I took two days off because I was sick. The first day back my snatches looked pretty good except that I couldnt into bottom position.

Possible attempt at 130 clean and jerk today but having come back from being sick i'd like to hit 120 minimum.

Will also probably front squat 145 or 150. I completely forgot how to back squat for some reason.

This was the day I got sick.

Ye that's my blog

Consistently been getting 3-5 hours of sleep, drinking 2-3 cups-worth of coffee at a tiime, and about 1-2 meals per day due to exams this week lads. No gym whatsoever since last thursday. thank fuck I have one last exam today. I wonder what will happen sunday after sleeping in all day friday and saturday and getting a shitton of food in.

posted this in plg but they had no idea:

coach has us prioritizing squatting and bulking this winter, but his programming is just two RSPs in a row. I'm free to program differently if I want but with 8 weeks I think I can probably introduce something else right?

most of our classics work will be 4-6 sets of doubles or triples at lighter weight to maintain form and keep joints from getting overloaded

Let me be your coach

>>34892551
I do lots of triples, slowly working up in weight to a (relatively) heavy triple normally for two sets or so. Sometimes doubles instead if going heavier. Sometimes I just do higher volume sets of five to eight if I'm low on time.

I don't often go above 30 total reps, normally more like 15-25

>>34894939

assumed he meant for squats

in which case if I'm low on conditioning I'll usually begin the training cycle with something like 4x10 or 5x8 @ 65%

>>34894962

for sets*
hopefully you don't reply before I post this calling me a retard :^)

but when I'm doing my regular squat stuff I'll generally vary between 3-6x1-4

>>34894738
Bodybuilding will get you a back like this. Look at Dorian Yates, guy had a back that looked like it was sculpted from rock. Oh and tons of steroids also help.

Question:
I'm having pain near my patellar tendon/right behind my patella when I squat. It's on one knee only and it hurts when I put any weight on it, but not when walking around or sitting/standing normally. It just sort of happened out of nowhere. I can't squat or front squat at all, but strangely it doesn't hurt when I do my olympic routine. Cleans and jerks and snatches are painless. Is this tendinitis or something? Also, my coach says my squat and front squat forms are good and shouldn't be causing any problems. What could it be?

>>34900327
But if you're doing snatch grip deads for oly why the fuck wouldn't you use your wl shoes anyway? It should match positions of your pull

>>34900292

It isn't really commonplace at all t b h

i'll do them how i want to do them, bitch

>>34900369
klokov does it, polovnikov outright states that they should be in every WLer's routine

>>34900392
Klokov isnt even a wler anymore, and cos one guy recommends it doesn't make what you said correct.

I'm not saying it shouldnt be done or not but if you look at any of the copies of old and current Russian, Chinese, polish programs out there barely any have bench. 'Commonplace' implies more often than not and that's just not true

>>34900347

You're absolutely right, taking shoes off for that is really dumb

>>34900373
Fine but don't call someone new when they call you out when you're doing something stupid and 'new' yourself

>>34900466
your entire initial stance that someone doing WL can't do some PL once in a while, is extremely dumb, and implies that you're new and retarded

>>34899606
No

A squat snatch power jerk clean grip double overhead squat is quite different

>>34900418
But it is

You can see lapikov do it Berestov does it Okulov and many other Russian

You can even find vids of rigert and vardanyan benching just cause they're not written down on programs doesn't mean they don't do it

>>34901106
snatches aren't deficit because you're not supposed to do them without shoes in the first place and because the heel gives a sizeable advantage

in the conventional deadlift, the heel is a massive disadvantage, which is why you could call it a deficit deadlift

was this hard to figure out?

Is there any point in doing a strength cycle without knee sleeves?

I can do 4x8 @ 100 kg front squats with my knee sleeves on, but when I take them off I can barely do 4x5 at the same weight.

I'm thinking of doing a full DUP cycle (with classics built in) without my knee sleeves because it feels like I rely on them far too much.

>>34901936
Do it without knee sleeves if you can lift more without them
dont cheat yourself

>>34901936
wait knee sleeves help actually that much?

>>34901763
This would be a fair explanation except, when it was pointed out this was owg and why was he talking about conventional deadlift he became a smartass. He said snatch deads

Therefore, as a snatch dead in wl (which we can assume he is doing it for this purpose as this is owg) should be done in heeled shoes as its used to strengthen positions during pulling.

Why is this so hard to understand?

>>34901964
>>34901974

No knee sleeves it is!

I'd honestly say I get about 20 kg or so out of my SBD's on the back squat. They aren't even tight, considering I can get them on bare skin no problem. Without knee sleeves my bottom position is so much weaker, I feel like I get a huge rebound out of the sleeves at the bottom of my back squat. Without the sleeves I am forced to go much deeper to achieve the same "tightness" in my quads.

