>>35047499
which imposter are you two?
im the second imposter, but im under my fourth guise
>>35047506
I'm the one who created the initial narrative about lydia
>>35047506
im the real srwg
>>35047488
are those adistars? Look kinda strange
great save though, I remember apti saying that his jerks never go below half squat - here they did
>>35047517
yeah. they just have tape over two of the three stripes
>>35047517
yeah i saw it myself with my own eyes
some of his sweat flew off mid jerk and i caught it in on my face
it was beautiful
>>35047517
cause that was a real max effort lift, after that clean
>>35047532
damn apti must be a sweating a lot since srwg was watching like 6 rows from the stage
>mfw /owg/ is now /srwg/
>>35047541
Yeah, that isnt me. Note for you to remember, im on mobile so it takes me at least 5 minutes to reply
>>35047560
>tfw every /owg/ poster namefags as srwg so we recognize each other on other threads and boards
>>35047541
Dont believe >>35047561
Tip for you: I wouldnt continue posting by claiming to be the real one if there were so many people doing the same. So im the real srwg

Thoughts on gymnastics? Is it the most complex event in the olympics?
>>35047590
This is olympic weightlifting, we dont give a fuck about gymnastics
>>35047590
I really like gymnasts, especially the males
>>35047599
But the snatch is like the middle between gymnastics and weightlifting.
>>35047590
are you swrg?
>>35047590
Gymnastics is an awesome way to build GPP in kids for weightlifting
Lots of coaches like getting kids from Gymnastics schools to convert to weightlifting because they make amazing weightlifters
Gonna just walk around the venue and get something to eat until this imposter shit dies down
>>35047628
>GPP
what?
Im heading back to my room. Ill set up a trip later
>>35047649
same
>>35047517
He frequently power jerks to parallel in comp
>>35047649
Alright sounds good
I have Adidas powerlifts and the bottom layer of the heel and toe are starting to come apart. Should I try and pick up some Romaleo's tonight/tomorrow from dick's sporting goods for $100? Or should I just superglue the toe/heel.
>>35047623
No it isn't. It's just weightlifting. Literally by definition.
>>35047663
Why can't you make this decision yourself jeez m8 if you like your shoes glue them if you want some new ones buy them fuck me
>>35047654
>>35047660
Yeah just ignore every swrg until then except the one that has a timestamp and proof
>>35047683
Is it worth paying $100 for Romaleo's or are there going to be similar deals in the near future
>>35047712
i bought romaleos 3 years ago and they look and feel exactly the same as the day i bought them
>>35047712
If only you were here, the Nike booth has some going for $49, sizes 12+ though

