbows high towards the ceiling. As the bar moves up you want to strongly extend your elbows and punch under it. Catch it overhead with your elbows locked and arms straight. Boom, you got it!

When used properly, the Sn**ch is a powerful training tool that will help you build strength and technique. Follow these steps to improve your sn**ch!
