How do I stop jerking the bar forward? It's always in front of me and causes me to press out
>>35505604
Before you jerk, move your head back, out of the way.
Elbows down, jerk straight up, head through.
>>35505412
>>35505422
If someone is saving these then I will make them more often.
>>35505639
yes please make more
TFW 5x5 front squats :(
>>35505787
Fun :D)
It's my first day back today after a few weeks off on holiday. I'm thinking fs, push press, row and some bodybuilding fluff after a shit ton of technique work.
>>35505859
Its the beginning of a hypertrophy focus phase for me so it was baby weight and felt easy but it still sucked, so I'm not looking forwards to adding weight :-( I've never bothered to do a set of 5 with more than 130kg in the front squat lel
Today was:
Snatch - (82.5/3)6, 85, 87.5, 90, 92.5, 95, 97.5, 100
Jerk - (105/3)6
Front Squat - (110/5)5, 120/3, 130/2 140 paused PR
Snatch High Pull - (90/3)6
And abs, tricep, shoulder stuff
>>35506012
I've been thinking a lot about this. Does it make sense to do work in hypertrophy percentages with snatch and clean and jerk? I feel like the hypertrophy benefits of those lifts are limited, and I'd rather handle weights closer to what i'd be doing in competition anyway
>>35504371
Look at this guy with all his special gear and he's only doing the bar for reps? Give me a break.
>>35505604
Lead with your hips.
>>35506059
I'm sure that there is some level of hypertrophy in doing triples at 70-80% of max in snatch and clean+jerk. Less if youre not efficient, more if you're weak like I am atm. The main benefit is working and perfecting technique. Plus it gives me a break from a pretty heavy loaded month in December.
For me its roughly a 6 week cycle on the classics. Two weeks of triples in the classics (6 sets 77.5% and 80% roughly), two weeks of doubles (6 sets 82.5 and 85% roughly), and two weeks of singles (90% for 6 singles and a down week ending with a max). A bit less structured in squats but 10s to 8s to 5s ect in back squats and 5s to 3s to doubles in fronts.
>>35506059
>>35506158
That being said, my coach in general will let people go up on a lift if they feel good - as you see I went up in snatches after my triples because they felt very good, and every rep was smooth to 100. I had to steady 100 in the hole and didn't bounce out so that was the end of it and time to move on.
>>35506059
>>35506158
>>35506192
TLDR theres a time and place for everything but I think that a more conjugate style (wherein strength, hypertrophy, and neuromuscular coordination are all trained at once, not strict linear periodization to allow for days when you feel good or bad) is good for recreational lifters. A super structured program is great for a full time lifter living in controlled situation, but I would hate it.

Apologies for rambling mini essay.
i got into oly lifting last year from january to may, hit a 66kg snatch and 87kg cj. i went back to general strength training, and now (after i hit my current goal of 1 plate ohp) i want to get back into o lifting. is this a good non percentage based program to follow until i get comfortable with my maxes again? using weighs for the snatch and cj that i know i can hit with no questions
squat rep schemes refers to my programs written above
>>35506326
Do catalysts 3 day a week program
I'm getting back into weightlifting next week after a couple weeks off due to a crazy semester schedule and an uncooperative work schedule.
I was thinking doing a lot of light volume squatting and pulling and about a million drills for Wed-Friday and then getting back into the heavier stuff two weeks from now. Wish me luck, /owg/.
>listen to Birdie while I lift
This is a good thing right fellas?
>>35504601
>>35504407
She's getting fucking strong, god damn.
What do you even do when you see ILYIN, Ilya (KAZ) in your category?
>>35508238
Buy an LG TV
i seem to be using my arms to do the second pull on the snatch
as far as i can tell i don't have the same problem in cleans
my coach and i are going to be doing some work on it on friday but i was wondering if anyone here has had the same problem
>>35505354
He is so cute.
I almost want him as my pet.
>>35508238
hope for silver or bronze
>>35508238
kill the drug tester he bribed
>>35504601
That can't be right, isn't her CJ best like 120?
>>35505512
>that depth
>>35509900
126 is her best
also who here bullied her on instagram last night? very mean