Hi
>>35047776
sup bro
guise you are strong pls help routine for beginner/intermediate squats.
100kg bs, 50kg fs for 5
Is texas method the best I can do?
I'd really like to focus more on my front squat too.
Recommended intensity and % for TM?
>>35047815
Carry on LP 5x5 but front squat middle day
When you stall at 5x5 do 3x5, then 5x3, then 3x3, then rinse and repeat or do tm
>>35047815
ur fucking weak just squat
>>35047879
3x3 FS on middle day or 5x5?
>>35047897
I know, I don't know why. I've been lifting for a year and I get enough cals, I weigh like 70kg.
>>35047776
living the life?
>instant death
man i love this commentator who sounds like a south park character
>>35048013
10/10 would watch Chinese bomb again
ALLAHU AKBAAAAAAAAAR
what happened to fleming ?
>>35048115
Fractured kneecap
>>35048130
hahahahaha what a faggot
>>35047658
yeah I just remember an interview where he mentioned how his lifts are different to some other power/squat jerkers
it's funny how much more stable this one is than the full ATG squat jerk
>>35048115
broke his dick on last snatch, then bit his tongue off while clean and jerk
was p disgusting to watch desu
>>35048160
i guess cause he actually puts the brakes on before he even goes down to parallel so if he goes down to a full squat he has full tension, compared to lu/tian where it looks like their main focus is getting under it, even when they should be strong enough to put the brakes on it with their massive squats
>>35048181
yeah I think normally they do put the brakes on, but this time there was no focus. Looked like they were just phoning it in
>>35048130
really? link?
>>35047488
watch the loaders reactions
this is what you guys are missing out on by being autism lifting alone
>>35048106
needs to be updated with Long Qingquan and Liu Hao. this was a coordinated bombing
>>35048106
AHAHHAA YESSSSSS
>>35048208
one of them half ass clapped and then they ran up to do their job? do you think they were gonna hoist him up in the air or something
>>35047992
5x5 if you can handle it
5x3 is good. 3x3 is decent too. Just make progress
>>35048233
Thanks man. I don't know why I'm so weak, I started skelly and have been gaining weight but still so weak.
>>35048232
>do you think they were gonna hoist him up in the air or something
he calls others autistic
but he is autistic himself :^o
lu going to hit 211kg clean and jerk and 178kg snatch in Rio
>>35048340
Lu's wife is getting creampied by Liao at this very moment. She needs a real man, not some bombing pussy that shows no heart and doesn't even fight for a jerk. He's done
>>35048354
it's okay mate, Tian and Lu still have each other.
They are the super bomber bros
>>35048294
It'll happen mate. Judge yourself vs yourself not you vs everyone else especially here where everyone snatches 100kg in 3 months and squats 180kg the first day in the gym
>>35048376
Clones i tell you
>>35048408
>. Judge yourself vs yourself not you vs everyone
yeah cuz they giv eyou medals for breaking your own prs ;^)
>>35048462
Gotta start somewhere mate. I'm not in a position to compete for medals yet but I'm still entering comp, and the next one I'll try to beat that, and so on until I'm fighting for medals
That's the theory anyway :^)
>>35048492
unless you plan to do a couple 21 day cycles a year, you aint going anywhere
>>35048507
Just because your lifts are shit and you don't know how to train doesn't mean everyone else is as inept as you.
>>35048581
yeah mate, you'll get that olympic gold natty!
>>35048639
We're not talking about me; we're talking about how your life is so pathetic you feel the need to tear down anonymous beginner lifters ton the internet--lifters that admit to no greater aspirations than personal improvement--because you feel inadequate in comparison.
>>35048680
>tear down
but anabolism is the process of building, anon
Watching torokhtiy doing light snatch work and he really seems to pummel the bar with pelvic bone, it's strange.
Also is there lifting today?
>>35048910
mens 94a later tonight, cant wait
>>35048925
Already happened
Highlights of 94A? Misses and record attempts atnd such, etc
>>35049001
china lifter bombed for the 4th time :)
>>35049001
They tried to break ilyas record but missed senpai
>>35049001
lots of bombings from a lot of lifters. hammies blowing up
>>35048910
he's bringing the bar in so hard with lats like a very short sweep right after it passes the knees, that's why it happens, if you time it right it doesnt hurt at all, watch the tutorial he made about this
i don't do it though i just pull straight
when you use eleiko's the sound is very loud
>>35049090
oh that makes sense. I pull straight too, but recently I've noticed that I'm jumping back a tiny bit, possibly overpulling. I tried to follow his tutorial but I couldn't do it painlessly so I stopped.
>>35048910
>torokhtiy
Is he going to compete in Houston or is he saving up for Rio?
>>35049105
you don't jump back when you overpull, you jump back when you change the torso angle too early, this happens on my max snatches, you need to do more snatch deadlifts without changing the back angle and learn how to push with the legs
my cleans i've eliminated the jumping back but it still happens a tiny bit on snatches idk why
>>35049115
he said he's done competing lad, not on the internet but to people he's met at the seminars
>>35048507
Implying I need a cycle to be competitive locally
>>35048639
Implying the only competition is the Olympics
>>35048680
I like u
>>35049115
not sure. He's definitely in texas though
>>35049120
yeah I don't do it on cleans either, only snatch. I don't think it's really a big problem. My snatch has really improved in consistency which I'm happy about, but I'll work in more sn grip deads to cover my bases
>>35049120
That isnt the only reason some people just back because they extend backwards despite torso angle
Jumping back ain't a huge problem is it? I used to jump forward alot, thankfully I've all but eradicated it
>>35049138
>Implying I need a cycle to be competitive locally
that was not the implication
implication stood for world events only
>>35049161
>Jumping back ain't a huge problem is it?
it's not if you can catch your snatches, i always lose mine forward even though i've got plenty of height on it, i dont think i've failed a snatch because of lack of pull i'm just always behind it
>>35049130
What, you serious? I wanted to see him hopelessly defend his Olympic title at Rio. Ah well, that sucks if it's true.
Owg shall I shave my stomach hair or leave it
>>35049207
he's not that weak, he was doing his studies and not training very much before london is what he said
he told lapikov he had done snatch push press 250 + ohs you can see lapikov mention it in his channel
>>35049223
shave
>>35049226
Oh right. So did he mention why he is not competing anymore?
>>35049254
he just said he's done, he's not very talkative pretty disappointing desu
>>35049290
he lifts like a crab, super wide stance on everything and minimal knee travel. If I tried to squat like that my hips would blow up
>>35049305
If you have a history of knee problems shouldn't that be exactly how you should lift?
>>35049466
FUck no lmao
maximum sheer forces on the power jerk
>>35049485
I'm talking wide stance/catch. It takes pressure off the knees
>>35048160
Agree, torokhtiy looks stable as fuck in his jerks too
>>35049563
secret russian training technique ;)
>>35049563
does ankle supination prevent your knees from rotating inwards while squatting
>>35049655
If anything I find it easier to keep my knees pushed out while having feet straight forward.

