"Mutko (Russian Minister of Sports) says Lovchev declared the use of ipamorelin, which he used to help heal his knee injury."
just kill me pls, they won't allow this shit
>>35406290
They wont yeah, just like the nork. But i think lovchev has a known knee injury.
>>35406093
>>35405526
i see youre getting the hang of these now. gj
>>35406389
and he used some shit to heal I know but come on everybody know the banned substances, why did they use a banned one?
>>35406488
Because there are no effective non-banned ones for healing like that.
hey look at this
>>35406842
Interesting that 115 power clean is so easy for you, I can barely power clean 110, but we have about the same max.
>>35406881
My technique is terrible, i bleed efficiency everywhere. I used to do powercleans a lot also.
Why are supers like rezazadeh and salimi pretty fat when it comes to upper body mass but their legs are fairly lean or small (and to an extent their arms as well) in comparison?

Did you get 140 yet? I cleaned it yesterday but was outta steam for the jerk. Had made an easy 135 and hard 137 before it though.
>>35406967
Snatch was shitty but yesterdays 100/137 at 88kg is a 290 Sinclair thats cool. Closer and closer to 300
>>35406967
No :P. I'm actually really worried that i wont get it by new years :o
>>35406392
Thanks former Mattie webm guy.

How long did it take for you guys to get a perfect form ATG squat?
Still new to this, like a a couple weeks at a the oly gym and my shit is still not that great, but it's getting better.
>>35407774
I had it before I started weightlifting. Uh... 3 weeks I guess?
>>35407822
My front squat form is pretty solid from what the coach tells me but my back squat is not that great. Anyone know what's up? I would ask the coach, but he's not in until after the new years
>>35407874
I go to school with the girl on the left.
>>35407893
>>35407893
mandy kay? is that the one that does webshows
also someone pls answer my question
How long does it usually take to transition from Powerlifting to weightlifting and having half decent technique, granted I have a good coach and decent mobility?
>>35407971
4-5months
>>35406553
and the sports minister just admitted that he indeed used it
it's banned ooc as well no matter what the circumstances are as long as you're actively competing
i dont think they can save lovchev
>>35408171
so a weightlifter cant take tamoxifen if they have breast cancer? silly
>>35408220
why would someone compete if they have breast cancer
>>35407893
is she a huge slut
>>35408249
>>35408249
dying wish, late discovery, who knows
>>35408254
how are they taking tamoxifen if it's a late discovery
>>35408274
Ok, then its not late.
>>35406093
Very strong. A lot of it is technique (Oly). Even more so than Pl. And she has a nice ass. That never hurts.

nork = north korea
steroids eat your brain or something?
>>35408520
Holy shit that lumbar at :22
NO no no no
WHen you're in the hang, you should feel a stretch of the hamstring. This also means your lower back is solid. Youre losing so much power.
>>35408520
You pulled on that bar while it was still like 2 inches from your knee, was a make if you just had it close
>>35408637
As in, the bar was like 2 inches in front of your leg.
>>35408520
Watch the professionals, and compare how different their form is to yours. You're trying to "cheat" the lift by making it hamstring dominant. Keep the bar closer to your body, keep your torso more vertical, and make it a quadriceps dominant movement. Keep your weight on your heels from the get go rather than starting on the ball of your foot and rocking backward, then consciously and actively push your hips forward with your glutes. You're doing the motion in a manner similar to a hamstring dominant deadlift when it should be far more similar to a quadriceps dominant front squat. On the first two attempts, you started with a torso angle of around 20 degrees or less, and the bar appears to be at your knee or maybe even slightly above it. The pros will have their torsos at no less than 30 degrees by the time the bar reaches their knees, with some of them at 60 degrees or more. What is more sore after you do oly lifts, your quads or your hamstrings? It should 100% be your quads. Your final attempt was better, but it's a bad sign that your form is varying that much when you're trying to lift pretty substantial weight. I would also say that your back is too arched. Rounding your back is definitely very bad, but over arching isn't much better. Do you get crunchy vertebrae joints after a snatch session? If so, you're doing something wrong.

You don't need to type out the same thing three times mate.
what do you guys think about shoulder hyperextensions for shoulder health instead of reverse flyes
>>35412198
YES I DO
>>35412198
YES I DO
>>35412306
So why did you just type it out two times instead of three?
Morning gents. Knees are recovering from injuries, so I've been limited to power cleans and power snatches the past two months. Hit a power snatch pr of 210 ameripoons today. Hopefully when knees are recovered it will translate to a big pr as all time best full snatch is only 240#.

