what did he mean by this
>>36682742
i have inflamed sciatica, got a phisio treatment yesterday and i'm taking anti inflammatory (my gf is a nurse and gave me some strong ones) , it doesnt hurt anymore even when i stretch, should try to lift again tomorrow? it wasnt bad, i could still snatch and back squat, pulls front and jerk were very painful tho.
Fucking failed 5pl8 squat today, sorry to disappoint you.
>>36683603
i wud rest
>>36684428
do it better next time ya numpty
>>36684454
>ya numpty
Thanks anon, needed that.
>tfw nowhere near flexible enough for olympic lifting
>can't get close to racking a front squat/clean because of tight hands/arms/shoulders
>tight lower back makes squatting hard, never mind dropping into a squat very quickly catching a clean or snatch
I literally need to foam roll for like 30 minutes before every gym session just so my legs don't sieze up when I try to squat because my quads are that tight
>>36685050
keep stretching and foam rolling everyday, anon. you're gonna make it.
>>36685219
I'm trying anon ;_;
My legs and back are getting better slowly but I can't seem to help the hands/rack position stuff
>>36685246
stretch harder pussy
>>36682828
Holy mother of straight pulls that was a great snatch.
>>36682742
Fuck, I hit my chin while learning push press. How to avoid this?
>>36687294
just detach the chin before the set
>>36687294
you just need to build the reflex of moving your head back each time. every time you do it correctly will build the muscle memory

>>36689163
power and friendship
>>36687320
I agree with anon, detaching chin before every push set will help a great deal with mobility
>>36689363
weightlifters absolutely BTFO
Does the toe box of adipowers loosen up when broken in?
Or.shall I get a thinner insole on the foot that's bigger (lol)
I used to do wl but had to stop due to this injury, amongst other things. I didn't get replies when I posted this in other threads so here I go:
Does any of you kind anons know how to target the VMO / teardrop muscle of the thigh? I've tried narrow stance squats, hack lift, leg extensions, etc without much success.
how would I alter my squat to target the vmo? narrow stance and feet rotated out?

