/owg/ - Olympic Weightlifting General

is it possible to get stronk from just cleans/power cleans? i hate deadlifting and recently learnt how to power clean and love it. Do oly lifter do heaps of deads or are most of their pulls from the snatch/cnj?

>>38613914

Oly lifters very rarely do conventional deadlifts, but they usually do a fair amount of heavy clean/snatch pulls to complement the squatting and cleaning/snatching.

>>38613914
squats are enough for general strength, but if you want to get good at cleans it'd be a good idea to do some heavyish clean pulls (dif from deadlifts)

also are isac/hwan/pent/comm still here
i havent read the wechat for months

>>38613922
>>38613936
yyeeewww i'm never doing another deadlift ever again

>>38614146

If you hate deadlifts, there's about a 90% chance you'll also hate clean pulls.

Got confirmation that I'm in for my first comp on 1st October.

Was worried with the state of WL in UK I'd be the only one in my weight class and would have the hollow victory by default but there's 6 other guys in the 77kg.

I was expecting everyone to be younger than me at 24 but they're all quite older except one.

I'll most likely come last though, coach wants ke to go 6/6 rather than push myself as it's my first comp. Probably end up going 60/75 if in lucky.

>tfw owg finally dies just as you start competing

>>38614511
Nice! When did you start olympic weightlifting? I'm tinking of starting soon.

>>38614643

Lifting in general for 14 months, weightlifting for 6 months.

Cheapest bumpers that aren't total shit?

I'm making the move to a home gym. Got a decent set with 300lbs of iron so sticking to power snatch/clean and snatch/clean deads and pulls as far as wl related things go.

I need more weight to be able to squat and DL effectively so I figure I will round out with a bumper set.

Obviously craigslist etc. is the first place to look, but any known places to scoop cheap (relatively) bumpers?

>>38614874
damn! that was fast!! good job mate

>>38613941
Hi hello

>>38614888
Chinks are short, they wear lifts all the time, even at the gym

Had a good day today lads
>Snatch doubles plus random technique stuff
>Snatch pulls
>FS
>fluffed around a bit
>caught up with my gym bro, he told me I had shit taste in women for drooling over the high test bodybuilder qt at the gym
>Check yo self played on the radio

>>38614511
UK too what comp is it

>>38614511
Ayy my next comp is on the 1st as well. It's going to be weird as hell because I just got a new coach and he wants to see me lift as oppose to get me on a proper competition prep lifting program

ok guys so im 19yo 186cm 73kg, been cutting cause i was a 108kg fat fuck, current bs is 90kg and fs 80kg im weak and want to get strong, i have a completely free schedule and have complete control over diet but im an aussie and on budget so its slim pickings, i've been working technique and flexibilty for the last 1 month and now wanna start training properly, what would be optimal for me to do considering i have all day everyday to eat sleep and train

>>38615873
a basic starter program, if you really wana do twice a days(which ur making it sound like) just do bar/tech work in the morning then normal programing in the afternoon

>>38615484
fuck out of here chink faggot

>>38614888
more quad engagement

>>38614511
Consistency in your lifts is definitely the most important thing when you're first starting out, don't worry too much about maxing out just yet.

>>38614888
Because olympic lifters do all their snatching/cleaning in their lifting shoes, taking them off would remove a degree of specificity from doing pulls.

>>38614511
Is it central regions comp? If so where is it bwl has no info!

77 and 85 are the most stacked at local level due to it being the most common average weight

And yes, go for 6/6 mate. I did my second comp a couple weeks ago and we aimed for 6/6 rather than pb's. Ended up with 5/6 and a total 12 kilos under gym best but still 40 up on last comp and more experience in the bag, so enjoy urself lad

>>38615746
>>38617505

Yeah Central Region Open.

Coach just gave me the application form and I sent it off, the dude from there emailed me yesterday.

>>38618021
Where do you train?

>>38613850
That looks incredibly dangerous.

hey /owg
currently been lifting for 5 months. i really want to get into oly lifting, but my current gym (local y) Is pretty lame in terms of rules about chalk, dropping weights, etc. until I'm able to find a gym that caters to oly lifting, what sort of routine should i get into. i figure a huge focus on front squat and shoulder pressing along with deadlifts would be a good start.

also, anybody know anything about Richard "Smitty" Smith. guy was an Olympian coach with a few Olympic games under his belt, also my neighbor for around 8 years. he passed away sadly in 2014. Pretty awesome guy, would love to know about his contributions to the sport

>>38620687
buy liquid chalk

get a big squat and get gud tech on classics

>>38620770
classics?

