>>36988717
not my fault you didnt get it and think bb would have helped.
>>36988747
you're a fucking retard if you think his bone snapped and think bb wouldn't have helped with what happened to him
>>36988927
Watch the webm and see why it snapped in the first place.
He tried to save the lift when it went behind his head, no amount of bb would have helped you fucking newbie.
>>36988744
nah, his elbow
>>36989002
>He tried to save the lift when it went behind his head
he regularly misses his jerks behind you fucking newbie who dont know what he talmbout lmao

>>36989316
You lift at a crossfit gym or a weightlifting gym?
I can't pay this 120 a month anymore senpai, especially with no coach
>>36989326
no i go to calstremf
what's the 120 for
>>36989336
Its just to lift whenever I want basically.
Used to have a coach, but they moved over the winter so no point paying that much anymore
posting clarence until we get to the front page
>>36989993
got powerlift 2.0s today and i was walking around the house in them, lower back felt activated as fuck after 5 mins
>>36989997
check em
>>36990002

>>36989997
why does he 'sit in' to the squat at the end?
>>36990023
it would be weird if he "stand in" to the squat bro
>>36990023
not 100% sure tbpf senpai
could be because of long femurs combined with going as low as possible?
>>36990056

says the guy who just bought his wl shoes

>>36990076
lol fair point, although at the gym i go to you rent out wl shoes for like 50 cents a session so it's not like i started last week f a m
>>36990104
>not like i started last week
so two weeks was enough to make you an authority in these threads since you can make webms huh

ur the fucking faggot everyone hates just cause you dont post with a trip rn makes u think i dont u

i don't really post that often senpai i think you have me mixed up with someone else
does Clarence juice? I don't see how he can be so strong and not want to compete

there's no way he could be natural especially with robotic knees

sickening jerk
felt pretty ez but my extension isnt full and my elbows didnt go up like i wanted
jerk was just unstable
couldnt stand with 145 :^(
>>36990020
that's the most exaggerated scapular retraction I've ever seen
Hey bros im a powerlifter but I was hoping for some advice on Oly lifts. Im trying to work on my Clean and Jerk form but im not sure how I should be progressing in weight since im not a dedicated Oly lifter and only do it once a week. My form gets bad if the weight is to light and so ill bring the bar higher than I should, and my hip thrust becomes nonexsistent because im sort of rowing the bar since its so light. Obviously if its to heavy my form breaks down.
How should I go about getting the form down since I dont have anyone to coach me on it? I could always post again for a form check I guess
>>36991833
My coach had me go really heavy really often when i was starting to make me get more consistent, but obviously he was there to change things i needed to change.
>>36991870
Sounds like ur both idiots senpai
>>36991891
Idk bb seems 2 work 4 me

