Because I'm a fucking worthless shitter, nobody likes me, I'm weak as shit and I hate my life.
I think I'm finally starting to get the winter blues m8, fuck. Don't mind me. Tomorrow I may be skipping school to hang out with this girl and smoke weed, idk. Maybe we'll make out or something idk. We have nowhere to go though. I don't know what to do. I don't want to go to classes either though, I don't know.. Maybe I do... Whatever.
>>35924579
>>35924658
lmao you can tell that coach enjoys some banter with the lads
based af
americucks eat shit as always
>>35924638
this is literally the gayest post i have ever read. i really mean that. please fucking kill yourself you faggot
>>35924723
Pendlay had good banter when he was at Cal but obviously his prospects didn't wind up being prospects (and I think he had a falling out with em)
>>35924737
>>35924737
I know.. Can you just kill me please?
>>35924638
>>35924768
You should try killing someone else for a power high
>>35924768
jesus christ dude grow a spine. just don't post like some emo 14 year old tumblr retard. and don't skip class
>>35924785
I've considered it.. I'd like to rape women too.
>>35924789
Spines don't grow like that. And what if I told you I was a 14 year old tumblr emo?
>>35924802
I was confused at that snatch grip. I thought she was gonna do a clean at first.
>>35924638
Also btw sadlads can get strong lifting on angst as long as they eat enough
>>35924818
I dont know what to say now
>>35924818
i find it best, to when you are catching something above your head, to place your hands along the bar where you are the most comfortable.
>>35924658
the dude in white just finished his set and coach was telling him corrections, then okulov shakes his head lol
i do not know what this is
>>35924840
Hm I'll try that. I usually lift like shit when I'm in despair though. I find I do best when I'm calm and content, energetic but not too hopped up either.
>>35924841
Yeah, I think the grip is totally appropriate for her. It just looks weird.
>>35924892
It's a Columbian lifter doing a clean and jerk?
>>35924912
have you ever been prescriped Xanax?
and yah i didnt know what it was due to the filename
these are older WebMs from the sticky
>>35924912
Deadlifts are the lift for sad people
>>35924947
you can lift all the weight in the world, but you cannot lift all the feels m8
gotta figure the feels out first before the weight
>>35924941
No. Only psychotropic prescription I've ever had is Prozac, which I'm currently on now at 20mg every morning. I've never even taken Xanax recreationally.
>>35924947
Hm, maybe. I'm an oly lifter tho.. Coach doesn't program them. Maybe I'll do some heavy doubles or something when he isn't looking, heh.
>>35924941
>hysen will never sit next to you in podium gold while rubbing his knees
>>35925025
i lift with two people who has, i could have too if i knew about wl back then but they already closed when i started ;(
>>35925012
find a way to taper off the Px drugs, you will create a dependency for the drugs. That is if you already are not dependent on them.
If you cannot figure out the bug in your body's script, you will be dependent on that patch for the rest of your life.
>>35925025
its whatever
>>35925025
>tfw this olympic level athlete is probably flipping burgers in albania because he got popped while the entire chinese team just pays off the right officials and never get caught
>>35925087
I'll be coming off this summer. Fluoxetine seems to do fuck all anyway.
IMO there's nothing wrong with being dependent on drugs though tbqh.
>>35925106
it fucks you up pretty bad when you are dependent on anti-depressants.
>>35925102
I dont know what abadjiev was thinking. It's like he didnt even know that the old methods of passing drug tests are outdated
>>35925099
>>35925122
Only when you get off, or if you're having an adverse reaction in the first place.
>>35925138
it's not abadjiev, hysen only trained with abadjiev for a couple months then he went back home to train for london, it's his albanian coach fault that he got popped for london and again after 2014
>>35925162
>>35925162
I meant to upload this pic actually, wrong one.
DELICIOUS
Tonight i babied my wrist so the snatches looked weird. It hurt really bad until i got to 92.
Also i'm swapping squats for pause squats because my squatting technique is fucking garbage and is holding me back. Front squat i'm going to continue doing normal though
>>35925170
no...

