Because people constantly complain about how they wish they'd started sooner, it doesn't matter. You shouldn't worry about the past or the future, focus on the now. What's happening in this very moment.
It's never too late you dipshits. Look at fucking Travis Mash from Mash Elite Fitness, he's 42 and doing 135/165 and has a 293 squat, 182 bench, and a 317kg deadlift (320 from 4cm blocks). another guy named Dan Koppenhaver has a 160/180 snatch/c&j and he's a fireman who hardly gets quality sleep, has a wife and at least one very young daughter. Stop complaining about age and just fucking do it.
>>34835895
thats the heaviest french press I've ever seen op, how much exactly is that?
Can someone explain why, despite the chinese lifters often having great proportions, a significant number have heel lifts, while this is less common among other schools with less favourable proportions (like Russians, etc.)
Just thinking it could be because the chinese lifters are more quad dominant relative to other styles, or maybe it's that I just haven't been paying attention and a lot of soviets have lifts too
>>34835910
What if I'm not taking performance enhancing drugs aka steroids?
>>34835923
how do i become chinese with good proportionS? i have shitty proportions mate and i'm 5'11.
i want to be 5'7.
>>34835910
i dont disagree with you
travis mash is not a good example
he was a champion powerlifter before
someone really old with bad mobility can expect clint darden like progress
i dont think he snatched more than 100, and i dont think his mobility improved all that much
>>34835937
He recently posted a 135. The important thing is that they both train regardless of life matters and they're both pretty good. Not national or international level maybe, but they're good regardless.
>>34835923
>Can someone explain why
i believe kirksman did
something about the chinese doing experiments with their technology shit found that you need heel lifts to lift more efficiently
i dont remember how exactly it goes but it was something along those line lol

Agree with this guy mash was an elite powerlifter. So bad example. I agree with the principal tho.
I just tell myself even if I'm always shit I can always strive to be less shit, and oneday maybe I'll actually be alright.
If I don't bring my ass all the way to the dirt on a snatch/clean & jerk is that classified as a power snatch/power clean or is it just poor form?
@hookgrip
Rumor is that @KLOKOVD is stepping in for @DFord_105 in Houston this year
>>34838187
please be true
also what do you guys think are some good ways to build overhead stability/strength?
when I jerk it's my ability or maybe confidence to hold the weight overhead that fucks me
>>34838187
klokov doesnt eem compete anymore

Clint darden is a good example in some ways. He's stronger than most but his mobility is woeful, not being able to even to get into a front rack. Just shows despite your limitations you can always work round them
how do i stop rounding my back after breaking parallel? i can squat ATG but after parallel my back start rouding, like is it a buttwink?
>>34838348
try widening your stance or hip flexibility

After looking at some mace/indian club shit after that shoulderok shit, I like the crucifix lift. That's arms out to the side with weights.

when should i use straps for the snatch?
what can i do to keep my shoulders healthy? I feel that there is a tendon that hurts after every training session but since I have only been training for one week and a half I havent given it much attention

yes
>>34840647
Lmao what dimas clips have you guys been watching? I dont see a resemblance
>>34838092
Nah, not necessarily. It still counts as a full snatch if it has depth, a power snatch is to parallel.
>went to a pl como
>most of my lifting acquaintances do pl

Does anyone feel this way too?
>>34840977
>>went to a pl como
stopped reading there
>>34840977
feels the same.
powerlifting feels like a dropout for mediocre athletes
>>34840977
I personally find power lifting cool, I like seeing heavy squats, dears and bench presses. In my opinion, what ruins power lifting is how cheating the lifts is a big part of their sport, like squatting only to a certain depth below parallel, having no limit on how much you can arch on the bench etc. And the fact that there are drug feds for steroid users. Everybody in weightlifting is on enough steroids to make a wada tester proud, but at least they don't openly admit it.
Ive been watching some training videos and I noticed that some weightlifters dont go ATG on backsquats, mostly chinese
they do go atg on front squats though, does anyone know why?

