oh my. poor mattie :(

no wonder she looked so distressed after that lift. she usually looks happy and smiles even if she fails. at least espn3 cut to a shot of her upper body when it happened

if i was there mattie could have pissed on my face ahead of the lift and this incident could have been avoided. r.i.p. mattie's panties

>>35149935
GJ LAD, PROUD OF U

>reminder I can squat 20kg more than I can pull

>>35149989
not known yet but well find out next week probs.

>>35150083
pull or deadlift, cause like pull w/ dece extension/speed i could see but slow af deadlift life pull is wack

>>35150112
Sorry, meant dead lift

>>35150112
>>35150083
Yes, the pull is very slow and normally I cant even move it.

But the squat is pretty fast for a max.

My max squat which is heavier, is less labored than my max deadlift which weighs less.

I think it's weak hamstrings and glutes. What do you guys think?

>>35150220
yeah that sounds like it would be the problem, are you pulling WL style or conventional (high or low hips)

>>35150298
pull as if I'm about to do a clean

>>35149832
form check?
today 's cnjs +front
100kg :
https://youtu.be/bnAV6l-hQvs
110 kg attempt :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WvbnBOGXmU

did them in slowmo, hope they're better to analyse

>>35150372
Head/body through more on the jerk
You'll fail when it gets heavier

>>35150372
Hip extension seems to early.
Your legs are straight before you even start the second pull

>>35150372
i refuse to give form advice on faggoty slow motion videos. just leave it unedited

>>35150312
do your hips shoot up, cause im guessing its weak hammies/glutes/possibly lower back like you said.

take a vid next time you do em.

>>35150550
how am i being jealous lol, u sure ur not projecting, cause i just power snatched that yesterday

>>35150561
good job brah, @ what bw?
not trying to b demeaning literally just curious

>>35150372

You start your second pull about 2 centimeters too early, banging the bar off your thighs and forcing you to chase it forward. Happens on both lifts, which suggests it's a habit and not just a technical glitch. You might try segment pause pulls, with the focus on finding that sweet spot on your upper thigh to launch from. Mark the spot with chalk, and either film yourself or have someone watch you and provide feedback. Drill until you're hitting that spot consistently.

>>35150577
98kg because Im not a pencil neck twink

same comment to u

>>35150482
are you gay?

>>35150699
no, he has a chubby azn gf. they post super cringey post-coitus pics on ig

>>35150699
nope

>>35150713

>>35150713

>>35150715
you look skinny like aids gay man or gay 19 year old in gay porn

>>35150747
Why are you so mad?

>>35150766
he looks gay

>>35150783
serious projection and anger that a skinny teenager lifts more than you

>>35150783
I think i know what the issue is, You want to fuck oly boi and you're bitter that he already has a GF

>>35150766
>Projecting
So why are you mad tho? He's just telling you the truth.

>>35150828
the kid is barely 140lbs
what do you expect

>>35150800
>>35150801
>>35150801
what is your problems? i am asking why he looks gay if he has said he is not gay.

and he does not lift more than me that is a joke. he lifts as much as girls i have worked with at same weight

stop responding to this guy you fucking idiots

>>35150312

deadlift has radically diff form from clean pull

>>35151019
My deadlift, pure deadlift, is still weaker than my squat by 20kg

>>35151019
no thats retarded amerifat nonsense shut the fuck up caladan i swear youll fucking regret saying that shit

>>35151252

probably starting with hips too low

>>35151258

OK, you're right in that it's probably only the case for some people.
For example hip height changes a lot for me. I can certainly not clean pull 230kg, but I can deadlift it without too much trouble.

Andy Bolton discusses it at length here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toG0XunIlQI

should be said though that you have lifters like Koklyaev and Hall who basically do a clean pull, so you're right, that was kind of dumb to make a blanket statement like that

>>35151316
>hips too low make deadlift 20kg weaker than squat

right

>>35151316
stop responding to troll are you a fucking idiot

>>35151333

only way it's possible is if his form is shit

>>35151350
Who is the troll?
160kg squat and 140kg deadlift are my legit numbers

>>35151350

idk I've been copping a lot of hate recently and assuming I'm just saying dumb shit

>>35151368
this person >>35151258

>>35151378
he's wrong, he knows he was wrong, and he just admitted he was wrong

fuck off to r/weightlifting if you want a hugbox free of "trolls"

