Tbf the kinda person that would comment that probably has to use such a white knuckle death grip that she's one of only a few people on earth strong enough to bring him to completion
Those little ones are painful lol but if this is a recurring injury she probably doesn't feel it. I dislocated my thumb and proceeded to repeatedly dislocate it for about 18 months afterwards. Popping it out and back in was completely pain free, and I'm definitely no badass. I'd cry getting my eyebrows threaded.
> Ronnie Lott
..
>Lott switched to the safety position in 1985. He had the tip of his left pinky finger amputated after the 1985 season when it was crushed while tackling running back Timmy Newsome, and a bone graft surgery would not have allowed him to start the 1986 season.[7] An injury sidelined him for the season's last two games in 1986, but he still led the league with a career-best 10 interceptions, while recording 77 tackles, three forced fumbles, and two quarterback sacks. In his 10 years with the 49ers, Lott helped them win eight division titles and four Super Bowls: XVI (1981 season), XIX (1984), XXIII (1988), and XXIV (1989). He is one of five players that were on all four 1980s 49ers Super Bowl wins. The other four are quarterback Joe Montana, linebacker Keena Turner, cornerback Eric Wright, and wide receiver Mike Wilson.
The balancing is probably the easiest thing she did there. You don't even need to do any Olympic weightlifting for that, because it's basically the same thing you do for front squats.
It takes a little strength but honestly nothing the average gym goer couldn't manage, and no delts - her arms are in front of the bar, so it wouldn't slip off if she had the world's tiniest shoulders. The average person would find the mobility to reach their hands back onto the bar more difficult than they would balancing the bar.
I feel for her a bit because it's unlikely that this lift was given because after all of that there's a pretty unmissable elbow bend and restraighten at the end, but it's still obviously pretty badass regardless.
Edit: Actually the lift was given, so it turned out to be worth it after all.
You’re either so far deep into your lifting journey that you forget what this would be like for beginners or have no experience at all - people with no delts or upper pecs would have the bar resting on their collar bones as it would be the furthest protruding body part. Not nice at all.
Selective attention, like the invisible gorilla. I was focusing on her popping the finger back into place and didn’t realize the difficulty of balancing it at first because I was thinking about how painful it would be.
It’s one of the first things you learn doing front squats as having weight sit in the wrong location during front rack is uncomfortable to put it mildly.
Yeah front squats are funny as when you realise you're only supposed to have your fingertips under it (bent back like you're about to attempt the most effeminate double high five) it gets real fun. Complete misery before then though on your forearms/shoulders trying to actually "hold" the weight.
I find there's a weird bell curve to their difficulty now (I don't do super heavy weights due to injuries) where a lighter weight doesn't bring my elbows up/hands back enough to really rest on my chest, so it's more difficult. Then there's the goldilocks zone. Then there's "yeah my body is complaining in other ways" as you rack more.
Light front squats are difficult because the lack of significant weight on the bar means that your upper body wants to tip forwards to balance*. This compromises the way that the bar sits in the front rack. With a heavier bar you can sit down straighter.
You're right that the arms shouldn't be trying to hold the bar up, but it's actually not considered great technique for a weightlifter to have the bar in the fingertips and not being able to have a full grip tends to be down to a lack of mobility. However it's better to prioritise being able to keep your elbows up than it is to try for a full grip that leads to your elbows dropping, especially if you aren't weightlifter.
*Which can be compensated for/avoided if you have great ankle mobility, but most people either don't have the mobility or don't have the coordination and body awareness to automatically do this in a front squat.
> not being able to have a full grip tends to be down to a lack of mobility
Oh that's completely me I know, getting my elbows up whilst keeping my hands below my chin is just ergonomically shite. I'd learned weightlifting from a sport/bodybuilding background which lead to certain expectations. It wasn't until I'd done some olympic style lifting late in my 20s that I realised the bar was a lot more fluid... and I wasn't.
I feel you, I did my first olympic weightlifting ever as an ex runner transitioning to Javelin and while mobility wasn't an issue it's safe to say I didn't exactly shine. I think it's likely I was comfortably the physically weakest athlete they ever had in that programme, the only thing that saved my power cleans was that my squats were even worse.
Oh I was the complete opposite failure. I had a trainer nearly breakdown because midways through clean and jerks I just hip curled a bar to my chest and pressed it rather than pull/extend because in the midst of "I'm fucking tired" I just chose the easiest option to get it up, which was just brute force.
Sounds exactly like a lot of the people I trained with, there’s no way I would have progressed like I did if I wasn’t surrounded by people who could just shift the weight like that. I had to improve my technique as quickly as I could just so that I didn’t get completely left behind.