I plan on doing a 7 days a week workout to get back into it where I alternate between heavy upper-body day - light leg day and heavy leg day - light upper body to actually squat every day. Is this a good idea? Starting the second week I'll incorporate some olympic lifts into it to build my form back up.
who has a good Oly training routine.

ABABABAB forever
A:
am session: Snatch 85% of maximum
Squat 85% of maximum
pm session: Snatch to maximum
squat to maximum
B:
A:
am session: Clean and jerk 85% of maximum
Front Squat 85% of maximum
pm session: Clean and jerk to maximum
front squat to maximum
Or you can read the op
>>35414365
He isn't competing at the moment, so won't qualify. He could though, easily lifts enough, but he'd have to cycle off.
>>35414449
oops i messed up
>>35414449
If you're feeling good and 85% feels easy do you Max in the am too?
What if you're missing at 85% do you work to a daily Max or a true Max?
>>35406842
nice meth lab
>>35414709
If you seriously want to do this then i'd recommend only doing am session on 1 or two days in the week. Dont max in the am, but sometimes i let myself go a little heavier or lighter
>>35414728
:^(
>>35413344
Too much arm before extension. Pull should be all legs, then arms.
You're a pretty bigguy4me. so you get away with it now, but you will quickly find a ceiling, and a fairly low one at that. I have a feeling you could pull significantly more weight if you concentrated on using your legs more. Have someone who knows what they're looking for watch you lift, and to yell and smack you on the head when they see you bend your arms too soon. The watcher must be bigger than you for this to work properly. If there is a sub-current of potential sexual violence behind this, even better. Negative reinforcement is a powerful motivator.
Good, good, good. Okay. Keep lifting.
>>35414114
LSUS if you're proficient in the classics and want to get strongerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
http://www.builtforthisathletics.com/the-program
The base program is fine as is, but it is highly customizable so don't be afraid to trade out lifts, etc. Just keep the periodization the same--that's the key.
>>35410897
Yeah. It's for sure leg strength. I struggle so much getting up from heavy cleans.
I've made great gains doing RSR, but it's such a strict program. Mostly it bothers me because I'm in Uni and it forces me to put off going out, drinking, etc, because "I have to squat tomorrow."
>>35410984
Lol I wish. I'm so weak. Although I do take great pride in being really efficient and technical.
>>35414977
>sub-current
>behind
Apologies. There must be a sub-current of rape BENEATH his surface actions. Like muscles shifting under skin. Uncanny.
>>35415025
>>35410440
91/105@125 BS is really fucking efficient.
im at like 78/103 w/ a 145 BS
>>35415184
1:1 efficiency usually just happens when you're a noob. When I first started I had a 120BS, 110FS, and a 115 c&J.
Cleaning higher numbers requires better and better technique, while squatting more usually just requires you to be stronger.
>>35415363
Wanna try again buddy?
>>35415363
I just don't get why everyone here is so concerned about their efficiency...... like work on your technique and get stronger..... no one cares if you back squat as much as a girl and clean an jerk 100kg
>>35415363
Some newbies even have a level of superefficiency that the pros can never hope to have. I remember the first time I did a full clean I could do 130kg easily, but my best front squat was only 105kg.
>>35415481
fuck if I know. It's not like you prioritize squatting over technique work and doing the classics anyways.
>>35415440
what?
>>35414709
>feels easy
> in the am
nothing feels easy in the morning senpai
even going to the gym aint easy
>>35415481
It's good to be efficient, but what I'm concerned about is getting stronger bc it doesn't matter if you're efficient but have a shit total.
I want to hit 250kg at -77kg for uni nationals this Sept.
>>35415527
That's right. I spent sooo much time doing the classics, that I'd say I have pretty good form. So now, overall strength is what's limiting me. I guess that's better than it being the other way around, though. Getting stronger is supposed to be the "easy" part. Although that's not what I'm finding.
>>35414817
Daily max or go to 100% of all time?
I'm not in a position to do this ATM. On a program where I'm trying to get my technique better, I catch everything high and I'm quite inflexible. Not been concentrating on wl for long, yet to even snatch bw. Just curious in your programming I'm a bit of a nerd
hey owg wanna give me some tips and help clean up my form?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4HaQ210EuA
>>35415888
Maximal attempt, which is going 100%. It might not match your pr though.
>>35415943
Nah, if your technique isn't great, don't do daily max. That's advanced shit, man. Focus on 70-80% and go for SOLID reps each time. Remember that training only makes perfect if your training is perfect. So make every rep look perfect.
>>35415965
Well if your technique isn't ok at least this program isnt for you
>>35415965
My programme currently goes from 70-90 and then Max week over several weeks
It was put to me as a middle ground where you can make PRs etc but in the lighters weeks also work on technique too
My.biggest issue is catching low in the snatch. I power everything especially when it gets heavier. So frustrating as i powered my pr and I know if have way better numbers if I sort it out
