if I squat 125kg and deadlift 180kg, at what weight should I clean pull?
I need a reference senpaitachi
>>35168495
Whatever weight you can complete the rep scheme your program demands with good form...
For sets of five i normally go 110% of my CJ. Your deadlift has nothing to do with your clean pulls.
>>35168468
>tfw you will never have oly friends to go to normie gyms with and amaze everyone with your strength.
>>35168588
the thing is im still new and focusing on technique with light weights, but I already got the pull variation tech down so I want to go heavy on that
>>35168772
Caught a normie mirin' my poverty snatch singles (65kg) the other day.
Felt bittersweet, i know my lifts are shit but still got a boost from his mire.
how do I achieve those lateral triceps like mohamed ehabs
>>35168996
Happened to me in gym one of the cardio bunnies everyone spaghettis about came over and said I was squatting loads of weight and I literally almost said 'y-you too'
>>35168996
God I love that, two normies were mirin my jerk the other day and it's only 80kg
One said "whoa"
how tall is Mattie? need to know for a school project.
God damn that looks like it feels good.

10KG PRON SNATCH LADS
figured out what i was doing wrong in the pull and snatched 90kg, old pr was 80kg i'm so fucking happy
>>35168495
Bruh you need to work on your quads with that large of a discrepancy
Also don't exceed 110% of clean for clean pulls until you really get the mechanics down
>>35168588
>Your deadlift has nothing to do with your clean pulls.
yeah the musculature involved is very different
I can squat 85kg but almost killed myself trying to bench 47.5kg, should I kill myself? 73kg male
>>35170076
Good job man! Weight?
>>35168495
You need to squat more, there's a huge disparity between your clean and deadlift. My max back squat is 130kg and I deadlift 150kg, clean pull with good form is probably around 115kg.
>>35170208
80 kg.
i've been stuck on 80kg max snatch for like 4 months, i did a shitton of muscle snatches today and after like 3 hours i tried to pull without a rebend and it felt really natural. did 85 and 90 first try, tried 93 but i snashed the bar on my head and stopped.
>>35170127
The mechanics are.
>>35168468
>you will never have a latino manlet minion massaging you jumping on your body
no homo
>>35170129
I can bench 70kg and can only squat 65kg, i'd much rather be @ your stats, you can bench 60+ in ~1-2 month easily if you eat plenty
>>35170129
No
Train more

That's what you should do.

The pull is very different, but a lot of the required musculature is similar.

Do Olympic lifters do bodybuilding work for their lower body or does that sort of just come about from all the squats? I have some damn weak and small quads and just wanna smash them for a month or two but I'm not sure if that will just happen as long as I'm training for Olympic Lifting?

Trying to keep the bar closer on snatches. What complex would help? Sn deadlift + snatch at ~80% then maybe some heavier singles at 85% after that to make sure the tech is good?
Also what cue do you guys use in descending in the squat? Is it bad to cue knees out? That's the only way I can fit my hips between my legs
>>35174060
muscle snatches read the blog post about it in OP
>>35174082
I already do those. In fact those are what has caused me to worry that I am not keeping the bar close enough, because now in my regular snatches I never make contact with the bar unless I'm doing 85%+
>>35174093
set your back tight, engage the lats by pulling the chest up
try low hang snatch like torokhtiy does them, set the back before you lower the bar and maintain it or try the klokov method
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGj5mXCpy6w
>>35174156
oh these definitely help, thanks brah
any tips on squatting re: my post?
>>35174178
knees out hips out like you would for power jerk or anything really
pent made a post about this a few months ago, everyone teaches it this way except americans
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BM6Azbs6sZE
watch aukhadov power snatch
>>35174178
Not him, but for me, squatting solves itself if I just keep a tight core, and my hips "engaged".
If I start worrying about knees and shit, it just becomes a mess. If I "pull my ribcage down", keep my shoulders retracted, and my lats enganged, the rest just comes naturally, as long as I can also keep my hips and glutes at least somewhat active.
>>35174211
thanks, I'll look through the archives for his post
>>35174213
yeah that's kind of what happened, I started worrying about stuff and now I can't remember what I'm doing anymore
>>35174060
Why not a whole lot of snatch pull (like torikhtiy) or paused snatch or hang snatch
>>35174211
are you american
>>35174213
D e s u lad I agree, that video in the playlist about squatting was revolutionary for me, I just focus on staying tight and keeping my chest up, the rest seems to sort itself out for me
>>35174241
That was way back I don't think an archive of it exists anymore
Just watch the torokhtiy backs squat vid
>>35174269

I had the exact same type except from the Queensland association. Were fine to lift in, had them for a year before I got nike's. Didn't really degrade or anything in that time.
Only problem was that I had to get the strap shortened cause it caught under my foot a few times, that was only about $10 though.

