Does anyone have any insight into when Dmitry Lapikov will return??? His ban is over I think but he's 33 years old.... 217 snatch though. He's done 215 no straps pretty easily..... I want to see this guy compete..!!

wew lads
back from the gym
really glad i went to
i recorded my self and idenified a pretty noticable problem in my snatch that i'll have to get my coach to deal with
I've developed an interest in weightlifting and plan to join my university's weightlifting club when I go there in September.
Until then, I am squatting 3x a week (b:f, 2:1) and following 531 for the press, deadlift and bench to get some size and strength on me. I have a separate 4th day where I'm kinda playing around with weightlifting.
I don't have access to a coach so I've been trying to teach myself the basics of the power clean, but keeping it at that. My question is, how would you program that separate day for someone who's new to weightlifting? My thoughts have been to use 5x3 linear progression on the power clean once I'm comfortable with the movement, followed by some light overhead squats, and then heavy isometric overhead holds which is currently a huge weak point.
pic related: where my mobility is currently at.
>>35991875
use 5x3 for for most oly lifts, and for snatch training you can use 6x2. Doing these sort of movements for 5 reps a set just doesn't really work as you get too tired mid set to keep your form tight. For heavy overhead holds look into snatch balance or drop jerks etc. so many variations you can do depending on your mobility issue and stability. I'd also snatch and clean before other lifts every session if they are your goal to improve as one day of oly usually isn't enough technique work for a whole week.
What would I know though, I'm just some dude on the internet. A weightlifting club will do a better job of programming for you than I could so maybe just ask them before you go if you can.
>>35991875
why do you have to wait until september?

>>35991911
I'm gonna be going to uni in Scotland in september. Currently i'm living in the netherlands where weightlifting isn't big, so there's not a single gym in my city that trains for it. Of course there are crossfit gyms but the cost to get personal training for the oly lifts is ridiculous.
>>35991909
Thanks for some of that info.
But what's the general consensus on people attempting to snatch and clean without a coach. I don't want to develop wrong movement patterns, which is why I thought i'd mainly focus on strengthening individual components of the lifts so I'd have a good base for when I'd be taught the lifts.
>>35991997
>But what's the general consensus on people attempting to snatch and clean without a coach.
dont
>>35989727
>>35991944
>>35992000
What if you're doing it for fun and are not serious about competing?
>>35992017
Do it. It's not that hard anyways.
>>35991997
I do both without a coach at the moment, I used to have a coach but I moved to a shit city with no weightlifting at all. Regional australia is fucking worse for it than the Nederlands I bet. You really can teach yourself fairly well by posting form checks here and checking youtube videos, don't get your weight higher without being sure though. Also learn how to ditch out of a snatch and c+j, its the first thing you need to know to not die and its pretty straight forward. Including push press is more useful than OHP I think, do both.
>>35992000
It's been done, you just have to not push yourself into doing it wrong with high weights but eventually you will need a coach anyway.
>>35992017
whats probably going to happen if you teach yourself, is you'll do it for 6 months, get to the new gym and you'll spend another 6 months re learning it because you'll probably teach yourself incorrectly and there's nothing fun about that
can it be done? yes
how often do the people who do it succeed? not often
>>35991875
one other thing you might want to add in is what one of the guys at my club calls a "chinese press"
its basically a power jerk but your feet don't move
>>35992034
where in aus are you? i'm semi-regional qld and the club im at is great
>>35992037
I'm not the guy waiting til September, just someone who wants to do oly for fun and not have to pay for coachig unless it's absolutely necessary
>>35992155
well
if you're not interested in competing its fine i guess
>>35991997
Ik weet niet waar je woont maar ik doe ook oly zonder coach maar dan bij een crossfit gym
het is echt jammer dat het niet zo populair is in nederland
I hear OHP doesn't have much carryover to anything? So is it better to use a little momentum so like a weak push press?
How is best to increase OHP if pressing 3x week? TM style?
>>35991875
I wouldn't recommend to try to learn the power clean for now. You probably develope some bad technique habits, that are hard to get rid of later. Its also harder to learn to pull yourself under the bar and do a squat clean, when you have performed power cleans thousand times, thinking of pulling the bar up, instead of pulling yourself down.
Once you develope a bad habit, it can be veeery hard to get rid of it.
>>35992155
I don't think that its going to be fun.. It'll take long to get decent if you coach yourself. And the times when you don't notice those little things that your coach would, you end up stalling.. And stalling, and probably get a minor / big injury.
You might not notice mobility issues, or technichal issues which cost you lots of power, speed and joint health.
If you're not serious about it, just learn the power clean for power..
Or just ignore me and do it
>>35992060

