Crossfit gyms work
forgive me for interrupting your worlds streaming banter but I'd like to post some of the things i tried today and maybe get the next big things i need to tackle. Making webums currently.
>>34993087
i doubt your mobility has improved in the last few days and thats your biggest limiting factor by a fucking huge margin
>>34993087
yeah do it

>>34993094
So I read the article / videos on the muscle snatches. I tried to do them today but i kinda did a half assed mixture of a snatch and a muscle snatch lol
One big thing I think i'm starting to understand is that the whole hip banging thing isn't really a thing, and that the movemnt is really about just pulling the bar straight up, and letting your body be the reaction mass from pulling it up.
I might have that concept fucked up a bit, but thats what I'm noticing. I've also been going over all the webms posted and breaking down the small parts of the lifts. its insane to watch how quickly they drop under the bar. also how close they keep the barbell to their bodies.
also Caladan, I had some questions for you about this while i was lifting but i forgot them lol. As I watch some Webms and drink beer tonight I'll probably remember some and periodically quiz you if thats ok
>>34993092
>>34993097
just don't respond. it won't generate much traffic.
Best girls so far

>>34993290

M-maybe c&j?
>>34993289
keep your chest up the entire time
>>34993289
>One big thing I think i'm starting to understand is that the whole hip banging
yeah you shouldn't be banging your hips.
Norse, try catching at the very bottom of snatch poisiton and tell me how it feels. use a brromstick
>>34993289
how does it feel to be that strong? it looks like you had to try not to throw that bar away
>>34993289
Go from power position to snatch
then hang --> power ---> overhead
Floor --> Hang---> Power--> Overhead/sqaut
pause at every position
>>34993289
slow down your pull so you can actually feel the positions, you're still just ripping the bar off the floor i dont really see any difference from before
do low hang snatch like torokhtiy does them, start from the top then go down into almost all the way down to the floor but don't let the weights touch, focus on keeping the lats tight but arms relaxed you do this by internally rotating them then shaking them around, you keep the lats tight right at the top by keeping your chest up you should feel it all throughout the snatch
if you manage to keep the lats tight and just pull straight while keeping the same back angle you'll feel how it's supposed to properly make contact with the body
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2bcJFvW8nY
around 8:20 of the video he shows you how to find that low hang snatch position
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2h3qYrpteKY
around 6:20 you can see him do the exercise
>>34993289
your start position isn't being held for very long, you've got to think of it more like a hack squat with the weight mostly on the midfoot. What you're doing is more like a deadlift because your chest is down. If you hyperextend your back a little you'll see what happens to the chest. You also bend your arms immediately which isn't a good idea, your arms should be ropes.
watch this video too

I hate female weight training, whether it be bb, pl or wl. They suck and shouldn't do it.
I am watching the female live stream. So shit desu. Worse than juniors
>>34993289
it looks like you're not getting tight in the back in the starting position at all
once you're in starting position force your chest up and you should have a similar feeling as when you get tight for a deadlift
>>34993448
Cool opinion man, too bad nobody really cares
>>34993448

>snatching more than twice her bodyweight
yeah bruh
>>34993377
>curl your shoulders over the bar and SIMULTANEOUSLY pull your chest up
FUCKING HOW. I've tried a million times. I either hyperextend my whole back or i round my shoulders forward
>>34993492
internally rotate your shoulders/elbows, you're not supposed to keep them locked in nikita explains in the video did you even fucking watch?
>>34993492
Dude
hunch over like a gorilla
Right now, with nothing in her hand
Now dont move your arms, and move your chest up,
>all this fantastic advice
holy shit. thank you, srs
>>34993337
Can't do it at this second, but I've tried it before. if you check my OHS you'll see why. my hips are just all sorts of fucked up and not in a good position for this stuff at all, and that causes my arms to have to be wrenched way back.
Shall i try and record it at a later date?
>>34993338
pretty shit desu. i hate being huge while still being unathletic and ugly
>>34993367
are you saying just get to those positions and hold it? then proceed to the next position? do this as a normal routine?
>>34993374
>slow down
Will do. I thought i saw and felt a big different compared to before though :(
>>34993374
>just pull straight while keeping the same back angle
This is actually what i was realizing and trying to focus on today, and i stopped after getting a bit frustrated that I could visualize what i wanted to happen but couldn't make my body do it lol.
>links
Thank you, looking forward to watching these tonight
>>34993377
ik. as mentioned above, i had to quit after getting frustrated that i couldn't prevent that from happening.
>hyper extend back a little
as in, over arch it? and you want me to do this to see how it affects my chest? (just trying to make sure i understand)
>arms bend
also frustrating. I did realize today that the internal rotation thing is a big deal and tried to work on it. Is this something that will come in time with concentrating on it? or do i need to do something active to try and teach my arms to stay internally rotated?
>video
will watch in about 30 minutes or so
>>34993444
200 lbs, maybe. idk that i'll ever be able to get serious into WL... maybe if i end up finding a coach....
If i can ever get to a 100 kg snatch, even if its just me retarding up the weight, i'll be happy.
>>34993457
ok. this actually kinda makes sense to me
>>34993492
This is actually the exact problem I was noticing when i tried to rotate my arms forward
Damn the girls didn't even get near the wr
>>34993485