>>38620783
snatch and clean and jerk

>>38618428

From stuff I've seen mentioned on here before bwl isn't the greatest run organisation, but that's understandable really with where the sports at over here.

>>38620921
Well they're usually decent with putting comp details and results up, it may have been that it was filled quicker than anticipated I suppose

Does anyone here have the Asics 727? Their sizes are in cm so I'd like to know how does that compare to the actual measurement of your feet.

>>38621390
You gotta be atleast nationally competitive to wear them

>>38621637
nice meme :^)

Just wondering, how fucked up are your guys' thumbs? Tape is a thing yeah, but Im new to oly and just wondering whats gonna happen

>>38621932
i never tape my thumbs

stop being a pussy. you're not lifting heavy enough to do any damage to your thumbs

>>38621951
Idgaf Im just wondering how theyll end up looking. My hands are already fucked up from lifting when I was still sprinting

>>38621390
the sizing is a bit weird, so you should go for something around 5 sizes down

>>38621390
Fuck I want these shoes so damn much, I've been dropping hints to everyone I know that I really like them and that my shoes are wearing out

>>38620687
Mobility, lifting shoes, lots of heavy squats, don't worry about deads just do power cleans instead. Try doing overhead squats as that is a great mobility test, but if you cant drop weights you can't full snatch yet.

>>38619257

I'm not in the olympics, i just enjoy weightlifting and weightlifting training. now go be a fag somewhere else

>>38624317
Cool I'm not in the Olympics either, just trying to figure out why this thread is called owg and not wlg

>>38624345
hey man, i totally get that you're angry and bitter about being dumb. that's not your fault, there are a lot of external factors that determine intelligence. your mother probably drank during pregnancy for example, that would explain your fetal alcohol syndrome face.

but coming to poor old owg and trying to bully as an escape from your awful existence just isn't the way to deal with your problems okay? get off 4chan and go work, you got a lot of community college student loans to pay off i'm sure

>>38624345
i think it actually has to do with what people think of when you just say weightlifting. in my experience, they don't usually think of clean and jerk and snatch. when you say "olympic" lifting they understand

>>38624375
>calls little ol me the bully for asking some simple questions

He has a point though. The sport's called weightlifting. Adding the olympic to it makes it seem like we're competing in the olympics.

yes but it's easier to just say olympic weightlifting. there is no confusion, and you don't have to use an additional 45 seconds or so explaining how it's different

And rename yourself also, because your less 'boardshorts' and more 'frauding price of shit that still can't get a decent wilks'.

You're just mad you quit on weightlifting because you're a little bitch who can't stick anything out unless they can cheat. I remember you posting your 140kg front squat like it was special lol, you weighed like 120kg or some shit too. What a weak loser.

Sounds like some sort of hebe or pedo spinoff tho

>>38629046
It's because people here train specifically the lifts that are in the olympics and lots of people know them as the olympic lifts and it makes it sound cooler too, theres no denying that. /plg/ is welcome to call their general paralympic powerlifting general kek.

>>38627406
Man, you're really upset
Still, nobody has posted lifts, only complained
>Gave up on wl
Uhhh I never picked it up

You just need to make things up to feel better about yourself?

So far all you've done is complained, made shit up, and tried to bully where all I'm doing is asking questions and triggering olyboos like you, you could try being less sensitive

>>38629374
O-oh, yeah, I-I was trolling too, anon.

Nah, I'm aware of how ridiculous can the situation seem to some, because there's that weightlifting culture association kind of thing to legendary lifters in those shoes, but at the same time I feel that I shouldn't pay for what I don't like.

There's a listing on the japanese rakuten site that has them for 19000jpy, and I happen to know someone who could send them to me at no extra cost.
And considering that's slighlty cheaper as, for example, Romaleos where I live, I thought this would be a great opportunity.

>>38629544
I love the way you rise to people's shit so blatantly. You do honestly come across very insecure. What the fuck has anyone's lifts got to do with the fact that the general is 'owg'?

(If you honestly can't understand why the sport is named in such a way without linking it so literally to the actual Olympics, you're genuinely retarded and I feel sorry for you)

We're sensitive and upset yet you respond to every post back, and you only want people to post lifts to make yourself feel better, so you can cut that shit right out you get hypocrite.

