>>36894861
here a 3d/w squat program my coach gave me
mon
5x5
wed
5x3 same weight as 5x5
fri
fsq 5x5
mon
fsq 5x2 heavy
wed
5x3 same as 5x5
fri
5x5
desu tho i have found squatting 2d/w works well for me
Was doing highbar squat earlier.
On one of my sets my grip looked like the bottom grip. What would have caused this? Got no vids unfortunately.
Also, is slight good morning okay aslong as my bar path stays vertical?
How to get pancake split/stretch?
Cant even open legs more than 90 degrees (sitting straight up)
how do I stop collapsing into a squatmorning on all my back squats?
>already have belt
>already doing valsalva maneuver
>already have WL shoes
>already tried 10 different stances
>already not divebombing
JUST
>>36896216
don't shoot the hips back
use the legs
push your back into the bar
I was thinking about why the chinese prioritize pulls
could it be because they have a less favorable build for pulling and a very favorable build for squatting so they spend more time with the thing they are less favorable at
>>36896216
compromise your depth to maintain back position
>>36896168
>>36896216
i read here somewhere that guten morgens during a squat are a sign of weak glutes with respect to quads
>>36896216
work on core strength
>>36896101
>whipping bead back
>extending backward not up
Lmao is this guy learnt at crossfit or something
>>36896121
and how would I fit this with the program
swap pulls and squats?
>>36896277
i think this is it, honestly
my back is just way too fucking weak to maintain that kind of position
despite being able to goodmorning it up anyway
>>36896289
idk, could try that maybe
or like 3 squat days and 2 wl days or something
>>36896270
fucking hell
i already have a massive breh-tier ass, no more glute work please
>>36896294
it might be your quads though.
I do heavy ass planks, dragon flags and weighted back extensions almost every day and I still folded over under considerable load.
maybe your legs are so weak that ur bod says NAH and lets your back take over coming out of the hole
just something to consider
>>36896344
i wanna say nah, because my legs are capable of handling a fuckton more than my back
whenever my form doesn't go to shit, the weight gets up very quickly
meanwhile a squatmorning adds like 3-5 seconds and it's a struggle
also i deadlift 10kg less than i squat...
>>36896315
wut u think bout this>>36896246
>>36896405
thats why they focus on pull strength ye kinda
lots of the pulls they do are still for technique though
>tfw sprinter tier proportions
kill me
>>36896270
My glute are always the most sore after squats tbqh
Might be why
>>36896590
you mean long arms + legs?
i have that too
get the fuck over it
>>36896731
yep
and im not even tall, 5'9
Today was a pretty good workout.
snatch 100x3 110x3 115x2 (x) 120x1
123x2 (xx) really close on the second one though
123x1 (x) 123x1(x)
clean and jerks 125x1 130x1 140x1
151x1 (x)
151x1 (x)
151x1 (xx)
front squats 160x1 170x1 180x1 190x1 (x)
I think my jerks sucked today because the 123 snatch i made but couldn't stabilize in the whole twisted my elbow....
>>36896805
>pretty good workout
>failed lifts
omg such a pleb do u want to train 2 be a looser
Pancake takes time to build, just keep at it, 3x a week. 20 seconds a strech
Splits
Pikes strech
single leg hamstring stretch
will all help
>gym doesn't have water because water pipe burst
>they sell water but I don't have any cash on me(student feels)
>guy gives me some of his water and gives me his entire water bottle after he finishes working out even though I didn't ask him for it or even looked at him
Just letting you know that there are nice lads out there.
Also worked on my snatches today but didn't really do good since I have two wounds on my left shin.
>>36896880
how do I stretch ankles at home
>>36896772
I'm 184 cm and have a 193 cm wingspan with long legs and I can still do the lifts properly. Unless you are some mutant with arms to his knees, no torso and 0 mobility you can do all the lifts.
>>36896101
Hello everyone.
I started SS a month ago. Everything is going fine but I'm having trouble with the power clean.
It felt fine the last weeks, but today I tried to power clean 45kg and I couldn't rack it even once. But tuesday I did 42.5 with no problems.
Is this normal with Power CLean progression, or is it a form issue most likely?
(I taught myself the power clean from the book + videos, so I'm not 100% sure if my form is on point.)
>>36896344
>>36896294
I'm gonna suggest that weak core may be very similar to what's actually happening - bad bracing
doing planks just before squats and classics, only like 30s while stretching, really improved my form
Non oly lifting gym rat here. I've always wondered why so many asians in the gym do olympic lifting ?
how not to kill shins as skele newfuck?
>>36897034
Also, any good sources for learning the power clean, that you can recommend?
>>36897040
built for it
but in my experience the only people who do WL are white because they saw it on the Reebok Crossfit Games (TM) and now wish they were chinese or russian
>>36897034
your form is without a doubt crap if you just started and you're power cleaning without learning to clean first
chances are you're either banging the bar too far outwards or not fully extending because the point of a clean is that no matter how high you pull it, the point is getting under it, not pulling it as high as you happen to be standing after extension
>>36897032
m8 im a literal monkey I have the same arm length as my friend who is 183cm tall
>>36897096
I guarantee if you had perfect proportions for WL you would still be shit at this and whining
rate my technique
rather, the legality of it
The catch or whatever on the clean my right foot went forward and the front squat was pretty bad. I turned it into a back squat
hwan squatted 210 also
>>36897117
m8 im just memeing
>>36897120
both lifts were fine u goof
>>36897137
I can never tell anymore tbqh, hear it so often
Lads what are the bast hamstring exercises, I currently do hamstring curls and back hypers but since I stopped doing deadlifts I think my hamstrings are starting to lag.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BENth2oSIIP/?taken-by=rebeka_koha
>tfw rebeka will never do this for you
>>36897074
I always thought it had to do with their limbs/leverages and often not having great genetics (or at least good starting points) for pursuing bodybuilding or more physique-focused lifting hobbies.
Totally true about the white people though
>>36897120
jerk was shaky, pls be stable in the split and tighten ur upper back
groce fsq ur chest caved
>>36897166
Thanks pas kun
>>36897166
>>36897120
>tfw this is what my front squat with 60 kg looks like this
>>36897120
I think you need to do some upperback assistance
>>36897160
RDLs and good mornings are goat for me, GHRs ok too if you can be bothered
you should be doing good mornings or RDLs once or twice a week if you're worried about hams, they're not programmed in typical routines very often
>>36897161
nah I think you can't really happen across weightlifting that easily and I see a shitload of asian powerlifters, as many if not more than white powerlifters
also I think they make decent BBers because their small frames make muscle building look more significant even if they lack the sheer size, but they are virtually non-existant in other sport and in stuff like strongman
>>36897210
What kinds
>>36897258
That's what he said.
>>36897262
rack holds
jerk dips
these 2 blast my upperback
>>36897262
front rack holds
jerk dips
pause front squats
>>36897258
right that's what I said
>>36897262
in addition to >>36897276 if you can be fucked
rows
band pullaparts
I have also heard that pause work is pretty good for upper back dev
>>36897120
Why do you adjust your feet so much
>>36897291
rows and band pullaparts wont help with chest caving on fsq afaik
they will help with shoulder health, possibly keeping the bar close and possibly jerk lockout and maybe snatch catch
>>36897305
idk

