this current catalyst cycle is fun as fuck, PR on a different lift every workout. Dunno how sustainable it will be (1kg pr per workout minimum) but so far I've PR'd on (post illness) back squat and front squat, all time on psnatch and power clean/power jerk, hang snatch, and a few other rep PR's on pause front squats, etc.
Can anyone answer a few question about push pressing?
1. Which part of my foot do I drive from?
2. Do I want a large dip or fast short dip?
3. Do I press with elbows under bar or from a front rack position?
4. Should I be extending my arms only after I have fully extended my knees?
>>36504599
1. heels in contact with floor the whole time for push press.
2. slow controlled descent, max power ascent (like a normal drive).
3. elbows under bar, in jerk position.
4. yes, that would be the way to do it otherwise is becomes a power jerk.

When you do a high pull/snatch do you pull with arms at the top or do you just let them come up by pulling traps high
My coach said I let the bar loop because I pull with my arms on my high pulls to get it higher but I think it's because I let my upper back relax
>>36505613
Hey guys can I get a form check on my clean?
The jerk was terribad, but I know what I need to fix, the clean I'm not sure, I've been working on keeping the head up more (to tighten back) but that's the only thing I've been working on on the clean
https://youtu.be/95Lgk3sIxG4
>>36506270
Scalps depressed :^)
Bar loop is largely caused by bad pull through early extension. Pulling close will only solve so little
Arms are largely unused until the bar is past somewhere around belly button area. Then, shoulders should pull bar up/body under with elbows pointing up
No arms are involved in explosive movement

solid m8 8/8, just need to rack it better when u catch it but the jerk is your biggest problem. I suggest u dip slower before you drive.
>>36506452
Stop jumping those jerks yo
Chek tek guys
https://youtu.be/1uOnNoh3JBY
>>36506468
Noted need more control on the dip, do you have any way to practice better racks or do I just need to do more cleans?

By jumping you mean splitting before full extension right?

>>36506508Duno just try to be consient with elbows up during FS so you ingrain catching it upright instead of caving.

Fucking dumbasses out here

Kek, na he's right I didn't like the look of my arms during my rack, and during fsquats I rack using my jerk rack so his advice helps

hey me too
how often do you guys grind reps? on squat? pulls?
>>36504599
push from midfoot or ball of foot, fully extend onto toes or whatever
decently long but still be a fast lad on the way up
front rack
yes
>>36507404
what r ur lifts and bodyweight?
>>36508524
Very rarely, maybe on a squat pretty, never on a pull. Speed is k-k-k-keyyyyyyy.
>>36506930
das gay
>>36507067
shez dont worry about elbows up remember to keep chest up instead
I don't know what y'all are talmbout with this 'scapulae retracted' in the front rack biz. How are you maintain a rack like that? How are you remaining conscious? I get light-headed just holding that position with nothing on my shoulders.
Protraction for fast action, bbs.
>>36508663
I cue elbows up in clean and it donest seem to help with back colapse
Should I try chest up and not worry about elbows?
>>36508765
Yeah, that was a big help for my front squat
>>36508750
U need to learn to lift m8
>>36508770
Does it work in clean too when ur catching or just unracking from da rack?
>>36508784
as long as i keep my chest up the entire time it works
>>36504085
Gregg's a very knowledgable guy, I did one of his 9 week programs and put 10kg on my snatch (95->105) and got my clean to 135.
He just released his newest edition of his book which looks very tempting to buy.
>>36506793
Took hours to make this webm (mainly because I'm dumb and was trying to manually make a tracking mask, when all I needed was to use the automatic warp stabilizer).
>>36508871
why do you make webms of shitty lifts. her clean pull looked bad and she was pressing out in the jerk too
op's vid is jumping forward too
only perfect lifts allowed
>>36508940
Ye this guy gets it
>>36504790
go back to fraud
>>36504731
>heels in contact with floor the whole time for push press
Not this. Weight should be on mid foot like in snatch and clean and jerk. Going on toes is perfectly ok to get extra strength (Push press is supposed to mimic the jerk, only difference is instead of splitting and dropping you simply keep pushing)
>slow controlled descent, max power ascent (like a normal drive)
However you jerk. If you dip short and quick do that, if the opposite do that. You want to dip low enough in general that the outter quad is used, not just the 'tear drop' whilst keeping butt back. (think vertical bar path)
>>36509001
>Push press is supposed to mimic the jerk
When will this meme end
>>36508940
Her bar path is better than most, she just has her weight a bit forward through out both lifts which is pretty common even at professional level.
>>36509012
Is this a joke?
>>36508774
You need to learn about anatomy, sonny.
is my form ok, feeling loose on my back quad
>>36509012
trappy put trip back on
push press for jerk is the muscle snatch equivalent of snatch
the drive and execution is the exact same as that of a normal jerk

