How's everybody's training going? I PR'd my clean at 107kgs last week and tied my paused front squat PR at 127kgs yesterday, hoping to solidify my snatch tech with some hangs tomorrow.

>tfw horrible at jerk
pls someone help
>>
>>41325836
do more jerks

don't copy this tech tho
>>
I don't get why everybody thinks split jerking is the most technical part of weightlifting, I can get a pretty decent split jerk instinctually, but I still can't snatch worth a damn.
>>
Any of you lads from Chicago? Looking for a gym on the north side I can lift independent at, know any? Not really looking for a club.
>>
bump
>>
finally snatching and jerking again

did very ez 90kg snatch but didnt go further since shoulder started aching
>>
1. Is it possible to learn oly on your own?
2. Where to begin?

Everett has that shitty book, watch videos on YouTube, read the S T I C K Y
>>
>>41326389
What's wrong with that? He catches it very low, back leg is well bent, front leg has knee behind the heel, arms are locked well, back is strong etc.

But yeah, he's just the best USA lifter atm..
>>
should power cleans murder my shoulders?
>>
>>41328003
No. They feel very comfortable if you do them right.
>>
>>41328012
i wonder what im doing wrong. its when i catch i feel a strain in my joints. could it just be because im weak?

I've met Pyrros once
I sang a christmas carol to him with all my best friends
I was like 11
Best day ever
>>
lol most OWL look DYEL as fuck. hahahaha.
>>
>>41328063
and unproportional as fuck
>>
>>41328018
If you've just begun you're probably doing everything wrong.

Technique problems = pain
Flexibility problems = pain

Keep in mind that there are under 15 years old asian girls power cleaning twice their body weight weight. And no pain at all.

>>41328072
Shoo shoo mirror lifters! How bad is your self-esteem? "Muh body" matters nothing in sports
>>
>>41327885
The tech works for him definitely, but most people don't have his proportions, mobility, or strength. You won't see many world class lifters with that inclined of a torso, CJ being the exception.
>>
>>41327885
probably not the most advantageous angle for most beginners
>>

>not developing calves
>not devloping strong arms
>not develping shooulders.
>only developing thighs and back.

what good is this? you look like a turkey and would be able to defend yourself in a real fight. let alone look god. your muscels are only good for one motion
>>
>>41328239
>wouldn't be able to defend yourself in a fight
What a niggerly reason for lifting.
>>
>>41328271
thats pretty much the main reason for lifting your beta. to be big intimidating and effective if you ever have to rely on your body for some kind of labor, emegency situation, or fight.
the intimidation is a good defensive aspect too.
literaly we devloped muscles for these reasons you dumb fuck. enjoy being a turkey.
>>
>>41328239
Wtf are you talking about
Post me one olympic lifter (who has won medals) that looks like a turkey

I think your view of a powerful, athletic body is fucked. I also think that you suck at sports, but its good that you have your guns right.. hehe

>not developing calves
Google triple extension.
>not devloping strong arms
You can't hold a big jerk with jelly arms.
>not develping shooulders.
Oly lifters have pretty strong shoulders due to all jerks, push presses, presses and eccentric work (lowering the bar down)
>only developing thighs and back
You forgot one thing. We train for a sport. Only developing thighs and back doesn't make you better at this. If your core is weak and you break under a heavy snatch, you need core work. If your upper body strength holds your lifts down, you work upper body.

>let alone look god
Look good or look like a god? Sucks that you have bad genetics and fucked up face. Mirror muscles won't cure that or your low self-esteem
>>
>>41328341
Being fast and having some actual skills is more effective. We don't see many body builders in martial arts / sports
>>
why is snatching so hard?
>>
>>41326419
sn>jerk>clean for sure
>>
>>41328341
>effective if you ever have to rely on your body for some kind of labor, emegency situation or fight
2/3 of those don't include a fight.

Tell me mr nigger, how many fights did you get into after you started lifting?
>>
>>41329884
he's obviously baiting
lifting doesn't help you fight
>>
Is it better to stay midfoot for front squatting or midfoot but slightly towards balls of feet?

I have the weight near the balls of my feet kinda, pushing my toe into the ground, I think Max Aita mentioned it in a video.
>>
>>41329864
if it were easy everyone would do it
>>
>>41326419
>I don't get why everybody thinks split jerking is the most technical part of weightlifting

That's because no one actually believes this you dumb nigger. Snatch is UNIVERSALLY agreed on by actual coaches, lifters and fans as the most techincally demanding lift.
>>
>>41329864

It's a complex movement pattern that needs focus and concentration along with mobility that most people don't have out of the gate.
>>
>>41329937
I know he is. I just wanted to see him backpedal into say "n-no fights, but t-that's because I'm b-big".
>>
>>41328082
i believe my technique is correct, im doing everything as per rippletit's instructions, however i know for a fact i have terrible flexibility so it could be that, ill keep working on my stretches and see how it goes
>>
>>41330065

>Rippetoe powerclean
>Correct technique

No. Fuck off.

If Power Clean is a deadlift with jump and catch, sure.

But the Power Clean is just a partial squat clean and when you clean the bar you DO use your arms to pull the bar higher. The degenerate piece of shit DYEL cunt who made that picture, and Mark Rippetoe, are not good sources to learn the olympic lifts. Pulling your torso back along with pulling the bar after it makes contact with the hips is vital to generating enough power at the heavier weights, and my coach (who is from bulgaria, was on the national team for ten years, did drugs and was basically ELITE) teaches it this way too. I used to power clean just like Rippetoe says, and I've compared myself from then and now and I can lift bigger weights (gained 20 kilos on my PC in four months) and I'm no longer jumping and pulling straight up. I'm learning to use more "power" when power cleaning.
