Sry but I ask here because owg is in general where the knowledge is:
(actually did wl until I fucked up, so semi related)

I dont know shit about nutrition and I have come to ask thee for advice:
>am 6'2 105kg
>semi built
>currently doing modified PPL with rehab shit

I want to lose fat from my last bulk. Currently at around 20% bf. I dont really count anything except protein and total kcal intake.

I have heard lowering carbs is the easiest / most efficient way to go about losing some fat.
Can I still do volume training for size?
Do I replace carbs with fats? Nuts, avocado, shit like that? Already halved last weeks portion size of rice and pasta by half. Feels like I could do alot more.

thx in advance

>>34924350

calculate tdee subtract 300 - 500 and lower slowly
0.8-1g protien per kg
6-10 g carbs per kg
rest is for healthy fats

I would lower the volume, but progress slowly.

>>34924350

how did you hurt yourself?

plg and owg have the most well reticulated posters.

>>34924350
Low carb diets are very effective for losing fat as a starting point if you don't care about muscle. Do it with muscle and you won't have the energy to push or pull the same weights and thus lose more than necessary muscle in the process.

Keep your carbs proportionate, eat less, maintain your strength or try to increase it, and you'll lose your fat

>>34921564
Does anybody in these threads put up any impressive weight? Anyone hold any records or are close to? Does anyone here compete in anything?

>>34924516
I used to compete in math competitions, and am starting to compete on topcoder

Solid last heavy day before next week's meet.

Snatch - (100/1)2, (105/1)2, 110

C+J - (120/1)2, (125/1)2, 130. Overpulled the shit outta 135 and lost it forwards, had that delicious Eleiko knurling scrape the skin off my forearm from wrist to elbow, so I left it there.

Squat - 145/3, 155/3, 166 for 1kg post injury PR

Clean Deadlift - 160, 170, 180, 190 singles for a strapless PR.

Current competition bests are 105/130. Was thinking about 106/111/115 and 127/132/137 as my attempts.

Bodyweight currently a mere 87kg rip.

Go for 113 on snatch and maybe go higher on c and j

Anyone know of the highest all time snatches, cleans, jerks, and clean & jerks, regardless if its official or gym or rumored and regardless of bw.

>>34925839
Umm 266 and 217

>>34925839
>>34925888
Anatoly Pisarenko had around a 260-270 c&j and cleaned 280, and someone achieved a full snatch of 220 but I can't remember who.

>>34925901
Lapikovs 217 is pretty impressive considering he's not very heavy.

How does an athlete manage to stay undiscovered for the majority of his career in terms of roids? Liao Hui got dqed once for boldenone iirc, but Lu hasn't been dqed. What's the difference between the two?

Why do all weightlifters workout shirtless? never understood that

>>34925970
I think undiscovered may have been the wrong word.

>>34925980
Explain please. I know nothing about roids, I'll admit that but what I don't understand is how do some athletes pass as fake natties when they're all on the same chemicals.

>>34925901
Lovchev did 220 off the blocks, its the heaviest I have heard of.

>>34925979
They don't

No you don't deadlift in weightlifting shoes. Generally want a flat heel.

>>34924408

Anyways, I think owg, plg, and fraud tend to be pretty knowledgeable in those generals.

How do career weightlifters make a living especially in countries like Aus or the US?

>>34927627

>career weightlifters
>in aussie
there are virtually none

in the US they probably hold down day jobs, just going off powerlifting as an example I think Eric Lilliebridge is an accountant

>>34927663
no one in australia makes money off weightlifting. i know one girl in my gym that went to the olympics representing australia while working as a engineer.

>>34927663
>>34927682
Just thinking, it is possible to hold a job and train for the olympics?

I know Erkand Qerimaj of the Albanian team was studying law and public administration while training and competing, don't know if he works.

>>34927682

yeah that was what I was saying, there's nobody whose 'career' is weightlifting

that's cool though, I'm jelly

>>34927711
I was reading about Russia and literally Klokov was saying that make good money but have all their expenses covered.

