Well back in the old days you could pull that off since people weren't as good/steroids weren't as good. Maybe one of the sailing events, but that doesn't really get you proper respect.

Also I do look manlier than you, why don't you do the 6 AMRAPs of curls that the chinese recommend after each workout
>>36819432
>I just couldn't get the technique down
every good power/squat jerker is able to split just fine, they didn't just give up on it immediately.
>>36820724
Why would I bother working on my footwork when I can power/squat jerk more weight anyway. I also have a nagging hamstring/glute injury that makes the split position very awkward.

Poor durkz
So I'm new to WL, just following a general strength program, heavy emphasis on squats, pressing and rows.
Right now, I'm using bar and bumpers for everything so 30kg for about 2 months. I've been told to do keep doing this by my coach to ingrain patterns and consistency.
I'm having trouble extending/jumping and being explosive (for lack of words) with my ankles in the clean and snatch. I've been doing hang snatches and hang cleans to help fix it.
>Is this ok still or should I be pushing to add weight?
What are some correction exercises for this that I could do with maybe a heavier weight or is hang fine?
>>36821160

Does Broz work his athletes to a single in both classic lifts + squat each session, or just one classic + squat
Thinking of doing power cleans again.
How can I do them (or cleans) without putting too much pressure on the knees?
What about high pulls?
>>36822179
both iirc
AM - sn, cnj, fs
PM - sn, cnj, bs
i forget if he does fs or bs first in one of the sessions
also power variants tue, thur, and maybe sat

>>36822716
pls respond >>36822181
>>36822722
pulls are pretty easy on knees imo
power cleans I never really find are bad, but with full cleans I try to pull really hard and catch a little higher, this helps me completely avoid bar crash and I have a smooth transition that is comfy on joints
>>36822752
thanks!

This is my first time posting in this general.
I'm having a horrible problem and I just can't figure out what to do.
I cannot fix my buttwink no matter what I do.
I have hyperlordosis and no amount of foam rolling and hamstring stretching seems to make a difference.
Everyone intelligent that has looked at it has told me to do more mobility work, but I'm obviously doing something wrong
Any suggestions or experience with a problem like this?
>>36824070
>That stick figure doing 5lbs curls in the background

i give you a solid r8 out of 8
>>36824070
bar a bit loopy and you caught forward
sn/bw?
>>36824193
dunno why the fuck you're stretching hamstrings with an extended lumbar - which naturally stretches the hamstrings and shortens the hip flexors
stretch your hip flexors nugget, stop paying attention to hamstrings
>>36824317
Every wannabe youtube guru says buttwink is a hamstring problem
Which stretches would you recommend?
Just basic things like the warrior stretch?
>>36824353
just look up hip flexor stretches and make sure that you are in posterior pelvic tilt when you do them. Basic stuff like lunges and the death stretch generally help
>>36824193
Fellow Lordo here.It looks like I'm on my second trimester all the time with my belly protruding out, my lumbar arcd and my duck butt.
Strengthening my lower lats is what I am focusing on. Have tried Psoas stretches and hammies/legs in general...still have it. But stopped foam and lung stetches on the daily though..gonna pick back up again.
Do you have any lower lat muscle to speak of. Also, you got weak abs?
>>36824317
Hammies might not be the answer to lordosis but an extended lumbar deosn't stretch them naturally. My toe touching ability was shit 4 months ago, and with regular toe touching and some yoga stuff i am a lot more flexible and not so tight. Tightness doesn't help anything and ext lumbar doesn't loosen hamstrings.
>>36824461
that doesn't mean you'll have flexible hamstrings, it means that the hamstrings were lengthened. Essentially you'll be just as bad at touching your toes, but the hamstrings happen to be longer because the glutes are further away from the knees. Stretching hams won't hurt but if you're doing that instead of addressing the real problems like weak core and shortened hip flexors you're not going to get any better
>>36824437
Everything is weak
I can't even do one plate without buttwink
I can squat 3 plate completely atg, but it's ugly as shit
The reason I thought it was hamstring related is that I can hit depth, but it rounds at the bottom
>>36824504
How long would you suggest doing hip flexor stretching before trying to squat again? One month? Two?
>>36824237

