6'5" long femured powerlifter here looking to get into WL
My question was that if I have a deadlifter's build, is there any benefit whatsoever as a Weightlifter, or am I fucked? My guess is that I'd do good at powercleans and that's it
For reference my stats in kg are 257.5 squat, 185 bench, 312.5 deadlift
Also how long would it generally take to be relatively proficient at the comp lifts starting from scratch, with a coach?
>>36917662
couple of weeks to get tech down and then a couple of months to develop tech further while progressing in weights, you'll probably be able to hit a 3pl8 CnJ pretty quick
>>36917670
Thanks senpai, any answer to the question of the pros and cons of people with deadlifter's build would be?
>>36917697
Pros
>Probably can clean it pretty easily
Cons
>Shit mobility
>Jerking and snatching at 6'5 will be a nightmare
>>36917697
long arms short torso medium femur length right? snatch will be good for you
>>36917697
>>36917725
shit sry forgot, your 6'5 yeh thats gonna be a hassle
>>36917723
>>36917732
Fuck, isn't salimi like 6'6" tho
Wl is actually very forgiving on different proportions stop making excuses
>>36917850
>Literally talking about the least forgiving sport for proportions
105+ is where it matters the least though
>>36917662
Just train and see where u get at. Ul most likely b 105+. Its a very fun sport to train for
>>36917865
Only faggots who have no experience in the lifts think this
Look at say, high jump. You literally can't do this if you're not built right.
Wl has had many many many different lifters of different proportions, and it's forgiving because you can set up, and pull, in a way that favours your body. Stop looking at one sort of build and assuming lanky guys are automatically shit at this, gain a bit of knowledge. Shit just watch something that isn't China nationals and look at all the different proportions you see.
It's one of the only sports where you can entirely adapt the technique to suit your proportions. That's forgiving.
Didn't Salami lose his record to some Russian?
>>36917662
Number one thing that powerlifters don't grasp in weightlifting is the mobility and positioning. You spend so long being tight everywhere where in weightlifting you need to be loose
You're time will be much better spent stretching that reinforcing bad movements patters, overhead will probably be a nightmare with all that benching

Started lifting in a oly gym, and went to their course (we meet once in a week). Today i was practising there by myself, and few coaches came to me to give (great) tips.
Best gym decision in my life

S-sry, i was just having a dream. I'm training in my basement with a stick + water baskets (if my form isn't good, i get wet). My mom is teaching me, she used to do crossfit for a week.

Are PP2s nice to use? I have some shit do-wins right now and the inside is getting rekt, I don't really like them anyway.
Top end shoes are too expensive so I'm wondering what PP2s are like.
Also, 1/2 size down? I'm size 9 in everything so I get 8.5?

How is it even possible to practice the pulling under with baby weights (when learning technique)?
>>36919328
Pp2 are super nice. I wear my normal adidas size
>>36919688
It isn't. Just practice the turnover as an active movement, not just as dropping under the bar.
>>36919755
Thanks. I also have an another question:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2XwL4MR-uU
Is she right that beginners should think about doing a "jump" instead of learning the scoop and proper extensions? Cal strength also teaches to "jump"..
>>36918693
Sauce you kind anon

>crossfit

>I will do my best to stay on top until the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.
I'm focused a lot on general strength right now, but have been learning WL for a few months.
I usually practice over and over with bar at the of sessions and sometimes at the start and work up to a light weight trying to be consistent.
Would adding clean and snatch pulls once a week help me develop better positions/chest up more and aid with development of technique? They feel quite awkward as soon as I add weight even though my squat is 3pl8+.
>>36919811
No. Thinkin about a jump can lead to the habbit of actually jumping. The repositioning of the feet is only a foot movement,which the upper body should be totally uninfluenced by. Maybe delugee can post you that video of klokov where he explains what happens when you actually do a jump.
>>36919811
Jumping is just a cue to teach full extension
There are other cues to teach this that don't actively encourage a jump, like 'open all the way' but for a complete noob that doesn't really mean much if they've never seen anyone lift before
'Stand up hard' was a cue I heard on here that maybe would work but idk
>>36920049
>'Stand up hard'
Can't be. This actually helps..