Regardless of your lifts by your own admission you're here just to trigger people, that's pretty fucking childish and maybe you should get out more rather than your hobby being the big man on the internet. Mug.

>>38614887
That was very gratifying.

>>38627095
Usually in high bar squat, the bar rests on your traps. Squeeze them and you should feel comfortable

>>38627703

Don't hurt yourself, boyo.

Seriously, though, how has the hgh affected your recovery capacity, etc?

>>38629254
I'm with you, in French it's "haltérophilie". People tend to think it's power lifting though

Yes, but weightlifters tend to do pulls that are lighter weights and speed instead of conventional. you dont have to do it but its not #OPTIMAL.

I dont know what kind of "contacts" you have but as far as I know, people who does marketing degree updates company's twitter and make flyers. If you want to be in a analytical field you shouldve chosen statistics or finance. If you want to be in a lucrative technical field with a business degree, you can always look at Business Intelligence/Data Science as some people get bus. admin with concentration on MIS. I think Brandon Campbell does something like that and he has a nice car.

Its an yearly program right? You shouldnt have that much problems with it.


Btw already wrote a blog post about how hobbyists should take focus away from weightlifting since they don’t know how to regulate intensity and volume. I said that hobbyist’s focus should not be how to make the quickest progress but a fruitful and injury free career. It seems that many of you care too much about masculinity and forget what actually matters in life.
I also wrote one saying how block periodization are not worth doing and lot of weightlifters and powerlifters encourage broken programs. Did you know that block periodization was never created for weightlifters? Powerlifters needs to modify the hell out of it to make it to work and most of the time their programs are “good enough” but not #OPTIMAL. I also mentioned that it’s not powerlifters fault but it is American’s fault for not having a system. I discovered that Russians do have an yearly programs for powerlifters.
You guys can look up Dr. Yessis on why America sucks. He doesn’t really propose anything new but he made the Soviet system available to us which is really useful. He basically says America sucks because America is not Russia.

>I dont know what kind of "contacts" you have but as far as I know, people who does marketing degree updates company's twitter and make flyers
gross oversimplification of Marketing, and not the field I plan on being in. It's not going to be advertising or communications-based. What I'll be going for is pricing, R&D, and market research. Those are all facets of marketing along with advertising. Either way, there is money to be made in every path of business, it just depends on whether your skillset is compatible with your education or not.

I think we should rename to halterofilia general and only post Lidia webms

I want to buy oly lifting shoes, but I've heard that you usually have to get a different size than normal. For reference, I'm a 43-44 EU.

Also, do they wear out easily? Would it be a good idea to wear other shoes to go to the gym (20 min walk) and change to oly shoes there or just walk with oly shoes?

>>38635060
It really depends on the shoe, you want a snug fit, that's for sure, so lots of shoes should be bought half a size down. Go talk to a podiatrist, or a proper shoefitter to talk about your feet. They will be able to tell you what shape your feet are, high/low instep, wide/narrow forefoot, etc... I went to a really well regarded skiboot fitter recently and he was able to tell me all about my feet.

As I understand it, romaleos fit people with a wider forefoot better than most other wl shoes. However most shoes will give quite a bit in the toebox over time anyway.

The only shoes worth buying have a stiff upper and rigid soles. And apart from the last adipowers they wear really well if all you do is lift in them.

This might have been power

>>38630696
I've been off for 2 weeks.

>>38624162
Got my adipower on wiggles. You can also get them from iron edge. Just Google it you stupid fuck

I've recently started doing power cleans in SS
I'm finding it really hard to get into the rack position so that my elbows are high enough that that bar is resting on my delts

If I use a wider grip it will help right? My mobility doesnt allow that so how do I stretch that kind of position?

>>38637399
Probably not desu

Do these three stretches daily until you can get into proper rack position

Get on all fours, rotate arms so that the heels of your palms are pointed away from you, keep your palms on the floor as you rock forward gently.

Stand in front of a squat rack with a barbell on it, place your elbows on it with your arms bent, hands near shoulders, let your body gently lean downwards, leaning more weight gradually on the barbell

>>38637399
Also, think "big chest, shoulders up" when you are catching the weight

>>38614887
did that lift count? her has hit the floor

>>38638653
It was passed because the judges didn't properly tell in real time but per the rules if he ass touched the floor it is a missed lift

>>38635008
Except Lidia a shit

>>38639244
please don't post here ever again ok???