>>35504371
anyone has experience with hookgrip straps and knee wraps? i rip my callouses at least once a week because i pull without straps and this is getting pretty annoying.
also i always bruise my right knee with the barbell and i'm at the point of having a 1 inch wide bloody hole that keeps getting larger, i have eleiko sleeves but they're too think and i cant lift comfortably in them.
was wondering if the hook grip sleeves were light enough to feel like a soft ace wrap
>>35505412
Love it when they look absolutely joyous after making a lift. He looks genuinely happy after making that lift, not just like celebrating the win. Really inspirational.
>>35510469
I have both the russian knee wraps and the chinese style knee sleeves. They're both great, would highly recommend
>>35510488
how about the sizing? i hate when sleeves slip off my quads, i weight exactly 80kg , should i buy an M?
>>35510506
I weigh 77 and I wear an S, but they sometimes slide down. I would say if you're worried about it, get the first version which is a little thinner and longer, so you can pull it up more.
What does it mean by doing 5 x 2(1+1) power clean & power jerk in the Catalyst programme in the OP?
>>35510581
One power clean and one power jerk
>>35510581
It means that one set is power clean+power jerk+power clean+power jerk
>>35510585
>>35510581
correct one is >>35510619
greg specifies that in the comments, 1 rep is 1pc+1pj so 1 set 1pc+pj+1pc+1pj
Lad I actually had a decent clean and jerk day yesterday, nearly cleaned lmao1pl8 but I couldn't get it, I need to get smaller plates, I was so sure that I could do more than 50kg. Also I'm pretty sure my gym has womens bars but who gives a shit lmao. Pretty happy desu. Also did some pulls/ power shrugs, I looked like a spastic retard but I felt good. Also got me pretty tired and now I understand why some people don't do accessory work.
>blog post over
Also I am still weak and slow as fuck.
>>35510585
How did oldschool weightlifters have such ridiculous shoulder flexibility?
>>35510674
Didn't mean to quote
>>35510674
some people just have it, i cant touch my tippy toes but i can dislocate shoulder wide
>>35510665
you'll get there eventually, just squat eat and sleep a lot.
also work on mobility, my tech didnt get decent until i started doing daily mobility work
>>35510426
her twitter
>>35510775
What post on her instagram?
>>35511119
not on her insta
https://www.instagram.com/p/BAIVP15sv0c
>>35510775
he had a point in there about posting all their shit on social media nonstop. Pretty accurate
>>35511337
why does it matter, especially on instagram of all sites? at least mattie's shown she can lift. its odd to complain about american lifters by using one of the few american lifters that DOES show constant progress. especially because of something arbitrary like insta selfies. just a dumb thing to make a sticking point
the most notable american female lifters have been fats and lesbians in highly uncompetitive classes and meets, who lift for years and never get any better. natalie woolfolk was a slight standout imo and so far mattie's progressed much better. she's only 20, started a little over 2 years ago, and has set more national records than most lifters since then except BBCJ
where is the american pride family?
>>35511739
mattie pls stay
>>35511739
also reminds me of those justin lascek articles where he said he hated aramnau for being fat/ugly/drunk, wasn't impressed by aramnau's best performance, and was glad aramnau faded and no longer competed in top shape.
i don't get people who care more about a lifters personal life than their performance
Ay lads i had my cobbler add 0.23of hardened plastic to my heel, my current shoe has 0.77 heel height.
how noticeable will the change be?
im not looking for a major change only slight.
and is a gradual increase in height better to a solid block on the heel?
ive seen many weightlifters add a solid block to increase their heel height and many old school weightlifting shoes have a block for a heel
wha % of 1rm should i be able to snatch for a triple? today i managed to snatch my 95% for a triple at the end of my session so i think it's not my 95% anymore
>>35509930
Literally nothing wrong with it
You can snatch 90% for a triple if you're peaking
>>35512039
would not count in a PL meet
>>35511739
>spend 40% of yoru day just uploading on what you did
American lifters are lazy narcissistic time wasters
>>35512082
>>35512046
>>35512016
>tfw dat 2pl8 snatch is not this far anymore
>>35512084
i compete at a lolfed (GPA) and even there it wouldnt count.
>i am a fat powerlifter and i approve your messege
i can bounce my glutes off of my heels when i lift barefoot.
i want to try and keep all my lifts barefoot because i am an insane hippy faggot.
do i really *NEED* weightlifting shoes?
i will suck it up and by a pair of wei-rui if i am convinced of the necessity, but i don't know what the fuck the shoes are even supposed to do, besides let you get deeper in the hole..
>>35510775
>nat arem
>hook grip man
>expert in wl
Lmao look at the older hook grip posts he has no idea what wl is he just takes photo Gregor from atg knows more than him
>>35512228
i wouldnt do a split on a platform barefoot, shits must hurt a lot.
dude just imagine all the wood splinters in your feet by stomping on the platform
>>35512228
just do it it will make you twice the athlete
>>35512307
the platform i do them on is laminated, and splinters don't seem to be a concern
>>35512321
what if i would prefer being a lesser athlete with no assistance what-so-ever?
i am not looking to compete in oly.. i just want to be competent.
>>35511988
pls reply
>>35505512
Lol that fat bitch in the back ground doing quarter reps
>>35511337
He doesn't have a point. He's a fucking retard. 'I don't have time to get good at lifting I'm a dad' but he still has time to dig out a 20yr old girl on Instagram?