>>35175772
thanks. link is power cleans at ~60kg. DL is currently 115 for reps (calculated 130 max)
As far as I can tell:
>feet are okay, I have a slight jump back but I don't think anyone lands perfectly in the same spot
>grip needs to be wider to make room for my knees; i can tell when I get tired and form falls off because my knees will buckle in
>arms aren't locked out until the rack, and I'm assisting the bar up/me under with my arms at the second pull
>>35176252
not a great perspective but looked pretty decent from what I could see. Your shoes seem to be making you unsteady though

try not do widen your legs so much when you catch. i would check out glenn pendlays clean and snatch tutorials for some basic form tips, but basically when you jump you want to just shoot your feet forward and catch in the squat. also dont bend your arms until youre trying to catch it. you do it right before you get knee lockout.
What ankle conditioning would you recommend for a tumbler? How does this look?
1.weighted ankle stretch
2.single leg calf raises
3.shin raises

>45 degrees behind you,
he's doing power cleans, do you film yourself from behind when snatching?
because that's retarded as fuck
you want to see how the bar is moving in relation to yourself. filming from behind does not capture that
>>35177811
45 degrees is behind + to one side. 4:30, if you like analogies.
>>35177842
you said 45 degrees behind you
you didnt say 45 degrees from yourself, you're just confusing people

What do you guys do for shoulder health my shit has been hurting for a whIle. Especially the top front and the back of it
>>35178067
broomstick dislocations, face pulls, and upper body mobility (specifically triceps, t-spine, and chest) made my shoulder issues go away. Some people also do Lu raises
>>35178067

i've got a torn labrum btw

>>35178100
you looking at surgical options? Sucks man, I have a minor tear but strengthened the joint enough that I never notice anymore and maybe it'll eventually go away completely.
My physio had me do a fucktonne of rows too, helped really stabilize the shoulders
>>35178067
i like to do turkish getups, dislocations, and band pull aparts, plus lots and lots of stretching and rolling
>>35178128
if it doesnt get better by next year. i will
right now it only actually hurts after training or when i neglect to do those things everyday, it's fine when i dont lift at all that's why i'm thinking i might not need surgery
>>35178141
I was the same, although for me it took 3 months to be able to use the arm and 9 months to press pain free. Now I'm glad I never got surgery.
>>35170129

If you are short then you will gain strength quick, if you are tall time to bulk and you will gain strength and muscle over the months

Well fuck lads, dumped anon here post coitus with Tinderella. What the fuck am I even doing with my life right now? Snatch technique work, cleans and squats tomorrow, I already can't wait. I wonder if she's thinking of me, probably not.
>>35180027
She's not the one. Just try to occupy yourself with other shit. Do stuff that really takes your focus away.
I've had what is almost certainly knee tendinitis for about four months now, and thought it would get better if i just did no squats/cleans, but deadlifts and good mornings attempting to maintain lower body strength, but im pretty sure that the reason it hasnt improved is because i didnt cut out lower body work all together.
anyone have experience with long term knee tendinitis (tendinosis)? i think by not saying screw it and resting totally for a long period is whats caused me to have it for so long (basically my stupidity), but now resting it isnt going to be sufficient to heal it, since after a certain number of attempts to heal the damage are interrupted, your body 'gives up' on healing it.
any tips, pointers or personal stories would be amazing, and i would massively appreciate it; have a sasha('s m8) webm for anything you can give