>>34993546
>>34993512
>>video
>will watch in about 30 minutes or so
>>34993512
My best advice would be to keep a slightly arched (hyperextended) back. Weight on the heels. Bar over the balls of your feet.
Try and get down lower. You are pressing the weight out (thats illegal in oly lifting).
You need to get under the bar, extend your arms out and receive. Maybe its due to a lack of confidence
Dw rippletits has you covered
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O327jxFqzQM
Also imagine rotating your arms forward like trying to snap a twig
>>34993512
>Can't do it at this second, but I've tried it before.
Whenever you get a chance, just bang out as many overhead squats you possibly can
>>34993569
shut the fuck up rippetard, there's already plenty of good advice, we dont need someone who cant even do the snatch correctly try to teach someone how to
>>34993512
yes, overarch your back. it will help you transfer force a little more cleanly
>>34993512
>are you saying just get to those positions and hold it? then proceed to the next position? do this as a normal routine?
Once you get to the position, hold for a few seconds and proceed with the lift from there.
So first.
Power position, then overhead
2.
Hang, hold
Then full overhead from this position. So you'll be passing by the power
3.
From the floor, all the way up.
1 and 2 are the most important for getting the right tech. For you right now, hang position is important
>>34993597
have you tried low hang snatches like i mentioned above yet? i'm the guy who linked you the nikita and yashablog btw, was also supposed to meet you at calstrength if you went but you didnt
try them if you haven't, it's really good to keep the lats engaged and how you're supposed to feel before you pull the bar off the floor, everyone at calstrength loves doing them now since torokhtiy showed us
>>34993593
Faggots like u who hate on rips but cant actually provide an argument are the worse
>>34993448
You're like the women who scream that all men are monsters when they hear about a domestic violence case.
Pls go back to normie /fit/, u meming faggot
>>34993626
yeah I actually have good form in hang and block work. For some reason it's only when I'm coming off the ground that I have trouble with back tightness. I think this is a flexibility issue though
I was also doing great before I had this enforced hiatus because of travel, illness, etc. so I think I need to get back in the groove
yeah thanks for both of those btw, they've been a huge help. I didn't manage to get over to the Bay in the end.
>>34993575
ehhhh I did try another one today.
so, i know this is where the mobility fucks me hard, but god damn overhead squats hurt my elbows like CRAZY.
my hips were a little tighter than normal today, but its usually not much better than this.
>>34993569
yeah, i'm aware its not where near legal. I was originally trying to do those "muscle snatch" things that caladan suggest lol
my focus has recently been on getting the extention figured out. for some reason its the most appealing to me
>>34993597
okie doke
I was watching >>34992488 this webm specifically. Its interesting how the shins /hips shift back, but the back angle doesn't change. I put a small amount of effort into trying this today but didn't even come close
>>34993605
pls dont' hate but can i get an image / demonstration of each of those positions? I'm not familiar with them ( ._.)

He's cool but just do power snatches if u arent going to go full oly
>>34993674
these videos also help
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf6xwLbXiRc&list=PL2PvsmPd4w7IAICRku04_d3ejdfpBzab9
I'm giving you all these resources assuming you're actually trying to transition into full weightlifting proficiency
>>34993674
Mobility mobility mobility
Hip mobility, most importantly shoulder mobility
Then stretch out your triceps, maybe your pecs too.
Start off with high bar ATG squats (static stretch your ankles), front squats (with a full grip) and then proceed to OHS.
OHS is much like a low bar squat
Again our man rippetoe has us covered
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCWLs1jTOVE
>>34993674
you can't just watch random webms and try to copy form, some of the webms being posted here are not the best example of good technique, CJ especially is not very good technique
watch this one instead
>>34993688
you still need to learn how to snatch properly to power snatch, the muscle snatch thing that you obviously didn't read will teach you the proper mechanics of a snatch
>>34993703
still do them, like i said it's almost an inch off the floor and teaches you how the proper tension
>>34993635
>>34993714
i wish the rippetoe posting would just get banned, would be nice if the generals actually had moderation instead of constant trolling
>>34993729
alright, I'll give it a shot. You mean these right?