> tfw not russian but australian
fuck this gay earth

>>34927709
you probably can but you won't be at your best when it's time to cmpete

i know several people who has competed in B group in world champs while working part time while training full time

>>34927740
Does Australia or America pay their athletes anything at all for training?

>>34927733

well your quality of life is higher considering that you wouldn't have made it as a weightlifter in russia (in all probability) so count your blessings. Guys like Klokov and Polovnikov are one in a million

>>34927759
america they have MDUSA which is the only company i know that gives stipends to their athletes

USAW gives stipends as well but you have to be already top dog to get those

you can get sponsorship from different companies they pay a little and gives you free stuff if you're popular enough on social media

>>34925979
only when the camera is rolling

>>34927759

Australia pays some of its athletes a stipend indirectly (its the national body paying them, not the government) and/or gives free access to training facilities, coaching and such. How much depends on the sport.

Weightlifting is not one of the sports under the main program.

Can i get a 188 kg front squat without juice?

>>34928373

Its possible.

Depending on height/weight/etc. Certainly won't be easy though.

>>34928381

94, 5'11?,Currently on 125kg

>>34928715

Probably doable, although you'd likely be at 105 or so when you achieve it. Individual genetics matter of course.

>>34922076
Going to be hard to top Romaleos II

They're pretty good

Is it normal to ask strangers to spot you? I'm going to be joining a gym for the first time soon, and I'm not sure how this really works. Should you always have a spotter or is it just when you're going for your max?

I read the sticky, but forgive me if I missed it.

>>34928373
At 94 or 105 you should be able to front squat at least 2-2.5x body weight or more naturally, once you start getting past 3 or close to 4 unless you're like a midget with stumpy legs it'll be hard naturally.

>>34928753
Those are romaleos ii, just new colors.

>>34928771

I feel so weak.

>>34927524
Ya we have Smythphil who does 145/170
There's a few people here who snatch 120+ and I think some lotus guy with a 200kg front squat.... I back squatted 220 which I think is pretty good but I don't know how it holds up in plg

>>34928373
94kg here and front squatted 181 easily naturally. I'd imagine 250 is close to the natural limit for a 94

>>34931139

>>34931151

>>34931125
Maybe don't hang out with crossfitters. You can't expect to get good form with cross fit coaches. Also, practice makes perfect. Drills, do drill, every day, until you're so sick of them you want to puke.

And yeah, crossfitters have shit form, so don't expect progress if you hang with them. You'll have better luck having a random person at the gym film you and then watching to see what's wrong.

>>34927269
Moderate intensity, moderate volume of work. The bread and butter of strength training. 20-30 total reps with ~70-80% of your 1rm is a solid day of work.

>>34931191
Hey dumbass, if I could go to a strictly oly gym I would. My coach only does barbell club, but if I could have another oly coach I would.

I have to go to the crossfit gym. And I'm saying, people like crossfit moms(yes they have shit form) have better form than me. What also makes me upset is that there are brain dead morons who pick it up fatale than me.

>>34927524
Higher proportion here have probably competed desu. Not saying good, the common consensus is compete asap in wl even if you're hitting tiny numbers, dunno how pl works in that regard.

Guys, i've been trying to get into a bit of OWG, so I tried doing some power cleans. Am i gonna snap something if i don't drop the weight after I press it ? We don't have bumper plates in our gym unfortunately.

Lifters in USA who are good will live off it. Not a good living. But take for example the world team at the OTC. Free food. Free accommodation. Then there's teams like mdusa who pay their lifters from a private backer.

It's a shitty wage, and they will all coach/seminars to suppliment. It's very unlikely any are holding down full time jobs while training at that level though.

In the UK at team GB, the men have 0 funding now from sport UK who fund athletes. The women do, and its purely because the women are legit medal hopefuls on the European/commonwealth stage and possible A groupers in world's and Olympics. That's why most the male team GB will be coaching as a job whereas most of the girls don't need to. It's not a good wage though for the girls.