>>35151408
he didn't he's an idiot without spine, that's why he has to conform to everything the board has to say

what he first said was true and you're an idiot as well

>>35151464
>what he first said was true
then you're another worthless american. even dumber and less self aware than caladan

>>35150445
looked easy enough

>>35151464

mostly true*
I'd say Eddie Hall deadlifts like he's about to do a clean pull even though 98% of other lifters don't.

also depends on lifting shoes, watch massthetics differentiate between the two
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BK1a6VHQTHQ

in flats he does a typical conventional deadlift
in lifting shoes the mechanic totally changes and looks like a catbacked clean pull

>>35151553
who gives a shit about what a powerlifter do? we're here at owg, everything is only relevant to weightlifting

clean pull should be the same exact way you would clean, nothing more

deadlift depending on background would be stronger than clean pull most of us started some lifting before doing weightlifting and familiar with a different style dl

>>35151515
yuropoor i bet i'm stronger than you

>>35149981
pissening
>mattie is now the same level as jason genova.
who would have thought?

>>35151615
Is your clean pull bigger than your squat?>

>>35151615

yeah that's all correct but was assuming the guy just wanted to deadlift the most weight possible regardless of carryover

>>35151615
post a vid of yourself doing a 200kg C&J

then we'll talk

>>35151623
yes, but i can also dl way more than my squat since i have long arms, clean pull is about 20kg above squat my dl is 60kg above my squat

>>35151663
I have long arms too

damn you all

>>35151527

something about seven virgin wives

Do weightlifters go on their toes during the clean pull near the end?

If so isn't this bad for the knee?

>>35150445

>no jon north salute
it's like you don't even love your country

>>35151980
It's fine on knees, you get more power output from being on toes/ball of foot for pulls

tell me about kendrick. why does he do the salute?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiqGz_ZhQwo

>>35152016

Then is it just for squats that the weight has to be in your heels?

>>35152097
weight should be midfoot squatting most likely

there is some people who pull with weight through front of foot when cleaning or snatching, a little more room for personal preference

is he serious
a documentary
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leSvDhULGP4

he's called his training company 'the dark orchestra'

>>35152097
I've heard of squatting on balls of feet for "balance" but that seems pretty shitty to me. Either front of heel or midfoot is best i think. But still have whole foot on ground.

>>35152165
the cameraman for this shoot was so fucking obnoxious, he would place his camera a foot away from you while you're trying to lift

good thing no one had to run forward while he's filming or he'll be crushed. he didnt ask for permission either he'd just film anyone that looks interesting sometimes he'd go up to you mid lift with his camera in your face like wtf bro

>>35152165
yeah its w/ floelite.

yup the dark orchestra has been his "thing" for a while now

>>35152220
>>35152165
he calls his athletes "skeletons" then he writes really fucking bad lots of grammatical error poems for his blog

lol it's awesome

I missed all of my snatches today at my meet because I wasn't getting balanced underneath the bar

Damn you left leg ;_;

reading feminist bullshit, devaint art fanfiction, mein kampf, a bible in chinese withouth knowing the language, all would be better than having to read that piece of work you just posted.

im so fucking mad right now, bud churniga i fucking hate you, i hope all your life is misfortune and you rot in hell with everyone you know or have ever talked to.

>>35153094
he's not struggling, he's trying to maintain position that's why it looks hard

he powercleans 60kg easy

>>35153133

oh yep on his channel now

For those of you who lift less than/as much as/close to OB despite weighing more it's completely fine as long as you've been training as long as he has (which is almost a year and a half). You're still a beginner. Unless you have a shit coach you'll outlift him.

you probably need the meniscus sewn up anyway, you are still young and it will likely help, what you need AFTER that is rehab with a spots doc

yes, this is called warming up. It has been done for ages and in every sport, probably even pro ping-pong. Stretching can also be as effective for muscle building as resistance training, do it.

