"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.

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

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.

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.

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

>>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

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

>>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.

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

do I really need to put lots of money on adipowers?

>>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

>>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

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

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.

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

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

Why would you get it if you aren't a weightlifter?

>>35418264
Man... Idk. You think it's legit?

>>35418529

>>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

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

Could probably snatch 105kg by then. I doubt you'll put 35-45kg onto your clean and jerk in 9 months though.

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?

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

>>35423071
>>35423093
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.

Cleaned 205lbs today. I am a 20 yo female who weighs 75kg. I have been training for 3 months (but been powerlifting for 2 years) and using YouTube for coaching. Should I pursue oly? What kind of numbers should I get to before competing?

>>35432636
if you enjoy the sport you should pursue it, you can compete with any numbers

>>35432636
Youre gonna have to post pictures of your legs before we can determine your ability to compete.

Leg size and shape is the biggest deciding factor.

>>35428344
I've got those double EE size feet, I have adipowers and rogue do-wins, and much prefer the do-wins because the suede type leather is more malleable and lets my feet stretch the shoes out to a good width but I did also order them a half size up so there's a little extra play room in the back that I dislike.

>it actually worked

Being serious though it looks like youre p fucking strong and if youre cleaning 100 or whatever you said as a beginner than for sure start competing. Whether or not you stick with oly lifting comes down to how much you enjoy it. I fucking love this sport and it keeps me sane so regardless of the fact that i suck at it, i still do it

>>35435401
Nigga she said she was a girl in her first post.

>>35432636
That's very strong for someone new to the sport. If you like doing it, go for it! Regardless of numbers, competitions are a very good way to focus training - they let you kinda dial in on a single day to hit those numbers you want. That being said, for your first meet, always best to open with something you basically can't miss. My coach prefers that all his lifters go 5 or 6 for 6 in their first meet.

>>35435346
Those little feet, fucking kek.

>>35435516
>>35435537
I really like it so far, so I think I will try and get a coach so I can compete later this year maybe. Thanks for the advice

How strong are your glutes, knee tracking is a serious issue in weightlifting and you don't want to unnecessarily fuck your knees up so early in your career.

Post glutes so we can see if they are strong enough for you to compete

Subjective theory of value is trash. The labor theory of value is about SOCIALLY NECESSARY labor time. If you'd read any marx you'd know that. That article sure as hell doesn't know what the labor theory of value is.

>Stefan Molyneux
I actually watch him a lot and i hardly agree with him. He's a cultist, starting all of his videos with "THE TRUTH ABOUT..."

Yep. You probably ignore him because he calls you out for what you are. A malicious person.

> translation- capitalism that isnt my utopia
Thanks for confirming you're retardation.

Essentially you want society to be run by a central authority/government that distributes goods and services. Geez. Spare me the sophistry in the end it all fails.

Whatever flavor of authoritarianism it is.

I can appreciate the LTV but I see STV as more realistic and effective. There is a reason why countries that free their markets and emphasize liberty do better

Uh no. ps a capitalist workplace is always bureaucratic or autocratic.

Your refutation of the LTV was based on a misinterpretation(likely intentional)

Have you ever considered reading marx/getting a leftist perspective from someone besides an "anarcho" capitalist?

not the best, your back is all over the place, you over-arch and hyperextend at the start (which isn't great in the first place as it makes it hard to use your abs and glutes properly and puts a lot of strain on the back) and then you lose it halfway down anyway.

you should really get some lifting shoes, other than that, squat with a neutral back, everything above the hips should look exactly the same throughout the entire movement