>>36897014
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02dY7IhqPJQ
>>36897327
why not? it stands to reason that improving scapular retraction benefits stability
from when I used to powerlift it was really common to prescribe them when you saw a squatter with chest cave, in fact it was basically bad practice if you didn't suggest them
>>36897419
maybe itd help
should probably have suggested those plers do front squats and maybe heavy rack holds too tho desu
>>36897419
becuz scapular retraction does not bend the spine

>>36897444
yeah that was always a struggle for me to get people to do them, they always looked down on basically anything involving rack position
>>36897448
I don't follow, neither do rack holds do they
>>36897463
what's that smell
is it...desperation
nice triple tho, mirin
has your coach ever talked about your jump back? Usually if I jump back that far I miss the lift
>>36897463
Durkz why are you attention whoring?
Good lifts though faggot.
>>36897508
>I don't follow, neither do rack holds do they
its an isometric exercise for the upper part of the erectors which holds the upperspine in place
How much do you guys pay for coaching and how often do you have it? I've got access to a good gym with bumpers and shit, but no coach- all the ones I can find in London (UK) are CrossFit people charging like 20 quid a session
>>36897585
where do you train in london?
>>36897605
Student gym, west central, around south ken and hammersmith- it's got 2 full eleiko sets- are you in London, whereabouts? Can you recommend anywhere?
>>36897463
The autistic alpha
>>36897536
yes but what's wrong with a concentric exercise that aims to achieve the same thing
or are you talking about specificity and carryover
So in lbs the big lift numbers are 225, 315, 405, 495, etc
What are they in kg with kg weights?
https://www.instagram.com/p/BEhHqrErrqv/
why does this power snatch look so bad
>>36897872
Well when you use pounds you usually lift a little more than in kg since a 45pound plate weights a little more than a 20 kg plate.
>>36898001
proof Americans are stronger
>>36898009
hello brainlet, is gravity stronger in america
>>36898009
>proof Americans are stronger
I remember this shitposting style lmao. But yeah you could say that even though it's not true.
>>36898001
It's true, when Americans lift 3 pl8 we're really lifting like 3.2 pl8, hence way stronger than fag Euros.
>>36897872
100 - 140 - 180 - 220, etc
>>36898062
>he goes by pl8s in a wl thread
>>>/plg/ is over there m8
>>36898077
His question was specifically talking about plates dumbass. 2pl8 3pl8 and so forth
>>36898077
What do kgfags go by?
>>36898019
yea, more fat people so the gravitational mass has strong density pockets in obese areas