>mattiecakesssss I figured I should address this. I came for one reason: records. I did not come to win. At this point, it is me against records at these national meets. That's all I care about. Yeah medals and titles are great, but that's not what I'm after. It was my last chance for any junior records. We knew the risks coming in: I would be tired, I wouldn't be recovered, blah blah blah, but we had to TRY. And I gave EVERYTHING I had. Everything. And I didn't have that much to give after a long week at worlds and a long year of competing in 3 international and 4 national meets along with local ones. No excuses, it just wasn't my day. My body wasn't there, my mind wasn't there, so the lifts weren't there. I felt 100% exhausted and did my best to block it out and push through despite missing 3 different warm ups in the back. Opening lower was not the purpose of coming. I decided not to clean and jerk because I knew I couldn't pull out a 128 which is what I needed. Anything else would have just been extra training for me after missing all my snatches. Am I upset? Fuck yeah. Will I get over it? Of course. Will I come back stronger? Hell. Fucking. Yes. This is just a bump in the road, everyone's gotta bomb sometime in their career, shit look at half the Chinese men's team a worlds. I'm just glad I got it out of my system now. On to the next one. Well actually no..... Time for a week off. Yeah @camargo_oly it's actually happening this time #HeadDownEyesForward

>>35158947

>>35158947
is what she does considered full ROM? Looks like she baaarely hit parallel to me.

>>35159006
shut the fuck up dude.

>>35159016
Not trying to hate, just want to know. The camera is just at a similar angle to the only mirror in my gym near a squat rack so it's really hard to tell if I hit parallel. Relax man.

>>35159103
shes not hitting parallel,
obviously theyre only going that deep for an alternative reason

>>35157329
yeah, you see female powerlifters do it too every now and then, it's to do with the structure of women's pelvic floor muscles iirc, something something when they are exerting max effort, their bladders can get forced to empty, something something no prostate

anyone ever order from strengthwraps.com?

Had a very interesting training session today. Snatched up to 100kg, cleans felt awful so coach had me move on to squats. Was just planning on a moderate 5x5 at 130kg, but they got eaiser as the sets went on so I got told to go up.

Ended up with (130/5)5, 140/3, 150/2, 160, 165, 167, 170 for a post injury PR.

Clean pulls actually felt good, unlike cleans, and ended up with (120/4)2, (140/3)2, (160/2)2, (180/1)2, and a 191 PR. Got a decent pop all the way up to the 160 sets, which was nice.

Very odd second wind kind of thing during the squats, was kinda nice.

>>35161436
How can you people pull so much

>>35161639
I suspect I have good levers for pulling - it always came easy to me. Although pulling with a decent clean-style pull was not easy.

>>35161673
I squat 5kg more than you
But I pull 40kg less

>>35161707
I squatted 190 before I tore my hamstring, but I have also pulled 227 as a conventional deadlift.

I've done 117 snatch in training and I know 153 is in the tank so should be capable of 270 now... almost 310 sinclair

>>35164317
>>35164335
total 263kg!

>>35164335
yeah that final cj attempt looked really good, you're gonna have it soon

good job on quallifying for nationals aswell, especially seeing how they upped em a fair bit a couple months ago

>>35164369
ya my lost comp i only did 243 and the plan this time round was to do 115/148 or 118/145 but i only made 113 so i opened at 138 to get a total in then jumped to 150 and hit it so i had an extra that i ddidnt even feel like taking lol

>>35164287
this is where she compared herself to lu >>35154089

lmao that statement is just her stressing she wants to break junior records while she still has the chance. she already has broken junior records, she just wants do it again. only brought up the chinese to say far better weightlifters than her have bombed and she won't treat bombing as an impasse lmao

>>35164400
i needed 150 for nationals

clean looked alright, bent arms is still nono.
you wait a pree long time between clean and jerk
hips shit a bit back when you catch jerk, head pos looks dece
your dip in the jerk is not controlled, the bar drops and hits you then you try and push back off that which adds problems when trying to add vertical velocity to the bar

I saw Lu Xiaojun at a grocery store in Houston last week. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

excellent reading comprehension faggot

Something kind of strange happened the other day. Was lifting at another gym that has squat stands rather than power cages, and no mirrors in front of them.

When I lift in a power cage my squats are generally hard and fairly ugly, lots of torso lean, sometimes end up folding forward, etc. But outside a cage, they were perfect. Tried the same thing when I lifted back at my regular gym, where instead of front squatting in the cage I cleaned it and did a few reps. Every single one was easy and I hit 8 reps (probably had more in the tank) at a weight I normally have trouble hitting for 3.