If you're the kind of person who gets angry at what other people do on Instagram you're either incredibly immature or 16. Don't like it? Don't look.
100% you and him are the kind of guy who's be falling over themselves to suck Lu's e-dick if he had an insta like Mattie's.
But because she's a young, excitable American woman you can't handle it.
Im not even a big fan of Mattie, and I'm not American either. It just makes me.laugh how bent out of shape she makes autistic nerds
>>35512084
>>35512218
Is she at a pl meet though?
>>35512467
they just make the lifts more comfortable, you are not supposed to put 200kg on your shoulders barefoot, you need support to do that
waifu desu senpai
she's funny in person as well
>>35513155
i wish i could clean that much.
so is there any reason not to just work my way as high as i can and get shoes if i feel my feet need more support?
would rather have bare feet conditioned and strengthened to handle this type of stress..
..or am i just being stupid?
>>35513451
>conditioned and strengthened
for what fucking reason? functional stremf?
lmao you're like the hippiest of all hippy fitness guy
>>35513384
>pink bumpers
adorable.
i want some.
no homo
>>35513384
I wanna get lost in her ass. Also BTN shit is so good.
>>35513474
for what fucking reason do you lift?
to become a stronger, more capable version of yourself.
i understand my desires may seem silly... i just want to know if they are also harmless.
i just like the idea of doing thinks as unsupported as possible.
i don't care about my lifts with equipment. i care more about what my own body is capable of.
i suppose you could argue at that point that a barbell is equipment, but i wanna liff them heaby-ass weights.
Do you jump during the power clean? Do you feet leave the ground or is it only the heels of your feet?
I may have been really retarded
>>35513155
that's bullshit
oly shoes raise your heels, they dont offer "support"
i can squat 200 kg barefoot no problem
oly lifting barefoot is a different thing because its harder to get in the proper positions without oly shoes
>>35513522
you don't HAVE to use oly shoes but they definitely help you lift more weight, especially if your mobility is subpar
and they will probably help you stay injury free as well
>>35513535
Pls reply
Googling it comes up with yes you should jump, but some guy at my gym told me I will hurt my back if I jump, and that I shouldn't jump?
Then again I've only seen him bench and squat 1pl8
But I don't want to be that guy who lifts with bad form.
>>35513632
alright.
i will just keep doing what i am doing, and if my feet go to snap city i will pick up some shoes lmao.
but am i correct in assuming that if i stick to low weight i should be relatively safe? (i.e. only worry about establishing 2 rep maxes instead of 1 rep, and things of that nature)
>>35513661
Squatting barefoot is retarded and only fucks with your ankles and offers no support to lift the bar, it's a great way to stress the arch on your foot too as well as loose balance squatting with maximal weights.
>>35513632
Anecdotal evidence, just because you haven't studied the problems your poor feet have to endure and completely ignored the repercussions that have or are going to come, doesn't mean that your way is correct.
Please kill yourself instead of giving out advice that is along the lines of
>it works for me bro
>>35513645
jump
>>35513725
fnx
>>35513661
it's not just your feet you have to worry about, you'll have a harder time staying upright and thus putting your back at a greater risk
and also: none of my injuries have happened due to a 1rm, mostly 3-5 reps or chronic overexertion of a joint/muscle
i cant really see why you would want to do the oly lifts if all you care about is being "more capable", theyre very niche and technical
>>35513702
>doing a primal movement barefoot is bad for your ankles
sure bro
lots of powerlifters squat with flat shoes and hurting your ankles squatting is pretty much unheard of
but sure, using oly shoes won't hurt you so do whatever you want, but if you're going to call me out on using anecdotal evidence you could at least provide some non-anecdotal evidence to prove me wrong
>>35513768
The typical powerlifting shoe is the chuck taylor, they're better than being barefooted because you tie them tight around the floor and if supplies a flat even surface for the weight to be supported on as well as they aren't even that great.
With feet you either have an arch, so less weight is spread out over the foot, and with flat feet you could have internally rotated ankles and collapse in the squat
Both are very very very bad
>>35513811
I butchered that first sentace. Basically it allows your feet to have a even spread of weight and keeps your ankles upright as they're tight
>>35513811
>With feet you either have an arch, so less weight is spread out over the foot
>Both are very very very bad
i dont squat barefoot but you're a fucking retard if you believe that, moreso than the guy who wants to lift barefeet
>>35513896
You could collapse your arch and fall during the squat
>>35513839
>if [sic] supplies a flat even surface for the weight to be supported on
you mean like the floor?
>With feet you either have an arch, so less weight is spread out over the foot
the weight being "unevenly spread out" over your foot is a non-issue
you don't have to worry about the soles of your feet getting hurt
>>35513917
wut
>>35513943
I just don't want anon hurting himself. No day I'll research the actual reason shy it's bad, until then I want anon to play it safe
>>35513917
>You could collapse your arch and fall during the squat
|o|
>>35513990
you're a fucking idiot
>>35513535
doesn't matter. there are elite lifters who's feet don't even move and those who jump into the air like a horse and kick