>>34993743
But then what would i do with my pathetic life?
>>34993688
alright. maximum nub question, sorry.
What is the exact difference between a snatch and a power snatch?
I'm youtubing a few things but getting mixed results
>>34993703
>>34993703
>I'm giving you all these resources assuming you're actually trying to transition into full weightlifting proficiency
>mfw i have literally no idea what i'm doing
>>34993714
10-4
>i have like 1500 videos i need to watch tonight
>>34993729
wasn't planning on copying, but you're definitely right. I was more looking at general trends
>>34993729
You don't learn how to muscle snatch for long. It should legit be 4-5 reps of muscle snatch before you transition into the power snatch and then into an empty snatch, then weighted snatch
>>34993743
> dat owg superiority
Ur okay with all the faggots posting their gook women, and all those thirsty betas posting mattie rogers webms. They piss me off.
But I post rippetoe, an accredited oly lifting coach, and all u complain?
Why, because u want to join the rip hate train and fit in.
Ur a dickhead
>>34993764
Catch height, more or less.
I've had good success improving my turnover in the snatch with the queue "punch your hands up in the air", but my speed getting under the bar in the clean is still lacking.
What are some good clean technique queues, especially for the turnover?
>>34993764
> What is the exact difference between a snatch and a power snatch?
Really its the height at which u receive the bar
In a snatch you will receive at a very low position
In a power snatch (the weight is lighter and better for recovery whilst still training technique) is caught at a lower height.
>i have like 1500 videos i need to watch tonight
Look Rippetoe got me into lifting, he knows his shit
Not some anime weeabo fuck who post mattie rodger webms and can only total 80 kg
>>34993768
>You don't learn how to muscle snatch for long.
i can already tell you dont actually snatch, if you think the progression is that easy, or you're just trolling
>>34993755
yeah those, watch the vids i linked norse above, don't do it like he did in that vid you linked try to pause a bit at the bottom
do these for warmups and do it like how torokhtiy is doing them, not a lot of speed just trying to move correctly, you add speed as you go up in weight
he started adding regular speed at about 70% of what he hit that day in that video
>>34993774
Get more confident. Do heavier front squats. Do some paused front squats.
>>34993831
> i can already tell you dont actually snatch, if you think the progression is that easy, or you're just trolling
jej
watch the calstrength video
>>34993837
I front squat 315x3 pretty easily, struggle with 225 clean. Confidence might be a problem, but I feel my technique is pretty shit.
>>34993890
i go to calstrength, those are not taught there anymore since glenn left, i mean they still use the position names so lifters who are familiar with those videos dont get confused but it's different how they teach the lifts now
still doesn't happen after one training session, i've watched so many kids progress and i can tell you that you dont go in and learn how to powersnatch like you're trying to imply on that post
>>34993831
alright thanks. I have been slacking on back work too and that needs probably 2-3 exercises a week at least of pullups and rows too
>>34993774
"pull forever'
seriously, never stop pulling in the clean until you're catching the bar in rack position. That made mine so much more routine - chances are you're aborting your pull if your errors are the same as mine were
>>34993674
>so, i know this is where the mobility fucks me hard, but god damn overhead squats hurt my elbows like CRAZY.
Yeah, you have to lockout your elbows.
Also, do the overheads squats to full depth, with something light like a pvc pipe or broomstick.
>pls dont' hate bu
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQuDESKlmi8
The position ABOVE his knees is the hang
The position After that is the power.
He stopped midshin because hes using an empty bar, but thats basically from the floor if you have plates on it
>>34993774
muscle cleans/ more cleans
muscle cleans you do them the exact same way the msucle snatch read the yashablog in op
elbows up and then pull it into rack position then go down it, it feels comfy and wont hurt/crash on you if you do it properly

I wish /owg/ wasn't full of stringent morons with shitty lifts. Fucking Americans. I don't even like powerlifting that much but /plg/ is far more aware of it's own amateurishness and is more willing to accept it. They have a much better meme output too. You're too witless to even outmeme a rippetoe poster. At least try to emulate the (non-commie) best when they're off the platform. They meme pretty well in real life.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvb_Wa8EZt4
This is the worst general on /fit/, /sp/, or /asp/. Go to reddit (honestly I'm not memeing when I say that. It looks perfect for you) if you need someone banned because he doesn't fit your retarded idea of anime imageboard posting.

