>5 olympic champions from 2008/2012 olympic games test positive in retests
>yfw torihkity, lu, ilya, and everyone who matters in this shitty sport gets popped
it's over lads
http://www.allthingsgym.com/retests-olympic-doping-samples/
Well yeah. It's weightlifting. No one who competes and is successful at that level is natty. It's the nature of the sport bro
OH WOW PEOPLE IN THE TOP 1% OF A SPORT ARE ON ROIDS?
>>37374180
>torihkity
>matters in this shitty sport
lolmao he only became a meme because he started copying klokov
Any tips on wrist and elbow mobility for Olympic front squats? Stretches, foam rolling?
>>37374252
if Lu gets popped it will be the saddest thing ever
I want to protect that smile
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmahiN4QkHc
Look how happy he is. I don't think he will though. He's been tested so many times.
>torihkity
>mattering to the sport
Weightlifting will be dropped from the Olympics because of this
The olympic committee has wanted to drop wl for a more popular sport for a long time, now they finally have an excuse.
RIP lol
>>37374332
>inb4 powerlifting is put in the olympics
>>37374332
>popular sport for a long time,
but it is getting popular now, there's been a shit ton of doping scandals throughout wl history and they couldnt drop it
worst thing they'll re shuffle the weight classes again lol
>>37374359
Weightlifting is already on notice from the IOC because of all the doping. Having a sport where all of the major stars are caught using makes the Olympics look like shit
If this report is true they absolutely will take weightlifting out of the Games after Rio
>>37374436
Relax. It's probably going to be the womens team
nobody cares about those cucks
>>37374436
>because of all the doping
majority of the olympic games there's more wl busts than any other sports but they haven't been dropped lmao

i am posting my wl waifus
pls do not save
>>37374436
sprinting is easily one of the most popular olympic sports and thats always had champions fail roid tests
they wont 'absolutely' do anything of the sort, weightliftings been picking up steam ever since crossfit started. it draws a big crowd, has a big internet following and is starting to produce sport celebrities like never before.

emphasis on squats and heavy singles

How can an Olympic champion be a copy of someone with 0 (zero) Olympic golds?
>>37375802
Klokov was the 1st to make popular wl videos, cunt
Klokov would eat torokhtiy total if they compete against each other right no at 105 I bet my fucking dick
>>37375837
you would bet your dick, it's not like you ever use it
>>37375726
not ur friend
>>37375837
So he not allowed to make videos because Klokov did it first? Should hook grip stop because iron mind did it first too?
Torokhtiy did clean and jerk of 230kg recently. I seriously doubt Klokov could cut to 105 and beat him right now.
>>37374309
>sport
>>37375945
>Torokhtiy did clean and jerk of 230kg recently.
yeah at a meet where he had to take an extra attempt to hit it
>>37375945
>I seriously doubt Klokov could cut to 105 and beat him right now.
they both weigh 110
>>37374180
Aramnau tested positive.
Klokov now has a gold medal, Lapikov silver, and Dolega bronze.
I'm calling it.
Klokov is now the natty overlord.
>>37374299
Nothing more pure than Asian smiles.
>>37374299
>>37378098
Liao Hui gets banned for life.
Lu gets banned from Rio and retires.
Ilya will pass as natty in 2008 and get popped in 2012.
Everyone laughed when Klokov and Akkayev skipped 2012. I guess they will have the final laugh.
Though I'm sure that looking back, they would prefer to have participated and have it recoded for eternity, even if they did get popped. Their carrer was over after that anyways, might as well had put on a show.
In a few years, eventually, no one will care about drugs in sports anymore. But for now, we revel in the dark age of weightlifting.
>>37378098
>Klokov is now the natty overlord.
>>37378098
>In this case of doping have been convicted of five Olympic champions - the four winners of the Games in London and one in Beijing champion.
Sounds like Aramnau might have passed it again, only one champion popped in 2008. Though that still might be him, or worse, Liao... Would Liao get banned for life now? He was already punished for doping in 2010, and this (2008 olympics) happened before. Will they consider that he has already served his time, or will he get punished again?
Worrying about Lu and Ilya though. Four champions from 2012 popped. UGH
kim un guk was olympic champion and also tested positive at 2015 wwc so it wouldn't be suprising if he came up positive, you guys seem to be assuming its all men too, which is unlikely.
also until anything is officially published by iwf or whoever this is just rumours
>>37378588
Yes, it's a total of 15 champions per year.
Considering only one has allegedly popped in 2008, chances are we don't have much to worry about there.
But 5 champions have allegedly popped in 2012.
That is a pretty big reason to start worrying about some of the big names.
And they might still not be over with the retests. So we might have more bad news to come.
Still probably gonna take quite a while for the IWF to publish anything official with names.
How would you describe Toshiki's proportions/femur?
Why does he squat so wide? What kind of build is that useful for?
>>37378718
I find it really weird the way you say 'they popped' as if it's a balloon. It's 'they got popped'.
I know English is your second language tho so I will let u off ;^)
Anything I can do to get comfortable catching lower in a clean?
>>37380208
git gud
>>37380259
oh ok, thanks anon :)
Rostami made 175/220 at the IWF Grand Prix and set the new world record and total equal to tian Tao national record 395.