how the fuck can he pull so slow and drop so fast?
Can't tell if retarded as fuck and have a 5th grade level understanding of biomechanics or just a poor troll.
>>35514786

Its heavy.
3rd pull when his feet are off the ground is powerful/fast

That ass and her tomboy attitude just makes me want to fuck her so much goddamn

yeah whatever, squat barefoot if you want to, its not going to kill you thats sure, you simply dont get any benefit from doing so, if anything you get downs
>>35513510
i always see mattie posted here on owg but giorgia russo is a damn hottie fugg, probably the hottest elite wl

she, on the other hand.. damn

Has she got Instagram or something? Want to have angry sex with her.
>>35513535
This question was answered in the last thread. Go to the OP, click the link under 'Red Lights' and ctrl-f 'power clean' and/or 'jump'.
Short answer is 'no, you don't jump; you extend aggressively'. If you have 'jump' as a cue you are very likely pulling incorrectly. I dislike the Pendlay tutorial bids for precisely this reason.
>>35515172
dunno got the pic from facebook.
italian weightlifters are unknown even to the international community
>>35515166
>italian
>looks like dirty mexican
no thx
>>35515152
Still my fave. Looks a bit like my ex. I cri.
>>35514805
hes a manlet
rate my form plz
don't be too harsh
>>35515471
the lack of sound doesn't do it justice tho
https://youtu.be/5DZUv0AtYbI?t=1h4m26s
>>35515471
did the tattooed freak lift as well
>>35515471
Wouldn't go out in public if my form was that shit with such a paltry amount of weight.
>>35515471
he does at 41:38 lmao make a webm
>>35515520
yeah. they all have really "solid" technique lol
pretty strong tho, to lift 95/120 like that lmao
>>35515519
this hurt my eyes
>>35510469
just get a piece of 8ft webbing for like $1 and use that as straps forever
>>35515601
>>35515471
lmao how did my man even fall on his knees must of been a breeze that tipped him over
>>35515471
>still put more weight up than 90% of people here
lol
>>35515685
it's a novel approach to the clean and jerk, called the "prayer technique". By falling on the knees he channels the energy of God to perform a lift that he otherwise couldn't
>>35512228
ehhhhh
ive seen novice lifters, myself included, be completely deluded about their own form before, why not post a video or photo showing your squat form, it might not be as good as you think, your mobility may not be quite what you think it is
you do need shoes if you intend to compete, they are a necessity like a leotard is too
furthermore, they give you lots of stability on the platform
>>35515669
>>35515471
LMAO, did they do a mock meet or soemthing? Also are they in thailand?
>>35515796
sure thing bruv
u also need hookgrip belt kneesleeves socks shoes and shirt!!
>>35515519
Damn those russian girls are QT. Also David Rigerts son looks like a cool guy.
>tfw everyone in that video has better lifts than you.
>>35515802
they are in Thai. It is Klokov's project, with most major russian youtubers participating. Almost none of them do WL, most do bodybuilding. So they did a mock meet
>>35515916
Pretty funny desu, liked the bb show thing too
>>35515669
>/fraud/ tries WL
>>35515818
no need to be facetious niggerfaggot
you actually have to wear shoes if you compete, just read the iwf rulebook
>>35515963
The guy you responded to asked if he needed WEIGHTLIFTING shoes. Your response was ambiguous so I misunderstood
>>35516032
Tobehonestfam, not needing wl shoes to get into the correct positions is rare, if not unheard of in a beginner. Even for just squatting. Most likely Hippyfag has just never seen himself squatting and assumes his form is fine. Hippy no shoes anon should probably check his form before continuing.