>>34901981
that discussion ended long ago and the posts you're replying to isn't part of it

>>34901974
I found I got kilos out of two ply sleeves but I don't think I get any from my hg ones

They make my knees cosy so as a knock on effect maybe I can do more.volume but this guy might have so thick sleeves or something

>>34902025
Lol no you're the only one talking about conventional deads everything else was about snatch deads and as its owg they're for wl so piss off and talk about your unrelated shit elsewhere

>>34900155
My coach has a couple female athletes that are very flexible and bottom out on back squats often. It's led to them having back pain and other problems. His solution has to let them go atg on front (due to catching cleans) but just parallel for back squats because of the pain.
I'm not sure if that's why China does it, but could be why.

Then I'd suffer a career ending injury, but she'd keep going. I'd stand by her side all the way, and she would bring America back into the spotlight by shattering records. Weightlifting would become popular once again, and she would retire at 30 to settle down. We would marry and have a large family with seven children. We would grow old together and coach our children and grandchildren, producing a family of weightlifting champions. But I'm a jobless, friendless, balding 20 year old manlet with a 95kg C&J.

yeh I'm not the best at WL stuff, 94kgnoob or geordil probably better

>>34906914
Caladan knows a ton of stuff, he's one of the most helpful trips here.

Strong doesn't always have to mean knowledgeable and weak doesn't have to mean that he knows nothing. Caladan helped me with so much things, particularly injury rehab and form advice.

>>34907014
>particularly injury rehab


that's what he's good for and maybe general lifting form advice

WL related stuff not so much like he said

Isn't a clean basically pulling the bar onto your hips and then just bumping it upwards?

>>34907305
no

>>34907305
Only if your name is kiril pavlov

>>34907570
fat manlet didn't even go ATG

fucking typical

>>34907594
That is atg.

>>34907594
the rule is on back squats is lower until hamstring hits calfs

>>34907641

Which, if you're big enough, can actually be above parallel.

>>34907594

Coach is telling me put bodyweight on heel or midfoot during first pull, is this legit?

your opinion on the new romaleos?

>>34908502
No am not

>>34908649
The colors look better than the older ones, besides black, but I wish they would have a different design to change things up. Atleast I might be able afford the older model now if the price drops thanks to these

>>34908642
pls respond

>>34908642
>>34908936
Yes it's legit.

>>34908936
Yeah, it's fine, according to greg's book, "During the first pull, the weight of the athlete and bar should be centered over the front edge of the heel."

>>34908970
>>34908973
I had the idea that he was teaching me how to squat like a powerlifter

He also coaches powerlifting, thats why I asked

>>34909037
Posting here too to ask for some info. How long will getting used to hook grip take? On a scale of 1-10 what kind of pain are we talking about? Is nerve damage a possible scenario, in a sense that I won't have 100% hand dexterity (haven't finished med school yet so surgeon path is still open)? Will my thumbs feel numb all the time?

>>34908642
where else would you put it? ur toes?

makes me want to smash my laptop desu

>>34909717
Can take a long time lad. Even the guys hitting decent numbers here are often doing something 'wrong'

>>34909736
i cant catch it properly dude,
aka
no reps

>>34909762
You mean you can't even snatch a bar?

>>34909498
>19 and balding
he probably got roids for his 14th

>>34909769
it just falls forward unless the weight is light

>>34909769
cant get get under a clean with elbows up

>>34909772
>tfw 20 and balding not even on roids
kill me

>>34909785
Post form check or get coach. How heavy have you managed?

>>34909881
Not unusual. Worm on mobility and really drive elbows round. It'll be worse when there's no weight on the bar

my 4rm attmempt from yesterday, ended up working like 3 more hours than i expected, plus like 7 hours on my feet probably didnt help.

sry if sideways

>>34910188
Form was good for the two reps you managed. Keep working brah, were all gonna make it

>>34910204
yeah, it'll take a while to get use to balancing on the days where i have long shifts/heavy gym days.

>>34910188
you look like a twink

I bet this is how he excuses driving prices up for these shoes.
"rare" my ass

>>34910711
it was prob one of the bigger sizes that was never going to sell

>>34910711
>>34910721
whats wrong with those shoes they look normal to me

>>34910732
it's that they are no longer produced and are fairly good quality shoes, so cutting one into quarters is kinda dumb

>>34910742
so that vid was just to fuck with everyone who wants the buy the shoe

>>34910742
personally like the ironworks 3 more than these desu

>>34909064
plz respawn

>>34911754
Just start using it in warm-ups and stop being a little bitch. People have deadlifted twice as much as you using hookgrip.

that is only for the track and field.

>>34912092
extension was mediocre

>>34912092
do you ever just work on pulls? pulling as high/forceful as possible? also what app do you use to trim and merge videos together?