>>37375945
Klokov walks around no heavier than 110. Usually 108
Rostami will lose because he can't snatch over 175 at the Olympics and Tao is going to be out for blood because someone took his world record he's been trying to get
I hope it's not ilya. I would miss his stupid down syndrome smile

Pendlay has some good stretching videos, also I pull my hands back (not too hard) to stretch out my wrists for about 20-30sec a few times a day
>>37374296
>Replied to the wrong post oopsies. Pendlay has some good stretching videos, also I pull my hands back (not too hard) to stretch out my wrists for about 20-30sec a few times a day
i would be willing to bet that none of the chinese are getting caught from the 4 champions from the 2012 games
kazakh and north koreans have recently been caught so my line of thinking is that they are more likely to prioritise retesting those countries first
also rostami is definitely getting caught this year after that 220
>>37382908
Ye p much
We chinese are not cucks like the russians
>>37383081
fuck off deliugieugueieuiegui
Why is hang snatch from below the knee so much harder than from the floor or above the knee?! Fuck my life.
>>37383251
it's to do with getting your knees out of the way properly
it feels more natural moving them out of the way from the floor but not from the hang
good exercise
dont mind me just passin thru
>>37383234
sorry x
>>37382908
>i would be willing to bet that none of the chinese are getting caught from the 4 champions from the 2012 games
Yeah that never happened before
right?
right?
right?
... oh wait
>>37383311
read my explanation
i'm not saying it's impossible the chinese are getting caught, just more likely that the north koreans and the kazakhs are who they are currently talking about
>>37383271
I really laboured through them today, when I finally stopped over thinking it they got better. I had them programmed with 80% of best full snatch, you reckon it might be worth lowering it slightly to focus on getting the movement correct?
>>37374180
>yfw torihkity, lu, ilya, and everyone who matters in this shitty sport gets popped
How is this surprising in any way? Everyone already knew these guys were roided, this is just official confirmation asserting the facts. Honestly I'm sick of how roided everyone is in this sport, not really because they roid, but because they make the barrier of entry for everyone else who doesn't way higher. Simply put, you cannot compete on this level unless you roid.
>>37383343
just make sure it's hard enough that you have to focus on technique, if you're still getting the sets and reps 80% sounds about right
they take a little bit of getting used to in my experience
>>37383350
No names yet senpai, we don't know who got popped and who didn't.
>>37380544
>>37380627
Oh well
>>37383350
Welcome to literally any sport that can greatly improve by steroid use since the 1960's. Don't be delusional. If a top guy lifts 210kg using steroids there is not gonna be a natty lifting anything even close to that weight.
>>37383440
I know, I know. Still, it just kinda feels shitty that everyone at this level is probably on tons of steroids. I don't mind steroid users, it's just when this gets passed as 'tested lifting' when most if not all athletes get popped constantly is just embarrassing. Oh well though, that's the state of sports in general nowadays.
steiner pls be clean
Can any of you guys help me figure out why my setup is so shit?
If I press say a 40kg bar overhead and place it on my back, my upper back is nice and tight, traps are flexed and raised up as a shelf.
When I setup from stands, I can't seem to flex and raise my traps at all? They just stay flat?
Anyone know why?
>>37383378
Well at 80% some feel good, some terrible. I seem to catch them high (a problem I have with all snatches desu) and they feel alot slower than from the floor
That said, while they sucked, I can make it through the reps, I not missing every other one or anything
>>37383607
Literally just retract your scapulae.
>>37383804
Hm, maybe I'm not pulling back enough in my setup.
>>37382805
what bitch
Rostami is a pussy ass nigga. He did the world records in this shit skin haiji only meet because he knows he won't be able to hit even close to it on the Olympic podium. Punk made bitch
>>37384133
inb4 rostami turns up roided to the gills, CJs 225 and is immediately tested and banned
>>37384161
The apti and okoluv nuthuggers are so annoying. They honestly believe they can snatch anything over 175. Rostami is going to get popped for this world record though. Watch. It politic
If dubs ilya is cucked out of 4 olympic golds
>>37384184
If dubs deliuge is cucked out of totaling over 100kg
>>37384184
if he gets banned and has his medals taken it's gonna be one of the biggest controversies ever in this sport
also i reckon he is definitely on the list; it says in one of the sources 1 champion from 2008 has been caught, and (i think) he is the only champion left still competing
it's possible they just re-did them all and they're gonna pop people after their retirements but it seems more likely for them to test actively competing lifters
When you guys squat, you know when you are at the bottom and you pull your hips forward towards your feet to get more upright and forward knee...
What is that doing? What part of my mobility is lacking there or why can't I stay like that. I have to actively push my hips forward?
>>37384276
probably ankles and maybe hips
took me quite a long time to be able to do it properly
>>37384205
Aw sweet
>>37384349
Yeh like some days I can do it and other days I can't even though I stretch a lot etc but its like I can't do it at all sometimes and my ankles seem like they are stretched/mobilised but they dont move in a barbell squat?
I'm not sure if its a mobility issue or something I should practice?
>>37374180
LU IS GOING TO GET BANNED???? WTF.
>>37384430
possibly
>>37384419
bit of both really. also you probably need to get stronger in that specific position, it will come with time and mobility work
>>37384505
Low chance. Lu is the most popular weightlifter by a large margin. He's the face of Olympic weightlifting. The very definition. It's all politics. They won't ban him
>>37384526
while i can agree with that reasoning i still think ilya is on the list, and he's arguably as big of a name
>>37384517
Is it ok to continue squatting as I am right now and progressing while working on mobility or should I just stop all together?
>>37384542
He is but everyone suspects him of drugs unlike lu who trains year around with little to no breaks. Ilya does random training cycles where he increased his CJ from 170kg to 246kg in two months.
>>37384562
just continue as you were, dont worry about it too much for now
>>37380970
It's around 112-114 currently.

Alright guys I have a legit question about my current goals. My goals for the next couplemonths is to dunk (can grab rim rn), get a 2.5 BW squat, BW OHP, and increase my classical lifts as much as possible.
Should I do a madcow/5/3/1 program accompanied with the classical lifts/plyo or should I try out some catalyst programs/torokthiys program? Will i see similar strength gains?
>>37384673
My stats:
5 11 165lbs
BS: 315x3
FS: 275x3
OhP: 115 (10x3)
CJ: 225
Snatch: 155
Honestly haven't maxed out in a while I just spam triplez
>>37380919
Name?
>>37374180
Are the retards on the Olympic committee actually naive enough to believe that you can get olympic-medalist tier performance without drugs?
>>37384706
Holy skeletor.
I doubt you'll be able to make a 415 squat at your bodyweight 'in a couple months' while still trying to do accomplish everything else you want. Why is that a goal of yours? Seems arbitrary.
Catalyst programs are basically garbage. Torokhtiy's available programs are better, but whether you're suited to follow them and make gains is another story.
Your ratios are not very good. If you want to increase your classics then you need to focus on them. As a bonus, doing so will increase your vertical.
>>37384866
the ioc doesn't care if its athletes use ped's, they care if they get caught
tarnishing the name of the olympics means less money. that's all they care about