Most athletes in all sports that dont have much of a 'salary' do get perks like free suppliments', clothing, food, sometimes even cars etc. My friend knows an Olympic gold medalist rower who when he was competing got paid very little but had a BMW, rolex, flights etc all free. He makes way more money now he's retired doing after dinner speeches.

Hope someone found that wall of text interesting :^)

Whats the best way to get better at pulls? I noticed my pull strength really started to decline.

I envy those young kids I train with that just goes to school, they don't even need real warmup just start with the bar

I have to do like 30 mins of real warm up to get loose enough to lift properly because of work

Ok so started today. Coach has given me no routine just yet and basically I'm just doing drills for technique until I get in a few months.

I can go 3-5x a week, do you recommend any routines I can do that will maybe prepare me for oly a lot more? Some thing squat focused and back? And something for a little size?

those are always highly variable, depending on proportions usually

how much should my snatch pull be compared to my clean pull

i have an easier time clean pulling

>>34933590
set up is way too long, it takes you what like 15s to find u hand pos. ??

Clean:
jumping forward
extending early
not finishing extension

Jerk:
front foot a bit farther, front shin wshould b perpendicular to ground
looked rly slow (fine when noob but just a note)
in your dip you start extension on your toes instead of midfoot
you dont finish extension/drive in the jerk
atleast u got the bar behind ur head, thats a start

what>>34933646

Hi owg. Been lifting a few months.

Today I missed a bunch of snatches I did for 6 triples last week. Was very tired and sluggish (work).

Last week I altered my start pos and it felt very good, today everything felt crappy. Is this normal, to have days where you miss low lifts and you feel like you've forgotten everything?

>>34934088
yes, ur fine

>>34934039
>>34933646

thanks, I will have the time and money to invest in coaching after this hellish semester ends in mid december. I'd like to keep working on the movements and addressing mobility issues on my own until then though, not trying to put up numbers.

>>34934139
Thanks ob. That's all I needed to hear.

yeah man, when in doubt eat more, sleep more, stretch more.

I would say unless you're injured or like dont have enough time, try not to cut sessions short.

The barbell I use to squat is really shitty and is now like one of those texas powerlifter barbells that are intentionally bent or whatever. Also it doesn't spin+super stiff.

It sort of fucks up my squats. So I need a new barbell. Until then I can to fs in my garage with my deathtrap jerk stands.

Maybe add some pulls. Maybe.

Also this weekend will probably compile all of the bulgarian resources I know of.

>>34934665
That bar is just really shit. When it "spins" it's actually unscrewing the ends. I screw both sides in before each set.

my dad doesnt want me to get into Oly Weightlifting because he says itll leave me with a fucked up spine when I'm older and they'll mix in some funny pills into my food and stick needles into my glutes (which I have no problem with).

how would a non spinning stiff bar fuck up your squats???????

i squatted 200 on rusty barbell that dont spin before i joined my current club with nice bars, i see minor difference in squatting none that would affect training

>>34935461
shifting weights for someone who is not stable

>>34933498

You don't really finish your pulls or get under with any real snappiness

It's not awful but it's not really a mystery where you're losing kilos

Is there any way to stop losing core tightness in front squats?

Why the fuck is it so expensive to work out at a crossfit weigh lifting gym???

I went in there today to ask how much it would be to just use their facility and work with a coach and they said the minimum price would be around 200$

Why the fuck is it so expensive to just do Olympic weightlifting in america

>>34932968
>>34932991
>>34933000
So do any of you know a routine or template I could follow? Preferably just for backsquats now. My coach said I should focus on triples?

70kg bw, 100kg 8rm squat

>>34936022
An 8rm holy fuck.... Where am I!

I am a powerlifter (sorry for littering your board guys) and I found through trial and error method that high bar squats are looking better, feel easier and more natural for me.
Could you recommend an authoriry in WL world from whose instructional videos I could learn more about high bar squatting?

