Does Olympic lifting give you an aesthetic body?
no, you become core/trap/leg dominant
No clue.
>>35330027
No, but training for olympic lifting does.
Proper training for any strength sport gives you an aesthetic body
>>35330027
Fuck no I doesn't. My back and arms were so overdeveloped. I looked like a fucking french hunchback.
Like pic related but with no legs or ass or facial asthetics.

If only you knew you poor bastard.
>>35330103
I can understand forearms, but you should barely be using your biceps and triceps to move the weight.
>>35330124
I think in this case I was doing the push press mostly and as a result my tris got bigger, my biceps never got any bigger so you're right on that statement.
>>35330124
Also, I was probably using improper form.
>>35330075
>what is olympic drug testing
>>35330188
of course you were
its my understand the triceps are only ever supposed to begin to bear the weight when they're already at lockout when you're under the bar
>>35330189
>Olympics
>Drug testing
Look at the 80's
Shit, look at the last olympic wrestlers.
>>35330203
Ehhh, not exactly?
When my coach told us to push the bar, he would tell us to explode from our toes and your lat/tris.
Basically a push up with a bar is what he would tell us.
>>35330245
Your coach was a fucking retard.
>>35330027
well crossfit is mostly oly lifts and they all look great, so yeah I guess.
>inb4 snap city
that happened to one guy, out of all crossfitters only one guy wrecked himself, grow up
>>35330313
Still coaching champions I hear, that old fuck.
oly lifting plus 5x10+ dips and 5x10+ chins (adding weight once you can do 5x20s) will make you pretty solid in the pecs, biceps, and lats.
>>35330313
you're a fucking retard on retard central aka 4chan. what now.
>>35330552
>(adding weight once you can do 5x20s)
that's excessive for almost everyone. you can and should add weight way before that.
>>35330410
>shilling crosshit
the training methodology is shit, so are the coaches, the community and the events. Being shit is a hallmark of crossfit
>>35330567
you could certainly add weight early on but then you need to bother with a harness, etc. this is just supposed to be something to add bicep and pec volume as a finisher at the end of a workout.
you also would want to have lower volume on dips if your press isn't close to 85% bodyweight because I'd hate for the tendons attaching the triceps to explode from overwork
>>35330471
why no owg posting?
>>35330585
>the community is shit
The community part of crossfit is the only real appeal. You get to mix with and work out around top tier qt's who love to lift, eat paleo / zone, and look excellent in workout gear. They usually have big traps too as a bonus.
>>35330071
he's fucking beautiful though
most top oly lifters roid and also actually do high rep BBing work, because they believe it keeps the joints healthy and whatnot.
Chinese lifters especially do this. lots of dips and presses (and handstand pushups) and stuff like that for high reps. it's not as if all they do is the oly lifts for singles. although, a lot of oly lifters only ever really do low reps for legs (sets of 5 max), yet have huge quads. why? it's because they do so much God damn volume. you can get big legs doing triples and doubles if you do 10 God damn sets of them.
Oly lifters have GOAT aesthetics. Klokov, that Chinese dude, they have the best aesthetics out of them, powerlifters, & bbers..
Doing oly lifts youre destined to look like a fat manlet. And your arms will never be bigger than 14 inches relaxed.

CrossFit produces the hottest women. It's not even funny.
>>35331095
I'm this poster.
>>35331112
yes, I totally agree. big frame, good genetics are part of it. the steroid usage and lots of pressing/overhead work, and all the stuff that involves the core for stability all lead to the great aesthetics of many Olympic lifters (big delts, good upper chest that squares out the lower chest, strong Greek sculpture core, and of course nice big quads).