Shes cute, but must women really do this?
My patellar tendon has always felt a bit uncomfortable when squatting.
Now it's straight up painful if I squat anything above 2 plate, it seems more painful if I'm front squatting too. Should I just stop squatting for a few weeks and hope whatever is wrong heals? How will I know I am ready to squat again?
Any tips for the double knee bend / scoop phase? Any thinking patterns to make it feel more natural?
>>36920334
do a back flip?
>>36920334
stop overthinking it. it IS a natural movement.
and don't think about the double knee bend. it will happen on it's own. focus on other things.
drill the correct positions with slow pulls and pauses throughout until you memorize them and then blend it into a normal speed pull
>>36920007
>Would adding clean and snatch pulls once a week help me develop better positions/chest up more and aid with development of technique?
if you do the pulls with better positions and chest up and good technique, then yes.
>>36920360
So what do i do to make it look like a double knee bend instead of a deadlift? Because deadlift comes more naturally..
>>36920327
I'm having the same problem rn.
I took a week off of squats and did these decline one legged squats at home 3x15 tree times a day with bodyweight. Give em a shot if you only have it in one knee.
Instantaneously felt better for me.
http://www.runningwritings.com/2011/09/injury-series-tendon-remodeling-part-ii.html
>>36920389
study frames 3, 4 and 5. to get from 3 to 5 you're standing up with the weight, ending in the power position like in frame 5. consider doing slow pulls with pauses at the positions in frames 3 and 5.
deadlift implies knees fully extended at the end of the movement. for weightlifting you should end a pull in the power position (frame 5) which is the point where you begin extension.
post a form check if you want more specific advice.
>>36920389
is the double knee bend a meme everett is responsible for
>>36920327
>>36920412
have you guys tried flossing the knee?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RYMV0salw8
>>36920445
prob
>>36920440
One thing that helped me is in positions 3-5 from knees to power position is all he is doing is making his torso more upright.
This brings the bar right into his hip and he is ready to fire.
>>36920459
"stand up" is another good one that i've had success with
>>36920456
Yeah I've done this since it started getting uncomfortable several months ago :(
>>36920445
No, it occurs naturally as anon said. Some Americans try to teach it tho which is retarded. I think Everett actually tries to stop that trend.
His book does have an example.of how it works tho, maybe that's where le rebend meme started
>>36920510
if it's been uncomfortable for months you probably need to take a real break, 2 weaks off lower body work maybe with the exception of some light hamstring stuff like single leg rdls
also if your quads are tight one or both of the vmo and itb can pull on the patela, dragging it out of the groove and exacerbating tendonitis. This can mean that even with a healthy patellar tendon you fuck it up just about immediately
>>36920593
Thanks caladan. I dont' have tightness in my quads, my hammies are maybe a little tight. I posted in qtddtot too, here's some more details:
Left knee. It's been there for ages. I've noticed it from playing field hockey for a few years, I think it's because playing on astro turf so high impact when I'm running. Only started noticing it squatting about 18 months ago when I hit 3plate but it wasn't too painful. I backed off to the point where it was just a discomfort. I don't lift with any knee wraps, my knees don't cave when squatting.
I've tried compression treatment for several months which has kept it to a discomfort and I recover from the pain quite quickly. Squatting between 80 - 100kg is fairly painful at the moment, I haven't bothered going higher in fear I might really damage something. Pain is only the patellar tendon. If I kneel on it it's very uncomfortable (I cant do kneeling ab rolls within an hour of squatting). Pain is hard to describe, it's sort of like an intense ache, not really a stabby pain. It makes me feel a bit sick if I try and work through several sets.
It's currently a bit uncomfortable because cricket season has just started and I plant my left leg when bowling, that doesn't cause pain though, just general discomfort.
>>36920440
Thanks m8. This helped a lot. I had no idea how to learn that phase, like what to think.
>>36920606
if you rested and it came straight back, then it means it's either a problem with the patellar tendon (in which case anon's advice about decline eccentric squats is solid), it's an issue with form like divebombing or forcing knees forward on eccentric (you'd know better than us), or there's tightness somewhere (in which case, try out just rolling your quads with a rumble roller or pvc before squats and see what happens).
The worst case scenario is that it's something even deeper, like a meniscus problem, manifesting as anterior knee pain, but you'd probably have reached that conclusion earlier if that was the case.
Have you been to a sports doc? Physio is OK too if you have long wait times to see a physician.
Oh and try pic related, just a hunch but can't hurt
>>36920610
+ all that stuff about pushing your knees and ankles forward and bringing your hips down and forward were making it awkward to learn. The "stand up" to power position cue seems to make it happen naturally.
>>36920697
Thanks, I'll give the decline eccentric squats a go and the popliteus massage. I don't think I'm guilty of divebombing or forcing knees forward.
What sort of intensity should I be squatting at while I do all this? Often with low weight? Heavier weight a couple of times a week? Power through it while doing all this?
>>36920737
pain is your guide and certainly don't power through it if you want functional knees by age 50
you would also be surprised at how much progress slows down when you ignore chronic pain. I would know
>>36920759
would knee sleeves be worth buying?
>>36919950
>Olympic Games Tokyo 2020
oh fuuuuuuuck
>>36920799
I've found they help, just simple cloth warmers should do the trick (don't bother with expensive rehband or sbds or whatever)
>>36920814
If it hurts after whatever lifting/sport I've been doing should I ice or warm it?
How you get that front shin vertical in the jerk? How did you learn how far to place your foot?
>>36920840
I've found ice first feels better, warm later
>>36920877
If your shin isn't vertical it's probably indicating you're either not splitting wide enough or you're putting all your weight into the front foot, or both
How do I warm up adequately?
>>36921095
keep in mind you should be doing stretching in evenings and off days, this makes stuff go by way quicker
Everett says you should start with a few minutes of light foam rolling before moving onto some light dynamic stretching and barbell based stuff
I like to also throw in a plank for a few seconds. I think Ilya does too
>>36921133
What do you do for ankle mobility?
>>36921208
this, though the gains don't seem to translate over to the next session which bugs me. I think I've got really inflexible ankles from multiple sprains playing football over the years
>>36921227
I've been doing that but not with feet together and leaning back, does that make a large difference?
>>36921297
I think it does help, but YMMV. Give it a shot