>>35415977
Then why do you do it?
>>35413835
I don't into owg threads, friend
>>35416059
It's the best method for getting stronk and gud at wl.
>>35416059
have you seen his webms
i like to make fun of cmmsru but he actually has decent technique despite the faces he makes
>>35416076
my techniqe is garbage lmao
Is reading the power clean section on starting strength the best way for me to learn the power clean or is there anything better?
>>35416098
no. Read books and stuff in the op and model elite lifters.
>>35415932
please respond m8s
>>35416127
Which link contains books?
>>35416055
Ok let me tell you right now you need to STOP doing powers. They will only reinforce bad technique (i.e. Not willing to catch it as low as possible). Powers should be done for explosiveness, and training max power output. That's not what you need.
Once you're comfortable doing a full snatch properly, THEN you can do powers.
I have a friend that catches it high and rides it down. When weight gets heavier, he eventually fails. This is because as the weight gets heavier, he cannot get the bar to a height he is comfortable getting under - because he's acclimated his body to only getting under when it's high enough to power.
A huge part of successful technique is being able to get under the bar even when it's not high "enough." but that's the point: it IS high "enough," it's just gonna be really low.
If you're doing it subconsciously, do drop snatches (Without dipping, so youre literally just dropping.)
>>35416092
It really isn't desu. Bar is close. Strong extension. Decent catch.
I'd be v happy with that catch desu mine is horrid
>>35416072
Not for beginners.
>>35416157
I hear ya breh. I meant I power it as in I catch high, I'm not trying to do it on purpose.
An international coach told me.it looked like tight hips and unstable in bottom position causing me to subconsciously catch high and ride it in.
I've been doing more snatch balance and also I've been pausing in the hole like Everett said also if I do catch high I ride it down.
>>35416183
It's for everyone
>>35416224
Tightness might be it. My friend is tight as well. I also recommend to stay down there with lighter weight. Move around. Explore the area down there.
Also stretch man.
>>35416267
Where u get the old skool singlet
>>35415932
Barefoot? Wtf is ur problem????
Also, you aren't fully extending on the second pull. Work on extending from the hang, squeeze ur fuckin glutes man
>>35416290
I have noticed this when I extend I leave the floor and I sort of land on straight legs then I start to squat down after I landed again
How do I begin to pull under sooner? Or land already sitting in?
Obvs this happens in a short moment I'm not leaping 2 feet in the air
>>35416301
>Barefoot? Wtf is ur problem????
do I really need to put lots of money on adipowers?
I will make sure to fully extend my hips next time hope I don't hit my dick.
>>35414449
i thought for a second that was you
>>35416310
Do hangs from a very high position.
So, ok, deadlift the bar. Stand up straight with it. Then, do a small dip with the knees, keeping your back vertical. Just like a jerk, but a very shallow dip. From that position, explode into a full bottom position clean. That will force you to immediately get under the bar bc you won't be able to get much height.
Make sense?
>>35416333
So don't buy adipowers?
>>35416333
Do you want us to take you seriously? Get some fucking shoes
>>35416348
I have chucks but surely there is not difference compared to barefoot? I thought you meant a heeled shoe.
>>35416352
that doesn't make sense
>>35416344
Yeah. Shall I do it with snatch too? Cleans I don't really struggle to get under which again leads me to think it's a mobility issue with the bar overhead
I do snatch balance, muscle snatch (the variation in yasha blog) and with the bar I do that thing where I go from bar at hip on tiptoes to snatch catch (some sort of balance or drop idk name) and I seem to be catching a bit lower since but still above parallel
>>35416364
Doesn't make sense? Does sprinting barefoot make serious sense? Get some (weightlifting) shoes dumbass
>>35416376
>Does sprinting barefoot make serious sense?
http://www.olympic.org/videos/abebe-bikila-barefoot-to-olympic-gold
>>35416293
looks more like a wrestling singlet 2bh
>>35416369
Yeah works great with snatches as well.
I find it easier for the weight to push me lower with cleans. Just think it's b/c weight is in front of you so your spine has to be a lot more vertical. Dunno though.
>>35416364
Try to save for weightlifting shoes.
No rush.
>>35416364
romaleos and adipowers are on sale off of eastbay. if youre still too poor to afford those eem when theyre on sale then idk what to say nigga
>>35416441
Thanks for being reasonable. I don't really feel limited by my ankle mobility so I don't know why I should get WL shoes asap.
>>35416452
The shipping/EU taxes to my country add a lot compared to US prices. Otherwise I'd hate taken advantage of deals long ago. Are the powerlift 2.0s and the power perfects shit?
>>35416473
pp2s are decent. never tried them but seems like a lot of people use them
>>35416473
Oh man you're gonna fuck something up if you keep lifting barefoot. It's not even about mobility. Shoes will give you more surface area, better grip. At least take your fucking socks off.
But w/e, don't listen.
>>35416491
lmao saying he's gonna fuck himself up not using an expensive shoe, fuck off adishill