>>35515519
How is the tranny so strong
>>35515236
Such a shame she made no fuckig progress throughout her career
>>35515519
How are they so comfortable around that "thing"
Whenever I try to hit a deep squat (I normally squat lowbar and just break parallel), my calves take a beating and I can't put any pressure on them (especially any kind of squat) for a few days.
Any ideas besides squatting wide and rolling?
Pic related, bottom of a (very light,paused) squat.
>>35518297
get used to it
lift without a belt for dem core gainz
>>35518317
It's terrible though. I can barely walk.
Also, I don't know why I had my belt on there. Holding my phone, maybe?
>>35518332
Honestly, try doing some calf stretches before and after.
After you'll probably cramping up, but try
>>35518317
Nothing wrong with using a belt. It's allowed in competition so go ahead if you feel the need
>>35518297
I had the same issue. Widening my stance helped but then it's going to take a toll on your psoas/it band. Stretch them out and pick your poison
>tfw skelington when I started and used to be able to go literal ass to grass
>gained muscle and size in legs so i can barely go past parallel
feels bad man. Gotta work on my stretching more
>>35518373
hamstrings to calves friendo
>>35518347
Worth a shot, I guess. I've been rolling them out every session and stretching occasionally.
>>35518364
I think that widening does help, but I'm not as strong or comfortable that way so I'd rather avoid that if possible.
>>35518297
I get this too, but it's only my right calf. Basically feels super compressed if I'm coming out of a paused squat. I've never known what causes it.
>>35518297
Whenever i squat and lose a bit of control on the descend, i bump my hips on my calves and feel my knees going forward, more than im used to. i feel like clarence whenever that happens
>>35518297

I've had that on my left calf on the soleus (side of the calf about a 3rd of the way down).
I had it taken care of through dry needling and massage/trigger pointing. It's pretty awkward to do yourself but if you could probably get someone else to try massaging it. It'll hurt a lot.Rolling doesn't really get in there and even a small lacrosse ball is unwieldy.
The bullying reinvigorated Mattie's American pride.
How long is coaching necessary for?
I don't live in an area where there are coaches period. If I did the a weightlifting weekend course and got certified with the Ontario Weightlifting Federation, is that good enough for now until I move to get coached?
Would it be better to just do lighter work to work on form until coaching is available? What is the best decision?

Coaching isn't necessary once you meet two sets of criteria
1: You are no longer a novice , this usually means you have been training under a coach for 6-12 months and have decent technique and a basic understanding of the sports and all the movements
2. You understand programming FULLY.

john mcgovern has done 190@85 although not at the olympics
>>35519330
>decent technique
>6-12 months
you gotta be superhuman or you just have very low standard for decent technique
the average person would be better off having a coach throughout their lifting if they want to compete and generally be better
someone who knows the movement better than you will be able to point out minute stuff you won't be able to see even if you film your lifts

Who would win in a street fight? The average gymnast or the average weightlifter?
>>35520438
Probably the weightlifter.
Nothing to do with the training, just the average weightlifter is about forty or fifty pounds heavier.