>>35925206
get some boxing wraps cut them to length i don't like using the whole thing it gets too thick the way i wrap, protect your ligaments in your wrists since those fuckers take forever to heal once they get fucked up, i failed a clean off the blocks last year and my wrists are still not 100% to this day
>>35925229
I have wrist wraps but i lent them out. It hurts on the outside of my right wrist
>>35925106
how long u been on it, talk to your doc/psychologist/psychiatrist whatever if u feel it isnt working
Sadcunt here.
How come when I push press, sometimes I do a bit of a power jerk, and when I do power jerks, all the time I fucking push press it? Is this evidence of retardation?
>>35925206
Can you make higher quality webms so that we see high quality face reactions instead of a big blur?
>>35925338
yes
>>35925338
its evidence that you still need to learn how to propperly push and extend the legs
>>35925332
Yeah, I have an appointment with her soon. I also plan to talk to her about having my testosterone levels tested (and other hormones, but mainly test).
>>35925361
Any tips then? The other day when I was doing light power jerks I found My arms were rebending as I dipped down, like they fully extended and as I went under the bar they got tugged out of extension and re-extended. Idk how else to explain it.
>>35925408
u the anon from north ontario?
yes get all tested cant hurt, usually it wont be just one single one thats messed up
it might be that you are dipping too fast and the bar is crashing on you, control your dip more and drive through the midfoot
>>35925430
Yes I am. I plan to get a thyroid screen, testosterone, estrogen and the two main gonadotropins tested. That should cover everything that's relevant.
Ah I see. When I dip (to push the bar off the shoulders) should I dip down really fast or no? I think that may be part of my issue. I'm going too fast I guess, at least for now.
>>35925352
Dunno
>>35925430
>>35925460
To add to this, idk why, but I find snatches and cleans quite intuitive, snatches even more so than cleans honestly. Idk why, but jerks I find so unnatural and unintuitive to me. It's weird to me.
>>35925460
>>35925469
slower yes
dw jerks are still wack for me ur fine m8
>>35925469
It's probably technique. Do you fully extend onto toes before splitting? Do you jump a lot?
>>35925460
yeah try doing with a pause at the bottom at first, that helps me keep my balance
>>35925482
I just did some "power jerks" without a bar or anything (aka jumping and moving around like a tard) slowly and it felt a lot better than when I do it fast.
>>35925490
I think it's just going too fast.
>>35925502
Yeah I'll try them with a pause. Pauses often help I find.
>hang clean triples
>with straps
come @ me
(I forgot chalk)
>>35925338
cue staying on your toes for light push presses, and cue moving the feet out on power jerks (that's what helped me anyway)
>>35925775
staying on your toes during the press*
also, looking up during push pressing helps some people do it right
>>35925804
I find on the "recovery" of the power jerk I tend to really look down instead of forward. Bad habit of mine
>>35925775
i like cleaning with straps, it forces you to meet the bar properly
i don't see a problem with it if you're not a retard, you can get fucked up snatching with straps too but because we don't see too many of those vids it's fine but cleaning with straps is bad because an american fuck got fucked up using them lmao
Front squats 166x3 + 166x1 + 160x3x3
>>35925963
yeah at least it's an easy habit to fix. There's a guy at my gym who bangs the bar so hard when he cleans that his arms were fully extended at its apex once, so it could be worse
>>35926387
Wat?
Yeah, at least I'm pretty good at snatches and cleans. Worst thing I have right now is not fully extending to catch it lower. But my clean and snatch are relatively good compared to my squat especially for a beginner.
Tho it's too bad my legs are weak as fuck and if I told you what I squat you'd laugh.
>>35926446
I doubt it, I'm squatting around 140 right now because my knee pain is back. For comparison, my clean is 125, so...yeah
>>35926459
Caladan go to powerlifting already and lift in wraps or something. You're gonna be an 80 yr old man by the time your 25 at this rate....
>>35926459
I PRed a 65kg power clean. Attempted 68kg but failed cuz didn't catch it deep enough, I could probably do a couple more kilo before it before it became full clean. I haven't really been doing the full lifts or maxing out on them because I'm newly training under a coach and he's treating me like a beginner for the most part.
