How to Count Attempts – An In Depth Guide

September 3, 2020 By Gregor Winter

Now on our Patreon ($5 Coaching Tier): How to Count Attempts in Weightlifting.

Here’s a video that covers the basics of one of the most important things you do as a coach (or an athlete, if you’re competing without a coach): counting attempts and warming up in competition!

This video looks at the why and how of attempt counting, and includes real world examples that you can follow along and learn from.

We start with the absolute easiest scenario—counting for Lasha at the Roma 2020 World Cup—and then look at some more challenging examples.

If you plan on coaching then the skills in this video are essential! Enjoy and let us know what you think.
