My weightlifting coach told me what he thought of my gymnastics training...

"Keep doing it!  It is making you a better weightlifter.  You are much more flexible, smoother and more athletic getting under the bar."

 

Yeah!  And I've been doing H1/F1 for only 3 weeks now!

Congratulations. Although I have no idea how you can achieve that with only 3 weeks of training.

I expected to read something else but you tricked me, which is good though

Yeah, I'm not entirely sure how it's possible either, but that's what my coach said last night after training.  Maybe it is just happenstance that I began my gymnastics training at a time that I happened to be having a break-through in Olympic weightlifting and there is no causal link between the two.  That said, I've definitely had a break-through in my weightlifting, and the only thing that has changed in 3 weeks is the addition of H1/F1.  My guess as to the reason why I would see benefits so quickly (assuming there is a causal link) is the mobility aspect.