Hi guys, maybe I'm right here:
I'm doing 3x5 deadlift with increasing weight and currently 125kg [~275 lbs] at 75kg [~165 lbs] bodyweight.
I started to get pain in my lower back (i have a medium scoliosis, especially strong at the lower back). Probably also a reason is/was that I'm slightly losing form on the last rep of the sets.
what should I do if I want to continue with deadlifts?
-> reduce weight, then do 3x8? (is 3x8 a thing for deadlifts??).
-> reduce weight but stick to 3x5?
-> keep weight but 3x3 and only slow weight-increase?
>>34844034
the first thing you should do is check in what general you've posted
>>34843955
Does that count as a power jerk or a squat jerk?
>>34843955

MUH PROPORTIONS
I've been struggling a lot lately with getting underneath the snatch.
I don't think it's a strength issue because I can power the lift with higher weights than I can actually full snatch, but I just get to a point where my strength doesn't make up for the fact I can't get underneath the snatch.
Would high snatches help? I'm not sure what I need to fix about the lift.
How on earth do I put a jerk back on my front rack without smashing the fuck out of my collarbone?
I swear it's impossible
>>34844204
>Would high snatches help? I'm not sure what I need to fix about the lift.

>>34844209
i used to lift at a commercial gym you have to control the weight down then meet it up on your toes to soften the landing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9W13TS_MAI
>>34844198
Neither of them have huge femurs in relation to their shin
But I agree with your point that proportions aren't the be all and end all
>>34844242
its berestov
why is it femur to shin now? before it was all about torso to femur
next it would be forearm length to dick girth
>>34844134
Nice quarter squats lmao
>>34844198
Proportions do play a part in athletic performance. Not saying "if u have long femurs u better kill uraelf cus ull never get good" you can become a world record holder with 'bad proportions', but saying they have no part in the movements is naive.
>>34844209
With light weights, like for jerk balance, lower it down like the negative in a press.
If the weight is too heavy for that then drop the bar onto your back. Guide it down and pop up on your toes to receive it.
>>34844430
>but saying they have no part in the movements is naive.
who said that
>>34844494
Nobody. I'm just saying proportions do play a part. Yuri vardanyans snatch will be different to ilyas snatch. Both are Olympic champions, but vastly different proportions,so they lift differently.
Yuri vardanyan is also the first person to get a 400 kg total in his weight class, so there's that too. The whole proportions discussion is stupid because proportions won't have bearing on how good you can be.
>>34844319
Femur to shin and torso are all relevant. But people often see long legs and assume shit proportions. Femur relative to shin is the defining factor of wether the torso length is an issue.
Can't remeber the site but there was one with 3d modelled skeletons squatting which showed how relative limbs creative levers that were more or less favourable.
End of the day though, I agree, you can bemoan the lack of perfect proportions till your blue in the face, in every sport there's a way to work around less than perfect builds and people should just get on with it instead of blaming it.
with all this USAW world team drama doesn't that mean it's a good thing that usaw can still enter athletes they want that fail drug tests?
imagine for example if clarence kennedy competed in usa he gets busted by usada but usaw says fuck that shit guys he's got the best chance of medalling let's enter him
isn;t that what's happening with sarah robles thing
>>34844319
>Forearm length to dick girth
Often overlooked Imo senpai
>>34844659
>less than ideal
But there aren't really. Unless you have some outlandish proportions, like a 2 inch torso an 30 inch arms, your proportions are fine.
>>34844659
>Can't remeber the site but there was one with 3d modelled skeletons squatting which showed how relative limbs creative levers that were more or less favourable.
http://www.athleticdesign.se/athletics/squat_article_1_english_page3.html
i was the one that always linked this site
>Femur relative to shin is the defining factor of wether the torso length is an issue.
how does the shins tie to all this
besides ive yet to see someone with very long shins or if i did i cant remember it being a problem
>>34844817
i forgot to mention
if you have long femurs relative to torso your starting position would look fucked like berestov's
why would shins make it not fucked???
>>34844846