Have you guys seen Aleksey Torokhtiy's youtube channel?

>>36919727
Thanks.
Do you think it's worth buying them? Are they just as good as the romaelos/adipowers for say the next 5 years?
My do-wins feel horrible, I'm not sure if it's because they are too lose or something else. (I have to tighten the strap a lot so it probably is too loose). I've used them for 2 years.
>>36923585
you probably got stronger and its affecting your technique. what are your numbers?
>>36923585
m-maybe tomorrow will be better lad?
I was having a really shit weak up until Friday, while I was stretching I had a pure thought of "today is going to be a good day"...and it was.
>>36923714
The do-wins never worked for me, I hated the higher heels. Try out the PPIIs if you can
>>36923858
The heels are higher? I thought they were both 0.75"?
>>36923739
Not great, bests are 85/100, I've done 105 jerk off blocks
I feel like my technique and everything got better, and I hit new pb's, then it's all just gone awry the last week or so
Managed to hit 75/100 last week and 70x3x2 snatch today so maybe it's not as bad as I think?

How do I control the weight better as I go from rack position back to hang position?
As the weight has gotten heavier, dropping it off my shoulders and trying to control it on the way down is putting a bunch of strain on my shoulders.
Is it acceptable to just drop cleans?
>>36927011
Just drop it or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_drttm5r66A
>>36927037
This video is exactly the reason why I'm asking if it's faux pas to just drop a clean.
I have a fucky shoulder and it hurts like shit to do anything resembling curls, lowering the weight like in the video causes a sharp pain in my front delt.
>>36927011
that's what the bumper plates are for, but the way to catch it is to squat down some when it comes down to your hips to cushion it. you don't stop it with your arms.
>>36927110
No, it's perfectly fine IF THE PLATES ARE BUMPERS. People do it all the time.

You shouldn't be consciously doing it. It just happens as a byproduct of extension. You extend, you bend.