>>36898812
you first
>>36897946
bump
>>36896831
You always say this but tbqh m8 of course setting pb's you're gonna miss sometimes
In fact most lifters who've been lifting a couple years are still liable to miss due to silly mistakes
It's wether you can correct them or not, of course missing a lift over and over and over is bad but one miss in training doesn't make it a bad session
Ur not a chinky pro don't act like 1
>>36897463
Damn durkz you really are full autismo attention seeker
You're strong I guess but I find you lifts very unattractive
any tips for learning hook grip painlessly as possible?
>>36896270
Why do people never think about these things?
Good morning -> lean forward more -> use your quads less -> oh, must be weak glutes.
No, you fucking dingus, leaning forward shifts the load FROM the quads TO the glutes and hamstrings.
Too far leaning forward is a combination of bad technique (not bringing the knees and hips forward at the sticking point) and possibly weak quads.
>>36897585
There's lots of clubs in London can't you go crystal palace or make the trip to Europa and train with gb's finest
>>36899565
not to be rude or anything but grin and bear it, eventually it won't hurt at all
for perspective I lost my thumbnail when I was fixing something at home and still hook gripped without much pain a day or two after
>>36896101
How the fuck do you slap the bar off your thighs during cleans?
I can't do it for the life of me. Does height have anything to do with it? I'm 6'5.
>>36899462
what are you even trying to say
>>36899462
are you the same guy who is in plg saying that trips are weak?
its kinda obvious who you are by the way you post
can you show lifts?
>>36899611
>eventually it won't hurt at all
Isn't it possible to develop nerve damage?
>>36899611
Since i started hookgrip my thumbnails have been cracking after lifting.
>>36899710
Lol no I'm just a guy who argues with pas alot I quite like him actually
I haven't read plg innages let alone posted

reminder to relax your arms before jerk
also
i dont have bad technique, it's just uniquely my own :^)
>>36900487
what. I thought you were only at 135 CnJ?
>>36901124
No i did 140 a few days ago
tfw you know exactly what you have to do to get back to snatching properly (stretch hip flexors in evenings and on rest days) but you cbf
I really need to sort it out fampaitchi
>>36900364
fuark
>>36900487
>that lower back curl
ouchies m8
>>36901391
it feels ok
pretty ugly tho
>>36901428
woops forgot trip
yeah happens to me sometimes and I never realize until I see footage
how much have you jerked from rack?
>>36901447
i jerked 130 from the rack B^)
i'm bad at rack jerk
My lockout on 135 was WAY better than it has been btw. when i can i'll post it too
https://www.instagram.com/p/BEgLWb-ANDS/
im able to go higher next week
rate
https://www.instagram.com/p/BEkISczgNNX/
rate dis too
>>36900487
you will be able to get that if you used a belt
: ^ )
>>36901996
did you make that steak? hnnng
also this explains why some programming my friend got from his crossfit gym said 'clean deadlift with shrug'. He asked if they meant just do clean pulls, but the coach was adamant that it was different
it's not good but it's better
>>36896280
are you memeing or whats the proper way
>>36903514
solid jerk, looked way better
shit recovery though
do you self program
>>36903598
yeah i self program
>>36903612
is it basically just heavy snatch variant, heavy cj variant, squat variant every day
>>36903619
it's not quite that simple
my program changes a lot depending on what i need/where i am quite a bit
hey lads can I get some feedback? Snatches have been a huge weak spot for me today, just with patience on 1st and 2nd pull.
Any critiques you can see? Aside from being in my living room and being Auschwitz mode? thanks
https://www.instagram.com/p/BEj70f0nyWF/
>>36903244
yi they just do deadlift, while i was there i didnt see any of the knsu lifter getting up on toes