I'm guessing there's some proprioceptive interference with actually being able to see yourself, even in peripheral vision. tl;dr squatting in a powercage fucks my form up

>>35164803
Plus maybe old habits? Did you do a lot of low bar in powercages?

>>35164916

powerlifted for 2 years, did exclusively low bar in exclusively cages. I never thought of that, but it explains a lot. tbqh I absolutely hate squatting in cages, but that's the only option at my uni gym which is otherwise perfect. cheers, given me something to think about

Hi /owg/, I want to include oly lifts in my strength training and need your advice.

2 days volume upper/lower

rest

intensity
squat 1x3, 1-3x1-2
bench 1x3, 1-3x1-2
power clean 3x3

rest

intensity
deadlift 1x3, 1-3x1-2
push press 3x3
pull/chin ups 1x5

rest

Is 3x3 a good rep/set range to start with? Of course I'm starting with low weights and I do more warm ups sets as usual to learn form. what do you think?

pls help me

>>35166756
Triples are fine, but you'll likely be using such a low weight compared to your squat (right at the beginning) that you could aim to do more, it's not like you will be able to properly power clean a weight that will fatigue you for quite a few sessions at least.

You might be able to muscle up a heavy weight, and that will definitely fatigue you, but once you have reviewed footage of yourself lifting badly then you'll surely change how you lift.

>>35166836
wtf thank you for the reply but what do you mean? I don't understand your english.

>>35166875
While you are learning how to power clean, do 6-7x3-5 after warming up.

Do 5x3-5 push press.

Once you have a good feel for correct form, then start increasing the weight. Then reduce the volume because it will fatigue you more

when your starting out you cannot power clean alot cuz your form iz shit so your probably going to be starting out with baby weight. you can do more sets and reps on baby weight

Repost from QTDDTOT

How much effect could issues with the pituitary gland cause for gains? I don't think it's a tumor or anything (don't get MRI results back for a few days), and my test levels are fine, but a bunch of my other hormones are a bit off, and there might be other issues.

Is this likely to be effecting my gains, or is it just I'm eating wrong? Been doing SL for around 8 months now, and I got decent gains to start with, but I've been stalled at fucking shit lifts for a fair while now, even though I am bulking properly. Just not sure if I should be looking for a new program, or eating more, or if I just can't help it really, and I'm not sure where else to post this.

>>35166983

Is that some kind of snatch variation or something?

So i have developed quadriceps tendonitis from squatting every day... What do i do fit? Do i have to stop squatting?

>>35164803
Found the same desu mate. Now I never like to lift in front of mirror. My gym has 3 cages but I usually squat from stands on the platform facing the other way. Plus overlooking the cardio classes while I squat is fun.

>>35167175

Stop squatting every day?

If you're following a wl program twice a week is fine. You get enough volume from everything else.

>>35167191
No, i just love to squat

>>35166275

Arms should be like ropes until you pull under. Elbow bend at any stage of the initial pull or extension isn't great technique.

>>35167175
Who the fuck do you think you are? Some Bulgarian lifter training under Ivan Abadzhiev?

>>35167214
No, as i said earlier i just love to squat.

>>35167023
Kek, I wish it was something like that, but I get your point. Where would be the appropriate place to ask this stuff? My GP has no idea really, and I can't see an endocrinologist until early next year.

Hi /owg/
I need an advice. As the weight goes up in the clean I progressivly jump more and more backwards. I can deadlift 140 and up to 95kg i can clean with no problem. As soon as I try 97-98 i start jumping back and I have to force the weight back on my shoulder in the full squat position. With 100 or more I simply jump too far back. I also pull it way more high than I need it so even if I don't jump back, 1/2 the bar is gonna squeeze me out. Do anyone had similiar problems. I've been dealing with this for a month. I have 87 kg snatch and I can jerk 105-107kg but the clean is keeping me down.

>>35149981

>that little wet patch inside her thighs


HNNNNNNGGGG

>>35167246
Only joshing lad.

You should still be able to get stronger, esp as a beginner even with some minor hormone issues. I would suggest you double check your diet, double check your rest, double check your form. Normally the words "eat moor, sleep moar, stretch more" fix a variety of issues. If this stuff doesn't help then go see the specialist. You've got a nice little time before they are available to try to rule out a few possible causes before you see them. And time spent on rest, diet, mobility, and form is never wasted anyway.