>>36509134
I can't tell with all those clothes on ;)
>>36509172
They are very, very clearly protracted when the bar is actually in the rack, loaded on his torso.
>>36509245
Exactly what I was trying to show.
I'd advice keeping them somewhere between neutral and protracted, depending on personal preference.

Is Lu's inability to keep his scapula retracted in this front squat a sign of shoulder immobility?

>>36509392
Newfags get >>>/out/
>>36509389
You've got this backwards.
Lu is a world level lifter, he's not immobile.
He obviously does not want to keep his scapulae retracted in the clean.
Why would you want that anyway?

Any tips for catching snatch lower? Clean is fine. I just have issues with comfort overhead. Sometimes when I catch it low I go too low and lose tightness, weight goes far back on the heel, etc, getting my close to losing it or making me lose it.
Any tips?
>>36509446
need more external rotation to use a wide grip on rack pos
if you can't do heavy front squats with a snatch grip & scalps depressed you are not mobile enough
>>36509594
>heavy load on the shoulders
>better depress my scapulae
kek
>>36509594
1) You mean internal rotation.
2 ) Again, I ask, is Lu not mobile enough, then? China numbah wan can't seem to do either. Fucking weird.

>>36510147
so r u saying i should pull my shoulders back and down when front squatting, supporting the weight on my collar bones/windpipe?
by retracted i don't mean violently pinched like during a bench press or anything
it's literally just open up your chest and roll shoulders back
>>36510176
damn i'm getting meme'd hard yo
>>36510193
shouldn't be on windpipe
bar rests across front delts and collarbones
if it's blocking your windpipe then your mobility is just bad
>>36510147
use jpeg, you shitposting namefag
>>36502991
My right calf hurts after back squats, what could be the cause? It feels like it's muscular, it's pretty sharp, it's distributed pretty much evenly across the further right muscle. I'm thinking it could be that my knees are too much inward at a certain point but I haven't noticed it and my knees don't hurt. I don't think I put my weight on my toes.
>>36510203

>>36510241
>windows saves them as png hehe
>using windows
>>36510251
>people are different
that supports my point, no?
have you tried maybe retracting your scalps so your neck can sit back slightly to prevent blocking your windpipe in the first place?
>>36510222
Try tucking your chin and pushing your chest up, maybe it's blocking your windpipe because it's too far forward.
The bar should be behind your front delts.
>>36510302
That isn't my trip you fucking idiot.
Mistyped it, sorry.
>>36510302
Retracting does the opposite, you shitposting namefag.
Protraction creates more room between your neck and your front delts.
>>36510358
I'm not anon, I have no trouble with cleans/front squats.
My point was that bodies are different, and not everything works the same for everyone.
>>36510391
>implying pent ever speaks in a vulgar tone
you sure are bad it this
Not again...
>>36510417
Are you so sure faggot?
>>36510413
retracting makes it easier to push your neck back
try it!
stand up straight and push your neck back as far as your can
your body retracts your scapulae for you!
protracting does give you more room, but that also gives you a not-tight upper back, as well as a forward center of gravity
retracting allows you to push neck back while keeping tight upper back and centered gravity
that's a 3 in one package!
see what kinda deals in life you can find by not thinking linearly?
>>36510033
is this video on youtube? cant find it