>>36824623
just keep squatting lightly, and improve mobility 10 min dynamic and some short static (<30 sec) before lifting and take 20 minutes after lifting
do you have a form check

put the mask back on, that was too painful

Buttwink is from ANKLE inflexibility mostly
If you shift more eight through the midfoot and push knees forward it will dissapear, this also needs to be done in conjunction with with hip, quad and glute stretching to achieve a good squat position
>>36818964
those elbows are going to get dislocated.
See im not the biggest shit fuck here.
>>36821344
>all these fags pretending to be me
Clean and jerk 50 kg
Clean 55 kg
Snatch 35 kg(working on getting under the bar)
OHS 45 kg
Press 45 kg for 3
Most I've squatted is 85 kg for 3 reps
Doing WL for a couple months, lifting 9 months.
>>36825356
not really m8, I mean you're not wrong in that everything's related, but you can have shit ankle flexibility and still squat ATG with no buttwink, you'll just have a lot of torso lean. Likewise you can have good ankle dorsiflexion but if you have tight glutes that don't let you keep the lower back straight, you'll cave.
Ankle and hip flexibility are fairly interchangeable though in order to be proficient you need both. The reason I talked about hip tightness is that when you're lordotic, or in APT, you're shortening the hip flexors.
How can I improve my power clean form?

>>36825854
Stop doing them in front of mirror and stop doing the stanky leg before you lift

front squat
Day 3
snatch
clean n jerk
front squat
Day 4

Big difference in iwf, IOC, wada sanctioned testing and on the spot testing by a national body
It's the reason why crossfit and ufc is full of juice, they only test in comp, probs only the medalists

They do random tests, pre and post fight tests
While that is happening most still get away with juicing

kids at the school i trained at had to be v careful about eating food outside the school (china pumps meat full of hormones), so obv scared of ban
im not sure how ooc testing works, but there is def comp testing
Guys I need some help. I don't practice enough because I'm scared my lifts will drop. (2 Months learning so far).
I really want to put a lot of effort into weightlifting and get good at it but I have no idea which program to run.
I am 77kg BW, 130kg BS, 105kg FS, 65kg OHP.
What program can I do while still having a heavy emphasis on squats(10k/month gain?)?
My problem comes because my technique isn't good and consistent enough yet so I have no idea how to progress and if it's even worth doing if my tech is still improving?
I also have a lot of overhead stability problems.
>>36828517
>I don't practice enough because I'm scared my lifts will drop
wat
>>36828565
I mean. I don't have a routine because of what I mentioned. My technique really isn't consistent since I'm still learning and I have no idea how to progress on programs when my technique is hit and miss?
>>36828580
at that stage you don't necessarily need to do a specific program. just keep squatting (and pulling, pressing, etc) and get lots of reps in with good form on the snatch, clean and jerk.
>>36828598
Ok thanks. I'm only doing it with bar and tech plates so 25kg.
How many reps would you call lots of reps and when should I add weight because I've been told that lots of good lighter reps is much better for form?
I want to practice 5x a week.
>>36818964
mate, you don't have to keep your arms locked when dropping the barbell. you're just bashing your legs for no reason.
this week gonna be really hard bros, pray 4 me
>>36828580
trust me m8, as anon said you shouldn't be doing a full program till you have reasonable tech. I was missing lifts at 70% because I was trying to get on a program asap and it was awful, no progress.
I spent a few weeks just working purely on tech and then started a routine, and at this stage I never miss anything below 85%, and even then I only miss if it's the last rep of a triple or something.
Just do lots of light singles around 50% and really work on all the cues that you've been picking up. You'll just "know" when you've done a good rep because everything will feel effortless and you will feel as if the bar is sitting perfectly above your head.
>>36828822
I believe in you brah
>>36828822
how come
any recommendations for a wrist wrap lads? I think I'll save a lot of money by buying one instead of paying for new rolls of athletic tape every week
>>36829380
buy boxing wraps and use them for your wrists instead
>>36829407
>tfw i had boxing wraps but i lost one of them
shieet
>>36829426
try on one wrist and tell me how it worked out
because im thinking of getting boxing wraps too they seem more convenient and cheaper. But maybe they are too long
>>36829490
You can get shorter ones, or just cut them and sew the ends. They work really well IMO and they're cheap

you can just cut them. and I'm wrapping both wrists now, lel
>>36826598
It's in the book.
If you post your drive account I can send it to you through there. I don't feel like making a dropbox right now.

i think its important to be pragmatic when it comes to weightlifting and having a simple exercise selections like >>36821304
is more than enough for most people. lots of people think they need special individualized programming or think they need to squat more than others but thats silly
>>36830759
pragmatic meaning using your common sense and auto regulation instead of relying on random studies u find on internet
>>36826598
here u go
now someone buy 3rd edition and upload the pdf for us