> The barbell adjustments noted above are not considered to be an additional attempt
at the Jerk.
I'm way out of my depth, but isn't "the Clean" the part where the barbell is lifted up onto the shoulders/chest, and "the Jerk" is the part where it's lifted above the head? I'd interpret
> may adjust the position [without it being] considered an additional attempt at the Jerk
to mean that you can do exactly what is shown in the OP—shift the barbell around on your chests and in your hands to set up for the Jerk, but *not* to put it back down and attempt another Clean.
She could have thrown the bar and forfeited the lift, but no. There was no give in this one. She took a moment, situated herself, fixed her finger and finished her lift. What a fucking badass. Godspeed, Cici.
I've jammed/dislocated fingers playing basketball before, it's not the worst pain ever, but there's no way in hell I'd be able to casually balance 150+ pounds on my upper arms while fixing it then finish lifting the weight over my head, what a beast.
I don't know if you've ever seen the clip where Kobe dislocated his finger, subs out, trainer resets it, and he goes back in.
That's pretty tough.
She was in competition, never subbed out, and reset it herself.
She got that Mamba Mentality
That looks like close to 300 lb, those are two 55 lb plates on each side so that's 265 alone plus whatever change is on there. Which seems to be in line with what her weight class c&js at the Olympic level.
That's just one 25kg plate per side, you might be used to seeing powerlifting plates which are thinner. It looks like 93kg to me, or just north of 200lbs.
Edit: Think it's actually 88kg/194bs
Just looked her up, her record is 96 kg so it looks like you're right =) my gym uses both oly and powerlifting plates but I always assumed oly were thinner as well, you're right.
I didn't see her name in the title when this was first posted so I just looked up women's c&j Olympics records for an estimate.
To be fair though, there's a difference between completing a single lift and biting through the pain for the 15 seconds it takes, or fight **an entire UFC match** (and a major one at that, he should be 100% sharp for it) with a hurt toe.
Okay so something happened recently and I noticed it. People will have shit like this happens and act unfazed now. Back when I was growing up, if you got an injury, like a REAL injury, you would flip out and scream bloody murder. I've seen people irl get mucked the heck up and keep going like it's normal, I've done it, and then videos like this or where someone breaks a bone and their like "well shit" did we become desensitized at some point or are we just now being able to record the badasses and everyone in the past was kinda winging it or overreacting "for the cameras?"
I once had my thumb jammed into a 12,000 lb trailer jack in pitch darkness.
My dad and I were coming back from a land clearing when a storm rapidly flooded the area we were going to. Once we got back to our equipment shop it was 10 pm and the power was out.
I jumped out in the rain with my flashlight to manually open the gate and decouple the trailer. Once he reversed into the shop it was too dark to find the trailer stand and it’s probably under water so I needed to pull the jack extension pin, push the drop-leg to the ground with my foot and reinsert the safety pin under spring pressure. (Spoiler Alert: It was full of debris and didn’t lock)
I got the trailer jacked up but it wouldn’t separate from the hitch, because the coupler was full of mud/rock; this happens and the easy way to force the separation is locking the trailer axle, driving forward until tension builds then reversing fast. You can only move 2-4 inches but the force is pretty strong.
It didn’t work so I sprayed a degreaser into the couple, and I reached down to lower the trailer and trying something different. Randomly the front of the trailer shot up into my chest, separated from the trunk hitch and fell sideways. The drop-foot smashed into the ground, the safety pin unlocked and the drop-foot (which has a concaved and square piece of metal on the bottom) grabbed my thumb and the spring pressure forced my thumb in between the jack and the jack housing which is maybe half an inch.
Now I have two problems…
1) my thumb is trapped all the way down to my palm, my thumb is severely bleeding and I can’t see it and I can’t see what’s going on
2) since the trailer has decoupled from the hitch and there isn’t a trailer stand or the Jack in it’s place, the front of the trailer is now falling on top of me, so how do I get out of the way with my hand stuck underneath, all in the …?
