Why are the jannies holocausting our general?
How bad is snatching for my shoulders?
I've been wanting to get into WL, so I started doing some snatch drills (snatch push press, snatch balance, hang snatches, power snatches, overhead squats).
Just with the bar, some even just with a broomstick at home.
Now my left shoulder is cracking and popping even with normal, small movements.
It's not painful, but there is a slight discomfort.
After 4 years of lifting this is the first time I have issues with my shoulder.
Could it be that my shit mobility forces me into a compromising position?
>>37527362
snatching is usually not bad for shoulders unless you have insufficient shoulder mobility.
You need much warm up and mobility work before EVERY snatch workout.
If your mobility is not sufficient you should concentrate on fixing that before attempting to snatch.
>>37523533
>>37523440
I hope mods ban the power tripping janitors who thought this was a good idea, I don't care if commie is one if them he should know better
>>37527979
What would be "not sufficient"?
I *can* do overhead squats with a snatch grip, with my index finger right outside the ring marks is about as close as I can get.
The usual shoulder mobility assessments show that mobility is quite shitty though.
I've been doing mobility work daily (mainly dislocates for shoulders) for months, but I've not seen much improvement...
Does /owg/ have a list of lifts tripfags have done, like /plg/ does? If not, which trips here actually knows what they're talking about?
>>37528485
Do your mobility routine after exercising, when your body is well warmed up
>>37528531
tripfags are fags
What has /fit/ become when people actually want them around?
>>37528531
There was a list has made but some aren't confirmed.
Pas, commie, durkz, Geordie, kuya, ob, all have totals confirmed on video or comp. They're not all amazing but they lift what they claim
The notable two who act like bigguys (for u) are deliuge and trappy who spout advice like they're pros but neither has a total that is confirmed. Deli has videos on his Instagram and his tech isn't bad. Trappy has never shown anything.
>>37528686

back squat 3x5@ 85% followed by 3x3 Front squat at 90%
>end me
the good thing is thee past two weeks of squating i feel a lot stronger, like first monday 3x5 at 116kg was horrible, but this past week i did 116 5x5 much easier.
its great having a good program/coach to follow
>>37532686
Agree m8. My program of squatting was changed, % (of best normal squat) stayed same yet the word 'paused' added. Was hell at first and almost missed 3x3 @80% but the following weeks I did 6x3 and 5x2 easily. At this rate my current best back squat will be my new pause pr hopefully beltless too

Wasn't a conference hall, was a sports hall. I was there, I watched that.
>>37533412
You didn't see the men's superheavies in 2015. Literally 200 person crowd, the place was stuffed.
>>37533638
Wow a whole 200 people
That's nothing compared to how many weightlifting worlds get. Or euros. Shit, even the British champs this weekend got more. Pretty sure the fucking under 17 British got more than 200. Local meets can get that much.
Face it, powerlifting has even less mass appeal than weightlifting no two ways about it
>>37533787
>Wow a whole 200 people
The place was held in a tiny city in Finland two hours away from the capital.
Local WL meets and even the British do not get 200 people turning up to watch. They get the friends and family of the people lifting.
You are being disingenuous if you disagree.
is it good to use a hookgrip on the clean rack position?
We're you at the British this weekend? No. Way more than 200 in the crowd.
And regardless, what I said holds true. Powerlifting is not as popular because it's not a spectacle.
And who cares about where it was hosted. Euros were in forde this year which is tiny and they still sold out even b and some c sessions.

Isley gtfo. you're only competent in 1 of the 3 powerlifting lifts. How do u suck at such a basic sport?
>>37533827
No point, hook grip is used for a more solid grip on the bar during the pull, it'll have no benefit in the rack senpai
guys i was perfectly fine then I attempted a max out and had a 3 second grind and past 3 days my quadricep has been throbbing in pain randomly and it feels weak. I rolled it out last night and made it even worse it's terrible.

Commisar pls save the shitshow that /owg/ has become. Ur the one true king.
>>37535384
>>37535384
I have a plan going on behind the scenes to save us hehehe
Help me /owg/, I don't know how to clean.
Little bit of background, only been at it for about six months, but I feel like I "get" and understand the snatch. It's become a natural and intuitive motion to me, and if I'm doing something wrong on a particular day, I can reason through to the cause based on my instinct and knowledge of lifting mechanics.
Not so with the clean, and the problem is that I can't keep from slamming the bar into my thighs and losing all power using anything resembling orthodox form, no doubt partially because of my monkey arms. No matter what adjustments I make, I can't accomplish these three things in a single attempt:
> keep bar very close to body, particularly during the explosion (or whatever you care to call it)
> get decent power, bar elevation, and "oomph"
> use a grip width that is too narrow to be used seriously for snatching
I can get "oomph" and a natural-feeling motion by widening my grip to the point it should only be used for snatches (pointer fingers on the lines at 5'7" tall),
OR
I can keep the bar further away from my body, CoG over toes, bar two inches or more away from body during the explosion.
I can't think of any high level lifter other than that one chinese girl who use such a wide grip on the clean, nor anyone who keep the bar so far away from their bodies, even if there are a few who don't quite make contact with hips or legs. Keeping the bar away from my body feels totally natural and lets me pull more than widening my grip to the extreme, but I'm guessing the stress on my back will be too much once I graduate from baby weight. Grip width increase is such that the bar makes gentle contact with my hip crease; anything less and the bar crashes into my upper leg prior to the explosion, forcing me to bend my elbows and sapping all power from the lift. I've spent days upon days trying new things and fixing problems successfully in the snatch, but no amount of reasoning or effort has gotten me anywhere with the clean.