i dont know why everett would appeal to any of you
>>36831031
why do you think im not paying for his book?
kek
>>36831031
what are you trying to say
>>36831031
this is an article by Jung Byong kwan who is one of the most influential weightlifter/coach. the article talks about the basic principles of training and nutrition.
the pic says that lifters should always try to beat 1 or 2 personal records every week (on mondays or fridays). you shouldnt always go for snatch or cj but do like:
week 1 - snatch and press
week 2 - back squat
week 3 - high clean
he says the more you attempt for pr, your bod can get use to the weight. he says if a weightlifter does training for full year and takes two months off as vacation you would do 40 attempts.
>>36831169
why would you do everett program when you can do this >>36821304
ive been exact same as that with hang and i have 91kg snatch and 120 clean within little more than 2 months of training
pic related day 5 is exactly the same as what my coach in korea described how the tonnage should be
>>36826288
>implying
>>36831347
You're acting like that's the only way to progress
Everett has produced OK lifters. People have made gains on that program.
I'm.not arguing that you can do a nice simple program, and I agree many people should, but the main thing is doing something and doing it consistently.
also please don't imply you've gone from 0-90snatch in 2months. You've been lifting on and off for ages and was squatting 180 ages ago
>>36831469
i squatted 206 with pl belt and 190 without belt 3 years ago i squatted 185 sometime ago as well
i weightlifted on my own for like 3 months
and i got coaching in korea for an year
now im on my own for 2 months
>You're acting like that's the only way to progress
i never said this
>Everett has produced OK lifters. People have made gains on that program.
i never said anything against this
>but the main thing is doing something and doing it consistently.
i dont disagree with this
youre assuming the dumbest thing, i think that the exercises everett puts into his program is unnecessary and if they dont properly how to do those movements (like "scarecrow" clean and muscle stuff) is it worth doing by themselves
i bet youre the same guy who thinks i hate american weightlifting
>>36831601
I'm not that guy. You're just very defensive. Those excises have a place, but yes I agree probably a hindrance more than a help for most people.
I guess individual programming needs to be born of a real need for it rather than for the sake of it.
Sorry I upset you penty
>>36831347
5 days is exactly as my chinese coach described too
even full time athletes in china do not do the 6 days approach
>>36831927
The non-manlet lifters up north do :^)

sometimes they train on thursdays, but never full on sessions
>>36832044
Ye same
Do any of you older/less flexible lifters sometimes struggle dropping under a snatch? I'm always struggling with it but today felt so tight I just couldn't. Couldnt hit 95%, hit about 88%
C&j upto 90%
Everything just felt poopy
Im curious as to what you guys think about doing planks but with a band like this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8r4f5LxAbzw [Embed]
Seems like a sound progression to the plank.
>>36829350
had to put my pupper down, volume increasing, school/work
Today wen't okay though, only missed one power snatch and a clean. Might post a vid later.
>>36833086
>missed reps
>today went ok
what a pleb
>when you progress on squats and but stall on pulls because no chalk allowed
what are /owg/ endorsed straps?
>>36833216
Ur mums lingerie work fine for me :^)
>>36833216
Mix the chalk with alcohol
>>36818742
I'm fairly new to the oly movements and can now power clean/power snatch well in addition to the overhead squat & front squat (full depth, proper rack posish, romaleos, everything). However I'm having difficulty blending the front squat into the nadir of the clean and the overhead squat into initial part of the snatch.
Got any general resources/vids for explaining ways to transition from the partial clean/snatch to the proper competition style?

Going to get a Texas bar or stealth thoughts guise? Which should I get?
>>36833795
Needle bearings are pretty great, and considering the increase in price is just 15U$...
>>36833744
Do you have any of yourself in lingerie?
>>36833829
Shit needle bearings are worse than bushings
If you're going needle bar it's gotta be decent needle bearings or you're wasting your money just to have 'needle' in the description
>>36834036
Could you post some links to some owg approved bars?
>>36834069
Get an IWF approved bar if you can afford it.
>>36834036
I've never seen shitty needle bearings in my life to be honest.
But in any case, shitty bushings is even worse. So...
>>36834069
I'm not expert mate, but for 200-300 dollars you might not have a lot of choice
I think commie has a rogue he seems happy with. I've used a pendlay, strength shop, again faster, and eleiko. Obvs the eleikos are the best. Pendlay bar was decent. The AF team bar is not bad at all for a crossfit/multi purpose bar. Strngth shop bar broke very quickly
Heard very mixed reviews.of the klokov bar. Dhs seem to be leddits meme bar.
>>36834108
You probably haven't seen many bars then
Loads of bars that say they have needle bearings, especially when mixed with bushings, are cheap as fuck. A 200 dollar needle bar is a million miles from a proper comp bar
>>36834092
Waste of money for the sticker
You can buy the exact same spec bar that's a 'training bar' just cos they don't pay for it to be licenced. I think it's maybe taishan or ueska or someone who do this and it's miles cheaper for the same bar basically.
>>36834108
Actually that's probably not true. Shitty needle bearings fall apart quite easy if there's any sort of lateral force applied, which is probably gonna happen.
Even shit bushings are quite tough. The problem with bushings is they don't spin so nice, but aslong as you get a few rotations out of it it should be ok to train on
>>36834122
I have pendlay
>>36831417
but you can't
>>36834157
Bars are very expensive here, so those that have needle bearings are usually good quality (and extra very expensive).
>>36834184
That bar has both needle bearings and bushings though. So even if you lose some of the needle bearings, which shouldn't happen, you still have the bushings.
The 15U$ difference in price seems worth it to me.
Though I have no idea about the brand or their quality. Just judging from the stats on both bars.
>>36833744
only if u give rare deliuges first
>>36834241
Agree with u there for 15 dollars
But, I'd probably not go for either bar and put a little more on a pendlay or something
>>36834221
Which one? A lad at our gym has one and it's nice but the knurling is so so mild it's crazy
Works well with chalk tho and doesn't eat my skin like.an eleiko, also set my.current pb's on it so can't complain
>>36834460
someone at your gym bought his own barbell to bring to the gym and lift with?
>>36834661
Yes... It's common in gyms with shit bars m8
We have a club bar, he has a bar, and the general bars are passable but a bit fucked
>>36834784
your gym has autismo
>>36834030
I don't have any :^(
>>36834275
Whaddya want
How rare we talkin here