>>36510454
>stand up straight and push your neck back as far as your can
>your body retracts your scapulae for you!
No, it doesn't, the body naturally protracts.
>protracting does give you more room, but that also gives you a not-tight upper back
Thoracic extension is what matters; the spinal erectors don't give a shit if the shoulderblades are retracted or not.
>protracting does give you [...] as well as a forward center of gravity
Do you actually think that your arms moving an inch forward matters?
You're so fucking stupid, holy shit.
>>36509134
sit on my face
>>36510454
Should I start protracting my shoulders to create a larger shelf for the bar
>>36510572
you should do everything deliuge tells you
>>36510454
if i retract my scapula my delts move downwards and backwards
when my scapula are retracted my delts are lower than my collar bones
>>36510600
>if i retract my scapula my delts move downwards and backwards
Then you're retracting and depressing.
Retracting is still a retarded idea for front squats or cleans.
>>36510600
In front rack position? How extreme are you?
>>36510600
This is good, listen me too (deliugee)
>>36510528
>No, it doesn't, the body naturally protracts.
retract then protact your scalps while looking at the mirror from the side
protacted angles your neck forward, while retracted angles it upward
>Thoracic extension is what matters; the spinal erectors don't give a shit if the shoulderblades are retracted or not.
retracted scalps play a big part in keeping tight upper back m8
>Do you actually think that your arms moving an inch forward matters?
it does, actually
a lot
lol
especially if there's a lot of weight
would you trust more if i was 160/200 at 77? cus one of my coaches is and i'm just saying what he told me

>>36510791
>retracted scalps play a big part in keeping tight upper back m8
No, they don't, "mate".
Nobody deadlifts heavy with retracted shoulderblades.
>it does, actually, a lot, lol, especially if there's a lot of weight
If you protract, the weight of the barbell can be closer to your bodies center of mass.
The only mass that gets closer to your bodies c.o.m. during retraction is that of your arms, which doesn't matter at all.
Just say "muh coach said retraction helps for some people in the fs/clean" and stop posting nonsense.
>>36510844
his point was for fs/clean retardo?
lmao no good deadlifter can keep their upper back tight are you retarded? because the lift pulls it out of position
why do i have all these imposters...
i didnt ask for this
>>36510844
wl don't deadlift m8
all chinese lifters clean pull with depressed scalps
>If you protract, the weight of the barbell can be closer to your bodies center of mass
incorrect
also my coach said everyone should retract so ye
this fs was especially bad, more than just the angle
my dad moved the lawnmower in the garage and now it's in a place where it will get hit with the end of my bar on heavy cj
i think i might get kicked out of my garage because i'm destroying the floor even with this platform apparently

>>36510116
Like 2months
what lifts can i do with a tweaked back, cj/squats hurt them but snatches are fine for some raisin
>>36511018
nope
elbows forward is protracting
flaring elbows out is the motion of retracting
elbows up is for tight lats
try it

Protraction to neutral is not the same as having the scaps in retraction.
>>elbows out

No, if he said "retract your shoulderblades", that would be literally retracting.
You're misinterpreting.
What makes you think I said "retracting scalps is a shoulder exercise"?
>>36511072
what happened?
>>36511320
i might get kicked out of my gym
>>36511316
lad who cares
protracting deviates the weight forward, if you want to have a rounded upper back be my guest
I max today and I was just wondering, how many minutes I should wait after finishing Snatch to start on the Clean and Jerk
>>36511316
you mentioned shoulder relaxed = retracting
i've tried to make my point but nobody is taking it and i need to study now so i concede i was wrong and you are right keep scaps protracted for them good gains
ye
>>36511368
lad who cares
protracting doesn't deviate the weight forward and it doesn't round the upper back.
Spinal extension and scapular position are two different things.
>>36511389
>you mentioned shoulder relaxed = retracting
No, I didn't.
>you are right keep scaps protracted for them good gains
I didn't even imply that.

>>36511964
keep your knees more outward, try to get the inflection off the rise of the jump
on your first pull, keep elbows tight and back, a good que to work on

I snatch with a dead lift bar btw.........