I'm in Coffs Harbour nsw, gonna have to get a home gym in the next month as I'm not going to cross fit gyms for $40 a week just for oly. Where in qld are you? Xxxx is shit brah soz.
I used to live in Armidale and the pcyc there was all about olympic lifts it was awesome.
>>35992476
jesus
$40 a week? i pay $40 a month
>>35992495
I pay $11.50 a week for no platform, it fucking sucks. Home gym is the only option for me really but I think I'll like it.
How do you bail from a snatch when you know it's not happening?
>>35993199
either push it in front of you or let it swing back with your arms and get in front of it
Beginner oly lifter here
>>35993199
This is actually a scary scenario, hadn't really thought about it. How possible it is to fail this bad, if you have properly learned the exercise and been wise with progression?
How about clean? What happens when you fail a clean.. Does the bar come crashing to your knees?
>>35993974
practice bailing the bar behind you a few times if you want to get comfortable.
the worst you can fail a clean is not receiving it and it lands on your knees. really rare and probably wont ever happen once youve been doing it long enough that you can clean a considerable weight. sometimes youll fall backwards with it in which case just let it land, it wont crush you. dont try to press it off or youll fuck your wrists
if you see it coming, just move out from under the bar, either backwards or forwards
>>35994020
Thanks, that actually helped. I think that if you're afraid of these things, you haven't done enough quality reps with less weight. Once you start to hit the big weights, your body knows what to do, right?
>>35994040
pretty much. with snatch youre gonna miss a lot whenever youre pushing weight regardless of how comfortable you are, but its also easier to bail.
im an intermediate lifter and i occasionally fall back on cleans. first few times it happened i jammed my wrist trying to keep it off me but fortunately lightweight so no big. now i either see its coming and push the weight forward and jump back, or i let it happen
>>35990300

Nice. Klokov is amazing at Snatching.
>>35995084
Looks fine dude. You might wanna grab some weightlifting shoes though.
>>35995527
what are you talking about dude
I hurt my wrist a little bit again this morning because of these damn straps. The bar was cold so i decided to use straps. Everything felt shitty. Maybe it's because i have shitty mdusa wraps.
Look how slow my pull is yo. I did that on purpose. Just testing some stuff out.
>>35996098
Get some boxing wraps like I told you
>>35996149
I thought my wrist was fine now :^/
>>35994715
>that judges head nod
lose it everytime
Why so many use straps on snatch? Can't you do it with hook grip?
Never done snatches before
>>35996218
holy fuck, i just noticed that, lmao
>>35996230
Straps feel super uncomfortable for me
In competition you have to grip the bar six times. So if grip is limiting what you can do in training you are cheating yourself.
Did you know that knsu almost always use belt and straps?
>>35996292
Only manlets have problem with grip when hook tho
Look rostami was even using straps to warm up at worlds lol
Ur not really cheating yourself more like saving your thumbs if you don't have grip problems and comp is still far away I always strap
>>35996098
Space heater. Flip that shit on when you wake up, eat some breaky, and walk into a toasty garage gym.
>>35996361
>Ur not really cheating yourself more like saving your thumbs if you don't have grip problems and comp is still far away I always strap
I meant that you're most likely cheating yourself if you're not using wraps

