Nepoderivi

Uz negativne vijesti o vjerojatnom izbacivanju dizajna utega sa Olimpijade, prevratima u federaciji na svjetskoj razini i svim ostalim dosadnim vijestima...teško je održavati interes na ovaj sport. Osim kad se pojavi ovako neka pozitivna vijest :D
Lu Xiaojun, kineska superzvijezda, lice nabildanosti dizanja utega u 2010ima i osvajač tri zlatne olimpijske medalje, u 39. godini pokušati će još jednom doći do zlata. 🥳

Ovakav pothvat nije se spominjao otkad je zvijezda 90ih, Pyrros Dimas pokušao isto. Stati na podij sa 20 godina mlađim dizačima...moguće ili? :)

Weightlifter Lu Xiaojun Announces He Will Seek Fourth Olympic Gold in Paris 2024 Games | BarBend The impending Paris Olympics are heating up. Current Olympic Champion weightlifter Lu Xiaojun has announced he's not ready to retire just yet.

Sretan i jak osmi mart! 🤩

When Tyra Johansson stepped in to run Eleiko in the 1950s, the company was a producer of small electrical appliances like waffle irons.

At the time barbells were regularly bending or breaking at weightlifting competitions. Tyra made the decision to create a better barbell.

To implement that change, Eleiko needed a loan from the bank where the company had been a customer for decades.

The bank refused her request, Tyra was not even offered a seat at the bank office. The bank’s decision had nothing to do with the company’s financial standing, she was denied because she was a woman.

Tyra did not give up. She went to another bank and finally received a loan. The rest is history. Eleiko's new barbell was the first to hold up for an entire World Cup and you might say that it was a spark that helped create a weightlifting revolution.

Today Eleiko has been manufacturing barbells and other strength equipment for more than 60 years.

In celebration of International Women's Day, we pay tribute to Tyra, a strong woman who helped improve weightlifting and made the world a little stronger.

Every day we are constantly reminded of Tyra's strength. Our tagline “Raise the Bar” is a tribute to her and everyone else who is pushing their boundaries and becoming stronger.

Gender equality has come a long way since the 1950s, but there is still injustice. This is what we are trying to do from our side to decrease them.

Product: We work actively with our products to ensure they appeal to both women and men, small but important details such as the size of the grip on can have a big impact.

Marketing: We work to make more people stronger and believe strength is part of living life to the fullest. Strength does not belong to a particular gender, it is for everyone.

We aim to have a balance of men and women in our pictures. We have a policy against sexism. In our images or in other marketing material, we focus on performance.

Eleiko as an employer: We work actively to have gender diversity across the company.

We know we can continue to raise the bar, and we try to be a little better and more equal every day. If you believe we can improve in some way, please let us know!

Teška su vremena kad za motivaciju treba jedan i jedini - Rigert. A vi, kako 'te?

Dragi moji, znamo li za neku teretanu/crossfit/funkcionalni centar/nečiju šupu ili garažu koji dopušta treninge dizanja utega, a da je na bilo kojem od hrvatskih otoka? 🤗

Amerika je već nekoliko godina u dizačkom zanosu, a za 2019. njihova Kate Nye izabrana je za IWF Lifter of the Year. Van svih sportskih uspjeha, Kate ima zanimljiv internet following - miljenica je horde Redditora i internet liftera. 😂

Većinu dana kava i energy drinkovi rade. Za one ostale tu je vječna motivacija:
