Do you guys do olympic lifts in commercial gyms? I want to learn

>>41808632
there is a guy in my gym who comes in wearing a unitard, $200 lifting shoes, and does clean and jerks and clean and presses

he indisputably looks better/stronger from an educated perspective than every single other person at the gym, and he is the only one who does these

Yes, from time to time. They do have the Eleiko trainer platforms though, with big crossfit weights. I train quite seldom at this gym nowadays though, mainly at my second gym which is an old school basement gym with weightlifting blocks and so on.

I do assume quite a few people glance and find it annyoing when I jerk etc, but people usually looked while I was powerlifting as well, so...

I do but Ive never seen anyone else do it though, people generally just ignore me. Although I originally learn at a weightlifting club where its far more fun to lift

if there's no real weightlifting coach (crossfit doesn't count), no bumper plates, no lifting platform, you're not supposed to do them.

I will occasionally see some guy do clean & jerk in my commercial gym.

I do cleans and all the deadlifting fags around me give me dirty looks

I'm doing power cleans no problemo

There's a little lifting platform with bumper plates there. It's empty most of the time.

Wish I could do powercleans but my left wrist mobility is absolutely shit.

You need a coach

Most commercial gyms aren't equipped with the platforms or bumper plates. I had to switch to a PL/Oly gym. Ironically, I try not to drop the bar from overhead as it draws a fair bit of attention.

The easiest way is to go to a Crossfit gym. Ask if there's an upcoming weightlifting training session. Try to find a PL gym, find instructors and ask them if they know oly coaches. There may be posters or ads for upcoming training sessions.

I occasionally do cleans and snatches but only as conditioning work. Most I will ever clean is about 80 kilos and I'm sure my form sucks but I don't care an awful lot.

I switched from OHP to the clean and press and saw immediate strength and forearm gains. Can't really do any others since no rubber pl8s like others mentioned.

You can practice a number of these lifts with dumbells first, to get the motion down without looking like you're practicing 80-year-old-asian-lady calisthenics.

Hang (squat) clean master race, reporting in.

On that note, if you work at a weight that's not going to send your discs into orbit, most of the exercises can be performed as the hang variety in a commercial gym with power equipment and a little space. Just don't drop without bumpers, obvi.

Diane is a badass and a great coach