I'll leave it up to your imagination ;^)

>>36835769
Let's say I weigh ~180lbs what is your recommendation for weights to lift before entering comp for snatch and clean and jerk. Obviously I don't expect to be a national champ or anything. But I don't want to show up and look like a weakling dyel either.
What would you say are decent lifts to enter competition with and where would I place?
>>36836896
Ask again in kg. You don't use lbs in weightlifting.
>>36836921

>But I don't want to show up and look like a weakling dyel either.
You are a weakling DYEL, why not become a weakling DYEL with competition experience?
>>36836896
you should compete whenever, dont give urself arbitrary numbers
snatched 70 for 4 sets of trips td and actually had a good oh position w/ head through
>>36836995
I honestly am a bit late, 25yo and I have a pretty busy life. I don't want to show up to a competition if I'm just going to rank like a pleb. It's for fun but I want to do well. I'm never going to go anywhere with it so competition experience really isn't going to benefit me all that much.
Do adults compete or is it mostly like 15-19 year olds?
>>36837020
at my recent comp i was the youngest one at 19, went up to 25-30
at junior comps. im old
>>36837020
I've seen little kids and 70 year olds at the same competition.
And remember weightlifting isn't that popular, you never know who will show up to a competition.
Heres a video of a regional competition
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ikl9Y-1JhSg
>>36836896
>>36837020
depends how dyel u mean
big difference between skinnyfat guy who benches 30kg for reps and has no shoulder/hip mobility to speak of VS someone who's been lifting for 6-12 months and can perform a proper overhead squat
>>36837037
Ok what numbers should I put up?
Are they city meets? Regional meets? State meets? How does it work? What are the numbers that these people are doing that are ranking high?
>>36837062
jesus wtf is that?
100lb girls at my university gym have better lifts than half the people
>>36837109
>100lb girls at my university gym have better lifts than half the people
They don't if they don't compete.
>finally clean/jerked 135lb as skele
am i cool enough to shitpost here now
>>36837074
Ontario meets, so provincial
at 69 the top guys are putting up around 90-100/120-130
>>36837139
yes
claim your trip (names alone are reserved for the truly special)
and enjoy this complimentary (you)
>>36837256
thanks man, i finally belong somewhere.
ps. a (you) for you too
120/160 at nats?
>>36820798
Your pr is the bar
Is there any kind of official association or league for American competitons?
What are regional numbers and national numbers people are lifting for C&J and snatch at the 77kg and 85kg?
>>36837514
it's only usaw i think
norcal has PWA which has its own record, but that's where most of the stremf dudes come from so PWA records are very close to national records anyway
for 77kg the best ones lift around 140-150 for snatch and around 180 in cj
85s 140-160 snatch around 180-190
you'd be a medal contender with those numbers, 85 is very weak right now since the best guy mcgovern is injured
77kg is kinda strong cooper might be able to cj 190+ soon which is high for 77kg internationally but he'll never place due to bad snatch numbers
Is there a massive difference between the squat jerk and the split jerk or is it just preference based?
>>36837514
i dont think regional matters, there's regional records but you don't need to compete in regionals to go to nationals
you just need to post a total enough to qualify in any usaw sanctioned meet within the qualifying period before the nationals
some regions fucking suck and some are very strong
>>36837699
>77kg 180 in cj
As in like 180kg, as in like 400lbs? I might as well be fucking Klokov with those fucking numbers what the fuck
>>36837847
>>36837893
why does he have shit snatch?