Kek, I never said to specifically get adipowers. I said get weightlifting shoes. Period.
To hit my goal i have to do 105/140 by new years lmao.
Then deload week(i'm gonna add some bb and core work during this week), add 25-35kg on my squat, 15kg on my snatch and 10kg on my cj so i can hit 120/150 for my comp in march.
should be ez

Are u legit a commie
Guys. Yesterday before my squat sesh I felt a weird tingling in my calf. I hadn't been to gym 3 days prior. I went ahead and front squatted anyway. Immediately after the pain spread to my knee, and upper right side of my hamstring and quad. I couldn't walk very well for 2 days.
Now there is just a dull soreness in my knee, and I can't squat down even bodyweight without pain.
What the fuck happened? Any experience with this?
Does anyone have that .webm of some dude walking on the back of another lifter and doing a little squat/back-crack at the end? I think it was from ATG
>>35417350
ye
>>35417501
how old are you commisar?
>>35417501
also what kind of stretching bullshit do you do?
>>35417518
I stretch my legs and glutes a little before i go to sleep. I do shoulder dislocations before bed and foam roll too.
Commisar Interview; the Thread
Only dabble is weightlifting, just work mainly power snatches in my routine. Is it worth it for me to get my usaw 1? The gym i go to is having the seminar there.
didnt feel like making a webm out of it desu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKTNjQPgoNE
>>35418062
Why would you get it if you aren't a weightlifter?
>>35418264
Man... Idk. You think it's legit?
>>35418529
exp, and later when i get a good coach, this town has just cross fit coaches
>>35418665
bae, who is the cuck at the end? Get out of the bideo faggot!
>>35418782
isn't it expensive as shit?
you'd be better off finding a decent coach, you'd learn more from that than a 1 day seminar. and you'll actually keep what you learn since you also practice it everyday with a coach compared to the certification
>>35418851
good idea m8
>>35405398
just finished 5 hour workout
this post training burrito is fucking godly
how'd your guys days go?
any drills to give fast elbows?

why do their strong lifters suck monkey dick on jerks
i dont remember a cj specialist from sk they're all good on snatch/cleans never on jerks
>>35419584
if tian tao could jerk what he cleaned he would clean and jerk 250 at 85kg bodyweight kek.
his jerk is getting very good though.. just needs a little refining.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_JNWdfo7a8
is this the most beautiful front squat of all time bros?
cant wait until he uploads himself front squatting 290
>>35406929
they also tend to catch higher than the lower weight classes.
when you are that height/weight your levers are better for pulling than squatting. obviously they squat a ton, but compared to a lower weight class it is more beneficial to bias the training more towards pulling
>>35419620
is tian tao the sexiest man of all time?
i think yes, n-no homo

I'm 5'8", but I will have girls straight up tell me as I'm walking down the street that I am fine as fuck. "Mmmm, damn, I was just straight STARING at you lol" "Oooh, my dad was just like that" "Oh, you cute--yeah, you know, I see you know." Shit like that.
Stay mad, though, bro. It's a great look for you.

do u live in niggerville?
>>35420373
I've lived all over the place. Black and latina girls are the most vocal, but I receive plenty of compliments from white girls as well.