>>36995901
They're sexy but you will look like a dick if you don't have a good total
My jerk is 17.5kg behind my clean
How do I get confidence to have same tech with Max weights as I do with lower ones?
>>36996001
repetition and consistency
I just came across this badly-formatted, oddly specific website
http://powercleanbible.com/
I want to take the advice but this guy's power clean PR is like 110kg or something?
anyone know anything about this?
>>36993676
probably because activating a muscle for the first time when you're in the hardest position on the squat sucks, just don't hyperextend your lumbar and you'll be fine
>>36990187
jesus christ
that reverse curl
>can out squat Rob Blackwell
>don't even lift as much as David M from CS
FuckME!
>>36997507
david seems like a reasonably good lifter
>>36997507
becuz ur tech is shit
you deadlift the bar up thats no good
>>36997472
There was no hint of reverse curling that ya moron
>>36997507
Penny finally dropping?
>>36997507
>>36997604
Seriously, durkz, mate, if you just took a few months to retune your body to actually performing the lifts correctly you'd actually see some dece progress. Three no point in having a 220 squat if you can't even clean 150 consistently and proficiently.
>>36997572
david is good, lots of the new cs kids have decent tech like i've been saying for the past few months
that includes me btw :DDD
>>36997507
his best snatch is 137.5, best clean off blocks is 170
best bsquat is 210 he struggles to dl 170 off the ground lol
>>36998042
That's interesting. Have their methods changed much?
>>36998042
Shame they are known for ugly lifting with worse music and a bad attitude
I also don't believe you have good tech ;^)
I already know you have a bad attitude tho
>>36998126
yeah, since torokhtiy came there's been more focus on using accessory lifts to fix technique rather than just cuing the athlete to do shit differently like they have before torokhtiy
>>36998147
look at devin, stephen ngo, david, kristen they all have been lifting for less than 3 years and have decent tech, idk what you define as good but i think a 120 snatch is good tech for lifting under a year?
>>36998152
calstrength's accessory lifts are always shit though
>>36998188
what do you mean? programming wise? they dont appear on program we do it based on what the lifter needs to focus on
like i said we've been doing what torokhtiy taught in his seminars, even the kids you dont see in videos that aren't weightlifters learn faster due to that
not everything we do is shown on film
>>36998177
I don't believe u snatch 120 8-)
But srs if you do yeah that's very good m8 most people don't get 100in a year
What age and weight? CS seem to be producing some good young lifters, desu they need to. Donny and Jon norf for all their critics were good but they need something proper coming through, Nicole lim and Scott hisaka are just Instagram personalities
>>36998233
A lot of the accessories they do are useless and dont transfer to the lift
>>36998246
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jshGa0skSnw
im not stephen btw, and not gonna tell u age and weight cause that's gonna identify me lol
>>36998261
how do you even know what we do? it's not shown on film, they dont film accessories and most of what's seen in videos are two days out of the 6 days the team trains, mostly wed and friday. technique is stuff is mostly tue/thurs and some sats
>>36998307
from what i've seen it's mostly not useful
but i dont really do any accessory besides squat and rack jerk
>>36998329
you need to do some rack holds your upper erectors are weak as shit
>>36998278
your either the devin guy or david m
wouldnt surpise me if you are david coz he looks like an autist desu
>>36998278
U the fat guy rnt u

here's one
like i said you wont be seeing them since they are not filmed
>>36998358
yeah that's ok
>>36998346
lol that kid dont come to cs anymore his brother jaden is a beast tho
>>36998344
devin hasn't snatched 120, david has been lifting for more than a year
>>36998278
>im not stephen
Shut up, Stephen.
People unironically go to calstrempth?
>>36998755
they produced national medalists unlike u tho
>>36998785
just wait
>>36998785
that means shit in the USA lol
>>36998344
devin looks like a bigger autist tbqh
>>36998755
Isn't that the best weightlifting place in the USA? Or are there other ones that are better?
>>36998785
Oh gosh you're right anon
Never making fun of calstrength again
>>36998859
p-podium gold
>>36998859
>calstrength

Wew
I don't even hold usa wl in high esteem but now you're just insulting us
>>36998878
>I don't even hold usa wl in high esteem
exactly, cause you're so new it's hard to appreciate what usa wlers do
i used to hate usa wl too then i started competing and realized i'm shittier than these people i hate on, then i dont hate on them nemore
>>36998878
I have no idea about weightlifting training centers anywhere in the world man.
>>36998329
>>36998877
What's with the shitting on accessories, don't all the WLers do them? Do you even do pulls?
>>36998859
The OTC is probably 'the best'. Cal Strength just has a high profile from their self-promotion.
>>36998945
>The OTC is probably 'the best'
It's the olympic training center, it's supposed to be the best. I'm talking about places anyone can join.
>>36998907
I don't hate usa wl lol
They just think they're as good as the rest of the world minus drugs when they're not
>>36998913
not much
>>36999004
I just remembered you train Bulgarian style. Doesn't really work for guys like me who can't hit the gym daily.
>>36998177
120 snatch isnt good tech lol, its not a bad w8 tho desu m8
>>36998970
calstrength is reasonable considering it's taking responsibility for Moorman and Kitts even though Wes has dogshit technique
I am pretty sure a lot of the others train independently. I like Alex Lee the most out of the lot but I don't think he trains on a 'team', just travels to SK and other places for personalized stuff. I could be wrong though, this is just what I've been able to find through looking him up
>>36999262
no alex has a coach thats been with him for a long time