>your starting position would look fucked
Its not fucked, it's just the ideal position for him. Proportions only change the kind of technique you use, it doesn't make you worse at a lift.
>>34844880
>it doesn't make you worse at a lift.
that's why i said it would LOOK fucked
>>34844894
And how is this a problem? You get judged on completing a lift properly, not how pretty it looks.
>>34844943
i never said it was, i'm asking why the guy thinks shin to femur matters, it's torso to femur which dictates start position
>>34844389
post video of you quarter squatting 290 please
>>34844748
They do play a part, there's no deneying it. For example a guy with long femurs and a short torso isnt going to sit very upright in a snatch receive. That is less than ideal. Is it a big issue though? Not really.
Heres how i see it; Let's say for the sake of argument that that someone who had typical 'Chinese lifter' proportions had an accident that someone shrank his torso and enlarged his femurs (kek). That's a problem, as the positions are all fucked. But, if you've grown up and lifted your whole life with long femurs or six dicks, you don't know any different so how much of a challenge is it really?
I think the real challenge for lankier lifters come when self teaching, cos if they emulate the little Chinese dudes they will struggle. But any decent coach will just set their start up according to their build surely?
>>34844985
>>34844985
Longer shins enable you to sit more upright because with shorter shins the hips have to be further back, meaning with a short torso you're gonna have a fucked looking start like you said.
Does the dprk's success prove you don't have to have been a good lifter to be a good coach?
>>34845161
Behdad salimi stands at a lanky 6'6 and he has the snatch world record at shw by 214. Yuri had a short torso and he had the snatch record in his weight class before the weight class restructuring. Yuri also went extremely deep in his snatches, a perk he had thanks to his femurs. There are no 'less than ideal' proportions in this sport. Weightlifting is one of the most forgiving sports when it comes to body builds.
>>34842006
shit i read it as dimas, not dima
mb
>>34840017
why is rigert kid so shit
110 only snatch 160 lmao
what happened to genetics
>>34845225
Being a good coach is about how knowledgeable you are about the sport. Yu jie trains most of China's Olympic athletes, but he has never competed himself
Was doing GHRs and while they weren't hard, I had to stop after 3 sets because I thought my hamstrings were going to cramp or pull or something. Was just doing +30kg barbell, so not like I was too heavy or anything. Is this normal? Should I have stretched more?
>>34845563
yes dont be fucking retarded and add weight too soon if you haven't been doing them regularly
i got cramps when i added them in with no weight
now im doing 40kg after 2 weeks of regularly doing them no cramps either
>>34845609
yeah this was probably the first time I've done them, I usually do RDLs for hamstrings instead. Did you just do a standard progression by adding weight in small increments after unweighted?
>>34845629
yes
>>34845563
What are ghrs?
>>34845187
yes, but you could say the same about femur length.
>>34845723
glute ham raise. usually a powerlifting accessory movement. google image search ghr machine
>>34836476
>other schools are so open to sharing but the chinese aren't
This is the typical Chinese mentality in anything state sponsored. Namely, operate under a veil of secrecy and allow Gwai Lo to mistake "population volume" for "better" wherever there is a success.
tldr; small part of the wider propaganda machinery, sadly not joking.
secret chinese technique courtesy of Mastremf
"After extension the ankle and hip must create a downward and backward force while the knee and shoulder create a forward and downward force. Their forces must be simultaneous and in equal magnitude in order to enter a catch position where the balance is over the center of their feet. This is especially true when squat jerking."
WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME
>>34845802
deliberately misleading to make people think they just get lucky with numbers?
>>34845884
I guess he's trying to say that knee/shoulder flexion cause you to move towards the bar, and ankle/hip flexion cause you to move away from the bar, and if one of these is weak or overdone then you'll lose balance
>>34845931
>I guess he's trying to say that knee/shoulder flexion cause you to move towards the bar, and ankle/hip flexion cause you to move away from the bar, and if one of these is weak or overdone then you'll lose balance

>>>34845802
>deliberately misleading to make people think they just get lucky with numbers?
The Chinese just have a very large number of kids that go into an enormous state sponsored WL funnel at an early age.
That funnel works well over time in separating the wheat from the chaff.
Even with a training program lesser to other countries they can generate a number of phenoms.
>>34846139
Oh I misread it as the opposite. That's a little depressing
>>34844049
It looks like he breaks parallel so squat jerk.
>>34846440
Holy shit
>>34846440
what a lucky fuck, but he should have bailed earlier.
>>34846440
I cringe at how much his knees hyperextend. He has some balls to be doing pro weightlifting with such joint laxity.
>>34846746
>knees hyperextend.
at what point exactly are his knees hyperextended
>>34846786
that's nothing compared to most women's weightlifter's elbows when they snatch, almost all of them look like they're about to pop out

I generally get into a plank position and put my foot behind me, weight on the ball of the foot, and try to touch my ankle to the ground, if that makes sense.

downward facing dog yoga pose.
>>34848401

>>34848425

>>34848443
i j-just want to see you lift b-baka!!
>>34848096
what exactly is wrong with this position?
>>34848401
Sorry but I don't know how to imagine that.Do you mean this? >>34848413
>>34848478
That pose along with the one done holding a weighted bar on your knees while in the bottom position of the squat are 2 of the greatest calves stretches I know.
>>34848478
yeah that's it, I don't know yoga poses so had to google it
>>34848504
>>34848505
>>34848388
Thanks. My left calf is fucked for some reason, can't even get down without my left heel raising. Idk how did this happen, I don't stretch my right calf excessively over my left or anything like that.
>>34848309
it's better on a box
I think you guys stretch too much. Is it so hard to squat been doing that straight out the womb bruh
I think shes looking at me guise
Anyone else who lifts at an xfit gym feel out of place?
>>34848728
You're born with extremely good flexibility. Everybody is. Watch a toddler playing and running around, they'll be able to squat easily and hold this position for hours. It's only because of sitting on chairs everyday, living sedentary lifestyle and lack of movement causes your muscles and joints to tighten and stiffen.
>>34848735
Looks like she's having a seizure.
Call the paramedics

Never understood the whole yellow fever thing desu.
How does the bar not damage your penis when you snatch?
>>34849372
Work on ankle flexibility.

Can I get a form check please?
Had to take a coiple of months off due to an injury (not WL related) and I'm currently keeping it fairly light, also training without a coach
Moving to a different area soon so will be looking for a coach in the next couple of months

>>34852212
your too slow and not catching deep enough
>thf hot blonde milf at work says I look nice and she likes my shirt
I already have to pull it in the bathroom to stay sane, I can't deal with this shit.
I can't decide between split and power Jerk. Both feel awful. I lose balance easily on split and I lose a lot of bars forward during power. Fuck jerks.
Coach had me doing squat in split to help with balance. Anything else you guys recommend?
>>34852470
>Coach had me doing squat in split to help with balance
lmao wtf.
No, you just need to fucking split often, with light weight. And then do split holds with heavy weight
>>34841173
About the drugs part, it's great to have open feds desu, if the open feds don't have significantly higher lifts we can all agree that steroids don't work
>;^)
>>34852395
too slow I definitely agree with, my second pull lacks explosiveness - something I'm working on
Could you expand a little on not catching deep enough? Isn't it just a function of how high you can pull the bar? and so where you catch it is where you needed to be?
Thanks for response too m8
>>34852703
>Isn't it just a function of how high you can pull the bar?
No, its a function of how fast you can go from full extension, to relaxing legs and getting under.
>>34852703
so you catch the bar almost atg then drop get a bounce and ohs back up, maybe youre pulling it too high probably because its also relatively lightweight baby
>>34852765
okay, thanks
>>34852807
yeah i could power snatch that fairly easily
>>34852535
Not that guy but what is split hold pls?
>>34853179
Split jerk heavy weight from the rack, and hold for 5-10seconds each rep
How do you train the catch? As in, getting under fast and holding onto the bar.
>>34853265
Ok think of catching as having a success window.
The faster you can go from full extension, sot pulling under, the larger the success window.
I just switched to front squats last week for the first time. Is it normal for your upper inner back to get sore or did I snap some shit up? I'm like 90% sure it's DOMS but in the back of my mind I'm wondering if I fucked something up. I wasn't using heavy weight, btw. I was just using really light weight to get a feel for the form and concentrating on my technique.
>>34853223
>>34853223
Cool thanks I might try it my jerk is not good
>>34853320
Yes its normal. You have to focus on staying upright as well.
>>34853320
Keep your elbows up
>>34853276
How the fuck does that help if he doesn't know how to go under fast?
I swear these internet coaches will make anything up to look intelligent
>>34853505
It helps because he spends too much time extending. The instant you finish extending, you get under, not before, not after. If you extend for too long, you'll most likely fail. Not my fault youre dumb.
>>34848248
what r angles xd
do you guys do some form of strict overhead pressing every week
because im reading that most people dont do ohp
>>34853590
No. but you can if you. I mean, weightlifting is majority hips, so I dont see a big purpose in ohp
>>34853630
holding weight overhead doesnt require shoulder strength?
Sure less than pressing strength but still could do as an assistance exercise
>>34853739
It does.
Dude, please...
I'm sick of /fit/s idiocy today and I dont have patience for this. Figure it out for yourself.
guys can you give me some advice on my snatch?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZugmS64ZD7A
>>34854078
yes
>>34854428
well then anything wrong with it exept pussy weight?
Brehs is nofap fo real?
>>34854436
Lots
>>34854436
I usually have to ost my form checks 2 or 3 times before i get anything constructive
often there's no-one willing to comment or you just get this shit>>34854687
anyway i'm a novice too so can't offer much insight, are you making contact with your hip after th first pull though? can't really tell from the video/doesn't look like it
>>34853739
why not do heavier push press, its got better carry over and still works your shoulders
What do you guys do for core and upper back? My front squats suck
>>34855076
Rows, pull ups, and... Front squats
>>34854994
what is the carryover between push press and OHP
>>34855238
between push press and jerk retard
>>34854078
Needs more hip extension
Dropped under the bar as opposed to pulling yourself under
That's the glaring issues. But I'm an amateur so take that into account.
asked before but didnt get an answer
I'm training under a coach in my WL club in my city. He has me doing squats/bench/deadlift etc. driving them up, he has me doing some mobility, for my wrists and ankles, plus some squat stretches and DRILLS TO GET A BIGGER BENCH ARCH He doesn't have me doing any oly lifts and he says this is to build some kind of a base of strength and prevent injury for future gains. Is this bullshit? Feels weird because I don't give a shit about powerlifting I just want a strong CJ and snatch.
For reference, my lifts are 165/115/200(sbd) @82 around 13% bodyfat.
>>34855799
hes just rusing you. ditch him
>>34855845
he used to be the best lifter in my country though he won the championships like 3 times
>>34855799
Your coach should've started you with an empty bar to practice the lifts, no strength required for that.
>>34855901
so is he a retard or what? should I switch gyms?
>>34855887
I just kekked at him getting you to bench so you can be better at WL
>>34855908
From what you typed out, he's training you more like a powerlifter than a weight lifted so I'd say yes, switch.
>>34855931
Ah okay. It will be hard to find a good coach in stockholm.
