Olympic Qualifiers: Behind the Scenes (Arnold Bronze Event 2020)

- This was my last Olympic Qualifying event to make me eligible for the 2020 Olympics. It was my second (of 2 needed) in my new Olympic weight category, the 87kg class. The week of this competition, they announced that "NO SPECTATORS WOULD BE ALLOWED" due to the Coronavirus, leading to many athletes dropping out. While it was disappointing to perform for potentially the last time in the qualifications for the Games on the floor with no crowd vs the big stage with thousands watching, it made the entire experience so much more relaxed and fun.
We came here to check off our "readiness requirement" for the Pan American Championships later in the year (that were later cancelled), and needed to hit 95% of our qualifying total. For us, that meant openers and then more or less a play day for the remaining attempts. We only took 5 of 6 attempts, as I was still recovering from the illness in that last video and I wasn't at 100% yet. No problem though, we only needed to be in 95% shape!!
A little look at what goes on behind the curtains. The buzz, the conversations, the attempt changes at the card table, the fun of being able to compete right next to your teammate. All things you wouldn't normally get to see unless you were competing yourself.

Wow, this is better than just training vlogs.
Love these vids! Honestly if you made just compilations of you working out I’d love it. It helps motivate me while I run on the treadmill cuz weightlifting has been put on pause
Definitely one of my favorite lifters ever. Such incredible form. So well done!
I always love watching you lift, looking forward to seeing more.
I am now a huge Aimee fan. You all work so well together. I think many fans were nervous when you switched coaches, but it was obviously for the better. Great athlete coach chemistry!
This was awesome to watch, thank you Mattie ♥️
I was holding my breath. Wow, strong woman!!! Really impressive!
Mattie, I just wanna be able to snatch 80% of what you're doing. You're crazy strong. Keep up the good work.
So happy you started a TH-cam channel!🥳🤗
Wow this was so entertaining. Loved this!
Keep them coming!
Loved this SO MUCH
Awesome job! You’re an inspiring person.
Love the way her trainer motivates her at the last second 👍💪
Respect
I finally got a chance to watch this and holy heck! Maddie is a BEAST!
God Damn! I get so pumped up for this woman.
Just started lifting again after over a decade off! I finally have that lovely sore feeling after working out that i have missed so much, and didn't realize it till i felt it when i woke up this morning :) As a big fat fuck, i have a long way too go, but i am finally in the right mind set to get things done and enjoy watching lifting videos and came across your Ice Bath Q&A and checked your channel and found this video. WOW!!! Sooooooo inspiring! The enthusiasm is just infectious and is just what i need! Makes me want to tain again today, but im gonna be smart and rest and take it slow at first so i don't hurt myself. Thank you for being you and in turn inspiring me :)
Hope you will succeed wish you good luck on the journey don't give up it's not worth it :)
that was insane!! that's some serious weight!
awesome ....great motivation
Holy shit it’s hectic back there. You do so well to keep your composure 😍
Killing it
Great speed and power!
It’s so weird going from the quarantine training show to watching this Bc everything isn’t flipped from the camera. Also love Aimee walking up with you. She’s the best
Mattie is a savage. Such a gifted athlete and works her ass off. She’s got that killer in here yes when she’s competing !
Hot damn! That was impressive!
Mattie is amazing in every way!!💓💪😎
So grateful I got 2 c this footage! Thanks for sharing wiv us! 💪❤️🙌
You are very impressive andamazing in Tokyo. AlreadyYouarethechampion. your emotion and sprit highly impressed us. never give up.just fighting. Your fans in Shanghai China.
Nice, keep uploading pls😍😍🏋🏻♀️🏋🏻♀️
I like the fact that is perfectly clear to see your Gymnastics background when you are in competition...You have a gracious way when you're sitting, walking, approaching the bar and even in the lift itself. (P.S: I never noticed that Aimee have two lions in her left arm. Which makes total sense because she have the fierceness and strength of two lions.... She is also a bit scary😨 )
super legit! thanks for the video you and your coach make a perfect duo
So happy for this channel. Mattie Rogers you are gorgeous and strong 💪🏾
Mattieeee! I stan! 🤗🤗🤗
Great!