For all you guys having issues with the clean and snatch starting positions, check this article out.
http://www.catalystathletics.com/article/49/The-Olympic-Lift-Starting-Position-Snatch-Clean/
Well, hello everyone, I'm from Mexico, 18 and new to weightlifting.
I've been lifting for almost one year, did hypertrophy mostly. I'm 5'8 @64kg.
My lifts are 210 lbs squat, 240 DL and 120 bench. All 3x5.
In my actual gym (and all of the town) there isn't equipment for Olympic Lifts, the most close is Crossfit but the coaching it's not good, many friends do snatches with extremelly shitty technique and baby weights.
So I'm going to join to the box tomorrow and train all by myself from the base. I have been practicing the basic movement patterns and researching and lurking here and the sticky a lot.
This week I'm just going to practice lifts with bar, do squats, stretch and do a bit of bodybuilding stuff.
That's it, going to post regularly here and hope to receive some feedback.

I'm currently reading the catalyst article an anon linked a few posts up. My thing is that I physically cannot arch my back properly in the start position for a snatch. My hip flexibility is atrocious though so it's not like it's a big mystery why I can't though
>>34995471
read this >>34993374
tell me if you can't do it right now with nothing, or even find a stick, if you can't you need to work on mobility

How is this possible OLY Boi?
>>34995439
who are the big guys in owg
who are the strong guys in owg
is there a database for lifts here it's kinda sad tbqh because plg has one and it's very nice
>>34995489
I'm sorry man, I must be borderline retarded, because I can't figure out what it is you're saying I should be trying to do
Internally rotate my shoulders and lower down like I'm snatching?
>>34995562
did you watch the videos? watch the fucking video goddamn
>>34995375
it's such an incredible lift then his trainer runs over to pick him up like an infant who needs comforting
Currently loading the women's 53kg session. I have an all access pass to the warm up room, training hall, and all of the sessions.
>tfw making it
>>34995596
you take any pics with the lifters? p jelly desu senpai
>>34995596
u didnt make very much progress despite roiding, that's the opposite of making it to be honest blood relative
>>34995329
u god me ><

>>34995552
it's biased towards the heavier lifters in terms of raw numbers obviously but durkz, geordil, greenbike and bulklyfe have decent lifts, not sure of roid status across the general
there are also some anons who are strong, I think one guy has a 130kg snatch
Has anime made us more attracted to Japanese girls? They've been some of the most attractive so far. I'm not even a weeb, I only watched it when i was young but i cant help finding them cute.
>>34995526
cause i lack confidence under the bar.
squats are ez pz senpai