>>36923886
That's really not so bad. Could be an off week. Sleep, food and work can really affect performance. My previous post about getting strong shouldn't apply to you But for beginners, many are afraid of powering the lifts and they instinctively try not to use their maximum strength and speed, resulting in weak extension, soft lock outs, and slow pull under.

whos your favorite lifter that still competes
HARDMODE: no Lu, ilya or tian
>>36932334
I think that does apply to me, I've not been lifting seriously for long and when the weight gets heavier I start powering my snatches and my.jerks become a bit tame
My pb snatch was a power snatch, so with some time and hopefully training/mobility I should be good for much bigger numbers

>>36933539
Well, if you're fast as fuck, then you have to stamp and make noise. I'm still learning technique and i don't make much sound at all. Stand on your toes, and try to get to a snatch catch position as fast as possible. I'm kinda sure that when your speed increases, you make a bigger "stamp". And it only gets better with hard soles and big weights.

I see in the video I clearly could have kept pushing, but I'd already failed on the set before and my head wasn't in the game I guess. I know my ankle collapses in which is a thing I'm trying to fix. Valgus bugs me, especially on higher weights.

5'11 90kg
205dl
160squat
110bench
Been trying to get into oly lifts over the last month. Did ugly 100kg powerclean and press right after a 190keegee dl yesterday.
Is that good? I feel as if I can pull 110 or maybe ever 120 almost up to my shoulders, only problem is getting below it.
>>36936633
you can't even bs 120?
We're doing an open invite to our (formerly) super secret wechat group
Add me at liu53i5
Catalyst programs worth doing if my tech is pretty good with light weight now?
Which one to choose?
Can I still do a program where I can add say 10kg/month to squat like before? (150kg Squat)
>>36936454
Powerclean it
>>36932562

>>36934930

>>36937254

>>36936454
your arms are locked. you are standing with the bar on your thigh and arms are perpendicular to the floor through the bar. you extend and jump, and unlock your elbows and then shrug. the bar has upward velocity and then you catch it.
>>36937292
u lost me bro
>>36934994
loud is not fast u dummy
>>36937292
>>36937321
>unlock elbows and shrug
pull the bar up your torso like you're taking off your shirt
zhang jie did 145/175 as a 62 at china nats, then 140/175 at 68kg like a week later at asian games
wtf he would have smashed 62s (asian games winner did 130/158), why didnt china send him there
>>36937493
I asked myself the same thing
he couldve done even more they just wanted him to have a total it seemd like
my fs is not high enough
no extension
what weightlifting shoes would you guys recommend ??
i had some inov8 fastlifts and wanted to get some antas but there all sold out... im willing to spend £200 max

>>36937273

>>36937618

>dat audience
>still misses

>>36937759

Probably been asked a lot and I've seen people post here.
Best 3 day week program for beginners to develop the classics a lot and also squat? I can't do 5 day for about 1.5 months.

Came close to gold in wroclaw, then got injured an B grouped in Houston, but I want him to win gold in the supers in Rio, fantastic CnJ
>>36932562
Oh, Also Victor Getts actually

>>36917143

>>36920022
So in other words, Rippetoe is full of shit?
>>36937642
nike romaleos are basically the same shoe as antas
cost £175 on strength shop i think
>>36937642
Powerperfect 2, get 15% off from adidas news letter on your first purchase too. best shoe for your buck
>>36938822
Rippetoe's cues are pretty much perfect for what he's trying to teach. Its just what he's trying to teach is not that closely related to Olympic lifting.
>>36939364
>Olympic lifting.
>teach power clean
HEHEH GUYS IS NOT ACTUALLY OLYMPIC LIFTS AHAHAH
>>36939420
Rip isn't teaching the power clean (or whatever you want to call his version of it) for the purpose of improving the classic lifts. He's teaching it basically as deadlift assistance and power work. And his cues work fine for that.
But god help the poor bastard who tries to apply that approach to getting good at Olympic lifting.
>>36937642
PP2s are 30% off on wiggle right now in UK so £70.
Can I get a formcheck on my cleans? These are 80% for doubles.
They looked pretty good to me, but I dont know much...
https://youtu.be/YevL2J29T3k?t=1m44s
>>36939654
look fine to me.
You might want to try to have your butt a bit higher in the starting position, to make the back angle a few degrees closer to horizontal. But there's really nothing "wrong" about cleaning like that.
I suggest you look at other lifters and examine their back angle and compare it to yours. (keep in mind that peoples proportions and leverages are different).
This is how high I pulled my 151 clean
>>36939944
so why didnt u power it
>>36939919
thanks friend
>>36940124
bcus i suck
Help me guys, how do I recruit people to join my gym and start Olympic Weightlifiting?
can anyone recommend me some accesory work? sort of lost on what to do as i am switching from powerlifting. what are some good exercises? rep ranges?
>>36941896
low back and lots of abs, maybe some glutes, retarded glutes can cause knee problems if they are retarded like u are
do some back extension no weight/bar for 10-20 reps 3-4 sets and some abs whatever you like doing same amount of reps and sets everyday
glutes i like bulg split squats
>>36941954
what about upper body like shoulder and triceps?
thank you for tip about glutes they are very retard and fucked my knees before ;)
Hi rate pls

