The Polish just seemed to keep them moving around for most of the day. Moving moving moving moving moving.
Not lifting weights for most of the time, but moving moving moving. Trying, always, to move smoothly and well.
And the volleyball etc was about JOY in moving. I guess. The enjoyment and motivational aspect.

So if you are mostly moving and eating and sleeping... Then moving and eating and sleeping... Well, that's how you get to 6 training sessions per day.

I don't know how much you need to train weightlifting particularly.
I guess it is 'weakest link' is one way to look at it or think about it. What is what prevents you from lifting more weight?

I didn't mean to accuse Valarie Adams of bad technique. I know she has done a lot of training and so on. I just don't get why she doesn't spin before launching.
I don't know anything about throwing... So I don't know why spinning is the predominant technique. Or why she doesn't (I imagine it was because she was never taught. And nobody allowed her to take time off enough to learn to do it that way).

NZ has a female weightlifter who has been doing quite well. She's got a good build for it. Athropometry. I guess...
But I think she has problems with her scapula. She isn't retracting her scapula properly.
When you can't retract your scapula properly you get shoulder impingement.
She can't stably hold the bar over her head because she can't get her scapula into position.
I know... Because I have that problem, also.
The Ukranian guy --- There is one of his videos where he retracts his scapula properly with his shirt off and...
OMG.
I didn't know the scapula could do that.
I mean... I did not know that that amount or degree of scapula retraction was the aim or goal.
He showed how retracting the scapula to that position creates a stable shelf for everything. It really locks everything into place.
_________
I feel bad... That when I watch her lift, now, my eyes bleed / I cringe.
Because instead of taking the time to rehabilitate her scapular retraction they have her lifting very heavey weights overhead already and you see her shoulder wobble and she says it hurts.