Oh yeh goy you totally got us so good good bant really top.banter lad I bet ur king top lad m8 hehebebebe
>>36682742
I started doing it last week, got a friend who is a crossfit instructor and convinced me in "joining" his weightlifting class once per week (he does courses everyday but once a week he focus on weightlifting only). He is pretty serious (lots of certifications and i know he trained with various medalists) and take max 6 people at a time to train but fit kinda brainwashed me in hating crossfit so i don't know if i should completely trust him.
I asked him if I could train everyday and he told me that it's ok, or even better to get the technique going. Is this ok?
He also told me i should foamroll and make mobility work at the start every workout even if my mobility is good... seems kind of overkill to me what do you think?
Also i feel like a wimp doing 60kg cleans and 40kg snatches, it's like starting lifting all over again.
>>36689737
It sounds like your friend is spot on and you're just arrogant desu
Do what he says. Foam roll+mobility is not overkill. You're lucky to not be starting on an empty bar or a stick desu. Just cos you're strong enough to 'clean' 60kg doesn't mean you're doing it properly... Look at norse for example
Im struggling with my right ankle mobility, i have foamrolled and stretched everything from my toes to my hips, and it just doesnt fucking work. I suspect its an old injury from twisting my ankle or some shit.
Anyways, what can i do to compensate for this? It throws me off bigtime when i squat to full depth without sleeves (le tme bounce out of the hole before my ankle mobility fucks me up).
I heard turning your feet out is a way of compensating for ankle mobility,, is this what aleksey is doing in this pic?
If anyone has any input, please give.
>>36689938
Your feet aren't supposed to be exactly parallel, there's nothing out of the ordinary with his squat stance. If you have to turn them out excessively, then you have a problem.
>>36690085
Nothing excessive, im asking if there is a way to compensate for bad ankle mobility (relative to my left ankle)
>>36689557
dont push your knees out
my classics are especially sloppy lately
hope i dont fuck up too bad at comp
training got a little wacky because of this pacemaker in charge of the gym at school. My tek could be especially sloppy because of that but hard to say
>>36690518
tfw i will always be a fatass just doing highbar squats while lurking owg
>>36690168
get a heel lift for both ankles if it's really fucking u up like u say
i've got the same thing going on with lovchev i bet he just has one leg naturally pointing outwards, no matter what i do my right leg is turned outwards slightly, if i set up and look at my feet they look even to me but guys i lift with always point out that my right feet is always slightly more outwards
>>36690546
I have Adipowers, but now that you mention it i usually catch my right foot pointing slightly outwards and is a little further forward than my left if i dont think about it. Should i try squatting like that?
>>36690518
is this just a regular gym class?
the only gym class i had was for football and it was only football dudes
wish we had some bitches walking around too, we had the water girl and some senior bitch idk what she does maybe a TA she had big titties but she's uggo
>>36690581
it's "advanced physical conditioning" aka lifting class
i'm not always allowed to do whatever i want though.
>>36690577
try it, don't exaggerate it tho
are you sure one leg is not shorter than the other? if it is then just squat with one pointing slightly out
i've got one leg shorter, trying the staggered stance like klokov does in his pulls/squats didnt do shit for me
>>36690624
tell i fuck u all bitches i am win arnold and show him your metal
why are you catching on toes still, land flat dumbass
>>36690544
know your place boy
>>36690854
;___;
>>36690663
well i did catch flat but when i stood i went onto toes
>>36689557
front squat more and leg extension with pause at top
I just got my Romaleos 2. I'm sure this gets asked a lot, but which soles should I use? I'm not planning to compete.
>>36691568
whichever you like better
>>36691568
i use competition because they're nicer and fit my feet better
Newfag here, my coach is teaching me the lifts after months of just squats and deads
He was showing me this thing where you get the bar and youre suppose to bring it straight up like a shrug but not really, dont know what's it called
Do you guys know the name? Want to watch YouTube vids
>>36692521
High pulls, torokhtiy has vids
I just started my oly lifting classes /owg/
The hurt feels so good
>>36692566
Do you have prior lifting experience? I'm also new to this
>>36692557
Thanks
>>36692582
Yeah, but just basics like squats, deads, shrugs, etc.
We worked Snatch today and Jesus I have so much respect for oly lifters
>>36689779
Really if you're just starting you should never put any weight on the bar until you have the movements down
>>36690168
do you feel like you have an impingement? like you get a small kind of sharp pain around your ankle? or is it the actual lack of flexibility?
>>36692566
is that a fucking cubone tattoo
hehe so nerdy XD
>>36690518
is this gym for all students, or specifically football players? I'm jelly
>>36692913
All students
>>36692943
my fucking 30k/yr uni gym is trash compared to this place (tuition nearly fully paid though and free gym so shouldn't complain)
wish I could lift at the athletics center, that would be godly, fuark
deliuge, bro can u pls stop kirksman from posting retarded shit he's out of control lmao
>>36692965
what are you studying? maybe you can axe one of the qt3.14s working at the athletics center to let you in, or be friendly with the football s&c coach
>>36693050
he really is
I found coach wu on instagram and I don't get what he's saying either
https://www.instagram.com/p/BDDrIMJwBhs/
>>36693074
UCLA, sometimes lift at wooden but the bars are shit, the platforms are shit, and the people are shit. Also there's nowhere to jerk
I graduate in like 2 months though so I'm starting to wonder if there's much point. That said, when I lift in a dedicated wl area, I'm far stronger, so it could be a nice boost
I can fit a finger in between the heel and my foot of my size 10.5 Romaleos 2's. Does this mean I should get half a size smaller? They feel comfortable besides this. I only plan to squat in these shoes for now.
>>36693113
china has different grammar and language use and all that, i don't get why he's bothering trying to explain this westeners which are most of his followers won't care about how he explains it, just teach the damn thing no one cares how you break down how the language is used literally
>>36693151
ye probs
diane fu seems to make a living out of this though so I can understand why it's being spread around
plus the market demand for chines sekrits right now is through the roof
Went up to 90 percent today. Gym got new bars/bumpers/collars so I wanted to play with them
>>36693214
>>36693225
looked nice but your leg strength holding you back. Is for me too
max squat?
>>36693225
cj max is 138 or 140? why 125 look like struggle bus
>>36693248
>>36693251
max cj 137, max front squat 150. Wasn't planning on training so i didn't bring my belt or have any carbs pre(cutting for comp). That was also my second rep of CJ because my first didn't record.
but yeah, my leg strength sucks
>>36693050
gotta make those crossfit monies somehow
he ain't a very eloquent guy
>>36693214
lookin handsome lad
how old are you?
>>36693365
>eloquent guy
has nothing to do with eloquence, he's literally saying this guy is rounding his back and that's intentional (not huge erections)
does china program differently for heavier lifters? i'm a 105 feels very 80kg jerks felt very heavy today lol, i bs 190 for a very easy single yesterday then some drop sets
>>36693379
21. 77 kilo class. might see you at universities this year
>>36687320
>>36689420
But detaching head is much more better
>>36693403
What's your favorite anime
Also I decided against moving juan up to 85 after seeing his pitiful attempt to gain weight
He's going 77 and we're expecting 130/160 openers (and possibly gold)
How much do you:
>weight
>PRs
> $/month on groceries
Thanks
>>36693397
Ye idk wat he tryin 2 pull this time desune
If 80kg feels heavy and you squat 190 then ur programming and/or tech succs
Ye heavier classes tend to do more volume than manlets from what I've seen
>>36693688
130kg
50/70
$500
Do I need a coach to stay oly lifting? I wanna do it, but sit gave extra cash fit a trainer. Been powerlifting for few years, if that matters.
>>36693696
pr is actually 155cj just 80 felt very very heavy today, still was easy though just very sluggish i didnt move up from there
might be the programming, the coach doesnt give a fuck anymore and just focuses on his one special athlete, he's very strong tho might be olympic tier by 2020
>>36693754
Age/class/numbers?
Are you still paying your coach
How are you just gonna cuck yourself like that
>>36693796
whose numbers?
the guy has hit 175/210 in training 170/200 i think in comp those are basically from 1 year wl training
26 @ 105
the gym has a contract i'm waiting on it to expire, i like the gym otherwise probably cheaper than most place i can go to in this area
I have to ask, why don't you people ever LINK the old thread to the new thread once the bump limit is hit?
Every time the thread just dies and I have to go digging through the Catalogue to find the new one. I am unreasonably annoyed by this.
Step your shit up.
>>36693976
>press catalog
>ctrl +f
>type in owg
wow ur a retarded
even phone browsers have a find function on the page your'e browsing
>>36693748
>I wanna do it, but sit gave extra cash fit a trainer.
>but sit gave extra cash fit a trainer.
Nigga what
Also, you should win a prize for being the millionth nitwit to ask that question. No, you do not NEED a coach. If you aren't brick dumb, you can learn the lifts well enough to do them safely and effectively through the internet.
>>36693999
>Copy new thread number

