Guys is this legit? Adidas Powerlift 2.0 for 45 Euros

>>39173009

seems reasonable, adidas is a german company and 43eu sounds about right

amazon is also extremely trustworthy

Is there any good olympic weightlifting programs that i can get for free?

>>39173239

define good, the best programs are such because they're tailored to you

Everett has some OK ones

>>39173258

>>39173339
didnt see, i just had to registre for their maillist

>>39172411
Why is owg upset about this? Because he didn't fully extend?

>>39175092
it's because his tech is in truth fucking garbage, classic american weightlifting, but I wouldn't personally rip on him for it, he's a strong little dude who lifts big weights w/e

>>39175436
Tbh he gets ripped on more cos he's American. No ripped on ehab, Pavlov, etc tons of guys with out great technique. Shit, everyone of klokov snatches look different. Even dimas didn't have what was textbook 'good technique'

>>39175465
Shit tech gets ripped on regardless of nationality dude

>>39176098
Not as much
Just look around the internet
Am.not even American it's just fact

>>39175436
technique doesn't matter in weightlifting, the only thing that matters is winning and setting records, both things that CJ has done a remarkable job of.

>all this hate on a kid that just set a world record because his form 'just don't look right'

Cunts.

>>39177422
I also hate blacks

>>39176678
Might b because most of those posters are american so they feel more right to criticize their own cunt than others

>>39176886

yeah true
you do get the feeling he could be even stronger with some tweaks though, regardless of how true it may actually be

>>39177452
I don't like blanks either, but I don't take anything away from his lift. Just like I hate Muslims but still enjoy watching Ehab and Salimi

>>39178665
Blacks*

>>39178203
This I agree with. More so on his snatch though

>>39178691

50kg difference between max sn and max clean and jerk is ridiculous

>>39182755

it's ok CJ, you still got gold

How do you safely dump the weight mid-jerk if it's too heavy?

>>39183414
If it's forward it'll be easy to drop in front, if it's over head just dump it either side, naturally your trailing leg should come out of the way if it goes behind. Looks sketchier than it is

Guys a couple Qs.

>Have any of you used Hi-temps? Is there much difference? I'm trying to find plates for lifting at home, hi temps are all fun and games until you realise the max you can fit on a bar is like 180kg with all 25kg, basically I can do everything except I'm fucked for deadlifts.
The floor is wood which is why I'd rather get hitemps over something else but not if it doesn't make a difference.

I need to be able to do lifts and also slow pulls indoors on a platform, in a wooden shed. Minimal noise preferred.

What would you do?

How do I stop myself passing out doing cleans? Even at pathetic warmup weights and using my poverty-level power clean working weight of 80kg I feel incredibly dizzy and passed out a few times

>>39188294

>>39189479

>>39182182

Does everybody shave their legs before a comp? Do hairy legs catch on the spandex?

>>39190614
legs aren't shaved, and ive never heard of it being an issue

You probs shouldn't shave, the bar contract makes you prone to ingrown hairs

so i let a coach program for me a while ago
4 weeks later and im injured and hate training
he really doesnt want to let me go back to programming for myself, but im not gonna follow his program anymore
how to stay on good relations with him (ie not get kicked out of gym)
help guys i dont get people

>>39197241
Stop being a pussy and follow the program. If you are getting injured and hate training, it means that you are far away from your comfort zone where the best gains happen. But now you act like a pussy and that's why you are getting injured. Keep focus and kill the weights m8

>>39197474
Lol
You should read pas' blog sometime

>>39197241
Just be like yeah sorry this prog ain't meant for me
Or make up some excuse like how you're busy with school so you wanna program for yourself to be more flexible with your sched

>>39197523
ye ill try the school excuse thats gud
ill also probs tell him i dont wanna be gud i just wanna have fun

>>39197693
This is a fair thing to say. You've hit some decent numbers for an amatuer lifter so just tell him your goal now is to enjoy it even if the gains are slower (let's be real if you hate training you'll likely never make gains unless you're a top athlete forced to work)

>>39197474
>far away from your comfort zone where the best gains happen

not if you're getting injured retard

IM A TUFF GUY LMAOOOO

you're retarded and has never trained under a coach equally retarded as you, i can tell

>>39197241

one more si joint question pas
when you were recovering and it went away, did you do nothing or did you lift

>>39197241
surely if you're struggling and injured he should adjust accordingly

Does low-bar or high-bar build the best quads in the long run?

>>39189479
why start so low? As far as I know you and I are roughly the same in terms of level (im hovering around 67~ and hit a C&J pr of 105 today) and I have a comp in about 2 weeks. My coach will probably have me start around 100 C&J. Was it just fatigue and not enough prep or something else?