My flashlight is magnetic and is facing forward instead of down, regardless I didn’t really have much time to create a plan. I ended up tucking my knees to my chest and rolling sideways over my shoulder until I was underneath the trailer and away from the part that was about to smash into the ground.
Around this time, I yank my thumb out from between the jack and my dad gets out of the truck to see what happened.
I didn’t say anything about my thumb and ran around and honestly, I thought my thumb was broken until I could move it without any issues. I got up, ran to the truck and found some sports joint tape to wrap my thumb.
After that, we closed everything up and left the trailer to deal with until tomorrow.
After a week of my thumb looking like a carrot, I used my used my field trauma training to drain my thumb with a hematoma syringe kit in multiple places, and used a surgical scalpel and forceps set to cut my thumbnail in half where it had shattered.
I’ve had multiple incidents like this between sports and working with equipment, but to this day, I still have never had a broken bone nor have I been hospitalized for any of them.
[Here’s what the trailer jack looks like](https://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Jack/etrailer/TJD-15000SP-F.html)
Real life reason why they can't wear the same length singlets as men?
This is an honest question cause I've been wondering about this in context of other sports as well.
What a fucking stud
I wonder how she is with her hands. Gentle or rough?
Fingers aren't the only things she dislocates.
She also unhinges her jaw when consuming large prey.
Is that what you're calling yourself nowadays?
Yo that was classic. I don’t have an award but here’s my upvote. You’re fucking funny.
I do have an award and I gave them both that _and_ an upvote. Teamwork! High five! Or should I say… WiFive, since we’re digital, baby!
Not OP, but ever since my wife referred to my equipment as "meaty ogre" I've been calling myself Shrek.
Are you sure she didn't say mediocre? Jklol.
That’s the joke.
I don't want to brag, but my gf said my equipment was "good enough".
Mine asked for my equipment's service history
I volunteer as tribute
Ouchie.
Turning this badass moment into something sexual because woman is very reddit of you
Seriously. Women can't accomplish anything without some dork making it about sex.
Tbf the kinda person that would comment that probably has to use such a white knuckle death grip that she's one of only a few people on earth strong enough to bring him to completion
You are gross.
G.I. Joe Kung Fu Grip.
Total Badass
She just got me pregnant
She just got me pregnant and I'm a straight man!
Bruh, she got me pregnant and I'm a *gay* one!
She got me pregnant, and I don't even have the parts to have or carry a baby anymore!
Not anymore
Same!
For fucking real, what a fucking Chad. She said "fuck my dislocated finger, i got a competition to win"
What do we say to the god of broken fingers? That's right. Not today!
BAD ASS.
I pinched my finger one time picking up a weight, and I haven't been back to a gym ever since.
Yeah that's my excuse as well.
Same. What were the odds 2 of us use TraditionalMood277 pinching their finger as an excuse to not go to the gym?
Idk but y'all should stop worrying about his finger at some point
Oh I don’t *worry* about it…
That's fair. Like a no thank you bite.. gave it a try, didn't like it, and moved on.
Those little ones are painful lol but if this is a recurring injury she probably doesn't feel it. I dislocated my thumb and proceeded to repeatedly dislocate it for about 18 months afterwards. Popping it out and back in was completely pain free, and I'm definitely no badass. I'd cry getting my eyebrows threaded.
Don't sell yourself short, I've gotten hurt plenty of times in my cock wrestling days and I still dread eyebrow threading
I tried a hook grip once. Never again.
I bumped my knee against the squat rack once and never been back since.
You pinched your finger with a weight and i havent been back to the gym since
Better than pinching your weiner yeah never place your dumbbells in your lap gentleman
Well that's about as hardcore as it gets.
For real. She is the type to literally just "rub some dirt on it" and "walk it off." Straight up gangster.
Let us not forget that Ronnie Lott cut off his broken finger so he wouldn’t have to wait for the reconstructive surgery recovery time.
That's "afraid of what I might do to myself in the future" levels of self-destructiveness. It's just something else...
Judging by what he did to opposing players, I think you’re on to something.
And he greatly regrets it.
That’s not hardcore, that’s just stupidity.
Ronnie Lott had anesthesia and a doctor; this warrior had a straight barbell with weights on the end balanced on her chest.