Dude, if you're just going to do squats, presses, deadlifts, and power cleans, just do SS.
>My thoughts have been to use 5x3 linear progression on the power clean once I'm comfortable with the movement, followed by some light overhead squats, and then heavy isometric overhead holds which is currently a huge weak point.
1.) Maybe after you get the hang of power cleans, you start learning snatches and alternate power snatches with the power cleans.
2.) You're new. The best thing for YOU to do to help overhead strength and stability is to just get your standing press as strong as you can. Once you've exhausted simple LP gains, you can start to benefit more from specific "problem solving" lifts.
>>35994655
It would be handy if I could see your feet, but I can still pretty much guarantee you that you start with the bar too far out in front of you.
>>35996533
no
and dont do low bar squats
>>35996642
Yes
And do do lowbar squats.
>>35995489
>pull elbows up towards the cieling ala scarcrow
Great way to teach an arm pull.
>>35996669
Meh, this cue helps me keep the bar close without causing arm bend, you just have to make sure the person only knows to do that after hip contact.
>>35996361
commisar is a manlet though
>>35992238
not true at all. But it's important to do your OHP like you'd jerk - upright with no lean, and following all the upper body jerk cues like tight back and head through. Don't bother using it as anything except a strength and hypertrophy assistance, done whenever you feel you need more shoulder mass
http://yashathoughts.com/your-shoulders-are-weak/
>>35996824
yeah but i dont have trouble with hook
Best core exercises senpaitachi. With the front squat my hips shoot up how stop
>>35997766
idk for both but chek'd
For like the past two weeks i've been doing three sets of 20-30 leg raises and then a couple sets of crunches
>>35997809
How has that been working for you?
>>35997916
I dont feel a huge difference but i think it's helped me control the weights more. Wish i had back extension too
>>35997766
do what works for you, i like dragonflags
>>35997766
planks, ab roller, hanging leg raises, GHD situps
first two if I've squatted that day
second two if I haven't
>>35997766
Hanging leg raises are the classic choice for strengthening.
Decline weighted crunches are also useful.
Dragonflags are great, if you can actually manage to do them.
Planks are great for training the endurance (which is often a limiting factor on front squat sets).
And believe it or not, vacuums help a bunch too. Strong transverse abdominis allow you to generate and hold higher intraabdominal pressure during the movements.
If i can deadlift 195 how much should i be able to squat/fs?
>>35998132
different for just about every single person
I can deadlift 230 and my best squat is 160
Coming back from a long break (~7 months), How would I program to get back to my previous levels of strength and mobility?
I could go in and start snatching and cleaning, but my technique will suffer due to shoulder mobility issues, and my squat form was always kinda shitty (dive bomb, round hips) because I focused on weight too much.
I can't just... not lift until I regain mobility.
>>35998143
>tripfagging with numbers that low
here is your (You)
>>35998264
yeah I don't even know anymore m8. Whenever I start to try to get my squat up, my knee explodes or my autoimmune condition flares up. I've been trying to get stronger through pulls almost exclusively, squatting only once a week, because they don't hurt

I'll be totally honest with you, I do only dragon flags for abs BUT i want to use the hang leg raises...

wat do
>>35998473

>>35998473

hanging leg raises are just an ab exercise with hip flexion, you can pick literally anything else that fits the criteria

>>35998264
>spot the newfag
>>35996669
Don't pull your elbows up to the ceiling before you extend.
Then pull your elbows up to the ceiling
??
What is problem? You couldn't honestly think he meant to pull elbows up to ceiling from the starting position on the floor, surely.
Elbows high is a good cue to help keep bar close not loop
>>35998608
When you think "pull elbows up" premature armbend isnt really a problem
sometimes there's a pull to neck(chinese) vs elbows up(russian) arguement tho. i've heard people say that pull to neck makes people prematurely bend arms but that guy just doesnt know what he's talking about
>>35998264
>not knowing best trip caladan
>not giving your anus to his love
>implying you're stronger when you don't even lift
>>35998473
Maybe substitute them for literally any other abdominal exercise including hip flexion, or just fight your way through and use the sexual energy to best your PRs
>>35998638
Interesting, I prefer pull elbows up for me, but my shoulder mobility is shit so maybe I prefer it because of that

guys i was almost dies
I did 145x3 pause squat and then tried a double at 150 for one(remember that i'm working on my squat tek) and missed rep 2
then i had to go shit because i had the runs
then i came back and decided to warm back up from 135 and intended to go to 160
but when i reracked it i missed on the right side
got it on video too
i'm gonna go snatch now and then maybe squat again