I front squatted 65kg for 4 reps the other day too, and I hav gotten 70kg for 5 on back squat. Looking to get to 100kg (ideally for reps) by the end of winter. Trying to eat more, sucks that I only ate 2700 calories today.
/blog
Srry.
>>35926509
I am 25 and powerlifting is boring as fuck... I'm considering just squatting for volume and hovering around the 70% mark, saving heavy work for pulls
>>35926513
>pls b in london
>>35926513
from the sound of it you pretty much are a beginner, but the good thing is that with virtually no base, you can tailor your skills exclusively to WL
sounds exciting, anyway. I still tend to squat morning heavy because I'm so used to low bar from the PL days
>>35926530
I CANT HANDLE THE BANTZ COME ON.
>>35926545
I've been lifting a year tho.
Strength wise I am though, yeah. Strength gains have came very, very slowly.
>>35926572
well, get ready to eat more. I just had a 3kg bowl of pho and 2 banh mi sandwiches, probably around 3000cals
>>35925775
>>35926118
What do people say is bad about cleaning/snatching with straps?
>>35926636
>3kg bowl of pho
I FUCKING LOVE PHO desu, thank god for viet gf :^)
>>35926775
people get their tits in a tangle over it because there's a video floating around of some guy falling backwards with like 190kg and breaking both wrists
>>35926777
yeah same, gf is mostly chinese though
I got the house special, with rare steak, tendon, tripe, and brisket
HNNGG
the waitress looked at me funny and asked twice if it was all for me
>>35926815
Link video.
>>35926815
lmao, i went to this viet place and i was telling my gf to write down the large
>omg you arent gona eat that
um yes i am, but thanks for belevin in me :'(
>>35926775
Because you should practice your hook grip and cleaning with straps will snap your wrists the fuck in half.
>>35926263
But you need to be doing suber high volume to increase your front squat!?1!?1?1?
>>35926777
O. I thought when you said pho it meant food. Like some instagram term for food.
>>35926927
Why? Cant i must Front squat 5x3 heavy 4 days à week?
>>35926937
no pho as in the soup/noodle dish
pronounced fuh

he tried to bail by jumping behind the bar but he's strapped in, he should've just kept his elbows up and fell down with the bar it won't even touch his chest

High level lifters cleaning with straps.
I would not recommend it to anyone who's a begginer because the risk is not worth the reward.

This is part of beginner program form "Ultimate Olympic Weightlifting: A Complete Guide to Barbell ". Is this program good?
Campus gym doesn't open until 6am wew.
Really want to get in early so I can have the gym all to myself.
>>35927643
>>35927495
What do u do for chest breh I am mirin.
>>35925025
Was hysen ever formally banned 4lyf? Last I heard he been popped again like a year ago pending b sample
His style is wild. Dat knee valgus. Dat head throwing. I kinda like it tho. He's like an amatuer with rough technique expect a fucking monster
What are some good stretching resources? I'm already doing starting stretching but need to really work on my front rack position, ankles, hamstrings and hips
>>35929214
Hey, it's 6 senpai :) Go to the gym
>>35926513
Post this more m8 reading it once a day isn't enough :^)
>>35930061
He asked ;)
and you know I do it just to annoy you faggot
>>35930100
It doesn't annoy me lad, its funny
>>35930187
Hey, that's what I'm here for :)
Did you year I PRed power cleans for 65kg? Feels good man. I attempted 68kg but failed it. I thought the little yellow plates were 1kg but turned out they were 1.5kg. Went for it anyway. Heh, maybe next time I'll try 66kg! Maybe I'll even start micrloading squats with 1kg each workout??
>>35924892
Powarlifter here, I have a question. When I compete, they always load the bar with all the plates, and then put the lock collars on. Why do they put mircroplates on the ends outside of the collars?