I wondered this, for classics I think a non spinny bar is bad even if you're snatching the kiddies 2.5s, but for squatting I don't see how bad it can be

E-Estonia?

getting back into classics after 3 weeks off for foot problem, did a bunch of snatch work yesterday
mostly no touch, power, snatch complexes at 75%

today was a few clean complexes at 75% and posterior chain work

what should I do tomorrow? I'm thinking of muscle snatches (pressout version, not no touch) and close stance squats + bb

Don't forget to tip the receptionist

Cleaned 97.5 kg. Went on to jerk it, locked it out but weight moved back. Lower Back hyper extended and popped many times. Luckily I didn't go straight to snap city:) pray 4 me brehs about to go to bed. No pain since indecent but worried about stiffness in morning

>>34939656
>So much for that
he didn't say he's going to quit though

anyone in here dealt with rotator cuff injury?

Dislocated and pretty sure I tore it

am I fucked

>>34940084
where's the pain located?

if its in front delt you tore your labrum

those things dont heal on their own, you can try rehab but you wont be able to lift without pain unless you have surgery on it

most people have their labrum torn, that's where the shoulder pain comes from. if you're a normal person strengthening rc muscles would be enough to make the pain go away, if you plan on lifting and competing better save up for the surgery. recovery takes about 4 months to about a year

donovan ford had his shoulder repaired 75% of it torn and he was back in 4 months, david garcia as well idk about the stats or how long he was out but i think it's the same time as donovan

i think they're both close to 170 snatch now a year after the surgery

>>34940249

anterior/lateral delt, and more so towards the top of the joint. No real "pain," just lots of discomfort after lifting. That being said I haven't put anything over my head in about two months. Lots of squating, pulling, and as of this past week I just started cleaning again.

Interesting, did not know about donovan and david, only ian wilson. Gives me a bit of hope for the future. Being injured sucks man.

Surgery when I can afford it, it looks like...

my coach gave me this
9 set of squats :
3x5 at about 70% of max
3x4 at about 75% of max
3x3 at about 80% of max

the numbers increase, it's pretty rough but it yields good results.

>>34942708

Yeah but what would benefit my pulls? Only pull exercise I know are deadlifts.

>>34943995
Snatch Pulls
Clean Pulls
RDL/SLDL versions of those pulls
High pulls, panda pulls, 1st pulls, those all help if done with 6-8 sets of 1-3, maybe for a single heavy set and then 3-4 back off sets. Pull-ups and Back Extensions too.

Hit me with the dankest stretches you got, ideally for each body part, not barbell or bands stretches. I feel like my flexibility is coming to a halt.

>>34944249
To add to this, snatch deadlift and clean deadlift can be useful in strengthening positions especially in beginners who are used to normal deads

Still fucking up 60kg snatches despite being like 15 under my Max. What is life.

>>34946120
Hey man, congrats on your clean PR!
Do you know where you're fucking up your snatches? if you do, drill those primarily weak areas with a working weight percentage, and keep going at it.
You'll get there man.

>>34946162
Idk man everything just feels fucked this week. I did 60 for 6x3 last week and hit 75 two days after

I see a coach once a week but can be hard to be watched closely as he has a big class to watch. He said it wasn't too bad I was just setting up a bit different. I just need to groove it all in a bit more cos when it goes well it feels good but sometimes idk wtf I'm doing anymore

I've not been oly lifting long, 5months since I started weekly classes and about 3 I've been focussed on it, I think I'm a slow learner desu but I'll get there even if it takes me 10x longer than it should

I have a question. I have a really high sternum. It is way above my shoulders. When i put a bar in the front rack position it lays on my sternum no matter how i move my shoulders and it fucking hurts. That's the reason i have never done cleans or front squats. Does anyone have the same problem?

You can do box jumps as a warm up for the main lifts, get everything firing.