I was meant to do 5x3 hang snatch at 80%, which was pretty hard. First two sets were OK, but I was rushing it and bar was looping a little more than I'd like. Second two sets I ended up powering everything, and on the last set I just failed 3 reps in a row. I think I tried to go for too high an intensity
then I made a 90% power snatch incredibly easily kek

Roman Chair situps are handy, and easy to add weight to by holding a plate or medicine ball on your chest.
>>35998608
I know he didn't MEAN that, but you tell someone to pull their elbows and, surprisingly, they're liable to pull with their elbows.
The elbow remains straight until the jump is completed, at that point, the job of pulling the weight is done, and people will instinctively flip their elbows under the bar and wind up in the rack position. Tell someone to do anything but keep their elbows straight through the pull is only going to ruin things
>>35999158
Do it out of a rack because any weight someone can press is going to be trivial to clean, and cleaning it in the first place guarantees bad pressing mechanics in the form of a suboptimal grip.
Otherwise, I'd hardly care about layback. Just being strict on no knee bend ought to keep it from getting too crazy.

NO NO NO
shit. jon north tier technique.
You do pull with your elbows you mongoloid
after extension you continue to pull with your upper body
also i did this squat today too but i really shouldnt count it. The whole point of this exercise for me is to not bounce in the hole. My 155 from Thursday looked much better

Have the same problem you do and love the home gym. There's one gym here with platforms and bumpers, and it's opening hours blow.

but i did that here for 3 pause reps u nerd
>>36001241
>>36000819
my squats looks very similar but my hips are very tight. squat bottom position isn't a really good indicator of your hip mobility imo cause you can cheat with lots of ankle dorsiflexion

no one at cal strength has good tech and john north has some of the worst
I think jun nurt has an elbow deformity that makes all of his jerks illegal btw

It pretty much happens without thinking about it, so there's not much point in thinking about it.
>>36001591
you dont jump on the clean
>>36001676
uhh then what is the triple extension part.......im pretty sure explosively using knees,hips and feet = a jump
>>36001715
no. in everetts book they talk about this.
One of the cues they use to teach people is to jump first, but then you have to learn to jump, but instead of using the energy to move yourself up, you transfer it to the bar. Its the same concept, but YOU do not jump - the energy that would have gone into you going up goes into the barbell instead.
>>36001715
extending the knees the hips and the traps
you're supposed to still be on the ground while you triple extend
Hey friends. I'm a general strength guy who's thinking about adding olympic lifts into my 5/3/1. I found this plan on another forum and would like to hear your take on it:
(lifting twice a week)
A
Power snatch 6x2/6x2/3x2, 5x1 (ramping up)
Squat 5/3/1
Bench 5/3/1
Chins
B
Power clean 10x1 with 60s/75s/90s rest between (sets across)
Front squat 5x3/7x2/10x1
OHP 5/3/1
Deadlift 5/3/1
Obv I would get the movements down before trying to push the weights.
>>36001798
only training twice a week or doing each workout twice a week?
>>36001798
That's super low frequency and it scares me because i'd see 0 progress
>>36001274
Yeah na elbows up is a cue for the snatch really, not the clean, if you can't tell then it's pretty clear you don't even lift.
But wait, then you say dumb shit like
>...until the jump is competed, at that point the job of pulling the weight is completed...
And can't you see that elbows up is only for once you have extended, not from the floor? Seriously?
What the fuck man if you don't even lift then don't post ffs
>>36001798
do it as much as possible don't even bother with sets and reps just try to do a bunch of triples and practice technique, you won't be doing any weight with it if you want to learn how to properly do it first, it won't affect your routine as long as you're just practicing the movement for not too long before you start the squats and other shit
and actually learn how to snatch and clean powers are not and should not be easier to learn than the full lifts because it's basically the same exact thing with different height where you stop the bar. the reason why most program do power shit is due to mobility defiency. dumbfucks on the internet just misunderstood that
you'd thank yourself later if you learned or at least tried to learn properly if you ever want to compete in wl full time
>>36001518
@Attitudenation pls go
>>36001591
Don't jump, pull with your upper body as you triple extend to pull yourself under
Tweaked my right upper hip, did squats yesterday
Stretched and foamed roll and it feels less retarded
Did i do something wrong? Im still really new to this sport
>>36001864
>>36001744
i am so confused.... what about when people make that loud stomp noise when cleaning?... isnt that a result from jumping....
>>36001808
>>36001812
Just training twice a week. I already do this for the slow lifts so I was just curious about whether I could add in the olympic lifts without having to go to the gym more often than I would like.
>>36001848
Yeah, the sets and reps were meant for after I get technique down. I'm probably just going to spend the first little while with the bar or at most like 40kg.
As far as doing the full lifts, I actually have thought about it (even though I don't plan to compete). I still might, but I'm pretty lazy when it comes to improving mobility.
>>36001921
try this right now, stand up on your tippy toes hip width as high as you can then move your feet out wider and land on your heels as you do. this shit would hurt barefoot if you weigh 100kg or more, but that's where the sounds come from, especially with wooden heeled shoes
https://www.instagram.com/p/sXfbfSramP/
the feet may separate from the ground for a moment but you don't try to lift yourself up like you would in a jump like others have said, you only pick your feet up to reposition them
>>36001997