>>39200509
i start low because when i start farther over my ass shoots up/i jump back/leave bar way out.
I feel much stronger in this position

yeah my best are 82/105@~66

and it was because i got fucked by a cold really close to the comp and as such only had 1.5 weeks of decent training before the comp.

>>39201081
r u on drugs lol

>>39200411
a highbar squat will work the quads more than a lowbar squat, without a doubt. assuming highbar is done in the standard olympuc style, lowbar in standard raw PL style.

draw your conclusions from that. think about it like this though. who will grow bigger quads? a guy who does some highbar squars every workout, or a guy who does some lowbar squats then a lot of dedicated quad work?

just because you squat lowbar doesnt mean you cant get big quads. so if you want to put up big numbrs in PL comp, and want big quads.. id reccomend a lowbar and extra quad work honestly, or highbar as an assistance move

>>39201491
ye all the time

>>39201081
lol I meant low as in low in your starting weights but your starting pos look good if you were worried

>>39201693
ohhhhhhh fuck im an idiot, and yeah cause i didnt really have a good amt of prep time

I'm trying to do high bar squats, but when I finish my sets, I can feel it a little bit in my biceps. Is this bad? I read that you want none of your arms to support it. I think I might be using my arms because I follow that cue from that alan thrall video where you try to pull the bar apart with your arms and try to keep your upper back as tight as possible.

should I use a thumbless grip?

if you have a coach that's not teaching you proper technique progression leave immediately, trust me i've been there and it's frustrating when he thinks you should be progressing fine with barely any technique work just by following his program. he might be good at programming for athletes with established technique but it's useless for beginners

leave and either learn on your own or find a coach that understands how to teach technique someone like this dude

>mfw I'm never happy with a snatch PB because I always felt like I could've gone heavier

>>39202143

The elbow rotation is a consequence of them internally rotating their shoulders for the overhead position.

If you want to get a feel for that, stand with your feet under your hips, raise your arms to each side, perpendicular to your body. Focusing on your shoulders, rotate your whole arm forward such that the 'inside' of your elbow joint is pointing toward the ground; they don't need to be straight down, just turned in that direction. From there lift your arms upward, maintaining their rotation, until your hands are pointing up toward the sky.

>>39202930
a shoemaker should be able to reatach that for a couple of bucks.

>>39202968

my adipowers have been doing pretty well, still look nearly new

I got them in 2013 (although I only started doing wl with them about a year later, before that I was football player tier power cleans in running shoes)

(except for the good lift, of course.)


last week, someone here told me that my jerk is pretty bad, that i had to finish the drive of the jerk and reach out more with my front foot, i tried to keep that in mind.
every criticism/advice is welcome

>>39206662

Is better. More control on dip, meaning keep legs activated at all times, and maintain this through the transition to extension.

>>39199392
i did gymnastics and light work
>>39200206
you'd think so
when i told him i had lots of pain and warmup was going badly, he said to take 2kg off the working weights
i failed and was in pain at 15kg below the working weights

>>39206229
Just pick a LP program and stick with it. It isn't rocket science. Your squat should go up with 5x5.

Should I buy weight lifting shoes now? I am a newbie doing 5x5. I want to get back into Olympic lifting after I get my back squat to 250lbs (or so) for reps snd once my front squat gets over 200. Will they make squatting easier? I've heard differing opinions.

>>39206134
See as a euro I can say Americans say Adidas wrong but we probably say nike wrong

>>39173009
That's the size retard

>>39208313
yes, there's not some magic number you need to hit to warrant the use of weightlifting shoes

>>39208432
Okay I just thought that I would look like a faggot squatting 170lbs with weightlifting shoes.

>>39208475
You look like a fag squatting that anyway so use the shoes

I waited until an arbitrary number to get lifting shoes and ultimately had to reload anyway to get used to them so start earlier mate

No it's only impressive if you snatch it, snatch dls are not impressive at all no matter how heavy you do it

Hey dudes, I'm on my 3rd week of normal SS with the following lifts:

5x225 squat
5x315 dead
5x185 bench
5x135 ohp
3x165 power clean
8x+45 lbs pull up

I really want to add olympic lifts and training. I currently go MWF. What would be the best way to add those and practice the form? I wanna do snatches and clean and jerk but not sure how to add it to SS.

>>39213971
a coach

>>39214148
Implying I can afford that.

>>39214185
you'd be surprised, look for weightlifting clubs around you not crossfit clubs

it might not always be 1 on 1 but anything is better than teaching yourself

>>39214264
I really can't switch gyms. I'm currently at a nice one with a ground I can drop heavy weights on with usually 0 people when I go and rubber plates.

I watch countless of videos on form and all, I might go to a weightlifting club for a week, but just to learn form.

I'm a solitary creature.