how, everyone knows weightlifting is a doping sport. almost every olympic games multiple people gets caught
how is this any different than before
they're not gonna do shit
>>37374180
Holy shit I hopped Lu gets popped, just so that you fucking scrubs will shut the fuck up about that overroided weightclass babby.
>>37384992
hes by far the most popular figure in the sport, not likely to happen desu famalam
you don't know what you're talking about. the ioc cannot ignore a scandal this big. weightlifting will be removed from the tokyo olympics
>>37385052
No it won't you cretin. There are way more high profile doping scandals over the years and those sports remain.
>>37385052
ooohhhhh he called you a creatine bro what you gonna do
>>37385052
look at cycling
huge widespread drug use
massive scandals
still in the olympics
>>37385052
Pls no if they remove Tokyo 2020 then lu can't be the oldest living weightlifter to ever win gold
>>37384657
He's been retired for years.
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>37385642
maybe its cuz ur so light lolllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
2ND time bench pressing since 2014 and I hit 305. Isley keeps bragging about he doesn't suck at bench anymore and hit 340 the other day so I might just train for 2 months and hit 360 then post it in plg and quit benching again.
>>37385642
is your shoulder ok?
that looked fuckin painful
>>37385740
kek
please do that, maybe he'll stop posting his shit tier powercleans here
>>37385762
I think I can do it. Maybe even quicker.... I did 335 at 185 so 360 at 215 shouldn't be hard. Then we get to shit on islet whenever he shows up here.
>>37385750
yeah i have good mobility
>>37385740
go for it
>>37379176
it's his hip carriage, femurs probably insert at the hip at a different angle.
people with 'celtic' hip structures generally only feel comfortable generating power in a narrow stance
are you admiring my valgus maneuver
Once i do 170 i'll allow myself to do non pause back squats again
But if i hit 170 by thursday then i'll make it 175 instead
Why do lifting shoes keep me more upright in my squats even though I have adequate forward knee travel barefoot?