blagh i really really really need to do some of these.
even when I'm "focusing" onpulling through with my arms it doesn' happen....
>>36002112
Ya man, I suck at them and I have to do a bunch of these warming up or my pull under also sucks
They really help tho
>>36002271
yeah. its really fucking annoying being this immobile and unskilled (personally)
it takes me literally about 30 - 45 minutes just to put 10 lbs on the bar and start doing shit. and then probably another 20-30 minutes until i get to any "real" weight (115-135 lbs kek)
such is life though
>>36002458
Don't worry senpai
I suck too
But if I can improve like I have then anyone can, even you
>>36002515
the amount of work one needs to put in to get to "ok" tier is really daunting.

I have no idea. I'm pulling archaic images out of a random folder i had tucked away in my /fit/ folder tonight.
>>36002658
I do that too sometimes, pic related
when you first started using hookgrip, did your fingers / thumbs / hands ever go randomly numb?
it mostly happens to me at night, but i can happen if i sit at the keyboard too long in the wrong position, or do some small motion repetetively.... its really annoying.
>>36002825
kek
>>36002887
no, never
you probably have bad circulation

in this video, he cought it where he wanted it, but then the weight wanted to continue backwards and he had to fight it in a shitty position.
was this because he did the "frankenstein" instead of "marionette" ? (elbows up)
was it because of his second pull? was it because both? were there any other things that could have caused it?
>>36002951
I don't find it very easy to diagnose max effort lifts, but it looks like the main thing that happened was that he wasn't keeping it tight when he received the bar
looks maybe like he didn't keep it close but hard to tell from this angle
I wouldn't use other lifters as a basis for your own form problems though
>>36002951
No it's because he's got wobbly ass shoulders lol. He should've dumped that shit rather than get injured for literally nothing if it was some important meet sure but he didn't die still stupid
You won't see the elbows come completely up like in the drills watch elite lifters, it's a cue like most cues in wl when you lift you won't necessarily see it happen but it's the intention of doing it is what matters
>>36002980
>I wouldn't use other lifters as a basis for your own form problems though
fair enough. i was thinking trying to pick things apart would be good but i think youre right and just shutting up and doing things and not thinking is probably best for me.

