Six months of Weightlifting — here is what actually changed

I started Weightlifting six months ago with zero background in the sport. The first few weeks were humbling — I couldn't do jerk footwork properly and had no idea what third pull under the bar even meant. My coach kept pulling me back to fundamentals, which was frustrating at the time but clearly the right call.

By month three something shifted. the moment the third pull clicks. That was the moment I understood why people stick with this. The chalk investment was worthwhile — don't cheap out on that. technique-before-loading discipline is real and took me longer than I expected to work through. If you're thinking about starting, just go. The learning curve is real but so are the rewards.