>>39214433
While you can do that--which is largely what I'm doing right now--I had someone working with me when I started to help me out. I'm still learning (we're all always learning), but I generally know what I'm doing now. So I would recommend working with someone to start. Seriously, you don't really have a handle on your body positioning until you've been doing this for a few months at least. So seriously, get a coach, or a training partner who knows what he's doing.

>inb4 Everything
ok

>>39215644
extending fully in the clean.
making contact with your thigh at the point of extension
jerk is very slow

>>39210682
alright, thank you

>>39215644
go to a real weightlifting gym, get a trainer

your clean is atrocious. get a trainer, learn the right technique

>>39215644

>>inb4 everything

nope, you don't get to do that.

you need to start from scratch. work on mobility, work with an empty bar, everything else is secondary.

and you will need a coach please.

>>39197241
you gotta do what boevski did and train under your own program and just put up the numbers when required

or start juicin like adrian

>>39209821
What did u expect using a normal gym bar? That's like driving a normal car through a lake only a military vehicle can tackle and wondering why ur engine flooded

>>39211017
Depends on What you snatch. According to Soviet research if your technique is good you should be snatching around 115-120 with a 160 sn dl.

It's the camera. The camera's on a stand and it shakes the moment the weights hit the platform, causing it to vibrate.

Ah du scho wieder :>. Glückwunsch zur Bestleistung schätz ich mal?
Jerk is better than before,a lot more control and stability.
You shift your weight forward a bit in the dip and fall a bit forward in the jerk.
Your front knee passes the heel in the jerk.
This can be a) a result of you shifting too far forward( which you do) and b) your foot not going far enough fast enough.
For optimal stability your knee should be over or slightly behind your knee.
Practicing speed and positions with slightly less weight was what helped me with this.

>>39208355
They're 45 bucks in the adidas online store right now. It is the price. Retard


So I tried the different things I was told to .
I widened my stance, which I think was good.
I widened my grip, it's now colar to close.
I feel like I do not have to move the bar such a long way(duh) but I also feel like i don't have the same Overhead stability as before.
I tried to retract my shoulderblades which really engaged my lats more.
And majorly I tried to stay over the bar as long as possible.
I felt like I now have to extend more than before and i was missing quite some snatches to the front in the bottom position.
Overall I can see where the changes make sense.
Am I doing something completely wrong or can I continue practicing with these cues.
Help is as always appreciated.
Snatch is from a set of singles at 90%

you pull on your heels u scrub

How is the Wei Rui VX3 Fury for oly lifting?
I bought one two years ago only to skwat and am now getting into them CnJs and snatches and am wondering if this is a good pair for both of those.

Also, can I expect to do decent without a coach? I cannot afford one for quite a bit, but I've been watching form videos/recording myself and comparing it to it a lot. Working on form a million times by cleaning the empty bar over and over again.

I want to start doing Oly lifts to help with my explosiveness and overall strength. Where should I start ?

>>39219346
from the beginning

hehe

>>39219379
Nice meme

>>39217156
it means the vibration traveled through the ground

are you fucking stupid

>>39219201
They are fine

You'll probably never set a world record if you don't have a coach, especially at the beginning, but that's fine

I hate to be a downer but you probably don't even know what you're looking for when your watch your own videos

>>39219346
Get someone to teach you irl

>>39219776
I'll post my next set on youtube I think when I gym today and then post it here for some advice.

>>39217431
you're not correctly tight at the start, your back moves up before the bar moves

you still extend too early and losing tightness in the middle just before you extend that's why your pull looks segmented and not smooth

still pulling around the knees slightly

watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6J8zegauy2I

also start learning proper positions before you try a full snatch again, you dont even have that down


also dont give someone advice when you can barely snatch lmao

>>39210475

Yet it still fucked

medical help is SHIT

>>39216751

Then you're probably gonna have to start boning him.

>>39219907

It is very, very common for one shoulder to rest higher than the other.

You have a mobility issue in your shoulders. Mobilize your rack position.

Creatine is pointless.

You need to eat more.

Your biceps are not the problem, Arnold Schwarzenegger could clean and jerk, your mobility is the problem. Plenty of people have one shoulder sitting higher than the other too. I do. Work on your shoulder, lat, tricep, and wrist mobility

Scapular wall slides, shoulder dislocations, static stretches, aim to work up to pic related

Is it something that can be fixed if its not a spinal issue? I'm gonna post my posture pics

Otherwise any specific pointers for working shoulder flexibility besides mobilizing muh rack?

And yes, everyone needs to eat more always.

>>39220195
Thanks a lot for the specific stretches man. I really appreciate it. And I know its obviously not due to size.

Here is my back. You can tell my right shoulder sits lower than my left.

Another thing, when I do pull ups one of my arms pulls first due to this creating more imbalance. Would improved shoulder flexibility fix this also?