A lot simpler than every scrub here having to find the new thread.

>>36693914
Is this calstrength lol
>>36694056
yeah, he just completely stopped giving a shit all together barely watches the team train, he never gave anyone a decent cue since i started there
what's the name of this place right by catalyst you mentioned here one time? i might go there instead
>>36694096
Smash gyms
Literally right next door to catalyst in sunnyvale
>>36694096
he just focuses on the qt southern boy now?
I've always wondered if he's a good coach. Pendlay seems way better but if you get your business liquidated it's probably bad for confidence of your athletes. One of his better girls moved to catalyst
>>36694228
that wasn't really pendlay's fault mdusa was too big and had too much stock, they were doing good during crossfit boom years when every city gets a new box every month, now all them boxes are outfitted properly there's no more need for that big gym supply company
add in having athletes to support on top of having no sales
pendlay didnt own mdusa he was just coaching and probably owned some share in there
>>36694297
gotcha, I thought he was sole proprietor. I see what you mean though, most gyms I see now have rogue plates though I've always preferred the pendlay equipment as far as budget wl weights and bars go

>>36694965
So the shoes were gucci, cleans and snatches felt great but my working set squats were pretty terrible. Kept coming forward out of the hole and almost turning it into a good morning because my balance felt off throughout the movement, like it was too far forward..
Would this be a matter of just getting used to the shoes? Warm-up sets and lighter weights were fine it was only with my working sets
>>36698762
It's cold in my gym
>>36700240
I went from innov8s to adipowers which have a taller heel, and it took a while to get used to.
You motor pattern is still trying to do what you used to, in different shoes. No wonder you're off.
>>36696794
nice taste
my plantar fasciitis I think is coming from shoes with too much cushion
Anyone have any idea what general/walking shoes I can get with no cushion but still enough to go hiking in? I'm thinking NB minimus
>>36700240
It would be a matter of just doing proper lowbar squat like you should already be doing.
>>36699260
Fuck you goof we were on page 8 so I had to post something