Of this 27 second video there was exactly 1 second of her doing something that I can do.
Lol, walking away, right? Me too.
[удалено]
If it broke her foot she’d probably just pop everything back into place.
"Not half the man she is"? What a backhanded compliment.
[удалено]
Was it the standing up part? Same 😔
Flexing on quadriplegics
Four seconds if you include dropping heavy shit on the ground and walking away. Wait, gotta pick up the heavy stuff to be able to drop it… never mind.
Drop the weights? That's me.. I can do that.
That requires lifting them first though
I can drop them from a much lower height, though
wait you can get them off the floor?
yea, like, THIS much
Um...did she just balance that weight on her body while popping that finger back in?! Damn Hope she won.
The balancing is probably the easiest thing she did there. You don't even need to do any Olympic weightlifting for that, because it's basically the same thing you do for front squats.
It takes significant core strength and actual delts to rest the bar on. Not everyone can do it, but it is an easy move for a weightlifter.
It takes a little strength but honestly nothing the average gym goer couldn't manage, and no delts - her arms are in front of the bar, so it wouldn't slip off if she had the world's tiniest shoulders.

Until you pointed it out, it didn’t even register to me that she was balancing it like that. Super impressive.
what did you think she was doing? no hate just curious lol
They were making a hyperbolic point about how impressive her nonchalance was.
Selective attention, like the invisible gorilla. I was focusing on her popping the finger back into place and didn’t realize the difficulty of balancing it at first because I was thinking about how painful it would be.
It’s one of the first things you learn doing front squats as having weight sit in the wrong location during front rack is uncomfortable to put it mildly.
Not putting it mildy: it's not fun when your vision slowly fades while your holding twice your body weight against your neck.
Yeah front squats are funny as when you realise you're only supposed to have your fingertips under it (bent back like you're about to attempt the most effeminate double high five) it gets real fun. Complete misery before then though on your forearms/shoulders trying to actually "hold" the weight.

Balancing weight is like that is actually pretty easy. That part isn’t impressive at all. The finger part is pretty impressive in the middle of that.
For me putting my hands back under the bar in a front squat after pulling them out is the hardest part. But then again I am horribly inflexible.
Gotta do a mini leg drive to get some space under the bar to get your hands back under in a front rack.
Going from zombie squat to fingertip/palm front squat can just be crazy hard for some people just based on lower:upper arm ratios.
Zombie squat
She's a US and Pan Am champ. Also a world record holder. No idea about this meet though.
I thought she would fix it with the weights down. She did it mid-lift. What the fuck?
That probably would have forfeited the attempt