>>36941699
where you live?
>>36941954
What do you mean by retarded glutes? I would think a powerlifter would have incredibly strong glutes from squats and deadlifts being 66% of what they do.

>>36942079
K thx bi
>>36942229
nice squat.
Hey man. I'm just now coming off a knee and tendon injury after six months on no squatting, I'm basically back to square one.
Do you have a good program to launch my squats back into 150kg+?
>>36942076
most people do think it be like it is, but it dont
https://www.t-nation.com/training/dispelling-the-glute-myth
>>36942017
shoulder you need to more rehab/prehab exercises to not fuck them up, triceps just do dips or something
here's what i think if you're working on stremf do them every other day or have some rest days in between, if it's prehab shit you can do those everyday
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fD3-E2jM7E
i only do the one with bands, the barbell shit he does he just did it for crossfit retard fucks, he actually dont do those regularly
>>36942318
why do owl lifters have such thick butts then
>>36942359
because they actually lift unlike pl
>>36942378
do u think its due to different mechanics in high bar vs low bar squat? or more to do with the clean and snatch
>>36942359
Honestly Tian Tao has the thickest butt in WL, and you can clearly see it is a product from how he trains.
In his squats he uses a pause for every single rep at the bottom with a wider stance for maximum glute activation.
>>36942390
his waist looks so thin it's like it's transplanted
his waist dont look like it lift but his lower body and upper body above waist does
>>36942404
He's super thick

Okulov or Ehab (really grown on me the last few months)

>>36942997
April is a gay injury
I like sincraian the Romanian dudes technique he's not v strong tho
>>36943132
his clean form is nice
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbI9inQaX8s
and what kind of injury
I am a pretty good powerlifter and I want to get into weightlifting. What kind of numbers would be decent to compete locally in WL? If it matters, I'm 262 lbs, my best in the powerlifts are 601 squat, 390 bench, 667 deadlift
>>36943213
See if you can even snatch 100kg properly first fat boy then worry about being competitive lmao
>>36939944
LOOK AT YOUR FEET.
CHRIST.
3x week beginner program to develop classics tech and also heavily squat focused?
>>36920298
because most women into weightlifting didnt start weightlifting because they enjoy the sport.
They got into weightlifting over working out for vanity purposes.
Now the competition in female weightlifting isnt that big in most nations, It basically comes down to a little training and showing up at a competition to get decent placing for most weightclasses. So it's just another tool to further their ego.
I've been doing the classics for about a month now, do they always feel this good to work on and improve or am I gonna hate it in a year?
>>36944423
That depends on whether you like working at something to improve or not
Wl has best qts
>>36942049
looks like you're doing a 1/4 good morning 3/4 squat desu
>>36945086
Pas wanted to see my squat. i have a few here. whats wrong with them?
130bs,120bs,100fs
>>36945232
nah its fine but on the last rep you lean slightly more but thats normal I guess
>>36945232
>is a chinamen
>also has long femurs
lmao
so is having long femurs good or bad?
>>36945513
bad
>>36945513
Don't worry about it only bitches use these things as an excuse
>>36939944
jesus nigga how are your knees not fucked?
>>36945232
its ok
you lose a bit of back tightness, and hips rise a bit from the hole, but not too bad
>>36945232
>>36946556
I think that hes standing too narrow
do you agree
>>36946573
maybe idk
could try wider and see how stuff goes