>>35178128
Is it actually possible for it to go away completely?
>>35178067
If there's pain, you need to get checked by a doctor and get some physical therapy to heal it up. Shoulder injuries are very fickle and take a long time to heal even with physical therapy.
If it's just soreness and tightness, do the stretches mentioned in other pots before you train.
>>35181129
so i should stay more upright?
>>35180986
I am admiring your mobility
>>35181169
Ok thank you
>>35181563
cmon, i dont have this shit of flexibility. i was much worse 2/3 months ago.
at least i can touch my toes now
>>35181129
His hips are fine. He has a dynamic start so they are obviously going to 'rise faster' initially as they move into the actual start of the pull.
If you don't actually have anything to offer other than blanket critiques that may or may not apply to the case, don't say anything.
>>35180986
You're achieving the bar height needed to get under the bar, you're just not doing it. Whether it's a lack of confidence, mobility, or stability, or a combination, hard to say. Drop snatches, OHS, and pratazkhas are the usual prescription. Your 'pull under' is noticeably sluggish, so snatches from the hang and blocks might also help get you quicker into the catch.
>>35181693
His hips still rise after the pulls started which is what that guy was pointing out, the dynamic start is irrelevant stop trying to sound like a fucking know it all
>>35180986
miron gyno desu senpaitachi
>>35181720
Does it affect his back angle? His balance? Doesn't look like it.
'Hips rising too fast' is a generic non-issue that every novice seems to feel he's qualified to diagnose. It tells the athlete nothing.
>>35181369
you know, I'm not sure. I still get occasional tightness and pain, but it's only when my upper body is really tight and I'm putting pressure on the joint. Mobility makes it go away
>>35181867
Yes to both, whh do you think he missed it despite pulling it high? Bar gets away from him, has to cannon it in and out of hips, misses forward.
You're acting like you're some guru criticising novices etc yet you yourself can't even diagnose the issue, you yourself gave some fucking generalised answers too so don't act like a dickheada m8 we're all here to learn and help
>>35181920
Wrong. He's not chasing the bar, it's staying in proximity to his body, he's staying balanced over his feet, he's just slow under the bar and seems unable to lockout in time and with sufficient 'aggressiveness' to hold and stabilize.
I agree we're all here to learn from one another, but too much 'help' from people that have no clue what they're on about can do way more harm than good.
>>35181920
It didn't really get away from him he just pussied out
He almost rode it down then got scared at the last second and dumped it I'm not the guy you're arguing with btw

i think it's mainly because of my shit mobility and speed.
i can barely touch my toes and my vertical is around 20 inches.
i'm working on my mobility on a daily basis and started doing parallel muscle snatches/clean and my snatch already increased by 10kg and my cnj by 8 kg in 2 days.
will i ever get good senpai?

I already know to keep my arms straight until I'm catching, but coming from a powerlifting background this stuff is difficult. Any help is appreciated.
>>35182154
yeah breh, it's a gradual process but those are good PRs. Sometimes the way WL works is your form has some shitty aspects, you fix them, and hit a big PR or two. In my experience, anyway. You're doing ok
should i stretch more than once a day of i have the time or is pointless?
same for foam rolling
>>35182272
Use straps and let your arms just hang, internally rotate your elbows before you pull and shake them out
Straps help you bring up wrist flexibility as well, go very light when using straps tho something you won't miss just focus on relaxing the arms, even just the bar is fine
>>35182313
if your mobility is lacking a lot its not a bad idea if you have the time.
So these Russian style muscle snatches seem to be the memelift of recent times
Real talk; will they help me learn to pull under/catch deeper?
I can pull the bar high and power snatch within a few kilos of my full, I think this is in part due to mobility/instability but these muscle.snatchs everyday as part of my warmup should help?
>>35182316
Great tip man, I'll be going back tomorrow with my straps. It's such an obvious thing but I'd never think of it. Thank you.
>>35182375
yeah i have the time to do whatever the fuck i want, i lost one year of high school so i have to do it again and basically i dont have ANYTHING to do besides going to the gym , polaying vidya and smoke weed.
i'm getting kind of depressed.
at least i'm making mad gainzzzzz
>>35182389
It's a meme lift for sure they don't help at all look at all the people who never read the post, it didn't work for them!!!
Don't do it its such a meme
>>35182389
That guy on the right is literally the definition of bear mode
>>35182394
Do not clean with straps.unless you're 100% certain you won't fail backwards.
Cleaning with straps is just a bad idea, period.
>>35182389
i want to cuddle mogushov. no homo
>>35182412
yeah man go for it.
hey dw bout it, i had to drop out of a college course after 1 semester, i sat at home doing nothing for like half a year senpai.
we all make it eventually f a m
>>35182437
are you American? Only Americans are scared of using a tool to get better for fear of injury because of what happened to that one guy
Cleaning with straps is a good idea unless you're American I guess
>>35182425
kek
>>35182487
get it together son, you don't have to go to uni but you should learn a skill. Working customer service is shit and probably does nothing for your anxiety

holy shitt indeed
>>35182571

Why not to use straps:

Thanks for the insightful comment
Fuck you 4chan
>>35182945
I already addressed this but once again you're too dumb to notice that
>>35182490
Pretty sure both old soviet and Chinese texts mention only using straps for pulls and snatches too. Isnt just Americans, not many people at all clean with straps
>>35180122
>>35182979
>recommending something which can cause catastrophic wrist injury to a rank beginner
>"addressed this"
>>35183110
he also said "go very light" you fucking idiot,
>>35183125
you heard it here first, folks
as long as you "go very light" any injury-prone exercise is fair game! crossfit skeptics BTFO
>>35183125
implying that even matters for someone who can barely clean. there's every chance they'll pull badly. how many times did you fail backwards when you were starting?
>>35183176
I've never fallen backwards m8, though i did some powerlifting before i transitioned
>>35183165
>injury prone exercise because one retard got injured that one time
>>3518098any reason why u stand so wide apart and dont move your feet?
I think that the reason u are so slow under is because you pull the bar too long, as in you should cut it short so the last part of the pull drag you under the bar.
You also have zero legdrive when you extendwith the bar mid thigh and try to bring the bar upwards, this is because your stance make the lift look like a stiff leg deadlift, to compensate you use your back only to extend the bar upwards.
My suggestions are; bring in your feet and use your legs only to bring the bar to the hipcrease, then extend.
Ofc im olympic coach lvl 300 USAW

>>35183125
Why would you use straps for a "very light" lift?
i have a meet on Saturday.
the weigh in will be from 8am to 8:30am and i have to lift around 9am.
this week, i have been eating almost zero carbs and drinking a ton (which i will reduce to a minium until friday) to cut waterweight. I weigh 58,7kg and need to weigh 58kg on Saturday.
what should i eat/drink in that 30 minute timespan that will hydrate me and give me enough energy for my lifts without making me too full or sluggish?
it's my first meet ever, don't have experience with cutting weight
>>35183511
Did you read the replies or are you just being a moron again
What happened to the Mattie instagram webms? I haven't seen a new one in years
>>35183712
The water alone will help you make the cut. Drink Gatorade and eat a light snack of your choice, trail mix or something
>>35183705
Hips rising too soon, he should really work on that.
>>35172889
>nice tits
>big ass
>long blonde hair
>looks like a guy
Looks like I found the chubby chaser, boys.
>>35183712
weird that there is only one hour between weigh in and competeing, usually you have 2hrs
get some protein bars and like some sports drink like gatoraid and you should be fine.
also dont worry if you dont make weight (you should be fine) as its your first comp. your main goal should just be to not bomb,
>>35183843
shes taking a week off or something. and i dont feel like making any (original mattie poster here)
Just hit an ugly no hook no touch snatch pr at 75kg. What does this make my snatch max (ballpark figure)
>>35184068
>original mattie poster here
I wish a painful death upon you
>>35180122
I've had the same thing as well, mane. I rested for 4 months, and it went away. It eventually came back though, even though I really eased back into squatting.
I've just gone full deadlift mode. 1 Sumo day, 1 conventional day. I find that body weight Bulgarian split squats have been helping the issue, as well as making sure I do lots of soft tissue stuff around the painful area and wearing knee sleeves while training.
Feels good not to BB squat for a while to be honest haha.
>>35184092
thanks. im glad i made mattie a meme on fit. im looking for a new waifu desu senpai
Guys how can i avoid puting presure on my rear knee after doing the split jerk?
Today i did one rep taht really hurted and i´m not sure how to fix it
>>35184117
Does that mean you'll stop making the Mattie webms and start making webms of another? I don't want Mattie to go away
imho I don't think Mattie has been completely meme'd. Meme'd far yes, but not far enough. There's still work left to do
>>35183915
>>35184051
thank you very much!
>>35184245
Np, good luck on the platform m8
>>35184245
good luck, try to get some vids if u can and post em here
>>35183993
>>big ass
>>long blonde hair
>>looks like a guy
the one who said the hips raise to fast probably said it bc the pull get fucked up, tian taos pull is obviously not fucked up. So nice shitposting
>>35184685
what the fuck are you talking about, tian tao what? you quoted some random ass shit as well
u mentally damaged son?
I think I hurt my traps yesterday doing cleans since it's sore the worst when I twist my upper back, pic related, but it could just be strained from one too many chinups. Anyone else do the same?
>>35182272
the bar is crashing onto you because you dont finish the pull, read the yashablog in OP
do those for cleans
https://www.instagram.com/p/8jRIBGLah7/
see how the bar is being controlled throughout and it's not crashing on him
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sR4DmSBBD_s
watch 30:48 then the other one at 31:03, you'll see two women showing you how to finish the pull, elbows up as high as they go then you rotate them to rack. this is how you prevent the bar crashing
>>35182953
yeah fuck u 4chan why dont you spoonfeed me, everything even though i can't actually read
fuck u guys
>>35185037
the yasha muscle snatch post to be specific
At which point is it non tryhard to wear knee sleeves?
Do they make your knee feel more stable and less pain?
I'm frontsquatting 3-4x a week and getting a little slight ache on my left knee and it's stopping me from adding weight.
For reference my 5x3 is 70kg, 72kg bw.
>>35185132
>looking tryhard
Just do it, don't ruin your knees. I always bandage mine when squatting/cleaning, because I have issues with them
>>35185153
Okay thanks man, I'm pretty sure I know why I get it but I need something in the mean time.
I'm trying to strengthen muscles involved in keeping my knees out since I have flat feet so the knee has a tendency to track inside my feet.
Also another couple of questions for anyone, what kind of routine/volume would you recommend where I can frontsquat 4x week and get stronger at it and accessories based on improving it?
I'm doing weighted planks and ab wheel a lot, my core or upper back seems to give out before my legs.
I don't feel the barbell ankle stretch in my ankle or calf really, I just get some knee pain. Anyone know why this could be? I'm only using the bar.
>>35185132
having tryhard knees is better than having no knees at all

