The bomb outs are real. The Effect Size is significant. The supposed recklessness is much harder to find.

A deeper dive on bomb outs from male lifters at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games.

PB's and National records today for Team SSS in the Marrickville Weightlifting Club NSW Weightlifting Association

Bailey made all 6 lifts and totalled 100kg for the first time. Ignacia Shisue Puebla Tsukame PB'd both lifts and her total with 51/65. Aris further advanced all his PB's going 105/125. And Mätthew Gibböns took back the masters National record in the C&J with a 148kg 3rd attempt.

You might have noticed a spike in bombs outs by male lifters in recent major weightlifting competitions.

I went down the rabbit hole of data to figure out why.

If the phenomenon continues in the upcoming 2026 Senior Worlds, I'll look at further analysis based on individual lifters and countries.

A few highlight lifts from yesterday's NSW Weightlifting Association Senior State championships.

Aris had a career best performance, 6 for 6 and 3 PB's. There is only one time you sn**ch 100kg in competitionthe first time, and he did that and more.

Osman Dean finished with 135/160 in the 85kg class. The next training block could out him well above the 300 level.

Nelson Cheng from Sydney High club is a lifter we've collaborated with on multiple occasions. Yesterday he nailed this 136kg jerk to qualify for AWF Senior Nationals later this year.

Danielle Predkowski fought off a week of illness to claim the bronze in the 53kg class. No PB's but will compete again at the AusFitness Expo ⚡️ Global Celebration of Fitness & Health in a few weeks and be able to attempt some bigger lifts.

Ironically, weightlifting has one of the lowest injury rates per hour of participation of all sports.

Unfortunately for what looked like an innocuous twist trying to save a 3rd attempt sn**ch was enough to serously sprain an ankle and prevent making any C&J attempts at

The competition in the 53kg was poised for someone to make heavy jerk attempts at the end, alas we didn't get that chance. What we did see is Nigeria's Onome Didih sn**ch 93kg, just 6kg off the world record standard!

A massive comeback from Mätthew Gibböns at Australian Weightlifting Federation Masters Nationals in Adelaide today in the 40-44 110kg class.

Down by 11kg in the sn**ch, Matt followed a 137kg new National Record with an attempt for Gold at 142kg.

Not only was this rep a PB Jerk, it is a weight Matt has never cleaned before. 2 is all you need - and nobody celebrates like Gibbo!