How important is stretching/foam rolling calves?
https://www.instagram.com/p/BE4HMOkG1jm/?taken-by=japadu
Jerks felt so light today. I was gonna try 160 and then this happened..... it actually got fucked up on the dip... I have no idea why I re-racked it instead of just dropping it.
>>36999684
i got sort of a urik vardarian bullshit jerk stance going on too. gotta get front foot out more
are there any germans in here?
>>36999096
Tbf not many people even hit 100 within a year, must be doing something right
>>36999527
Stretching for ankle dorsiflexion is pretty major.
>>36999684
M8 you're strong and brave but can your ego just allow you to work on your lifting before you really fuck urself up?
Is it really a problem that I can't squat/do full lifts without knee sleeves or wraps and avoid pain?
I've tried not using them for a while but my knees hurt too much
>>37000094
What you mean? it was a fluke. like I didn't do anything wrong on that lift for it to get hurt.
>>37000272
just stop responding to these weak idiots
every time someone gets injured they ofc know better and always say i told you so, shouldve worked on form better lmao fag
it's fucking useless they wont learn unless they get injured themselves
>>37000350
I guess... It wasn't even on the split. Like it was on the dip.... Maybe I should have foam rolled my legs more...
>>37000468
what is this?
>order Power Perfect 2's three weeks ago via adidas website

>>37000523
u can just do that one lol m8, maybe change a few bits once u get the general idea for how the programming works
i do basically the same stuff myself, i just modify the frequency of certain stuff in my generator to help it address my weak points better, and if some session looks dumb ill fix my prog generator and remake the session
>>37000568

what is pause pull? Just a pause clean pull? snatch pull? explain desu

Anyone here got any experience with an irritated hip flexor? Ive been gradually getting more pain in one hip flexor and i think its because ive started squatting too soon after ankle injury. I heard that i should let it rest (of course), and even refrain from stretching it? I thought stretching was good for injury treatment..
any thoughts brehs?
>>37010299
Yes. Don't do direct static stretches, but stretch 'around' it, especially your groin. Continue to exercise, but listen to your body and don'the push through any actual pain. If we rested every time some muscle in our body was 'irritated' we'd never get out of bed.
>>37010299
I have the same issue.
It was fine whrn I took a few weeks off. BUt dont just hop back into squats, go back in light and slow.
>>37008962
interesting, assumed it was bad shoulder mobility but it seemed to be fine
Noob here.
Does "power cleaning" the weight, instead of a normal clean get you a no-lift in comp.? I understand that at heavier weights, you won't even be able to power clean it, but are they strict on clean form in competition?
>>37010499
No, you can clean it any way you want, unless your knees touch each other or your elbows touch your knees.
>>37010499
You can do any kind of clean. Look at iwf rules. Aslong as the bar doesn't stop (so you couldn't continental clean it) you can power it, muscle it, whatever
My LCL is badly strained. Recovery time is 3 weeks - 3 months.. I already bought my plane tickets to nationals on the 21st. Should I just go for it and say fuck it?
>>36989993
does clarence post here or do you just like his youtube channel?
>>37010608
you get a very, very limited amount of time as a competitive athlete. if you really want to push yourself and see how far you can go, you will need to compete with injuries. is it good for your long term health, obviously no, but you knew that already. it's your call
https://www.instagram.com/p/BE6kf5Kikga
what do u guys think
>>37010629
are you serious?
if you want a very limited time as a competitive athlete, sure go with that attitude i guess
if you're not going to medal/win/set a record/qualify for worlds/olympics (depending on what level you expect to reach in your career i guess), there's no reason whatsoever to compete injured
Prd yesterday with an 81kg CnJ. I still think I'm catching the clean kind of high. People tell me I'll start catching lower one I start hitting serious weight. Should i deload and try to correct it or just go HAM?
Felt good man
Wore a belt and sleeves so I'll post this in /fraud/ as well
think i can add like 12kg onto that?
i never took my pulls or push press training seriously but i'm going to do them seriously 1-2 times a week from now on
I swear!
>>37010629
I was planning on retiring into powerlifting when I can't improve as a weightlifter anymore. I'm clearly more gifted in just raw strength anyway.
>>37011176
:^P
>>37011185
if you focused on technique for a while (6 months to a year or more, whilst still progressing squats/pulls ofc) you would be a far better weightlifter
>>37011277
pas wechat
>>37011277
That's impossible w/ current job. It's just depressing to know that If I would have become a powerlifter instead of a wler I would have probably broken all the provincial records by now.
>>37011472
What are your lifts vs the records now?
>>37011472
thats what you think
>>37011542
i was within 5kg of the bench record as an 85
my squat is 220 maybe more considering my front squat has gone up and I don't do back squat anymore and record is 259
my deadlift was 235 as an 85 and the record is 275 i think. I quit deadlifting a long time ago....
for reference the best squat was 180-190 when i had a 235 deadlift.
>>37011195
you have a slighter better clean and jerk than me and i can push press 110
you'll get up there really fast if you do it a bit more
Hey guys
Can I have a form check?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73VUtOzIWEM
I have an ankle injury that seriously impairs my flexibility, so it's only power snatches and power cleans for the time being. How does the rest look?
>>37008082
there's a big difference between squatting twice a week and squatting every day
>>37012716
You did everything wrong.
>>37013139
Thanks. Care to give some advice in how to improve? :(
>>37011185
How long have you been lifting for?
>>37012797
Twice a week is more than adequate if you're not weak as fuck
Far better spending time on classics/variations
>>37013157
I suck at WL but keeping your back straight and not jumping back would be good.
Squatted a beltless pb in a commercial gym (thegym for fellow britbong) it was either 150 or 155kg cos I think the bar was 15kg maybe
Got looked at like I was an absolute madman
>>37013269
yeah if your goal is to suck at weightlifting
>>37013336
Yeah sure, spend all your time squatting instead of weightlifting and see how good u get
U fuckin mug
>>37012716
Your starting position is basically like a snatch-grip SLDL. Bring your hips way the fuck down. You start your second pull maybe three inches above your knee, which is way, way, way too soon. Spend time finding your pocket, which should be right around the crease in your hip. You extend aggressively from there, nowhere else.
You don't finish the second pull and try to rush under the bar. Be patient. Extend as high as you can.
Your feet in the catch are wide and splayed unevenly. If you were to try to catch like that in a full squat you would lose the lift and probably pull something in the process. Your powers, especially for a newbie, shouldn't be much different than your full lifts, other than the catch above parallel. Drill your foot transition. No weight, just practice moving from extension to catch.
You receive the bar with your shoulders and upper back loose. The weight will really crush you with anything heavier. Fixation is critical. Work on it.
You catch the bar way behind. That looked painful. Was it painful?