Even the work to get past absolute shit tier is respectable
>>36002825
I feel like I've seen this before, how long since we've had one of those threads?
>>36002887
No, only hand numbness I've ever experienced is due to being whacked on the hand. If it's anything other than the tip of your thumb then it's probably not caused by hooking.
>>35999955
Holy fuck!
>>36003123
probably ages desu
some guy made a youtube video about it that always cracks me up, wish I could find it

Kevin Ogar you mean? Different mechanism of injury you fucking window licker

Here's klokov talking about it:
About the jumping: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ts5essXg1Bc
About the shrugging (around 2:30): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGj5mXCpy6w
He's showing the snatch, but it's the same principle for the clean and the jerk.
He does call it "jumping position", just like pretty much everyone else, but it's not actually a jump.
>>36003165
Calling me and window licker? do you know what the lateralus vaporizer is? That's what he tore when he jerked it u idiot
Now he can't walk
>tfw scott is literally gonna literally kill max aita

How do you guys learn coordination?
>>36003261
Did max fuck charis lol
Or did she really test postive?
say im going to get coaching within a month. should i just call quits on sheiko now, drop all benching and focus on getting mobile with overhead squats and such? currently lifting 170/140/220 so i should probably keep working on my squat too?
>>36003328
From what I'm hearing yup. Max's the one claiming she got it from scott's seaman which is ridiculous.
so much gossip about this fuck. http://wlforums.com/forums/showthread.php?1070-2015-ao&p=35645&viewfull=1#post35645
>>36003356
Lol shits retarded
I was wondering why I haven't seen charis around
>>36003366
>max filed a goddamn restraining order against scott because he texted him and was like "if whatever drugs you gave her hurt her, I'm fucking coming for you" so coach's logical response was to call Oakland PD, tell them a "known drug user" was threatening his life
Fucking amazing
>>36003382
It's even more amazing when you know Scott has access to a gun and he likes Coke not the stuff you drink
>>36001676
>>36001744
>>36001763
You extend the knees and hips and then come off the ground. That is a jump.
>>36003382
this is making me laugh way too loudly at 1am
>>36001470
Yeah I might get a coach for occasional reference, I know of one crossfit place here and hopefully someone knows their shit. Thanks m8.
>>36003523
it's so great mostly because it's so believable, it's what I would see both people doing. Max is just petty enough to do that.

Your fs form probably sucks too.
But still, practice
>>36003655
I fucking love HG. shame they won't get credentials for Rio.
doubt it's bad, if so they wouldn't have two of their top 3 lifters doing them. also it's upper back mostly so less of a chance to fuck your shit up.

>>36003883
Lower
>>36003887
>>36003906
yeah agreed. that webm is about 3 weeks old and i feel like i've since improved both. anything else?
>>36003883
Go lower and don't hold the bar with your neck :p
Pointing your toes out a bit and opening your knees when going down can help a bunch.
Work on your ankle dorsiflexion mobility, it's pretty important to achieve depth and keep you from "falling forwards" when going up.
>>36003921
since when do you post in /owg/?
...what is your max c&j?
>>36003883
I guess you could go a little lower? seems like you recently unlocked 140kg squats.
Look at your feet though, a bit of forward lean, you can see your heel raise just a tad.
I have the same exact problem/same exact shoe/ height/ and squat right now. I am doing the same thing, be careful I fucked up my foot tendons doing too much forward lean.
>>36003921
angle can be a bit deceiving, bar has no contact with my neck. rest of the advice taken, thanks
>>36003936
well not that recently. im on the 6th week of sheiko with this same squat max so it has me doing 140kg 4x2 almost twice a week
>>36003930
C&J 63kg at 46kg bw

If you're talking about Edinburgh University you're in for a treat with the uni's gym, it's absoloutely phenomenal. There's so much provision for weightlifting and strength training in general. Jealous, I'd love to go back and study there again, intstead I'm stuck with my shitty commercial gym.
>>36000819
you can tell by widening your stance
in that pic is pretty obvious you aren't using any hip abductor mobility - you're sitting behind your hips not between them. good news is, your back is good while doing so, meaning you have good hip flexor mobility
>>36002887
when i first started oly (i also started with hg straight away for everything) i think my thumbs were numb for a few weeks (not no feelings numb but pretty annoying) it went away eventually tho

Hey /OWG/
I'm selling a pair of 2008 Adidas Ironwork 3 weightlifting shoes on Ebay.
They are in incredible condition and are still glowing white with all parts intact.
There are very few in circulation as the line was discontinued which makes them very valuable shoes.
If you might be interested, give me a message, it'd be my pleasure to talk with you.