fuck i swear to god if i cant get in im gonna b so pissed at myself.
>>34995552
geordil
durkz
pas was strong for his weight but he fucked his hand cause angry
theres another guy who doesnt trip/name thats pretty strong
kuya is dece strong
commisar is aswell esp cause hes young (inb4 b&)
caladan has good insight and is dece strong
im reasonable for my weight/age
no we dont, we rly should tho
>>34995588
You're saying if I can't maintain an arched back while doing low hang snatches with nothing I have shit flexibility?
>>34995642
no i think many of them are rather ugly and often plain at best i prefer women of white color much more such as american lifter mattie rogers
>>34995657
yes, this ties into your start position problem as well, if you can maintain the arched back in low hang snatch then you can lower the bar all the way down from the hang and still maintain the back tightness then you just solved your problem. if you can't like i said then you have mobility issues
>>34995686
Thanks anon-kun
>>34995651
Did you forget lotus 200kg front squat and Smyth_Phil 145/170
>>34995750
lotus is plg thought, he just comes here so he gets more views on his yt
>>34995750
How comes Phil never comes here? I only ever seen him once and it was to post a 140 snatch
>>34995750
yeah smyth_phil is the
>theres another guy who doesnt trip/name thats pretty strong
is there any website where u can host like an editable word file?
cause i was thinking something like this for everyone can post in
http://pastebin.com/BjBwxgG3
>>34995777
no it would have to be more complex than that because i would shitedit the numbers ;^)
just copy the /plg/ website
>>34995865
ya idk how to do that sooooooooooooooo, someone else can :^)
>>34995875
agreed, I wouldnt trust you to make something like that desu senpai
>>34995882
tru
>>34995888
find the plg guy who made the plg website [:^)]
simple
>>34995660
i think the venezuelan nigress is attractive too, i like her spunk
I just checked for University Nationals and they raised all of the qualifying totals by 30kg
I can still qualify, but I wonder what gives
>>34996152
too many lifters
>>34995906
Guys, our website fuckin sucks, you don't want that.
>>34993920
Then you need to pull harder and more often.
>>34996089
isn't that chingiz?
>>34996152
the bar was way too low last time around, anyone lifting for 6 months could make it in
>>34996210
>chingiz?
chingiz dont take 230, because he's not some fagget armenian, he go straight to 240
>>34996210
file name
>>34996184
At some point don't you want more lifters to drum up attendance so interest in the sport rises?
I mean look at Collegiate Nationals for /plg/, they're even adding a raw division this year
Also that feel when you hit your opener and it feels like 80% because you changed your snatch grip slightly
>>34996225
>>34996226
yeah I was being facetious, they look identical
>>34993289
Hey bud.
Few pointers
1. Get tight
2. Slow it down until your reach the hips! The bar doesn't need to go a million miles an hour from the ground, try and create tension and hit the correct positions
3. Hip starting position was better, need to keep them lower, lead with your chest (think big chest)
4. Stay over the bar more, this will tie in with the 3rd point (Big chest again)
5.Don't bend your arms until after contact
6. Try and move the feet apart and catch deeper. A good thing to drill is stand straight up with your feet in the pull position and then move your feet out quickly to the catch position and land in a quarter squat.
Good luck mate.
>>34993674
If you're elbows hurt it's more than likely because you're not generating good shoulder position (you're not, need to stretch more obvs) which is generating a lot of torque on the elbow. It'll get easier the more you do it and your body wont freak out so much.
>>34996229
There's a fine line. Too many lifters will fuck the whole thing up - either because the qualifying total is too damn low and you have a bunch of idiots competing with no real investment in the sport, or simply because you have so many people involved that it murderises the scheduling and makes the whole event a terrible grind for everyone involved.
Shit, I could've taken a run at last years qualifying total and I'm not even actively training the oly lifts. That's fine for smaller meets (you do, after all, need to give new talent a chance to compete properly) but its a terrible idea for a big comp.