>>35185231
Front squats 4x a week sounds a bit much, when will you do your back squadders?
OK lads can I get a form check on this no hook no touch snatch? I moved feet but w/e
https://www.instagram.com/p/_DFdB_rrv8/
It was shit, I know, but if this was 75kg does this mean that I should be able to hit ~100 for a full snatch?
>>35185395
I go 4x a week anyway, I don't mean heavy every time but maybe like technique/pause?
And also other accessories I should include that will help with my frontsquat? Upper back work/rack holds or something?
I don't plan on doing any backsquats for a couple months. For now, I'm working solely on my weak quads and mobility so I can go back to backsquats properly in a few months without them feeling or looking like shit.
I'm growing to love frontsquats and really want to reach 2pl8 frontsquat but I'm not sure how attainable that is really and I don't know what kind of time frame that takes or should aim for.
I'm still learning classics tech BTW, that's why I'm not worried about backsquats for a while.
>>35185486
I'm really not even sure where to begin
That's way too much weight for an assistance movement
Looks like your right side came up way faster than the left
Drop the weight to like 50kg and make that shit look good, you're getting nothing out of going that heavy if that's what it looks like
>>35185564
yeah I am fucked off about that imbalance, I have no idea what is causing it. I've tried stretching everything but nothing's working
Hit new pr today on clean of 285 lbs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0p3H7KIKmRY
really bad form but at least i got it and i feel good
Any tips on how to get better form when doing prs and higher weight
>>35180122
leg extensions, leg curls, stop a session as soon as it hurts and try to find an alternative which doesn't hurt, long half squat holds (5min or so), stretch gently
experiment with assistance/variation stuff to see if anything helps and then do that lots
>>35185609
>lbs
Speak metric ya goof
>>35185691
fine sir
129kgs
im new here so i dont know what you guys prefer to use
>>35185708
's all good mang
In weightlifting, we always use The Kilogrammes
Should I use straps for every set of pulls and/or clean and snatch deadlifts?
>>35185732
>pulls
I prefer always using straps, because hooking them sucks
>deads
If you need to
>>35185587
Looks like its proprioceptive
I have something similar with my shoulders not wanting to do the same thing at the same time when I tell them to
It's something you have to work on at home with a mirror just doing broomstick deadlifts or something to igrain a more symmetrical motor pattern