>>37385867
How can a long femur short torso guy achieve something that looks like this?
My positions are abysmal regardless of stretching and mobility work and I also can't seem to stop my pelvis tucking under so I'm trying to force my hips into my knees.
>>37386258
long femurs bottom position is deeper than short femurs
>>37386274
Yeah but I just can't seem to sit in it and keep my hips from staying under me. I'm not sure which mobility is most crucial for this but it's really annoying me since I've been hammering mobility and have still got barely anything from it.
>>37386258
my femurs are not short
>>37386318
Pls help mobility tips.
It is painful to see you guys squat. I've been doing consistent stretch and mobility for over 6 months and my squat has barely improved in terms of looks.
Are there some mobility drills or stretches that are more effective than others for a nice deep squat with a flat back?
>>37386367
people compliment my squat pretty often.
the truth is you don't need to have great mobility to squat well. i'd even say my mobility is below average. you need to learn to brace your core properly first of all. that's probably the biggest thing for keeping a flat back
>>37386367
as far as mobility goes i just stretch my quads every night and ankles before training
at least for what i think helps with squat
>>37385896
kill yourself
>>3738638
I have no idea mine isn't that nice but I see guys with no athletic background squat even like 1pl8 and it looks solid and deep and they have only just started to lift.
I have noticed that sometimes actually maybe that's my problem. How would you suggest doing it so that it just becomes second nature? I do notice when I brace it does not feel tight and I feel more like I am pushing my stomach down/out.
>>37386401
You stretch them for a while? I do this too but it seems like my ankles don't want to budge when I start a backsquat but they move with a bodyweight squat. Still haven't figured out why.
>>37386381
>>37386431
Started lifting 3 weeks ago. hows my squat form?
>>37386473
Your feet could stand to be a touch wider. If that's where you feel most comfortable you'll probably be all set. Also, straighten those wrists out.
>>37386505
What is the importance of having straight wrists in a squat?
>>37386525
Strain on the wrist and it inhibits your ability to keep the bar braced against your back.
>>37386473
You don't have to finish your squat with an OHP.
>>37386473
>behind the neck pressing at the end of the movement
Wait how the fuck does testing work? Why are we talking about champs from 8 years ago
>>37386579
Thanks.
Also, I realize this one will look quite bad. But here is my clean and jerk.
>>37386446
sit between the legs.
think about it
>>37386653
could have been way worse actually
hard to tell what's what on the jerk but your issue on the clean was not finishing extension and pulling with elbows up
>>37386473
what da fuk
>>37386653
>>37386694
He's not fully extending on jerk either. Can't say anything about the split from that angle. Maybe in the future think about dropping under the bar into the split faster. Grip could/should also be wider on jerk (maybe wider on clean).
>>37386653
your stance needs adjustment. also make the sequence two things. the lifting and then the pulling. at worst you should barely be readjusting your foot placement. also stop standing like an oaf like at 0:05.
>>37386780
>>37386713
>>37386694
THanks for advice. also, what do you mean standing like an oaf?
>>37385867
>heels coming up from valgus
I'm bored and lonely tonight so I'll give some meaningful non-meme advice maybe
>implying i'm capable of that
>>37387122
Why do I keep shifting my weight to my toes and coming off my heels during squats? I have excellent ankle mobility and use oly shoes. Also I occasionally feel hip impingement and I have an old mcl injury on one knee. My squat max is 120 kg
>>37387122
What is a proper front rack position
Also tell me about proper bracing
>>37387169
I know this is you commi you can't trick me
>>37387160
is your butt rising early? you're probs leaning too heavily on way up. pretty common cue but you can try to push your traps back and up against the bar to fight this to maintain upright torso
also don't forget to scoop hips under
>>37387192
Yeah that must be it. Instead of going straight up and down during the movement, my hips kinda trace out a "D"; straight down then up and around. Pic related.
How do I correct this besides ques? I heard forward lean is due to weak quads. Strengthen quads?
>>37387192
Pls
>>37387192
Is coming up off the toes early before the bar gets to the hips wrong? If so how to correct?
>>37387122
I have longish legs and am great at deadlifts/shit at squats
when I try to squat like this (note very open hips):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fjRnMS1xbc
I have no power and can barely do 100kg for a double
but then I bring feet in more and do something like this (notice how he's not opening hips as much as tian):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xqSyaucrJI
and I go up to a fairly easy 140kg double.
do i just need to persevere with option 1 or is option 2 ok? Goes for front squats too