Just you wait BB

>commisar is aswell esp cause hes young (inb4 b&)
ayy never thought i'd be on that list
>>34995750
Ye bulklyfe doesn't post enough
What should be the weight requirements for tripping
Also can we talk about how becoming a referee for USAW is a joke
>>34993289
jesus fuck, youve got a lot of equipment for some horrific form, you need a pvc pipe and a lot of practice
>>34993674
fuck im crying
>>34996492
If you've got it already, may as well use it.
>>34995403
are you me?
ive been lifting 2.5months and am at 60/80 @66kg
my bs is only 100 and i front squat 80 i think im the same age as you nomsayin
>>34996536
>nomsayin
stfu dont try to copy me you don't even no how to use it properly just try to meme it up fuck u
>>34996561
fuck off retard
>>34996572
callin me a retarded with your 60 snatch lmao
Hey owg
I've got five days of nothing coming up that I plan some good progress in. 150 front squat, 170 back squat with bar in garage(should be easy just not used to new bar), 105 snatch(not so confident) and 135 clean and jerk.
My clean tech is garbage, snatch is even worse. Stability in the split is poor but i'm pretty happy with my jerk.
>>34996582
What's wrong with your clean tech?
Try some jerk drops for that overhead stability
>>34996582
hold on guy let me just plan pull out my 5 day progress plan
hmmm, in the next 5 day im gonna snatch 150 since that's close to my pr i only snatch 60 btw but i plan on snatch 150 sincei havnogthing come up 5 days, i cj maybe 201? i can clean and jerk 83 but since i have 5 days off 201 should be easy
gonna back 290 if i feel good should be easy since i recent bs 128
what do you guys think im not really happy but im sure i am
>>34996579
thats almost body weight snatch after 2.5months?
>>34996617
60 snatch is baby weight regardless of bw unless you're ultra manlet then you might as well kill yourself since nothing your will ever do will amount to anything
it's like saying you can squat the bar with proper form after 2,5 months yay good for u!!
>>34996607
Biggest flaw is arm bend. There is a lot wrong with it.
>>34996613
I dont really understand what you mean.
But the past two weeks i've done lots of work and am paying my fatigue debt now. I should be stronger. On top of that my strength level is fine I just need to demonstrate the strength in the classics.
>>34996613
Those five days are where I have nothing to do so I can train as much as i want.
>>34996638
so i can hit those numbers if i tried i have 5 days of
btw they are kilogams not lobs
>>34996630
no its not i can almost snatch bw within 2.5 months without a coach or even lifting shoes just socks. how long you been lifting what weight and how much you lift?
>>34996631
What are your lifts now?
If I was you I would just plan a max out on day five, first day do light/med powers + squats
Day 2 do medium full classics + pulls (cln)
Day 3 light classics + squats and pulls (Sn)
Day 4 off
Day 5 max out
Don't go overboard on the squats or pulls, just keep strength in the legs and the pulls feeling smooth.
Planning to make a lot of progress in 5 days is garbage without weeks of structure leading upto it though.
Holy shit, the banter in this thread. Cant we just get along?
>>34996662
You might be better swapping day 1 and two around actually.
>>34996655
>how long you been lifting what weight and how much you lift?
are you the guy who's been asking this in every goddamn thread lol
WHO ARE YOUUU HOW MUCH DO YOU LIFT AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>34996655
Big deal. I know a guy who power-snatched 90kg (bw) his second session doing weightlifting. Was pretty crazy to watch.
>>34996683
go on what are your stats?
>>34996646
Just because you're a weak faggot who cant progress doesnt mean i am
>>34996694
but i am stronger than u not as retard as u thou ;(
>>34996689
110/150 @85. 18 months weightlifting
>>34996662
Snatch 97, clean and jerk 125(I know it's a large jump), paused 140 front squat, 170 back squat(160 paused). Close attempts at both 175 and 180 for back squat.
My programming basically looks like this:
AM-clean and jerk tech and front squat single with 85% OR snatch tech and back squat single at 85%(switch daily)
PM- clean and jerk max+backoff(how I go about this varies on what I need) and front squat max+backoff OR snatch max+backoff and back squat max plus backoff
Normally wednesday and sunday would be light. Also lately i've been doing technique oriented pulls in the AM.
I hope no one gets too angry.
>>34996700
mean
>>34996761
Your best chance at getting increases like that is probs just to deload and treat day 5 as a comp. You're not gonna gain much strength or technique in five days time.
The only thing you can hope is that the technique and strength is there and that freshening up will put your body in the right place to hit them.
That's why I said that 5 days wont give you much in the way of an increase unless the weeks/months before has been built up and structured towards hitting those numbers at the end of the five days.
Goodluck though man. I hope you hit what you want :) Big Pb's feel awesome.
>>34996706
shite
>>34996774
>The only thing you can hope is that the technique and strength is there and that freshening up will put your body in the right place to hit them.
This is the plan. I definitely have the strength but technique i'm not so sure.
>>34994662
Is this a joke or do others also do this? I just pop 400mg caff 1g glutamine.
>>34996787
I know that feeling man. Especially on snatches. I'm this guy
>>34996706
I should have able to snatch 120kg but technique isn't there yet.
There's a chance you could hit the numbers, I'd start really focusing on the day as a big day, try and get yourself in the right spot mentally. Don't treat it as another training session. If you don't you just have to take a step back to develop and build up again.
>>34996761
this is the homegym + NEET dream
>>34996797
how, i had like 100mg at lunch an had trouble sleeping
>>34996939
I lift from 11-13 and go to bed around 3 so Im fine.
>>34997038
Holy shit what time do you get up in the morning?
how strong should i be before i start oly
>>34998006
preferably untrained desu, then you wont have any shitty patterns that need to be ripped out
some fresh /blog/
>be me
>start lifting
>lose motivation
>quit for 2 years
>find oly
>start training again
>coach wants to test max squat and deadlift to test my strength
>havent lifted weights for 2 years, max squat was 130kg and deadlift was 168kg
>test them
>squat 105kg
>deadlift somehow 180kg
how is it possible that my deadlift increased after having not touched a weight for 2 years, the only thing I did and this was only in the last 4 months were some bodyweight exercises
What's happening with Bulgaria?