Don't rush under
Finish your pull

>>36904024
:^(
>>36903923
thx noticed that, couple inches away from finishing
>>36903791
thanks, might consider this next time I'm doing pulls, I tend to extend a little early on cleans
>>36903514
you're gonna be a great lifter. you already look like aramnau, now you only need to raise your numbers.
>>36900487

what the fuck did you just say about me
OP pic is just incredible man. I mean I know the guy is probably drugged but still, to see a body at that level of physical fitness blows my fucking mind. 100% muscle.
>>36905464
hes not drugged hes just short, with some good lighting
>>36905442
I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Eleiko Sportscamp, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret max-outs on sundays, and I have over 300 confirmed PR's. I am trained in Highbar squats and I’m the top snatcher in the entire Swedish youth Team. You are nothing to me but just another target.
>>36899462
ive found my lifts have got far better since ive stuck to weights i never miss in training (maybe missing once a month or less) desu senpai
imo the aim should be for long term progression, not to constantly see your absolute limits at any point in time (ie failing multiple times to achieve some PR which should be a routine weight in a year or so anyway)
>>36905229
Was thinking about going to that comp. Had to study though.
Is that you btw?
>>36906073
Yup, it's me :)
>>36905677
You're very right desu
My pb snatch is 85 but it's irrelevant if I can't even hit 80 regularly, consistency is key as they say
Any tips how to prevent pulling with arms? Im training technique, and the weight just feels so light that it happens easily.
Why don't pros squat jerk more?
Surely it's objectively better since you use the strength of your legs evenly to get the weight up?
I've heard Ilya's switching to Squat jerks, seen him do a fair few in recent videos etc
>>36903791
>>36904501
Can you do high pulls this way?
>>36907114
because even lu xiaojun just drops it half of the time.
Also a lot of lifters aren't limited by the jerk, and don't need to switch because the clean is what's holding them back.
>>36907253
I will never for the life of me understand how you can jerk more than you can clean.
>>36906208
Trained with your coach a couple of times.
Not a regular tho, because the gym is so small/crowded
>>36907326
It's better when you train early in the afternoon
>>36907114
There's no difference in split vs squat jerk when you drive it up, feet movement happens after the bar leaves the shoulder
>>36907353
The spot is pretty optimal since I can go there on my way home from uni, but that is usually around 12-16.
Maybe I will show up there again when I get my mobility/lifts up. I do take some coaching there now and then with "S" when the gym is empty.
>>36907114
>I heard ilya's switching to squat jerks
yeah, sure, the guy with the heaviest split jerk p4p in the world is gonna switch to squat jerks, right?
>Tfw long-term goal of 3pl8 CJ happened last week
feels ok man, lots more in the tank
>>36906385
focus on it every session until you do it right - do actual pulls with actual weight and just let it hang mah nigga
>>36907325
that's because you have shit technique
>>36904024
it's 175
>>36907429
Is he really the best split jerker pound for pound?
>>36907410
You should desu
I'm not Angelica btw
>>36907603
Maybe this summer.
Doesn't matter familia. What weight class you in?
seriously how to I catch low?
I literally power everything, and not paralell power but way above
I posted this a while ago and some guy said do muscle snatches but I find that these help my extension more
>>36907817
Catch lower
Do snatch balances to practice dropping quickly
Do hang cleans/snatches with lower weights than you do atm, build up to current numbers but not until you complete all previous attempts decently low
>>36907875
I tried hang variations with lower weights but I found that I cut my extension to catch lower
but when I fully extend I simply cant catch low
>>36907920
Don't listen to that retard, catch where you pull then always squat down to bottom every time and do a couple ohs just getting comfortable
No other way around it, it's better than having to cut extension to catch lower which will just fuck up your progression later
>>36899569
No you retard
How the fuck would leaning forward place more load on your quads? It wouldnt make a difference, you have to extend your knee and hip all the same. Good mornings arise BECAUSE the glutes are taking longer to do their work BECAUSE THEY'RE WEAKER
>>36908084
apparently you can't read
he's saying leaning forward transfers the load from quads to the posterior chain
>It wouldnt make a difference,
you obviously dont lift if you think a good morning squat hits the quad as hard as a proper high bar squat
>>36908084
not him but thats wrong bro
heres this dude explaining how it works, cba to type it myself

I have a similar problem, I think its something that just comes with time.
Right now i hang a long piece of plastic strip off my squat rack so when I pull it hits it and I can get my timing down.

is there a way to do it without making Solaire go crazy? I've already killed the sunlight maggot and opened the shortcut (used all my humanity in the process) but I'm thinking of doing Duke's Archives first so I can upgrade my uchi to +15

hey lads so after 2 months of physical therapy and no lifting im back in the gym and it seems my IT band is still getting a little sore, but I can't tell.
I think it's a little better though. Or I may be fucked for life honestly. Any thoughts? advice?
I think my physical therapist was shit.
>>36911444
The lifters profit from it too, they gain publicity
>>36911591
You think Lu xiaojun is gaining publicity from a cuck western crossfit shilling name brand?
also here is a bonus video for you

