So tonight I power snatched my pr snatch (unintentionally) but I kept missing bodyweight snatch. I'm so close. I just can't catch in a deep position I power it every time.
Mobility+overhead squats to get happier in the bottom position maybe?
>>35206754
IMO hang/block work is probably more important to get you to be comfortable catching lower
>>35206916
Yes you're right. Although I've had a few people (national coaches) watch me lift and they seemed to think tight hip flexors were a bit of a problem, like I have a 'sticking point' when squatting down.
I think mobility+stability in hole+hang and block like you said is the key
The silver lining is atleast I can now power my previous full r-right?
lads, where can i buy myself some of those sexy shoes the chinese were wearing in houston
Hi /owg/, had a wrist injury for 2.5 months and haven't been able to do the lifts and I'm finally back to doing them again. Didn't go too heavy but any critique on the lifts would be appreciated.

>I thought I was the only one who liked rolling on the bar for smr.
It's the best when you put weights on one sleeve and roll on the other because it spins hnnnnng
>>35207888
why didn't you jerk it
over head pressing 50kg the same as mattdoesfitness started at.... is this a good weight or is it still too light?
Need some tips on more upright frontsquat mobility.
Any good upper back stretches or exercises to improve t spine mobility? My upper back rounds when I go full depth.
Any other ankle stretches apart from barbell stretch and normal stair stretch?
>>35207944
Cause i havent jerked that much weight before and didnt wanna fuck up and like accidentally damage something
>>35207222
lookin good mang
>>35207996
sounds like you need to build up your upper back then
>>35207888
pls find an actual wl gym, your form is pretty good for someone who doesnt train oly exclusive, and your strong.
plz find gym
>>35208027
It happens very slightly even with 15kg bar, it's definitely a combination of both.
What upper back exercises have the best carryover to a good frontsquat position?
>>35207961
50kg at what bw?!?
Lets settle this. What are best exercises at which volume, what % of 1rm and sets/reps, to increase jerk?
>>35208087
what does bw stand for?
>>35208041
im planning to join one come january
Ill probably try it out for a month see what its like and decide then
>>35208091

>>35208114
good choice man, ur what like around 94kg?
>>35208150
im about 90kg
>>35207888
Your technique is good, but there is a pretty significant degree of shifting around on the foot throughout the lifts. You're way on your toes at the beginning and way on your heels when the bar is at the knee. Try to keep your balance a bit more centered throughout the lifts. Your bottom position could also look a bit more comfortable: you rack the bar, and as you sink into the position you have to move your heels inward, and even so you end up squatting on your toes, which leads me to believe you have squat mobility issues. Still a really solid clean though.
>>35208150
im actually 90 kgs rn,
I hope i can make it in Oly lifts cause i really enjoy trying the lifts
>>35208161
then 50kg press is pree shit, im 65 and rep 50 for like 5x5
>>35208177
yeah man 125 clean at 94 isnt bad at all for a total noob to oly
>>35208353
my max clean is actually like 130 or 135
>>35207222
who here /trainbutdonteat/?
>tfw ate so much days before without training that im not even hungry after 2 hours of training
>>35208442
tfw 5'11 and should be at least a 94 but I get fat really easily when I bulk and get cold feet so I remain in limbo at 82-86kg and my back squat PR is still 170 from last year.
>>35206708
What are those stretches doing and why have I got an erection.
>>35208782
TFW when 6'1 78kgs :^)
>>35208091
This is already settled lad, front squat, jerk, push press, and complexes of these three things

Holy fucking shit. I wish I was that mobile, good god.
>>35210498
How is it that Klokov has such incredible mobility in almost all areas but has a completely terrible front rack?
>>35210638

The clean looked alright to much but that snatch was disgusting. The barbell is supposed to go up vertically as much as possible.

I'm 5'11 but I stay around 75kg because I just get fat. But I'm weak as shit and my back squat max is only 132kg
>>35208782
>>35212177
then you are just low test
I'm 5'9 84kg and not fat, planning to go to 94
>>35212177
Oh yeah? Try being 71kg and 5'11. My bones are so fucking small. My wrists are 2 inches wide. I think if I peaked my back squat would be around 150kg.

Oh god, didnt mean to post that

When academic load increases then training decreases. I train with auto regulation. I don't think taking a week off/deloading hurts you too much.

Hi all!
I'm a noobie in Spain(just 3 weeks) been doing sports maybe since i was 10 ( football, rugby, 100m & 200m (quite good) and hitting the gym twice a week since I was 16 etc) now i really want to be important in OW but i'm 18 now (from 1997) and I wanted to know if there is any chance for me to get into a national level in Spain in the 105kg category. I train 4 times a week but in a few months I'll train 6 days a week and some days morning and evening, like 8-9 sessions a week.
Is there any hope for me?
>>35216718
L in their filenames
>>35216722
How tall are you?
It's always possible if youre willing to put in the work
>>35216722
also, my trainer is quite god, I have like 6-7 men in my OW club who go to the nationals.
>>35216744
I'm between 176-177cm/ 5'10''
>>35216708
What's so fedora about that? What do you use?
Too much volume loading makes you tired all the time then when you're tired all the time you can't study. For example Smolov for squatting.