Who said squatting often and doing the lifts were mutually exclusive?
You can happily squat 3 or 4 times a week and still get loads of volume in with the full lifts and variations, and still have room for accessories if you want.
Obviously in general your main focus should be the lifts as that's what weightlifting is but you dont get good at them if you dont have good squat numbers. And you can reach those numbers far faster squatting 3/4 times per week than you can once or twice.
Squatting isnt that hard.
>>37013328
p sure ive been lifting with a women's bar the past several weeks.
don't matter, been setting imaginary prs like cray.
>>37013391
You know you can squat at the end of a long session right?
You lazy fuck
>>37013583
Lay off man I get tired easy

My gym has regular length bars that weigh 15 kg, I always feel inferior to the people with nice bars and colored plates.
Anyway how do I fix elbow pain, more triceps and biceps work?
>>37013650
The worse part is the bar was thick as fuck I don't even have small hands but I couldn't hookgrip it properly and it rested on my traps weird
>>37013509
Thanks man. This looks like very good advice.
Nope, not painful at all. In fact, the entire movement felt very smooth, albeit somewhat weak. I also understand completely what you mean about exploding too soon, it's very clear now that you mention it - I had the same problem in the clean but it was somehow easier to fix, there.
A full squat is not possible for the moment because of the injury - you can't really tell in the video but I have a brace on my left ankle - but I see what you mean.
I'll try your advice tomorrow, thanks a lot!
>>37013317
His small jump back isn't really the main problem.
>>37012716
I don't know what's up with your ankle but proper weightlifting shoes will put it in a better position either way. The other comment covered it well, you need to have a proper starting position, and work on extending more, especially since you're doing a power variation.
K I have a highbar squat question friends.
so I did 240x25 today on an amrap day in my program right(felt like I had more but was out of breath and arms were tingling) but I tested my max on friday and I struggled with 330x1. I mentioned this to some other lifting dudes and they all said that that was whack.
thoughts?
>>37015545
Yeah bro 330kg squat is whack as fuck
>>37015583
Good one. All measures in LBs nerd
>>37015545
Lol nice meme program
Also being able to hit lighter weights at higher reps doesn't mean you'll be significantly stronger
>>37015664
I figured as much but surely that should indicate a higher max than my current one. Greg cuckols beginner 3x a week squats senpai. Pretty enjoyable
Please gib sparrow nude album link pls