Could probably snatch 105kg by then. I doubt you'll put 35-45kg onto your clean and jerk in 9 months though.
>>35421104
Damnit don't say that :(
>>35421345
Well by the looks of your numbers your technique isnt the limiter... If it was you could make big leaps as it gets better. It looks like what you really need to do is get stronger. Squat and pull alot I guess. It looks to me like basically a question of how strong you can get before then.
how large of a part does upper back (read: lats) strength oly lifting
i was reading this thing about how one chinese lifter couldn't snatch for like 3 months and all he did was pull up variations and he did quite well

for reference
I am a typical fat powerlifter with zero conditioning.
I get tired from benching, and when I try anything athletic such as power cleans I become extremely tired and out of breath.
How can I improve my conditioning?
>>35422158
Do more conditioning work
>>35422158
High rep squats.
any tips? I know the clean was a grinder. Was PR on a comp. 111kg

thank you hungry skeleton

Did last year, but I'd like to total 250kg there this year because I feel like that's around the qualifying total for the AO
Hi guys, I want to get Weightlifting shoes, but i have very large feet. My current shoe size is 11.5 length, 6E wide. What can you reccomend?
I hear romaleos are larger, but I still think they're probably too narrow for my feet.
Should I get a custom made shoe if those exist?
Thanks

used to think OWG was supportive
I've just started starting strength and it was my first time ever doing power cleans and I can power clean just over my body weight. (80kg) for 3 reps.
Is that good or am I doomed to be forever subpar.
I know I'm on SS but I've been powerlifting for a few months beforehand.
>>35423143
>custom shoe
just get romaleos if you have the money
>weightlifting is measured in kilograms
>kilograms are a unit of mass, not of weight
>should actually be called masslifting
/MassliftingGeneral/ when?
>>35422556
>>35423156
the answer is probably get stronger/bigger. there are no major flaws in your tech, except maybe extend more w/ legs and split wider in jerk.
but for the most part, when in doubt just get stronger.
>>35423698
yeah thanks
Are you suppose to like bang the bar with your hips / thighs to explode it up?
>>35423728
you should make hip contact but banging is not good. the bar should travel so close to the thigh that the banging is not even possible
>>35423854
So I shouldn't thrust my hip to push the bar? The bar is already in contact with the thighs and hip, I just push through the hip to kinda explode it outwards.
>>35423156
>>35423716
lol
>used to think owg was supportive
>owg on 4chan
>supportive
>>35423890
The bar is lifted via the extension of the hips
That's doesn't mean the 'hit' is what creates the momentum on the bar tho
>>35423890
push through agressively to explode outwards yes. if the bar is too far away the banging will happen and the path of the bar will be bad.
>>35423952
>>35423934
Alright, thank you.

THE CRAIC'S NINETY LAD!
How important are good WL shoes?
How much benefit will I get from a pair of Romaleos vs a £50-60 pair of shoes?
>>35421836
Any recommended strength programs? (I'm not a big fan of Catalyst progs desu). Should I just program myself? I tend to fuck percentages and progression up, though.
Something I can run parallel with RSR.
Finally landed myself a coach and holy shit i already feel my technique improving.
Im able to do a full squat clean and im getting a snatch form that isnt shit now.

good ones add 10-16kg to your lifts
>>35427977
>>35423235
I have the money but are they wide enough? My foot is like 4.5 inches wide..
I don't wanna blow 200$ and have them not fit lul
>>35427777
how are they not fucking up their shoulders?
also, checked
>>35428368
By working them often enough to make them strong.
>>35410440
M8... why would your cj go from like 15kg over your s to 35-45. Makes no sense. Maybe u shoot for 105 125
>introductory session with my first coach on Monday
I'm excited, hopefully I get along with him and my lifts don't depreciate too much from the shit load of inevitable tech work taht replaces them
>>35430540
good luck
>>35428344
no m8 your feet are one of a kind
no weightlifting shoe is big enough to fit them
fucking retard