>>39220226
that's because of jerking off

>>39220243
It was like this way before I started jerking off, plus like I said my left shoulder sits higher and my arm is a bit bigger. I jack off with my right hand so that makes literally no sense family.

>>39210475
Ok, thank you :-)

>>39220211
>>39220226
You have bad posture in general, doing lots of yoga and working with a physio can help

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say you're fairly new to lifting, and you've probably never concerned yourself with your mobility before now

Also literally Google how to mobilise your front rack

I would, but there are only 3 weightlifting gyms in my state, and they are all 1+ hour away.
And what's wrong with my mobility? I know my former is shit, but I thought my mobility was good.
And is my former bad like I'm not efficient, or bad like I'm going to snap my shit up?

>>39220287
I'm not really new, I've been doing it on and off for 4 years. I did bouldering for 7 years so did some mobility work for that but it was a while ago.

Can't afford a physio, but I'm willing to sit through stretches and mobility exercises endlessly so I appreciate it.

>>39220299
that's not funny, he needs to work on his communication skills more instead of hurting people because he forgot to tell the guy to not do something

>>39220211
>>39220226

There is nothing visibly abnormal about your shoulder asymmetry. You are trying to assign a cause to your mobility issue. This isn't it. The problem is probably within your shoulder, and also maybe at your elbow.

Hold a barbell in the rack position and have a friend gently raise your elbows.

Stand holding a pvc pipe with clean grip. Mimic your elbow position in the rack, buy with the pipe held off your shoulders , raised til forearms are perpendicular to upper arms. From this position, try and touch your elbows together.

Stretch your bloated biceps, dummy.

and not even mentioning ankle flexibility (front and back), calves, shoulders, wrists, forearms, biceps, tris, etc.

>>39220792
you jelly brah cuz bearmode hair?

>>39220828
OK. Did I show poor mobility in the video that I posted? I posted a video so that I could get semi-specific advice, not generalizations.

>>39220922
you're a fucking fag you know that?

wahhhh guys help me i dont even have the time to research this. i need to be spoonfed everything

>>39220922

work on total body flexibility, from large muscles like glutes all the way to your neck, wrists, and even the tendons in your heels

whatever is not flexible, make it flexible

^this should be your goal.

I agree with this post.

The question should be; can u get in the right positions for wl

If the answer is no then work mobility. For wl. Not something else.

I'm an inflexible peice of shit but why would I work on straddle pike bridge when I could just work on enough thoracic mobility and hip mobile to have a comfy deep bottom pos?

>you need a minimum of flexibility
While I can agree that you don't need to be elastigirl, getting only just flexible enough to get into the right positions isn't enough. You need to have a greater range of motion so that you can get into the correct positions quickly, without any resistance from your body.

Saying someone who is an inflexible beginner should just work on getting their mobility right so they can squat is fine to start with, but there has to be progression from there. Working towards a pancake or doing the splits is a good way to keep progressing your mobility

Someone post blueshoes nudes to imgur

>>39224630
his clean and jerk could probably reach a medal contender level but his snatch won't get to 160+ range unless he works on technique extensively which broz dont believe in that's why pat didnt execute in important comps. which also means he'll never get that total medals maybe some clean and jerk medal at the comps where the big guys dont show up

Start with a stick, or a bar if your feeling froggy. I did SL then threw in olys on off days. Start slow, Rome wasn't built in a day. Do the complex and the full lift. Focus on form. Good luck. Just do it man, you'll feel alive.

Hello friends
Friendship with /fraud/ has ended
Now /owg/ is my best friend
Essentially I went to the gym after watching like four hours of CnJ form videos
Practiced like two hours with empty bar and bar+20
This shit is fucking hard mane, gonna need a coach
How many coaching lessons per week would you guys recommend? Also how long?

>>39225885
I've got a pretty good base, I used to do parkour and shit.

>>39225897
That depends on how serious you want to be. Ideally you'd join a team that meets at least 3x a week if you'd like to be competitive.

>>39225991
Pretty serious, plus ive got all the time in the world.

>>39225999
Yeah, find a team. A lot of the teams in America train at least 5 days a week, idk where you are but I'm sure you can find something.

>>39225897
High frequency is the key, practice every day, maybe don't burn yourself out by lifting heavy every single day tho

You may find your sessions all go for over an hour, there's lots to do

Even if you don't have your coach with you every session still practice, but if you can have more coaching it's better than less coaching

>>39213971
Kinda same here, as ss is a fullbody routine just do cj and snatch instead of power clean and maybe squats as you do too much squats anyway

om yun chol has that weird thing where they shift side to side in the ascent in the clean too, is it common in really short lifters?

>>39235320
It's caused primarily by muscular imbalances, but I bet you're on to something. Maybe shorter lifters (pretty much anything up to 77 if you look at some koreans) are more susceptible to developing imbalances or something

i think it's because they cant be as muscled
