weightlifting is a discipline of the summer olympics and therefore more of a sport than soccer

prove me wrong

>>41555433
oly lifts at home sounds scary anyway. You'd be better off finding a gym if you actually wanna try it.

powerlifters:
>pudgy 300kg fat fucks wrapped up from head to toe doing their lazy big 3, with least amount of possible ROM for it to be accepted as a clean lift.

weighlifters:
>actual athletes
>aesthetic
>train speed, explosiveness, strength

learn the difference, it could save your life.

vid related, its armenian cardio

Any idea on how to learn snatch?
I learned clean and jerk alone and Im progressing pretty well on c&j but snatch is something I always thought you needed a coach for because its so technical and so easy to injure yourself with.
Is it possible to learn it alone?

If you're decent with clean+jerk. It's the same basic movement with a few caveats.

any tips to improve my clean?

>>41556817
Try not to send your feet out so far to the sides. Use less weight if you have to for now. Other than that just thousands of reps of practice

>tfw no polish weightlifting qt...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yqm5itDXauc

>>41556817
there's almost no dorsal flexion in your clean. Try catching it with a far more vertical back angle. feet in closer, knees farther forward. I'd practice doing snatch grip squats (with a grip like you'd do for overheadpress) to help you figure out how to get that far more vertical back angle.

>>41556817
Its long and in German, but has English subtitles. Its a real coach with 30 years experience training, and very valuable for anyone doing cleans. If you are asking on /fit/, you dont have access to a trainer, so watch this.
Excellent videos on squat mobility, deadlift mobility and the squat as well. Some anon linked it here the other day. In case you're reading this, thanks a lot

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2lqG4aU3mQ

>>41556817
Practice front squats. The catch in the clean is the bottom of a front squat. Not a sumo squat

Also the bar looks like it hits mid thigh. Aim for a few inches higher

>>41556415
Why have a belt with 115 lbs...

>>41557233

Because it's 205 lbs.

>>41557233
>>41557246

You're both wrong.

The bar is 15 kilos. (33lbs)

Loaded with two 25 kilo plates and two 10 kilo plates for a total of 70 kilos (154lbs)

Collars are 5 kilos (11lbs)

Smaller red plates are also 5 kilos (11lbs) and the smaller yellow plates are 3 kilos (6lbs)

For a total of 98 kilos or 216 lbs.

I want to incorporate power clean into my lifting program for explosiveness (rugbyfag)
But i dont know how to do it nor do i know how to learn the form.

Is there some sort of website that can show me how to program olympic lifts? Learn the form?

Ive been told programming power cleans are different than deadlifts in which you cant do high rep low % power cleans to make gains

What's a good routine that you would recommend for oly lifting?

>>41557955
YouTube, look for the Cal Strength videos on learning the Clean. Glenn Pendlay narrates and some of his trainees demonstrate.

>>41558180
Catalyst Athletics have many on their site. Dan John has some beginner programs. Practical Programming 3rd Edition has a couple of programs which are aimed at weightlifting in the intermediate section of the book. Greg Everett and Wil Fleming and Bob Takano all have books with beginner and intermediate programs. Also the LSUS program is on the web at wlforums dot com.

>>41557606
are those fake weights? current WR is 264, with 266 all time

>>41556997
In turn, thank you again for reposting it. I'm also learning to clean, and this is very useful.

>>41558424
Majority of the sites you recommend have their athlete doing 95+% cleans,cleans n jerk three times a week.

I have speed drills/jumps/bench press and lots and lots of cardio training to take into account.

When i said i want to incorporate power cleans i didnt say i want to become an full olympic weightlifter

>>41558578
I was addressing two different posters. Or at least, I thought I was. Only the first part of the response was about learning the power clean. The second part was about a guy asking specifically for a routine for weightlifting.

Basically after you learn to clean with the bar, do the recommendation of your strength program, which is typically something like 5 sets of 3 reps (Starting Strength), at the same weight across. So 5x3 with the bar. Next session, add weight for the 5x3 and incorporate some warmups as needed. so when you get to 5x3x95 you might do 3xbar, 3x65, 3x85 as warmups.

IS PRIVATE RETARD

It fucking sucks. There aren't any Oly gyms near me and none of the gyms here even have deadlifting platforms. Is it autistic to just do Oly weightlifting in the middle of the gym? I want to get started but I'm not sure if that's appropraite or not.

