Nordic Indoor Championships 60m & 200m | Operation Oregon²² #28 

What would you say the right head space looks like?

Hello from Chicago! In case you don't get a reply, I thought it would be helpful to share my experience as a track cycling sprinter who uses weightlifting for cross training. I love Oly because the benefits gained is just incredible. Ballistic force generation is what weightlifting teaches and obviously it's essential in performance in high output sport. I'm going to be honest with you. Learning Oly even with a coach is incredibly frustrating and can be a long journey because it's so technical. So my advice with Oly is to have a mindset of learning it and understanding the lifts because the power transferring is more like gymnastics so there is definitely a learning curve. Big squats is key. Back posterior chain training is essential and of course this will help you in your specific sport. Good luck! And cheers from Chicago

@@smarti773 thanks mate for sharing your experience. Yes I do accept the fact that learning oly weightlifting is not something that you can learn overnight, that’s why I am focusing more on stuff like squats and single RDL etc to build the base strength while at the same time practicing the basic oly weightlifting drills with just the bar or maybe with light weight.

@@keerthivasramkumar9293 exactly! Any work is good work. I cross train other athletes in high output sports and this is something to remember, anything is absolutely worth it. Little bit definitely goes a long way and some work is better than just not doing. Because really, the earlier you start with cross training, the more smart and efficient you'll be as you progress to higher levels in your sport and you'll see it in how you compare to those who haven't. Keep it going. Never back down. And it's never too late. Cheers 🙆🏻🤓

No the 200m isn't really an international event indoors. Neither the Europeans nor the World indoors have the 200m indoors.