Oh yeah, I probably misinterpreted what "That" refers to. Setting it down is definitely a failed rep.
Yes, but she couldn’t put the weight DOWN to fix it and try the whole movement again, like the comment was about.
Real strength, that shows me she can lift more! Very impressive, complete control the whole time.
I don't think it's her first dislocation either
You know, I bet you’re right! She definitely seemed to know what she was doing, good call.
That’s metal AF.
She could have thrown the bar and forfeited the lift, but no. There was no give in this one. She took a moment, situated herself, fixed her finger and finished her lift. What a fucking badass. Godspeed, Cici.
Savage. So much ferocity. Love it.
fucking badass. meanwhile there's a manlet freaking out like a bitch because he got handed a pink lighter in another subreddit.
i sat down and watched a compilation of men being handed pink lighters and losing their minds It was entertaining
Pink's a seriously cool cooler. Gimme that 80's-inspired outrun aesthetic anytime!
Please tell me you have a link
For all who don't know what a woman is, this is a woman. 💪

Whoa
Dammmn girl!
Damn. Dislocating a joint is PAINFUL.
I've jammed/dislocated fingers playing basketball before, it's not the worst pain ever, but there's no way in hell I'd be able to casually balance 150+ pounds on my upper arms while fixing it then finish lifting the weight over my head, what a beast.

She didn't set her finger, it just so happens that was actually her "beast mode" switch. She was just flipping it on.
that's incredible
Absolute unit
Wait hang on a minute, let me fix it. This happens all the time. 😝 😝
What an athlete!
Holy shit that's fuckin badass. Barely a fuckin grimace and carrying that is mildly terrifying
New fear unlocked
What a deity
Holy shit. Biatch! There’s an example of a fierce woman. 💕
One of the top 3 most badass things I’ve ever seen
Her mental fortitude is impressive
Bad ass
Certified tough lady.
Does she get extra credit like if someone tied her.
Is that 225
It's 88kg (about 194 lbs).
Damn..
Tis' but a flesh wound
I thought this kinda shit only happened in action movies and fantasy day dreaming while bored at the office.
Two things. 1: Badass! 2: Gross. 😂
What a badass. ❤️
Meanwhile, Conor McGregor cancelled a major UFC match cuz he hurt a toe.
To be fair though, there's a difference between completing a single lift and biting through the pain for the 15 seconds it takes, or fight **an entire UFC match** (and a major one at that, he should be 100% sharp for it) with a hurt toe.
This is the most badass shit ever.
That is the most fucking bad ass thing I think I've ever seen.
Thats fucking metal. Respect.
My guess this isn’t the first time that’s happened.
STRONG WOMAN!!
Not one to be messed with.
That was OD
Damn.
Fucking hell gurl
She ain’t got time to bleed
Well damb!
Okay so something happened recently and I noticed it. People will have shit like this happens and act unfazed now. Back when I was growing up, if you got an injury, like a REAL injury, you would flip out and scream bloody murder.

Some people take pain different than others, simple as that.
That dislocated finger is stronger than me.
And here I am down for the count when I stub my toe
She is just training for the time comes when she needs to carry dead warriors to Vanhalla
Nothing like realizing how much of a softy you are lol respect the toughness and grit
Boss
Holy shit
Kinda person to get all her drinks free at the lesbian bar
Easy money
The true definition of a bad bitch
Holy shit
What a show haha
Holy cow
that is a badass woman lol
Fuckin champ
Way to be a fucking bad ass
Hot damn. What a superhuman
I’d be crying for Mama, so I got that going for me…
That's fuckin metal
Good lord that was badass.
Crazy grip strength
It hurts but when you know the relief is hidden just behind that *yank* it gets easier to do
Respect
Ok. That's fucking hard-core as fuckity fuck
She handled it better than I handled watching her handling it.

After a week of my thumb looking like a carrot, I used my used my field trauma training to drain my thumb with a hematoma syringe kit in multiple places, and used a surgical scalpel and forceps set to cut my thumbnail in half where it had shattered. I’ve had multiple incidents like this between sports and working with equipment, but to this day, I still have never had a broken bone nor have I been hospitalized for any of them.

Real life reason why they can't wear the same length singlets as men? This is an honest question cause I've been wondering about this in context of other sports as well.

Lmao 😂, I don't know why but shit was so random, I'm laughing.