>>41559463
oh shit
fixed

>>41559325
start over the bar more, the bar should be over the balls of your feet at the start then you cover it with your shoulders. u got long legs and short torso look up yurik vardanian's start position

bar was looping right off the start because of start position and because u dont no wtf u doing, fix the start position then bring the bar inwards to your hips once it leaves the floor

also when you receive the bar dont just plop down to the bottom and relax, you should be actively resisting the bar down to the bottom, not relaxing like a retarded

you can see pyrros clearly demonstrating sweeping the bar in and staying over the bar for as long as possible and not thinking about "position 1" which is where you scoop your knees under the bar once it's over the knees which usaw used to teach

After nationals here (norway) we had a huge party where everyone got drunk and had a great time. I'm sure someone hooked up.

I'm still pretty new and didn't know a lot of people. I felt like everyone already knew eachother so it was hard to make friends. Next time I'll try and hook up with someone for sure. I mean it's perfect:

>A lot of athletes that do the same and dedicate a lot of time to the same - same interests.
>Everyone is attractive, even some of the SHWs.
>Away from home for the weekend and we each have hotel rooms, basically no consequences by hooking up with someone you'll see every day
>If that doesn't work, can always head to the city with my bros and pick up some local girls and bring them back to said hotel room since I'm only in town for 24 hours.

Next year....

>>41568579

I'm a weightlifter but I don't come to /fit/ a lot anymore because I've learned what I need to know and now most of the threads on this site is clearly started by people who have been lifting for two weeks at most. And if I wonder something about weightlifting, I'll ask my coach who was on the national team, before going on the internet.

Must be a bitch to get the weight back up

>>41569985

Because after a max set of squats its easier to just drop the barbell than racking it.

>>41569997
But racking it is easier than getting it up to the rack. Unless, of course, it's the last working set of squats, then whatever.

It's so they don't have to alternately pull off plates from each side (if you don't alternately pull of plates then the bar will tip one way). It takes too long if to pull of plates that way so they just drop it if it's their last set.

>>41570098
only at 140 and above

>>41556817
You're landing out in front with the clean, focus on bringing the bar upwards in the pull, not outwards.

>>41557955
Just go onto youtube, there's a bunch of guides from various coaches. Cal Strength, Juggernaut Training, and others are the recommended ones for a WL style clean, ignore Rippetoe.

>>41570159
I generally don't like leaving more than 2plate difference on each side. I'm pretty sure anything over 2.5plate will tip the bar over.

>>41556817
You need to be faster under the bar. One thing is that you are not upright and not dorsiflexing on catch; you need pull yourself horizontally into the bar and catch (this results in an upright back and a proper clean position). Normally this is why beginners are taught to pull their legs up and explosively slam on the platform to emphasize forward pulling. In general in all parts of the pull the bar can be closer to your body. Receiving with your legs too far apart decreases your efficacy in the squat portion so catch in the natural squat position as well as you can.

Coming back from an illness that has robbed me of a lot of My strength and mobility.

I'm also switching from powerlifting over to weightlifting as it's more applicable to the type of strength I need for my work.

Whilst working on getting back my mobility and technical skills, am I right to follow a standard beginner program(something like what's recommended on the op) but substitute slightly easier movements into it? A clean without the catch instead of a power clean? Just so I can work on increasing strength whilst also working with baby weights until I can get back into a decent rack posirion.


Gonna have to take things very slowly.

lmao nice rom, manlet

>>41575230
nah it's best to get started asap. bench wont help you too much anyway. find a coach/club

>>41575230
your routine should be lot of squats (3x a week), diddy 2x a week (max once and volume the other time) and lot of back work (rows, etc).

Chest is barely used in Olympic lifting, that's why you'll see a lot of athletes not having huge chests. Plus, not having a huge chest is a way of shaving off a few kg to fit into a weigh in before a competition.

>>41575504
oh shit, and of course lot of strict presses

>>41575230
Olympic lifting is highly technical, you can start technique work with an empty bar at any time. Requisite strength isn't necessary to learn technique. Ideally, try and get a coach to help you learn proper technique, and start eating a lot more.

>>41575504
>squats (3x a week)
Eh, at least.

>diddly 2x a week
No, unless you mean clean pulls one day and snatch pulls the other. No reason for any olympic lifter to do conventional deads.

No training today, but yesterday we did a max out (not sure why) for muscle squat snatch with no hookgrip and no feet. Ended up hitting 78kg and that's 2kg over my max snatch. Hopefully when we do max out in the next month or so I'll finally snatch 90

Do you program for yourself?

>>41576741
Some cleans, mostly jerks from rack, jerk dips.
A few sets of arm and chest BBing stuff if I feel like I have extra energy at the end.

>>41578953
Yes, unfortunately.

What are some good exercises to help keep the bar path on the third pull of the clean straight? I have a some idea of what I should do to fix it but I need names of exercises to search up demonstrations on form.