no access to oly bar
Will a dead lift bar bear be fine? Or should i buy an oly bar if so which? Ohio bar look promising.
>>36702966
you could do it but imo a pl bar will be annoying to lift with
same thing with those shit bars that dont spin
bored because no WL until back gets better so I've decided I'll be buying new laptop
hp spectre x360 or lenovo yoga 900?
>>36703173
Guess i have to buy a bar.
>>36703649
I vouch for lenovo had my lenovo x1 for 4 years no problems and repair was quick and easy plus lenovo make the best keyboard by far
>>36700991
can u vote commie
>>36702231
just switched over to highbar the other week desu baka
>>36704179
yeah the keyboard was actually kind of plasticky, but the reviews seem to say that they're equally good
>>36704213
nope
Justice gun morph
Surprisingly decent training after stressful work day.
Snatch - 80/3, 85/2, 90/2, 95/2, (100/1)3
C+J - 100/2, 110/2, 115/2, 120/2, (125/1)3
Squat - (130/3)8, 140/3, 150
Snatch Pull - (90/3)6
Basically 95% of best comp lifts for 3 singles each, no misses.

Why do chink women often have such massive fiveheads?
Is this a side effect of the roids or just genetics?

Hi guys I'm new to olympic weightlifting (and lifting weights in general but I want this stuff to be my focus)
I did some Overhead Squats today and I didn't feel my lower back tighten or restrict me while I was squatting (and it used to, so that's progress I suppose) - but after doing a few squats it felt very sore and tight. It didn't really limit my mobility as I continued but it's locked up now
Do I need better core strength?
>>36713300
>>36713311
>>36713320
idk im hallucinating again
the ghosts whispers to me whenever im in the gym by myself
i release my angst by tying stuffed action figures in a methodical way
>>36713348
since you're new I'll tell you this
whenever you ask something like this always provide a video, without a video we'll never be able to tell what you're doing wrong or what your problem might be
>>36713373
the eww was to your jerk m8
>>36706794
Nah m8 mugi's where it's at
>>36713389
okay friend i will get my mate to film me next time
>>36685050
if you're that tight and inflexible you probably shouldn't even squat desu senpai
its like the shit I see from the cf people at my gym, people who have nowhere near the requisite mobility for even simple movements and you can just watch them slowly destroying their bodies
>>36713644
How do I make my body able to squat senpai ;_;

Japanese handstands seem like a P dam useful assistance exercise for snatch.
How do I improve my ankle flexibility so my knees track further forward?
They only go about as far as my toes and my femurs get in the way of my torso so at the bottom I'm hunched forward not nice and vertical
>>36714505

>>36717582
Oh yeah i forgot my excuse
i didnt know i was competing today until a few days ago. have been focusing squat and ignoring classics but power snatch saw no performance decrease for some reason.

other than oly lifts dont you do other lifts like bench
>>36718320
I do snatch, clean and jerk, front squat, squat, power variations and that's about it
sometimes if i have technical issues that need immediate fixing i'll do push press or pulls. I train abs too.
>>36718358
well where are the abs then
Wew lads, signed up for babbys first meet at the end of the month. One week into peaking program and things are going swell. Hoping to hit 110/140@~100kg. Any advice beyond the 100s of first meet FAQs I've already read? Pic is from snatchies today.

>>36718921

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z03a2KWZ1Kg
Form check pls, body weight snatch.
what should I do in order to increase my pull strength?

Japanese handstands seem like a P dam useful assistance exercise for snatch.
>>36719323
You stepped over the bar, you don't deserve advice.
>>36719323
try not stepping over the bar like that you nerd looking anime faggot
>>36719323
Dude, just cut the video short next time you accidentally step over the bar. But really srs.

Is this a meme? I don't get it.
>>36720454

Never step over the bar senpai
>>36720454
Welcome to 4chan.
/owg/ I need to know your opinion.
Recently I have been searching for a pair of weightlifting shoes but I have faced a deep concern about heel height, basically the heel height variate from 0.75 to 1.5 inches and I don't know why there is such difference?
Can you help me with this?
>>36720924
the higher the heel, the more you're over compensating for being a manlet
also helps with ankle flexiblity
>>36721140
Hey, rad meme.
http://www.allthingsgym.com/2016-european-weightlifting-championships/
soon my niggers
>>36713446
shit taste desu my famalam
what do you guys to for upper back mobility
>>36721222
ur mum..........a favor........by telling you to strech
>>36721140
But then why most of the reviews that I read talked about how higher heel is better for taller people?
>>36721290
because tall people are the biggest manlets of them all
>>36721222
cat dogs, wall shoulder push thoughts, and foam roller vertebra lays.
>>36721222
bridges
>>36721297
O-ok.
So I should start using them with 100% or deload to 80% and work with them from there?
>>36721324
you dont train at 100% just see how warmups go do some lighter reps get a feel for them and then do your work out
>>36720454
stepping over the bar or touching the bar with feet is something nobody else in the world cares about except on the internet because klokov or some other russian said its disrespectful that one time in a video
>>36721649
why do they care though
>>36721653
>because klokov or some other russian said its disrespectful that one time in a video
>>36721653
the russians like to treat the bar as a training partner and say you wouldn't step over your partner so why step over the bar or something like that
>>36721670
but the bar is literally not alive
>>36721683
check your living privilege shitlord
>>36721649
>>36721670
>>36721683
the same goes for dropping the empty bar
nobody else really cares
im not sure if the russians care either cuz ive seen them dropping them too
>>36721696
yee