>>36911538
>tfw a man 10kg lighter than me snatches my 95% for a triple
wew
>>36911459
Aldritch isn't a trap though, he ate Gwynyvere and gwyndolin cause he's an asshole. Isaacs waifu is just gywndolin
>>36911654
>haven't come across her yet
>her
>also am I a bitch if I don't want to kill priscilla
nah, there's an option to just leave peacefully
>>36911672
;^)
>>36911717
yeah I left without killing her, then went back intending to but bitched out and farmed the phalanx instead
>>36907122
lads can you please answer
>>36912422
I'm just guessing but it stands to reason that high pulls may require you to get up on toes
if the whole point of a high pull is to finish extension, that means getting up on toes you would assume
>>36911651
>>36911444
What's wrong with them filming the lifters man. Also we would have way less WL content on the internet.
>>36912442
What's with the chinese doing pulls differently then the others(pulling themselves into the bar like in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4qEvvIjjjI). Is their pulling tech superior or should I stick with finishing on the toes?
>>36912477
some of them do panda pulls which basically means everything but the catch. Not all of them though. I wouldn't worry too much about what the elite lifters are doing, really
>>36912477
It's just a different kind of pull, none is the "best".
>>36912511
>>36912509
Which would be better for a young novice to the sport, with long arms?
Also should I at any point in the wl movements squeeze my glutes?
>>36912543
beginners should just do regular pulls, what pent said was that that particular style is taught to beginners specifically so they don't rush extension, so try occasionally doing pulls where you don't get onto your toes
the long arms thing is utterly irrelevant in training except perhaps to widen your grip
as for squeezing glutes idk, sounds more like you're overthinking it
>>36912543
The straight arm pulls are simpler to start with. The glutes obviously activate but it shouldn't be a conscious thing.
>>36912543
what you should do depends on what you're doing wrong, which noone here knows
>>36912566
>>36912562
Alright thanks a lot lads, any other tips you can spoonfeed me except being consistent and working on strength and technique?
>>36896246
Pulling strengthens thoriac extension, which is one of the limiting factors in the front squat.
>>36912588
get a coach, and don't end up like me with precisely 0 snatch/cj PRs in like 8 months
>>36912593
i dont think pulling will help much with chest caving in on fsq, idc what complex words ur using desu
>>36912613
There are no WL coaches in my country.
>>36912585
I am doing everything wrong most likely. Maybe I will get some videos Tuesday and I can become the next owg meme.
>>36912643
what country?
>>36912652
Macedonia.
>>36912664
>tfw my meme country killed owg
>>36903791
clarence is getting a bit fat.
>>36912729
why do some people insist on using the word 'meme' as an adjective for everything? do you think you are witty doing this?
>>36912825
nice meme
>>36911444
u r fucking retarded
u think we'd have as much training footage as we do now if not for those 2 who helped WL get more exposure?
randy from ironmind probably wouldn't have released some of his newer uploads if not for those 2
>>36912442
>that means getting up on toes you would assume
wrong again
stop giving advice when you don't understand shit
>>36912509
>I wouldn't worry too much about what the elite lifters are doing
why the fuck not? why not try to understand why they're doing those exercises and maybe learn how to actually lift?
you're getting annoying man, you used to be cool when you stuck to giving advice about shit you knew about (injuries)
>>36913238
can you explain why they are wrong?
are you saying that we should try to immulate elite lifters without any coaching?
>>36913399
i think we should just be memes
should I cop antas guys?
or are they just hookmeme memelifter shoes?
Time for seppuku
>>36913399
are you even the real pent, he's not this dumb
i didnt say emulate elite lifters
I said LEARN WHY THEY DO THOSE EXERCISES, or at least try to understand/try it out
he said you would assume that high pulls mean getting up on toes, you can do a high pull without toes
>>36896280
looks like an okay snatch to me
>>36913238
>>36914329
he asked me a direct question and I didn't really know what to answer, that's why I said I was just guessing
the main point I was trying to get across is that it's silly for someone without any idea what they're doing to just see what elites are doing and copy that, as you said, without knowing why
but you're right, I probs should have began and ended by just saying I don't know
tarkety doing AMA on leddit again btw lads
next time i meet him i'll ask him to come over this meme real quick
>>36914946
send him a link to the thread rn
>>36914984