You'll be fine unless you have unusually high concentrations of serum aromatase, if that was the case I'd doubt you'd be here
>>35049466
yes. But I have no power generation and I haven't managed to find any resources that would help me adapt to this stance (form cues, exercises, etc.). A lot of other lifters with long femurs find that this is the case so I'll stick to what I know and just be more careful with squat volume and trying to avoid getting crashed with weight
>>35049870
yes* referring to the clean and squat stance, I should say
>>35049864
Id rather not get gyno or depression/estrogenic rises. Fuck it ill just stick to the.

hey guys can someone please critique my form. i've been lifting for 10 years now. I'm 17 years old and 77kg bw.
pls rate thx
>>35049918
>gyno

I'd say that would last a week at the most.
goin to gym at like 7am tomo for last max b4 ON juniors then work from 10am-9pm.

I know its during work/after training but still
whatever gets you through the day my man
>>35050188
>>talk to therapist about it
grow the fuck up, seriously why do you need to be stressed about working jesus
wahhh i'm actually an adult now i have to work for food how sad :***(((((
>>35050230
I think it may be the combination of training and the 11 hour shifts. Idk, benzos are pretty dangerous so I'm averse to them, but you never really know how stressed another person can be until you sit in their shoes
>>35050230
he feels the need to use a tripcode on an anonymous board so he probably has some issues. needs that special attention etc
>>35047488
Last time someone mentioned benching may cause stiff shoulders that may affect your Jerk. Is there any other exercises that may negatively affect my weightlifting progression?
>>35050347
deadlifts and overshoulderjoint presses
>>35050312
You have severe anxiety?
>>35050347
bicep curl and bench press