>>35930302
The collars weigh more than micro plates and you load big to small in comp. Makes loading small jumps easier
Also with a calibrated comp bar and plates they're easily snug enough
For oly lifters
1pl8 = 75kg
2pl8 = 125kg
3pl8 = 175kg
4pl8 = 225kg
etc
>>35930419
What
>>35930641
1pl8 = Bar + Big red plate on each side + Competition collars
2pl8 = Bar + Two big red plates on each side + Competition collars
3pl8 = Bar + Three big red plates on each side + Competition collars
>>35930302
they weigh less than collars and they are friction plates so they wont ever slide off
>>35925130
shit clean
>>35930419
no. we don't say 1 pl8 2 pl8 3 pl8..... and if we do we're still referring to the metal 45lbs plates. If someone says I just squatted 4pl8 it means 405 universally.
>>35930419
also if you're talking Reds..... We don't use collars in training. Well at least 90% of people don't. Why would you include that?
>>35931151
Cuz competition
>>35931139
Nope this is new supreme Oly lift unique feature
>>35931179
you mean the place where they display the weight on a giant screen? Also 99.9+% of you're lifting wont be in comp.
>>35931386
Nah sorry, Im meming
I need help please
I skipped school to smoke weed and chill with a girl, I smoked and Im tripping out BAD TIME feeling and I just decidrd to go to the washroom and hide in a toilet stall and just wait for them to go and school to be over and go home
help me what do Icdo is my plan good? I cant handle this.. Just wait it out and go home later?? and hide from them?? Wtf do I do
>>35931609
She messaged me asking where I am WHAT DO I SAY
>>35930670
Why bother tho. Everyone knows 1pl8 really means 60kg and if ur an oly lifters you'd just say it in kilos anyway
And most lifters don't train with comp collars anyway just use change plates
>>35931076
Lol dickhead
Nothing wrong with it
>>35931632
You tell her youre busy shitposting
Also, it wouldn't benefit you to have 1pl8 as 75 m8, cos then you wouldn't even be cleaning 1pl8 with that sickening 65kg powerclean ayy
Are there any good biographies or books about lifters/lifting/strngth sport in general that aren't just technical coaching books?
Stuff like the white prisoner. I'm surprised there's not more.
>>35932040
Why r u so nice I jut realized what you said
Im tripling out cuz some guy came up to me ans acted semi-intimidatng but also kindly
and FUCK IM QUESTIONING reality ai guess I cant go on but Im really ot doing well.. In sitting in a coffee shop 9n ky ph9nw casually eating and freaking out, I think some1 put meth in my weed
>>35932466
What the fuck man, get your shit together
>>35932766
I am def
>>35927159
His arms are so short lmao, super strong dude though.
I think I'm going to completely replace back squats with front squats... They put way less strain on the lower back... I figure if i can do the 200-210 range I'll put up big classics.
How did you guys get into weightlifting? Do you lift by yourself or do you have a coach?
I went today to meet a coach, but i was dissapointed. He didn't make me do any technique work, made me do cleans straight away. I asked if i should do some technique work first to learn the movement, but he said that there's no reason because it will come with time. I felt like i was doing the whole exercise wrong, but he didn't really care about that. Was this because it was my first time there? How was your first time?
>>35933463
Shit coach desu
>>35933463
same, mine made me do firt power snatches than full snatches in like 1 hours and a half.
it works for some gifted individual, i took me 1 year and a half to have a half decent tech by learning this way
>>35933508
This is what i'm afraid of. He was talking about like 2kg progression every month, "But kid, its almost 30kg in a year, and nobody will progress like that year after year."
But come on, if i get the technique right, my progress will be much faster at the beginning. Why should i just force the bar up and build a bad technique, won't it be harder to get rid of it afterwards?
I really thought that he'd give me just the bar and make me do top-down progression like in every WL book. But no, straight from the floor with little information. He was old as hell so i also felt that he didn't really connect with me.
>>35933688
>has he coached a lot of good lifters?
what are his credentials?
My coach for example has coached the Canadian national team and he has a plethora of national level lifters under his belt....
but like if everyone at the gym sucks and he hasn't had a decent athlete in years look somewhere else...