Don't you mean like that klok vid where he says elbows up not back?
>>36513113

>>36513150
Oh lol I meant the same, I just suck at explaining
>>36513150
Wait did you see after I stabilize, I push the bar back a bit, that's bad right?

>>36513698

Are there any succesful weightlifters who were strong before they got into the sport? Or do all the best train from child?
>>36514627
what do you call successful?
cause i know anthony pomponio for one (best 85 in the US i think) was just a full on BBer before Wling
lu xiajun was in track before WL
>>36502991
When doing snatch-grip deadlifts should I lift the bar like I'm doing a snatch or like I'm doing a deadlift?
>>36514539
Who the fuck r u duecheyluigi?
>>36514668
>lu xiajun was in track
that's like saying klokov was judo these wl did gymnastic
this kid run around the lot a lot b4 train
it's stupid they still started very young lu started 14 not 16 or 19 that people used to believe
>>36514627
there's american lifters who put up good numbers but no olympic medals mark henry and shane hamman, now there's another merica dude who's very strong and is putting up big number wes kitts
also if you look at all broz lifter they all put up huge numbers for the amount of time they've trained but those are all very talented athletes

All elite athletes I've seen do them like a deadlift, not like a snatch.
I used to like mattie but look,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClUAWvzlJh4
I fucking hate shit like this, le mental aspect and power of will!!xD
Why do they act like weightlifting is so much more than it actually is, especially girls. Everyone seems to be some fucking next philosopher too.
>>36516092
Several decades of lifting, more than a decade of steroids.
>>36517061
guys do this just as much if not more
muh iron life
>>36515847

>>36517818

I go to one, so you're a liar
>>36517973

>>36518014
I know that feel
Best knee sleeves for weightlifting?
>>36514627
Shane Hamman squatted 1000 before he took up weightlifting. Looks like his lifetime PRs were 196/238
how do you make the bar lift off at the crease of the thigh instead of mid thigh in a clean? i always end up bouncing the bar off mid thigh.
>>36518122
Grip width
>>36518252
can you post some slow mo cleans trappy
and i dont think that would work well... my grip would be huge.
>>36518122
Why do you want it to hit at the crease of the thigh?
>>36518122
Mid thigh is the appropriate place to make contact.
>>36518301
Then don't aim for the crease of the thigh. Really, it all depends on your anatomic proportions. Do what feels "right" for you.
There are lots of slowmo vids on hookgrip's channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/hookgrip/search?query=slow
>>36518311
is that not were it last hits before it flies off?
How do I catch snatch in a deep squat?
I seem to be catching it a bit above paralel. I guess I'm just not comfortable in the bottom of the squat with the bar overhead?
What excercises will help me catch low?
>>36518383
For most people, the clean contact happens anywhere from mid to upper thigh below the benis.
But then again, it's all about proportions. Compare Xiaojun's contact >>36506274 to Ilya's contact >>36518371 >>36509354 to Klokov's contact >>36505469 >>36505479.
>>36518383
I really wouldn't think of it in terms of "hitting" and "flying off", and no. Mid thigh is where the bar should make contact.

>trappy will die in a Brazilian political protest in your time
Feels good man
>>36518430
Brazilian political protests are peaceful senpai.
>no oly gyms nearby
>buy 2500 worth of gear
>find out some trainers at my gym are starting their own club
>already have biz license, branding, few spots
>just became a co-owner of a weightlifting club
wow
been getting a lot of hate and trolls from /owg/ as of late
if this keeps up i'm just going to stop posting here
if you guys still want advice, i advise you to help out and shut haters down
otherwise, i'm gone. end of story.
>>36518411
i have another question, how come it always looks like the bar bounces off the thighs in all sorts of videos but it doesn't? and doesn't the bar path go forward during the extension a little bit?
>>36518505
this doesnt sound like pas desu
>>36518448
and man thats actually real nice
>go to WL gym
>pull on/row the bar too much
>people always comment on it
>see Lu doing the same thing in those webms
is this just another method/style?
Should I tell them to eat shit next time?