>>37387291
no just squat lighter with better form next time
altho more lower back work does help keeping upright torso in squat
>>37387305
inherently, but many lifters do it anyways
it's usually caused by having an upright torso too early before extension (see: vladimir sedov; his torso is already vertical even before extension)
the fix is obviously to stay over the bar longer
basically you're supposed to keep the weight centered on your lower back for the entire pull phase of the lift
so lean over longer before you start extending
>>37387318
both squats are fine
chinese teach hips open and in, but desu i don't think it matters too much
you can practice with open hips, but you're not going to squat near max when you're forcing yourself to do something you're not used to (in this situation, open hips)
it'd be better for me to see a vid tho, maybe you're just doing something wrong
>>37387318
>>37387483
oh imperative detail i forgot to ask
how wide is your stance? it's generally harder to squat with open hips if your stance is as narrow as klok's in his vid
>>37387302
why don't you ask uncle :^)
>>37387499
>>37387483
little wider than hip width
no vids at the moment, not until I get a new phone
>>37387529
yeah, not wide enough for open hips if you have long legs
try shoulder width
>>37387576
ok senpai
have you studied hip morphology? Do you know anyone who has? I am curious to know if chinese methods extend to people built not like chinese
>>37387518
>>37387589
>studied
nah i'm pretty stupid and unqualified desu
a few months ago i argued for scapular retraction during rack pos even tho it's impossible because of things lost in translation and the fact that i didn't know what scapular retraction was exactly
i just thought it meant tight lats and open chest lol
i should probs take a biomechanics class or two just to learn what things mean
most of the things i know are in chinese anyways
>>37387483
Give me a program for someone with Juans numbers q
>>37387318
I also prefer to squat with a narrower stance. I have very long legs/short torso (188cm).
>>37387670
>wanting chinese memes
you'll have to join the chat first
>>37387682
I will in a month when I have a place to lift at
>>37387680
ok guess we're bros then. What are your numbers? When you catch in the clean/snatch do you have a roughly shoulder width stance?
>>37387589
trappy-chan
>if chinese methods extend to people built not like chinese
Chinese are not all built the same you fucking retard
>>37387714
hip morphology between e.g. chinese hip and celtic hip are fairly different and there are commonalities between chinese more often than between a chinese and a scot, for example. Why are you being rude?
>>37387698
what are your numbers kiddo
what's your favorite anime
when was the last time you drank kefir/had suicidal thoughts
>>37387699
My numbers are shit right now. Haven't lifted in a year. But my catch does end up wider. Maybe a tad less than shoulder width
>>37387740
115/140 @105
shinsekai yori. i watch a lot of harem shit but they're all shit. it reminds me of high school days when i actually had friends ;_;
last time i had kefir was last year when i didnt have bills to pay, now i got obamacare bullshit so no more money for food
suicidal thoughts is everyday till last month when i stopped watching anime and just started playing vidya again to keep my mind off it seems to work decent
do i fit in senpai
>>37387832
you'd be one of my weaker/lower sinclair lifters lol
nice anime tho
gimme insta if you have one
>>37387861
pulls and squats are decent i just need to learn how to lift
i dont have insta and i dont film lots of my lifts since i supposedly have a coach that don't actually do shit
>>37387924
are you the guy at calstrength
>>37387965
kek, shots fired
wes kitts where you at
>>37381772
I just can't bring myself to catch lower. It is definitely a mental thing
>>37380208 >>37387980
The klokov drills helped me a lot
>>37387965
no i go to a crossfit box with a wl team
>>37386473
being able to OHP a weight you squatted 2 times and struggling? dyel
>>37386653
lol that was like a reverse curl. Just because you're doing light weights, doesn't mean you should not go down on your clean. Once you use weights that are not filled with air you cant just curl it anymore.
>>37390111
You really think that looked like a struggle? Fuxking mong. You're probably barely squatting past 60kg yourself and trying to sound big
>>37390121
So you're saying you should never power clean light weights and sink every single clean into the hole even with 40kg? Lol
>>37390191
Not that guy but definitely looked like a struggle.
The 'the press' portion at least
Looks like we may have our first victim of the retests. Some Taiwanese paper is reporting it.
>>37391329
>>37390824
So you and this guy think you should be pressing what your double squat is? How low is your squat?
>>37391342
Totally baseless speculation
>>37391568
I agree, just making a story based around one if their best athletes
>>37391329
I knew it would be the woman's team. And damn. I love that girl. Her cleans and so graceful. Rip kazahkstan