>>35933688
You'd actually stall sooner or later due to technique faults doing it this way, find another coach or just go to his gym but learn on your own
Any of you ever do pulls with a weight youve snstched and wonder how you managed it? Maybe it's cos I do them after a ton of snatches?
Also set a 3 rep PR on snatch despite feeling shitty. This auto regulation 'try to set some kind of PR every session' seems to be working. Although only see my coach once a week so expecting a bit of a rough session soon
>>35934162
every time
>>35929483
he done
>>35934179
Glad to hear that desu m8
>>35927527
Where abouts in Aus are you from? Friends with this dude and his family.

>>35935200
i-is this WADA approved
>>35935230
i know... i had a gymnast helping me stretch the other night and her first comment after pushing down on my shoulders was
>oh wow.... your shoulders muscles are bigger than my hands (in a non-sexual way).... no wonder you're having trouble stretching....
I might just have to be more patient than other individuals even.. which is of course, not one of my strengths...
>>35935257
It took me over a year to get flexible..... Jerk recoverys are gold too! You can go over 100% of your jerk too
>>35935257
>her
what did you do next
>>35935400
stretched my hip flexors until near tears (exaggeration)
>>35935286
interesting. is this a good idea for some one who doesn't have the mobility for over head position?
>>35935419
Ya my shoulders are always a problem... When they get bad I can't even jerk 120 but then I can do jerk recoveries for 1 week and its back up in the 150s
>>35935471
I've done something similar using the rouge rig....
I've never jerked or push pressed more than 300 lbs / 136 kg.....
And i've never cleaned more than 245 lbs until recently....
should be interesting...
>>35924465
Is it true that Soviet athletes in the 1980's lifted more than the current world records? (Apparently there was a change in weight classes a while back.)
>>35935795
Yes. The doping was more extreme too which is also part of the reasons for the bigger lifts and the records being scrapped
>>35935818
Cheers m8
>>35935795
wasnt there some recent doping scandal with the chinese? is lu going to get stripped of his records?

A sprinter who medaled in 1996 (I think) wrote a letter saying there was state supported doping, we all know the top guys are on top drugs, but whether this will lead to any tangible proof of doping in Chinese wl remains to be seen.

>>35941919
i forgot how to speak russian and i don't feel like watching 35 minutes of videos
what is the routine
>>35941952
Five days a week.
For example, monday
1. Hyperextension with oly bar, 3 x 10
2. Power snatch
+ press behind neck
+ snatch grip overhead squat
3 x 2 + 2 + 2
3. Snatch grip deadlift from platform
+ snatch from platform
3 x 2+1
4. Snatch grip deadlift from platform
3 x 3
5. Snatch grip hrugs
5 x 5
6. Snatch grip overhead press
3 x 3
>>35941982
lots of snatch work
but no actual, basic, snatch?
>>35941986
Basic snatch at tuesday. Snatch with knee pause at friday
>>35942007
im not going to pretend like i know more about weightlifting than klokov but i would think its better for a beginner to do mostly classics with some accessory stuff after like pulls or snatch balance
>>35942016
>i would think its better for a beginner to do mostly classics
I thought beginner should do parts of classic lifts more and classic lifts rarely with low weights, just for technique.
>>35941919
>>35941952
Mon
Hyperextensions, 3x10, careful with weight (don't use too much I guess)
Muscle sn + btn sn press + ohs 2+2+2 / 3 sets going up in weight
Deficit snatch deadlift + deficit snatch, with straps 2+1 / 3 sets going up in weight
Deficit snatch deadlift 3 reps / 3 sets going up in weight
"Trapi" which are his swinging upright rows with snatch grip, 5x5 same weight
Snatch grip behind neck press 3 reps / 3 sets going up in weight
Tue

What weightlifting exercises are the most useful for beginners?
I am not a coach. From my experience, I would recommend the basic exercises: Squats, Pulls, and Presses with correct technique. When you see how people train, they have incorrect technique that doesn’t translate into Snatch, Clean, and Jerk. Weightlifting beginners (crossfitters in particular) should not start the classic lifts straight away because their muscles and joints are not ready.