>>34912092
you squat 220 but you snatch 115

is this even a good ratio

>>34912258
Not really. Use androidvid or something.

>>34912343
No I should be able to snatch 143kg but there are other factors. My lower back probably needs more work and technique.

>>34912442
No I should be able to snatch 230kg but there are other factors. My lower back probably needs more work and strength

>>34912442

Was planning on focusing on my pulls a lot after next weekends meet.

>>34912508
wat

>>34912513

do you round your lumbar when you go for heavy lifts?

>>34912513
I don't neglect pulls. I thought he was asking if I do high pulls.

>>34912442
Maybe...just maybe...if you do more pulls and hyperextensions, you'll get your snatch up.

>>34912639
I have been doing more hyper extensions and I've always done pulls. 115 was a pr for me and it was a high catch.

>>34908649

What would the Romaleos do to ameliorate the problems that go along with flat feet that other weightlifting shoes can not?

>>34912958
Don't own one but I believe the competition insole helps people with flat feet. You can also purchase another insole for your feet or do some ankle strengthening exercises

Will training squats and pulls heavy and with volume help my pressing as well?

It will help with push press yes. Strict press, no.

Do you take your own bar to the gym?

>>34916902
No I have homegym because the crossfit people keep using the only platform outside of the crossfit area/

>>34916912

Damn shame, feel out of place with xfitter too?

I do 3x15 squats with 50 kgs twice a week and 5x5 with 60 once a week but every time (normally around the last 2 sets) I get some kind of sore in my right knee that lasts a few days. I like to think is not a big deal since it isn't pain but I can't help but worry. Should I go lighter or should I take supps for that? I heard Omega 3 is good for soreness post training

>>34916980

The fuck are you on about? Whats with that retarded squat volume variation?

>>34917046

I tried asking /fit/ this a while ago and never got an answer so I'll ask you guys.
I broke the leg extension on my bench a while ago I used to do:
4x10 squats
4x10 leg extensions
4x10 hamstring curls
I can no longer do leg extensions and curls anymore so do I replace them with more squats? Would that be too many squats?

Anybody here able to give me some mobility advice to turn my good morning Squats into something that looks close to an upright torso?

>>34917303
Work on the mobility of your back. Thoracic and lumbar mobility.

>>34917371
interesting, I've been working on ankle and hip a bit.

Is his 8 year ban still in effect or can he actually compete now? Would love to see what kind of numbers he'd hit on a comp.

>>34917277

>>34917731
he's stats are like 200/23- right?

>>34917731
>this fatty competes at the 85kg class
jeez I thought he was 105kg, he must be short af

>>34917983 used to compete in the 85 when he was junior I think. he is 105 and has been for a couple years now

>>34894768
Brazil is way way more melting pot than US tho.

>tfw long forearm to humerus ratio
So I guess squat jerl/push jerk is my only option huh?

>>34919593
Good meme lad

>>34919872
explain

>>34919919
He means knock it off with the proportion talk. Anyone can get moderately good with any proportions. They'll only come into play when you're moving serious weight. Most of us never even get there.

If you're learning now, just do everything by the book. If you ever get to a point when it's a problem, deal with it then.

>>34920284
what was the purpose of this webm?

>>34920327
what your squat rom should be like

>>34920654
That depends on the person. Hamstring to calves.

>>34919919
>waah boo hoo proportions mean I can't do x or y

Nah m8 don't be a faggot you not being able to split properly ain't your bones fault

>>34920810
You have to get under a lot deeper, faster, which is a big problem

chinese female squat jerkers
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CgJx67Jan4

>>34920831
So? Working all day on your feet and being tired is a problem. Not having expendable income to spend on massages and ice baths is a problem. Not having a coach is a problem. Only seeing a coach once a week is a problem. Having your shoes split is a problem. Going to a gym where the bars don't spin is a problem. There's loads of big problems that could limit you.

Need to get under faster and split lower? Then get faster and split lower. Stop blaming your fucking proportions and get to work. Smh.

>>34920968
is seeing your coach twice a week bad?

>>34921010
The point is, it could be considered bad to be anything other than a Chinese manlet who is a full time weightlifter who has 1on1 coaching 7hours a day

Everyone can point to reasons they aren't good instead of working on your weaknesses

>>34920968
>Going to a gym where the bars don't spin is a problem
I know this feel

>>34921199
why is this a problem

>>34921208
its really hard on the joints and really uncomfortable in general

>>34921221
Could you explain why

>>34921230
cant really

get a bar that doesnt spin and you'll understand me iimmediately

>>34921256
>tfw haven't been able to lift because of the crossfits open hours

I wish they were open from 10-11pm or 1- 3pm. I have class in the mornings and work from 3pm-9pm