>tfw did a 90kg snatch and 110kg c&j last friday
I'm really damn happy about it but I still feel weak as fuck. Probably because I am. I'm actually losing motivation despite all the progress I've made.
>>37393727
How long lifting, what bw?
200 total is a landmark, stick at it lad
>>37393758
I've been lifting for 2 years on and off, I did about 4-5 months of weightlifting last year so I knew what I was doing when I got back into it. Right now I've been lifting seriously again for about 4 months, did a strength routine with bits of oly lifting in it for about 2 months until my olympic squat got to 125kg for 3 reps and I've been doing olympic lifting for 2 months.
>>37393792
>>37393758
oh and my bodyweight is 97kg, I just checked. It was the optimal time to check anyway because I just pooped and I'm about to eat.
>>37393792
>>37393817
>2 years on and off
>97 bodyweight
>125 squat
Literally just do SS or something for 3 months and you'll have a stronger squat, which will translate into stronger at the classics.
Your problem here is that you haven't been training or eating well and your strength is shit.
>>37393981
I said on and off. I wasn't very strong until 4 months ago, I just said 2 years to bring into context that I did weightlifting last year so I started with a relatively decent technique.
Also even though I haven't tested it recently my squat is much bigger than 125 now. I did 125 3x5 last week.
>>37394028
Technique doesn't matter unless you're lifting heavy. I can have beautiful technique with just the bar, and my clean still be 50kg. That doesn't mean shit.
Your problem is that you're weak. Check any of the multiple researches on the percentage relationship between the back squat or front squat and the classic lifts and you'll see why you're having a hard time getting your classics up.
>>37394137
>Technique doesn't matter unless you're lifting heavy
Are you trying to say that technique doesn't matter at 90kg snatch? It's an exercises that's known for going up mostly from technique especially at the lower ranks where people start barely knowing what they're doing and you're saying that the technique doesn't matter? Get the fuck out.
Also I don't have a hard time getting my classics up, I just said that they've gone up really well but the problem is that I'm losing motivation. Hell my max was 85kg just two weeks ago.
>>37393817
It's not that bad mate. The main thing is you have made progress. Some people will progress v quick in this sport others don't, if you're enjoying it then keep it up
>>37394180
I'm saying your problem is that you're weak.
There are people with the worlds most awful technique who can snatch more than you because they're strong.
>>37394261
Yeah of course but strength doesn't come quickly and there's no reason I shouldn't stick to an oly lifting program especially if I'm getting better at the classics while getting stronger. It's better than getting on a shitty strength program where I disregard the classics completely and just get my squat up.
>>37394191
Thanks, I keep going but I had a bad workout monday so it's been really hard on my motivation. Hopefully today goes better and I can get it back. I'm sure it will. It's the first time in months that I don't feel like going to the gym that much though, I hope it'll change.