More intensive stuff like bounding, jump squats is probably best kept to the GPP phase.

are there any companies that sell gym bags that are essentially backpacks?

i mean i can just buy a big ass backpack too but i feel like i might be able to find something higher quality.

i have a herniated disc in my neck and lifting doesn't bother it. in fact snatching and jerking makes my back feel amazing.

but i recently realized that my gym bag (which is slung over the shoulder) is what causes the pain. i need a back pack big enough for my shoes, knee sleeves, change of clothes, notebook, water, etc. i take public transit so i have to lug all my shit around

tian tao is lift

aukhadov is lift

okulov is lift

ivan stoitsov is listed at 85 we'll see if he's attending tomorrow

timur naniev is also attending my current favorite lifter his technique is so clean, definitely someone to watch if you're trying to learn

>>34950910
Lu's getting old, I think his best performance is behind him, still he seems to be in a league of his own though, so 77 probably won't be that interesting
85 is really the only one to look forward to, it has the most talent

>>34950852
But Rostami will be going
>mfw thinking about Rostami, Apti (Healed now), Okulov, and Tian Tao

>>34950926
>so 77 probably won't be that interesting

not really, if martirosyan shows up healthy he can beat lu

also that korean man with 200kg cj last year can beat lu if he can post a decent snatch, also the other chinamen 77 can beat lu younger has close numbers to lu

>>34950973

191 and 160 at Europeans this year, add 10kg to each and I think Lu will still beat that

>tian tao has clean & jerked 230 in training
holy fuck.

>>34948038
Someone respond

>>34951053
Eh, thats just training, pretty sure Liao has done like 210+ in training but his best in comp is just 198

>>34951055
I guess 2-3 times a week, maybe 4-5 if you really need to bring your squat up in a training cycle.

>>34951070
then what do the numbers really mean

>>34951070
I remember reading in an interview with liao hui that he starts "controlling bodyweight" a few days out by nearly starving himself, hardly eating and drinking water, and that it can greatly affect his strength. I wonder if they all make weight like this, and if they tried another way if they would be able to lift more.

>>34951087
He'll probably get 218, but his Snatch is kind of shit so I don't expect a gold, Apti will probably get 175+210 at least, Rostami's CnJ was shaky as fuck last year, pretty sure nobody though he would get the green light but he still did, Artem is a wild card, Markov was banned too right? 85 is gonna be great

>>34951100
Tian has snatched 175 in comp, and 218 in comp as well.

>>34951108
I see you stated that he c&j 218 lol my bad

>>34951108
What comp did he do 175?

>>34951095
>and if they tried another way if they would be able to lift more.

you mean cutting longer?

i think if you're training that long it's pretty much impossible to maintain below weight class if you're the right height. that's why you see older athletes move up weightclasses when they can no longer endure cutting

he also competed at 77 in some comp not too long ago, i dont think he can gain enough weight to be competitive in that class either like aukhadov trying to be a 94

>>34951116
Chinese nationals this year.
>>34951119
I guess, just not making as dramatic of a cut as eliminating every meal.

>>34951073
I just came back from the gym I overestimated my 1RM and couldn't finish. Also ripped my trackpants.

Got some Hungry Jacks though.

So it assuming you train 4-5 times a week? I train 3-4 times but want to train more with lighter weight to practice technique

are weightlifting shoes useless if one has sufficient ankle mobility?

>>34952078
No. They improve ankle mobility more, their sole won't compress under heavy loads and they will protect your ankle joint plus stablize your foot.

>>34952217
they dont improve ankle mobility, they allow for less mobility m8

I'm a really tall lifter (6'6") and am currently doing a powerlifting routine, but I'm really interested in weightlifting. My question is, is it suitable for me at all? I'm scared that due to my height the leverages will fuck me up and I won't put up any weight, or worse, i'll injure myself. Are there any other tall lifters in here who can comment on this?

>>34952873
I am 6'3" and 240 lbs. The leverages are not that big a deal. There are ideal leverages but then there are leverages that can be fixed with changes in technique and just training through them.

I reckon my femur length isn't ideal but I still trying my best.

Strength is what matters and since you are 6'6" don't think about anything less than the 105+ KG category

You have people like Ilya Ilyin at 5'10" who are in the < 105 KG category.