>>38613941
pas, where have you been?

>>38639244
>>>/plg/

>>38638976
Even if it passed the first three judges, how did it pass the other 5?

>>38629254
Halterofilia literally means "an affinity towards weights", it's not exclusively used to refer to Olympic lifting

>>38639422
be grateful we're keeping this ded thred and ded sport alive nerdo

>>38622005
you're a fucking beginner so obviously they won't look that different because you can snatch 35kg

>>38639620
It only goes to the jury if they decide to challenge it. They don't have video replay so they obviously decided the judges call was acceptable. In real time it's much harder to tell if you're just sitting there.

>>38639626
Who the fuck cares? Pedofilia also literally means "an affinity towards kids", and it certainly has more connotations that it's literal meaning.

I have a bum knee from Judo.

I can't squat well, because to compensate for my knee my other leg does more of the lifting.

Clean deadlifts/clean pulls seem to be fine though. If I do those instead of squats for now will I be fine lads? What advice do you have for me?

rip uni nats dream team
I didn't make qualifiers the first time and decided to lay low and focus on training instead
juan is doing his final semester in college and is barely getting 4 hours of sleep a night, and his body is falling apart
shez hurt his wrist from a bad clean a few weeks ago and now he can't snatch more than 80kgs
eric doesn't want to come anymore

god has left me behind

>>38646470
how old is juan?

>>38645281
thanks man. that is exactly my problem.

>>38645281
Do you know of anything similar but for lower back? I always feel my right side of my lower back burn more than my left . It's an imbalance (i think) that developed about 2 years ago and I haven't been able to correct it.

Should I just start doing more unilateral stuff for a while to balance things out?

>>38646470

one day my back will heal and I will be the athlete you deserve :^)

not for ages though, so gl

>>38649773

powers are feasible, and you can probably muscle snatch

also git hyuge

>>38650702

desu he'd rock the shit out of a fitted T

>>38649892

yes you can, probably if you're not planning on competing at the optimal weightclass

amateur weightlifters are aesthetic as fuck, and it's nice knowing you can distance yourself from the zyzz vain bodybuilding crowd

>anon how'd you get those muscles??
>sport baby, sport.

>>38649892

Aesthetic by who's standards?

/fit/'s, no chance

Normie's, literally lifting anything more than once a week puts you above 90% of the populus

>>38648522
I front squatted 110 for a single and cj 105 yesterday hehe watch out

>>38646470
Isn't shez the guy who barely snatches 80 anyway?

>>38652657

he's aiming for 100/125@62 at uni nats

>>38653098
put the rack lower, you barely got it out.
stop taking so many steps backwards, 2 maximum.
stop divebombing
push knees out.
fuck you.

>>38653582
The rack is at the perfect height.
I'll step back however far I want since I'm not a bitch like you.
Divebomb is minimal but its something I'm working on.
I do push knees out, but the valgus is minimal anyway.

Let me ask you something though, was I asking for a form check????? Was I asking for advice????? Uhh, noo?????? So why don't you fuck off? I think you're just mad I could give better advice in a second of thought than you could give with 6 hours of research, and the fact that I can easily rep your max kid.

>>38655292

>>38653012
Not a bad total for an amatuer 77 either tho... Better than u ;^)

i've been lifting for over 1 and i want to start moving into an olympic lifting program from a general Starting Strength split. does this seem like a good program for a beginner in terms of technique and application of olympic lifts. all i've done before were power snatches and power cleans from Starting Strength.

My European country only has ONE Olympic weightlifter that is on a decent level. But i'm Going to Ukraine next week. Can i learn both Olympic lifts in 1-2 training sessions with a good coach? I'd like to progress on my own.

Holy shit how complicated do you want to make it lad? Just go for the catalyst beginner program

And read up on transitioning from power lifting to weightlifting on Justin lasceks website

>>38663789
You can get started, I got a good understanding of the lifts after about a year

>>38663412
>tnation

>>38663789
You can get a start. You'll probably never be national or international quality anyway even with a coach so just go for it.

Look at it this way anon, you could start lifting, and become a coach, and start the popularity in your country, and when you're old and you're country is a superpower, that anon with the humble roots and average lifts will be remembered as the man that started it all.