SHOO SHOO GAIN GOBLIN
School shooting at ucla rn
Let's hope our friend caladan doesn't die before he kills himself while snatching
>>37390288
When your lifts look like that, yes.
Lu will never be your dad. It feels so bad. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BCcQLe8sinA&ebc=ANyPxKpyacogElfLXXNGUN6cH1ss49_gHOzYzTZhkrYRW_PhOTTR231THbRUd8-i6GE9NhkT7zJ_wT9S5_RPjAjEBpdePVhQcg
>>37394261
I think the world's most awful technique is not lifting at all.
I'm pretty sure 0kg is not greater than 90kg :^)
>>37374299
Why is Lu so cute?
So did Marzena retire or something?

I'm jealous of his wife. I wonder what's it's liked to be fucked by a superhuman.
>>37394261
>Thinks that you should only focus on strength if you're weak and want to get better at oly lifts
Not working on technique like you're suggesting just because he's weak is retarded. You're going to need to learn technique eventually.
>>37395205
You can't judge from that angle tbf youre just being a cunt
What is your favorite exercise and why is it power snatch?
>>37396826
Mines bench press
What does your 105 podium for the olympics look like lads? I have
1. Ilya Illin
2. Pat Mendez.
3. Klokov
>>37396882
get out
It must suck to be a competitor for the 77 in the Olympics knowing it's almost 100% impossible to win gold against lu xiaojun.
How many of you dudes bench and if you don't what do you do for chest, nothing?
Thinking of dropping it from TM and doing The Press™ full time to give my shoulders less shit and help out my jerk.
>>37397272
nothing really. I do close grip pushups for my triceps so I'm sure I get some chest in there with that
Hit a new floor pull PR!

what the fuck
and he still has better lifting shoes that I do with my fucking ristos
>>37396303
I can judge just fine at any god damned angle, you little punk. You just can't handle any form of criticism, as is clear from all of your responses to others offering advice. Why post a 'form check' when you don't care to listen to anything anyone has to say about your form?

I look bigger than you and I only weigh 70kg. I'm 5'10 btw
>>37397959
I find keeping shoulder mobility (not going overboard though) and keeping my shoulders warm/using them to lift helps a lot. Presses (especially BTN) make my shoulders feel good, particularly focusing on keeping my chest up real high (extending upper back) and scapulae retracted.
>>37398018
I have klinefelters. It's all in my genes bro :^)