77, my bad senpai
Does anyone do atg pin front squats? Someone at my gym got injured doing them the other day but swears by them as heavy clean recovery tools
>>35050620
he got injured doing a bottom up front squat? how
>>35050628
didn't set up tightly when he started squatting and strained his lumbar
>>35050642
how strong was he anyway?
i never have problem standing up my cleans unless it badly crashes on me
>>35050680
moderately, his max clean is 120 and max fs was 150. He'd just get crashed by the clean every time and that's how he would fail anything heavy, didn't know how to stand up with the weight if he lost lumbar tension
>>35050516
>>35050469
b-but the chinese hab big bicep and chest ;((((. Another question is should i squat heavy on my off days? and sorry for asking but what is over shoulder joint presses? does that mean any pressing movement is no bueno?
>>35050750
Deadlifts are easily replaced with snatch and clean pulls. I dont really know how to answer this question.
>>35050694
>crashed by cleans every time
Doing dead stop fronts is a shitty way to fix that though
120 clean 150 fs + crashing = shitty timing on cleans, divebombing most likely.
>>35050778
usually on my offday i like to do 4 to 5 exercise for 4 sets. on my training days i do my typical weightlifting stuff i.e snatch, clean & jerk and pull variations. i used to just do shit ton of bench variations but now that i learned their bad for jerks i want to replace them with other upper body exercises and im curious what do you guys do for upper body?
>>35050694
meh, he should do paused and slow going down fsquats, safer and teaches you proper tension to control the weight i like those better
getting better at cleaning would help the most though
>didn't know how to stand up with the weight if he lost lumbar tension
i dont get why people would try standing those up if not on comp
>>35050805
I dont really do anything anymore. The best upper body exercise to transfer over to classics would probably be push press.
Your training sounds a little odd but I'm an advocate of squatting as much as possible.
>>35050835
yeah this listen to this guy who has less than a year into the sport
im sure he knows a lot
>>35050805
Danny has us press pretty rarely DESU. In the last 4 week cycle we did a push press 3rm, a strict press 2rm, and some triples at 70% of the strict press 2rm
Honestly unless you have a super shitty weak upper body you shouldn't have too much trouble with jerks. It's mostly legs and timing.
>>35050783
yes I thought so too, but that's what he wanted to do. I was just curious about them as a training tool
>>35050811
I agree, he should just improve his form on cleans. But I'd never thought of pin squats from atg before
>>35047488
>tfw I need a weightlifting coach
>tfw there's none where I live
>>35050850
hey man that's mean
>>35050878
where do you live?
>>35050805
Don't do much anymore. not when I've got a comp coming up anyway, getting overly tight from pressing and rows fucks my positions.
If I've just done a comp and am doing volume work I'll do a bit of pressing, rows and chins until 6-8 weeks out.
>>35050884
Quebec city, the eastern part. The only coaches are in the western part and it would take an hour and a half to get there.
There are gyms nearby I can go to but no coaches and I've made the mistake of going in on my own before, I got injured.
My only hope would be to move to Montreal.
>>35050620
I still haven't experienced being stuck by a clean ever. Maybe if I can get under 170 I'll be stuck.
>>35050909
And I'm saying montreal and not the western part because that gym is a crossfit gym.
>>35050910
I have once, 95% at the end of a training session when I hit 2 pr snatches. Wasn't too bothered about it
>>35049563
Is that scooby?
>>35051004
the fuck? that's klokov. He's pretty much the exact opposite of scooby
>>35051032
They both have all natty physiques and cool hats

thanks for the answers guys. No way im competing with my shit lifts. im just looking to do some upper body stuff on the weekends.
I'm going back to workout tomorrow, haven't decided what I want to do yet.
Does anyone remember reading some literature that talks about how the chinese lifters go up to like 95% the week of a meet?

Have you tried putting more weight on the bar?
Seriously though. Have you ever just attempted 155/160 just to see if you could get under it?
>>35051506
stability looked a little wiggly but your pull and catch were nice, no real errors
>>35051506
clean up your garage
>>35051506
your garage looks like garbage
>>35051506
why are you lifting in a prison cell
>>35051506
your form looks really nice
but im no pro so if you fuck yourself up its not my fault
mai boi
>>35051506
looks good, looks like you could be a bit tighter in the pull and catch tho
>>35047560
So tripfag desease came to owg from plg?
why do i bother with this shit sport
just kill me
can i get form checks?I have no coach
(pls no bully i already know i'm weak, i'm just focusing on form)

>>35052684
>>35052687
Looks not bad
I'm no expert but my coach had us not do dynamic start, set back position and pull from there, push with legs and keep back angle consistent I think the only thing I can see is it looks abit loopy round knees because of your start
I'm sure someone with more knowledge will chime in
>>35052684
looks like you're starting way behind the bar
>>35050511
not severe (imo, but then again a lot more compared to avg person) but enough that it makes some things in life harder
>>35052816
i usually set the bar midfoot, do you have a cue to help me?
(maybe you get this impression because i have short torso)
>>35049563
> one little mistake
> miss the plate
> hits the foot
> aaaaaaarrrgh
>>35052897
not so much a problem with your bar position but you look like you're setting up for a deadlift by being so far back instead of an oly set up and having your shoulders over the bar

No it doesnt sound too bad.
I had the same problem a few months ago. Lasted for a couple weeks, Just took a week off of squatting, took a bunch of fish oil, and never had the problem again
>>35054846
Okay, thanks a lot man. Did smolov with a total of 3 rest days, probably why...