Well have you considered being fatigued from the day before
>>37015545
You got a stupid body probably
>>37015545
just b urself
>>37002563
anyone?
>>37002563
is this in LA somewhere, looks familiar
and dunno what you mean about the foot
>>37016829
im not him but it looks like it turns out and gets up on toes early compared to the right foot
i've seen koreans/aramnau do this, it happens when you try to push the knees out so much at the start of the pull, i don't think it's something that should be paid any attention to unless it starts causing problems
klokov and russians teach the knees out at the start of the pull too they say it makes you feel your legs work better
>>37016975
yeah I realized that too but it didn't even occur to me to point out as a problem, thought he meant in the split or something
I actually find that knees out keeps my bar path much straighter fwiw
she pretty qt tho

>>37015545
When you say 240x25, that's for one set, no breaks whatsoever?
>>37017129
that clean looked like snap city
>>37017318
wow you must be really good at this
>>37015545
>>37015545
Nevermind, doesn't really matter.
So, you basically just did a set of 'breathing' squats, which is where you take your 10RM which should be ~75% of your max. Obviously if you can do the weight for 20 reps it's not a real 10 rep max, but really anything under, like, the 2-3RM range isn't going to be very accurate, and you're going to be able to push more given the right conditions. This is more exaggerated the lower the weight. Anyway, you were able to bang out 25 at 240, but you were fucking smoked afterward. This suggests that 240 is closer to your 12 or 13 'RM', which should be around 68% of your max. (240/.68) is about 352, which is probably possible for you if you really went for it like a true one rep max--which I don't recommend.
>>37017428
>which is where you take your 10RM which should be ~75% of your max
and do it for 20***

hmm.. okay, interesting. a year or two ago i strained my ankle, although it wasn't too bad. i followed up with a ton of yoga, so my rom was never impacted. i wonder if it's due to that.
i also seem to only move my right foot out on the snatch. it's not an issue, and it doesn't cause any problems. but curious if it's negatively affecting my lifts.
>>37017515
oh yeah you used to work at krec huh
you need to get stronger bro
>>37016975
>klokov and russians teach the knees out at the start of the pull too they say it makes you feel your legs work better
yes, definitely fires the hips and inside/outside of thighs, i think

>tfw no gym bros
>>37017528
haha oh fuck! yah i did.. who are you?
yeah, i know.. school, man..i also suck at following programs. i'm still at 92kg snatch 104kg cnj and 124kg bsq..
>>37017562
white dude who does wl sometimes, 95/125 at around 80kg bw
stopped going so often because the squat rack sucks, the floor underneath is uneven and soft and I just can't get my head straight
that's the wooden volleyball courts right, how do you lift in there?
>>37017597
oh.. english dude??
yah, wooden is better if you go at the right times..
i was a presenter (just a test dummy lol) for a friend that's a pt since it was uc fitcon and he was teaching an owl seminar.. so after it ended i stayed to lift a bit.. super nice area, but the acoustics are massive and when you drop weight it makes the whole room vibrate lol
>>37017703
yeah kiwi, close enough
I had no idea but you can actually sign up for weightlifting classes through the ucla recreation website, crazy stuff
krec would be a fucking great place to lift if they bought a squat stand or some half moon blocks or something, but they never do anything to improve the facilities
apparently it's becoming a high school so fair play if they don't give a fuck anymore
>>37017735
>weightlifting classes
they're shite, tbqh, though
i took one for a few weeks, but didn't do any others after that.. wasn't worth it.. learned a lot more on my own
and yah,. krec had potential... it's also funding that's the problem.. are you still in the area? why not train at wooden?
>>37017810
because I'm training at Takano's gym in Woodland Hills now
not getting coaching from him but he's a nice guy, we chatted for a bit about how I'm self taught and he said that he was too because that was just how it was back then
>>37017428
I wasnt that smoked senpai, I reckon if I really pushed I could have got 35-40