>>35167236

When I was squatting 3x a week it was enough volume that sometimes the next day I would have aches in my knees. All I did was lay off and let it heal itself until it went after. I recommend doing the same. Leave it alone until it goes away because doing more squats is just going to aggravate it.

>>35167291
Do you do many muscle cleans? And also no touch and no feet variations? Try warming up by doing heaps of no feet cleans before you clean next time.

>>35167303
alright man, i really hope i havent fucked up for good

>>35167291

Feet moving one or two inches back in the clean isn't a bad thing.

Draw a line on the floor with chalk and start your lift with your toes against it, focus on keeping the extension as vertical as possible. As long as you're stable in the catch it's not really a problem.

>>35167300
I'll definitely crack down on diet, but I am still gaining weight, so I assume it's somewhat okay, a lot of what I eat is meat, and I do drink a protein shake too. Form isn't the best, but not so abysmal that I shouldn't be increasing at all, I'm not getting any pains from lifts, which I do with shit form.


I will work on those things though, just kinda worried that there's not much I can do about it, would suck to be left in a situation where lifting was going to be incredibly difficult to do anything with. But you're right, it can't hurt to work on those things.

So, has anyone here had slow progress and stuck at it? Everyone here seems to snatch bodyweight in a month

Been concentrating on oly lifting for maybe 4-5 months now and Max 75kg snatch at 78ish bw. Did a local meet just for the experience and watching the videos my snatch still looks very ropey

Very demoralising desu that I'm not taking to the sport easily, I'm used to track/field type sports and I've never really had an issue at being atleast locally competitive in them

I know I'll get the bullies telling me I'm shit and to quit but in all seriousness is there anyone half decent here who really struggled at first?

>>35167319
I read about that yesterday and I was willing to try today thanks bro, most of my pulling strenght comes from the hit I give with my hip since I have rather short arms and I can extend in the power position
>>35167325
Alredy tried with the line but the problem is that it's more like 15-20 cm jump

>>35167357
In snatch the tecnique is by far more important than the strenght. Strenght will kinda always grow faster than your tecnique. Focus on that. I've watched a lot of video, tried to mimic the tecnique of the best weightlifters. Try to change the grip width untill it fits you. Do muscle snatch to the parrallel as warm up, try to drain strenght from the hip in the power position rather than from the acceleration you get while deadlifting the bar up to your hip.

>>35167357
12 months into lifting and 6 months into weightlifting
I snatch 55kg at 85kg bw

>>35167433
kinda lame. Try improve your tecnique

>>35167357
This sport requires hard work. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying.

>>35166264
I dont remember bumpers but my bar is york.
>>35166275

>>35167357
6 months and i max snatch 60kg although i took 1 month off. just keep going anon

>>35167357
3 months and that's when I snatched bodyweight. Just keep at it

>>35167582
>>35167482
>>35167433
Thanks for the responses lads

I had a look at an old thread on reddit (inb4) and the answers there seemed more honest, everything from first time to over a year

I was told by a former national champ that 70kg after about 5months was quite good but all the stuff here makes me feel bad usually. Guess I should get off 4chin

>>35167675
Athletic background helps a lot and the "absurd standards" of /fit/ produce more good than bad.

>>35167357

Been weightlifting 8 months, snatch pb is 72 at 85 bodyweight (im also 190cm).

I have a terrible squat though, only 134kg, and i really struggle to get power into the extension. According to the old Russian lifting manuals my snatch should max out around 80 so i don't think i'm doing too bad.

>>35167742

Also one month off and one month light work because of injury.

>>35167742
I feel that. I'm 6'1 and weighed in 78 at first meet. According to Russian manual my snatch should be nearly 100 (155ish bs) or 90ish based off front squat

I know my technique sucks tho I power all my.snatches I just can't catch deep, was told by a national staff coach he thought it maybe be a mobility issues

>>35167853
yeah sounds like it. gotta work on those stretches senpai

>>35167853

I used to always have issues catching high. It wasn't mobility, just shit technique.

I was cannoning the bar out front and ripping it back over my head with my arms, so my weight would be way back on my heels and my hips would lock up.

>>35168019
I sometimes do let the bar get away during first pull which doesn't help but generally I've been told my pull is decent and I'm not really a bar banger. I think it's a combination of the two things probably, my lack of t spine and hip mobility doesn't help from the floor and I'm often better from the hang