>>35054730
>confirmed knee problems when youre 40
>>35051533
Not really no.... I've failed 150 once because my elbows dropped and the bar slid down but I think that's a pretty easy to fix... Just get my elbow around quicker (I was also standing up pretty quick with it even though the weight was on my hands) .... Ive only ever tried it once and never more because I can't jerk it yet.

If you train weightlifting seriously, you WILL have knee pain. You sound like a pussy
>>35054730
might be osgood schlatters meme disease
it goes away, dont squat if it hurts a lot, squat if it doesnt to keep the blood flowing, generally mine goes away when my knees are fully warmed up and starts back up when they get cold now it's totally gone for some reason even when i squat more days/lift more days idk

Why doesn't this fat fuck lose some goddamn weight? How can he even lift like that?
>>35055254

>>35055185
Pussy lol
>>35054408
No it doesn't, shut up.
>>35054388
You, too.
>>35054381
If you have difficulty in the squat after pulling, squat first. There's no rule but a rule of thumb, and some people ain't got no thumbs, which makes hook-gripping impossible, so those people probably aren't weightlifters.

It's sad to see you here. I'm sad. I wish it didn't have to end like this.
Can you advice me on lower back pain? I injured my lower back ages and ain't really letting it heal because I keep squatting. My squats improving but the repetitiveness is causing me problems.
I thought it was gone until I fucked it up yesterday.
It's not terrible but I'm sad, the same sadness as the sadness gained from you leaving me.
While I'm here I may as well tell you that people like Sean aren't uncommon and there is actually a way to get rid of them permanent.

I do most of the motions before my workouts, and throw in some light band pull aparts, front raises, and shoulder dislocates. Then I do my bar warm-up, which varies by the day.
>tfw finally getting stronger
Squat increased to 167.5, OHP to 72.5, c&j 110, snatch 90.. After recovering for some time and hitting old PR-s, I finally started growing. :')
Anyway, is it even worth doing strict press? Or should I completely switch to push press and thrusters?
desu, I see push press more adequate anyway since it's "faster" (dynamic) lift than ohp
All I do is loaded front rack stretches, and a bunch of overhead squars
>>35055699
help me with ohp, been at the same weight forever. how to increase?
>inb4 why do ohp
because I want a strong overhead press along the classics, I dont want to be all legs and back
>>35055783
I took my OHP from 70kg to 90kg at about 80kg bodyweight a year or two ago mostly by 1/week heavy singles. For me the hard part of the press was always shoulders to eye level, so 6-8 singles across at a heavy weight worked.
I stopped OHP when I started weightlifting because the more pressing I did, the more I pressed out jerks. I've been doing it recently though, now that I've more or less got the jerk mechanics down.
>>35055859
70-90kg took about 5 or 6 months I think, doing this. I'd just go for a PR single if I felt good.
>>35055859
did you do any volume pressing too?
Hit 75kg snatch from floor for first time tonight
Tried 80 4x (coach said it was so close so go a final time) and missed it. Frustrating as that would be about bodyweight.
First comp this weekend and while my numbers are very shit if I have the opportunity to try it again there it'd be cool
How's your training been chaps?
>>35055984
throw it over your head
>>35055997
I got it over head atleast twice I just dropped it idk why felt like a mental thing I always do this on pr's especially round numbers retarded as that is
>>35055980
Not really. I was benching twice a week at the time, so that was my tricep volume I suppose.
>>35056026
dropped it how?
>>35056052
I dunno, just sortve flopped it forward. Everyone said it looked like I made it. I think it's a lack of conviction in getting under. Not committing enough when the weight is an unknown.
>>35056065
when you lost all of your snatches, were they all forward?
>>35055984
how long have you been lifting?
>tfw hit 110kg snatch at 75kg bw after 3 months