when does the euro championships start
>>36721937
2 hours ago
>>36721971
>womens
i meant the real lifting
>>36721989
6 hours and 7 min
>>36721924
To be fair, that doesn't look like its very good for the bar
>>36722190
the bar frequently gets dropped with another 100 kilos on it
i don't think its going to get damaged
>>36722368
the only thing im dropping is my dong in ur mums vag
>>36722368
But better to not put unnecessary strain on it, no? Same reason lifters rarely or never max out during training.
>>36722368
>>36722454
lol u guys
>>36722454
true true, I hear thats why chinese get longer bar life than the americans using the bulgarian max out method. Nice spotting anon
>>36722481
thanks I don't even lift
Everyone who uses an anime picture please kill yourself you are degenerate scum

legend
>>36718526
nice shoes bro
>>36709645
It can be as much a technical exercise as for strength.
>>36721649
I got a red once because I did that in competition.
>>36724975
lmao
what a faggot judge
>>36725004
it was me in a wig
>>36724975
that literally did not happen. show me the section in the IWF rulebook that states a lifter is given red lights if he steps over the bar
kys retard
>>36725020
It absolutely happened in a local competition in Northern France and my coach killed me for that.
>>36725473
no it didn't. again, show me the section in the IWF rulebook that states a lifter is given red lights if he steps over the bar
>>36725502
I'm not saying that it's an actual rule, just saying I got a red from that in an area competition because it was deemed disrespectful or because he doesn't know the rules. Once I saw refs arguing for 10 minutes because one of them didn't know you can change your bar 2 times after natural progression.
Anyone watches European Championship?
>>36725644
ye
impressive seeing that 40 year old still compete
>>36725663
>impressive seeing that 40 year old still compete
who again
>>36725695
tom, the belgian dude
is that Taner Sagir coach of the turk dude?
-56 shouldn't exist because only turbo manlets can compete there agree Y/N?
>>36725741
No gtfo
How many chinese U17 could get a medal if they took part in the Euro -56?
>that guy who fails his 2nd attempt and then decides to add another 5kg for his 3rd attempt
>>36725906
thats what ego does to you m8
https://youtu.be/z03a2KWZ1Kg

>>36726134
That's not a real PR he got out of the platform.
>>36726176
yeah but platforms in comp are pretty big.
definitely a lot bigger than that little board lmao
>>36726176
>>36726238
look at how big this platform is
this is from the 2015 pan am games in Toronto (I believe). I actually lifted on it at a comp yesterday, I heard it costs $50,000 (eleiko stuff is so expensive, jesus Christ). But look at how big that is.
I'm pretty sure that kid wouldn't have walked off THIS platform doing that lift.
>>36726039
I defeated the bar at that weight so I can step over it all I want. I crawl under the weights I haven't lifted yet.
>>36726319
better pic since it doesn't have a collapsed fat American on it. kek
my gym also has some of the same plates as in these pics too. pretty rad.
Wellllllllllllllllllllllllllp
>>36726238
>>36726319
That was just funny humor relax.
>>36726415
>comparing some average PLer to the best WLer
gj
>>36726415
one of these guys is an american who probably has a normal job and powerlifts as a hobby
the other is chinamen who was raised since child to be world greatest #1 orympic weight rifter
>>36726415
>lolfed vs olympic tier 1
>>36726484
>>36726522

>>36726415
benis
get rekt fgt
>>36717926
cat doesn't seem to care it almost died.
>>36718526
You're numbers are v good for first meet but don't go balls to the wall first time, it's a lot different on the platform than training so make sure you nail your lifts.
Most of all enjoy it