I just called my local oly gym. The coach wants to enroll me in his class this tuesday. THis will be my first time doing the olympic lifts.
He told me to wear pants that wasn't cotton.
I have some old polyester running pants, but they restrict me during squats.
What to get? He recommended Adidas Condivo, or tights.
I'm in EU

Guys, 2 weeks ago i got a185lb clean and jerk, it was the first time i ever tried, i did ramp to such weight, 19 y/o 20 months lifting, how good/bad is it?
>>35219178
It was mostly a power clean and then a push press, didn't knew how to properly execute de movement
>>35219178

Ayy lmao hit a btn jerk pr, 161kg at 101bw. Bit of technique break down tho. Working on staying more upright on the dip, and also trying to dip shallower and harder.

FEEEEEET
>>35220095
Strong. Obviously a little shaky in the bottom of the dip, just core strength/tightness. Biggest technical issue I see is to make sure you push yourself under the bar and have a wide enough split.
>>35221102
Idk, it's something to try but a short, fast dip works for a lot of lifters. Ilya is a good example, as he so often is.
blog:
First week at new job over and I love it -I'm working in a neuro lab at a highly respected university. That being said, it was a tiring and stressful week, so I didn't expect a great session tonight. However;
Snatch - (85/1)2, (90/1)2, (95/1)2, (100/1)6 Volume and consistency PR - had one stupid technical error, so one miss.
C+J - (100/1)2, (110/1)2, (120/1)2, (130/1)2. Never made a 120-130 jump before, and 130 has never felt this light.
Front Squat - (120/3), (140/2), (145/2) PR, (130/5) PR
Snatch Push Press - 70/5. 80/5, 90/5 PR

Ok!
>>35221369
And I just gave an example of someone who does the opposite by a lifer better than either of them. What's your point?
>>35221245
>we shouldn't call it the bulgarian method
Who cares. By his reasoning we shouldn't call any sort of X country method because i can go there and use any system and call it X country method. It's dumb.
>Abadjiev didnt use what is normally called the bulgarian method AT FIRST. Bulgarians that werent training under abadjiev used different systems
Duh. He says it all the time. "I started with seventeen exercises and many rep ranges etc but what was most effective was lifting to a maximum every time in about five different lifts" or something along those lines. He explains what the bulgarian method is all the time.
If i keep going i'm going to be even more butthurt so i'm going to stop

Kek.
>>35221410
Too lazy to watch now, but IIRC they talk about oscillation of the bar at higher weights. Its true that you'll have greater oscillation at higher weights, but the difference between even 100kg and 120kg is noticeable and possible to use if you have good timing.

I'm an Alpha male FCJ.
And girls want to fuck alpha males. Let it piss you off as much as you want, but you know it's completely true. That girl you like who is kinda cute in a weird way, but is totally sweet and you have the biggest crush on? The one who keeps going back to guys who treat her wrong for reasons you don't understand? The one who calls you up at 1 am to cry about how her boyfriend hasn't called her in 3 days, and no matter how long you listen to her, she'll never think of you as anything other than asexual? The one who will curl up next to you on the couch, hug you close, kiss you on the cheek, and never let you fucking touch her beyond that?
Yeah, I'm fucking her.
The hot girl who won't even look at you when you nod at them and smile? The one who laughs when you trip in the hallway and drop your stuff? The one who comes up and coyly asks for your help with her homework, and then pretends you don't exist once you finish?
Yeah, I'm fucking her too, even harder.
The geeky girl you think might be enough like you that you have a chance with her? She plays warcraft on your server, and watches anime, and reads comics? She's so incredible and you just love her so much but you still haven't worked up the courage to tell her how you feel about her?
Guess who just sucked me off and told me they'll always love me?

>>35223714
show me 10 lifters at 105 who are 176cm
>>35223724
ilya is like 172
>>35223784
Not the guy you are replying to but I have read that Ilya is an anomaly of a lifter.
The people who say certain heights belong to certain classes might be delusional because not everyone's bones are the same size.
Galabin Boevski was 5'9 or 175cm and he was 69kg lifter. He looked DYEL but his total was really good for his weightclass even today.
>>35223794
what about aramnau.he's only 173
>>35223802
Yeah.
The thing is that is there anything you can do about your height anyways? No so I don't think you should even bother thinking about this kind of stuff.
Just try to be fairly lean and whatever weightclass you are around and fall into is the weightclass that you should be in IMO.
>>35223825
176cm at 105 and you'll look fat unless you got god tier genetics
>>35223853
Now I'm around 89-90 kg at aprox 17%bf. I don't look like I weight 90kg but I do. (I'm neither fat nor muscular)