Isley is mad because I'm going to shit on his bench in under 2 months of training.
>>37535646
what are his lifts, also what is ur current bench?
>>37535680
shittt nigga extend more thats all about in pulls, also fucking fix your face, open mouth during lift of something
>>37535678
i think he benches 155.
I benched 150 at 85 and since ive started training it again ive gone from 130-148 in a few weeks but I'm around 98kg body weight now so its within reason that I'll be hitting a lot higher than 150 or 155 soon
>>37535680

Not locking out at the top properly.
>>37535740
This is literally a clean deadlift not a pull
>>37535882
not even that good no lockout and back not straight

>These are the people giving you advice on this board

>>37535916
People come into this thread, see him, and laugh at us. This is what /owg/ has become
>>37535905
I was taught not to lockour because you don't lockout a clean. Commie said it's ok to not lockout idk.
5x5 @ 80kg
>>37535981
but why dont you extend then?
>>37535981
extend, not just pull to mid thigh
its not a dl, its a pull
Did back squats today. Trying to see where my maxes are at. Got 285lbs for a double. I haven't done heavy squats in well over a year so I'm pleased even though it's not that great of a number

ye couple of times
he was light on programming tips but was impressed with people who taught themselves the lifts like girth brooks
he said I had good technique which I was surprised about because I really didn't at the time before our resident fat chinaman started critiquing my lifts
then I saw his crossfit athletes and I understood that my technique was good in comparison
oh also w.r.t. programming he pretty much just advocated bulg levels of intensity :^)

"
The team got first place in the first Project Lift Weightlifting League Series. Total points earned over 3 meets in 3 months.
They earned it. They worked hard, toughed it out, and ultimately placed their faith in my instruction. I am very proud of each of them, and I am honored to be their coach.
Not pictured: Bryan, whom I've always been particularly fond of. There will be that other, better picture with you in it later b-ran.
Photo credit: Project Lift"
The team had a really good meet, except Drake who bombed out on snatch. Possibly because his dad was there. Crushed shit in warmups and we timed his warmups like perfectly. Went up to 125 in the back and then lost 130 behind him, not staying over the bar long enough. I called for 135 as he should have been good for at least 140 that day, but the pressure was just too much and he crumbled for the last two attempts.
Unfortunate, but the awful taste of failure is one of the best teaching tools. He's a little mopey about it, but he's been graceful about it. He even apologized to the audience for cussing after he missed that third snatch. 171-176 in cj then missed 183, which would have been a new state record for the 105 weight class.
I had to drag him out of bed with his girl to work out tonight at like 10pm lol. Like no motherfucker you did not earn a day off. You get your ass in the gym right goddamn now. I didn't cuss like that, of course, but I made my expectations clear and he had a good workout. High hopes for state championships in August.
>>37549466
brasil is pretty qt
did u dick her bro
>>37549466
also I'm going to start sending out remote training stuff to a couple people who met me at the meet. Idk what the pricing usually is for that shit and I damn sure ain't working for free. If you guys have any input on price points for that shit and like how much coach involvement you get for how much money I'd really appreciate the info. Once I develop a product that I'm confident in, I'd like to expand the clientelle to include strangers like yall too
>>37549524
No, I have the utmost respect for the student/teacher relationship. I will never get involved with a chick I coach. As much as I'd like to, it would be actively destoying everything I've worked for years to build

howd the one 69/77 kid you were talkin about do? is he still on the team?
>>37549537
yeah he's the long hair dude. He went 105/123. 3/3 on snatch, about all he had in him there. 2/3 on cj. I let him try 130 since it he already had secured first place in the 77 category. He missed it and went 119-123-130x. He took third place overall, by sinclair
>>37549535
>As much as I'd like to
i like that you admit that you'd fuck this bitch given the chance

>>37549556
nice nice, is he still as annoying as i remember u saying he was? is he a full 77?
>>37549568
Actually he's way better now! I got him all socialized just like a cat lol. After I put him in his place in kentucky that one time, he's been meshing with the team's culture quite well, taking instruction well, and being generally more tolerable. Good guy, just needs structure. He weighed in at 76.0something. so basially a full 69 lol. If he stays healthy I might have him compete at 69 in august.
>>37549563
>i like that you admit that you'd fuck this bitch given the chance
you know it brother. Even if I'm her coach I still got balls and pulse!
The calf is a burn from a 4wheeler accident. I hit a branch that got kicked out in the trail and it went through the front fender, impacted my leg, shoved it through the rear fender, and pinned it directly on the muffler, which is what stopped me. Hit that fucker at like 20 miles an hour dude straight to dead stop. No time to brake or maneuver at all. Got a third degree burn that looks like africa. I'm lucky it didn't break my leg. We're all lucky it was me and not one of the other guys who are older and not in as good of shape. Less bone density and all that