gymnasts has very little hip power/force production since all they do is mostly upper body shit

no-one in this world is better off without a coach and it would take years of with a coach to be able to continuably, though much slower, without one

goal for 2016 is hit 210+ and maybe hit 77 depending on how i am at 80 (currently at 88 at 170cm)
i want to go to states in july and i need to get a 177 total but i'm already to 169 and once i get better my coach thinks i won't have any trouble with it (i only started in august)
>>35519144

today i did a thing just to try out.
i wasn really feeling like doing classics so i just did some squats pulls and push press.
after that i wanted to do some light hang cleans but i got carried away and i tried a new max.
i basically did someting like 60 cleans , i usually fail a lot of lifts but of this 60 cleans i only failed one, the heaviest.
basically all i did was increasing weight by 1kg every lift to see if i was consistent with my tech and i really was, i usually have good form on my 70% but it get really bad and i slow down after 90%.
i did my max clean with the same exact technique i use for my 70% today, and this after a whole heavy workout.
my qyestion is, to get consisten with technique, is doing a lot of lifts with very little increase in weight from one to another a good strategy?
>>35524968
>the national athlete got the least of the camera time
lol
So here I was thinking I could do 5x3 power cleans 2x a week and 1x5 deadlifts 1x a week...
Damn, should I do power cleans on monday and deadlifts on Friday perhaps?
I posted another thread on this (search the catalog for "shoulder" or "mobility" if you want to find it).
What should I do for shoulder mobility (particularly for snatches but it'd help a lot on any overhead move). I'm already doing shoulder "dislocations" with a hoodie before bed and even a bit during a day sometimes, I try to go through the harder point using the closest grip possible and keeping my arms locked and shoulder blades back/down.
Anything else? I was reccomending face pulls, I do stretch my internal rotators a bit, I imagine strengthening the external rotators would help a bit too.
Should I just spend a lot of time with the bar overhead and maybe even some BTN work and it should sort itself out?
>shredtasticdad91 Hey nice stupid hashtags im in the navy so I think I actually do more for my country than you do so take your own advice and shut the fuck up @matiecakesssss
damn that guy's going all out on mattie
>>35527435
By 'in the navy' he means he drills one weekend every other month with the Coast Guard.
How do I get over a 'bogey' weight?
I've tried 80kg snatch three separate sessions now, last time before tonight was a month ago, really made improvements working at 70-80%, yet tonight I couldn't hit it again.
I'm pretty nooby, 6months ish lifting and 80 is about bodyweight, I feel.I've built it up loads now as its a big milestone and I wanted to hit it within 6 months :(
Help pls I'm so frustrated rn
>>35527603
i didnt get better until i started doing tech work for hours and hours every day ( i did tons and tons of reps with 70/80% changing weights and focusing on key positions and cues to the point of exaustion with my coach.
i'm still not really good but i've made amazing progress in the last few months, same squat yet i can power snatch my old snatch max.
i think weightlifting it's supposed to be frustrating, like any other sport based on technique and mindset
>>35527797
I can see big progress in my speed under, my depth, and my back during pull
However I still can't get to 80 so my Max remains 75, same as when it was shitter.
I guess I just have to chip away at it, and maybe I'll take a different route (I should probably Max with 77.5 first) its just so frustrating being this close to bw snatch
>>35527850
i'm the guy of >>35526560
mybe the way i did it was a bit too extreme, but i worked up the my old max and did really easily m would have done more but i had to leave the gym because it was late and i had things to do.
also my coach geat angry at me every time i do 5kg jumps on maxes, he says the even a single kilo matters and that i should always try 2, max 3 kg prs every try.
>>35527900
I might do the same, take smaller jumps. Because this weight is bw and I've missed it a load of times now I've built it up in .y head so I think I need to tackle it differently
>>35527055
stats?
are you doing ss?
iirc rip says do power cleans once and deadlifts once towards the end of ss
>>35504407
There's no way this is 157. Her best at World's was what, 126? How do you stack on 31 kg FROM THE HANG in a couple months?

Roids can't perform that kind of magic in that amount of time. If they did I would go dirty in an arrhythmic heartbeat.

20kg bar + 6 20kg plates + 2 5kg plates + 2 2.5kg plates + 2 1kg plates = 157kg
What does it look like to you?