Wow! Great lifts! You almost had that one.
Great camera work
Awe I miss hugging 🤗
Wished we all could have a coach with the same drive and tenacity as Aimee.
I want to know something. What kind of mental preparation do you do before competition? Any visualization/affirmations/routines that help get you confident before a meet? Oddly enough, I have read that Mike Tyson used to be 'hypnotized' before his fights. Seems like it paid off haha
*Maravilhosa* 🔥😳💙
💘
more please
To me, Mattie now is like Tian tao one year ago. Bulked up and ready for the Oly 2020
I am a fan
This is way better than those 1 rep deadlifts
@00:07 Many might not recognize her, but that's the girl on the book, "Olympic Weightlifting" by Greg Evertt. Mattie's got some old school talent behind her.
Rawr!
Track uniform -> Lifting Singlet
She looks like a young super hero
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
In wich class she were before? 73kg?
Warmups at 1:20 : I know that's easy weight, but isn't that dangerous to have that (loaded) barbell on the floor behind? Anyways thanks for the vid. Can't wait to get into Olympic lifting---looks like fun!
Sean Kennedy no cause it light weight
Did she make it to the Arnold's?
So cute....then ....Beast mode....💖💖💖👌🍻
Who is the girl that lifted the barbell at 1:04?
+1
Cheese purrty 😍
Just curious, why did you decide to step up a weight class? Is it just for Olympics or more permanent move?
I believe they changed the weightclasses recently so those who are now in between had to chose to cut down or move up.
She adjusted because of her fellow US weightlifter in her old category, which currently is the world record holder and world champion where she is the silver medalist, and unfortunately her compatriot has more robi points to qualify for the olympics so she is left with no choice to either change her weight class or no olympics. I don’t know why only 1 representative per country can go but yeah it’s the rules... hope this helps (:
Rogers Martha Ann Cool! )
I love and adore you. you are a good athlete, inspire for training!)
You are beautiful. !!!!!!❤️
she is nice!!!!!!!!!!
How do you decide the weight you start putting your belt on ?
Willy Wonka it’s a matter of comfort from what an oly weightlifting coach told me. They would have lifters go belt-less and others go when they’re 80% of their max
@@AlejandroSanchez-pl6jw you are exactly right. My belt doesn't come out till around 90%. Or if i am very fatigued.
OMG Tom Hardy is there!
When Aimee writes on the paper before you go on what is she doing?
emmaraekidd she is changing Mattie’s attempts. For example, if her warm ups looked really good, and she was set to open at 100kg, Aimee might change it to 102kg, and so on. Same for later attempts. If 102 as an opener looked bad, Aimee might change her second attempt to 103 instead of 104, etc etc
Those were some CLEAN fuckin lifts.
2:25 nice!
Aimee Everett is the BEST coach.
GOTTEN THICK..
all thoses PAWG
john rodriquez lmao
was scrolling down looking for this haha!
thicc
who is mattie's teammate in the red?
B Juliana Riotto
She over pulled her first 2snatches, (was lucky to recover) the coach should have picked up on that and had her correct. She would have gotten her third lift if the coach had told her to pull straighter and not swing so much. I see this as a coaching error.
Hot🔥
Matty lookin big
that's the problem
This is when she looked good, no tattoos,no hair dye. Clean, just being a normal girl ...
Damn, this girl is fine. So damn fine ❤❤
I love to watch you lift. I also think you are adorable a little thicker.🤷♀️ It suits you, you look strong AF! 💪
I'm glad they are forced to use kilos instead of lbs.
Because it is less confusing, right?
@@Ice-Fall Because they are forced. :)
ok that's one hot and attractive girl
7:45. Everytime I see that it makes me cringe.
Dope video Mattie! Hope you don’t mind if I shamelessly plug my channel in your comments!! Much love!❤️ hope your quarantining is going well. See you when it’s all done 💪🏽
She is not moving away in the beginning from the girls way. Too close. Rude
She looks like she put on some weight.
Side effects of supplements. 😏
and she looks great
Truth Street no she went up a weight class
women destroy their bodies and female appearance with that stuff.
