Forum: Olympic Lifting

Don't know if this site is well known here or not, but thought I'd post it. http://www.chidlovski.net/liftup/default.asp

I tend to split my legs apart instead of dropping my hips down when getting underneath the bar on a power clean, i dont have a video of myself executing the poor technique but here is a video of someone else using similair form exept my legs split further apart ...

I was just wondering what you guys think about the kso 5 finger shoes. I was debating between those or the 2010 pendlay series. Ty in advance.

Hello, any of you have any vids of the clean and jerk from side view? tnx!

Finally hit 315 from the floor... been a long long time goal of mine. My form has been suffering lately though and I can't figure out why! I have been trying to incorporate the second knee bend into the transition from my 1st and 2nd pull, but it has been throwing off my lift big time. Tell me what...

I'm sure we've all seen that epic video of the bulgarians training with that shirt. I know cracky already saw this. I couldn't find the shirt, so I went on a custom shirt website and just made it. By far my favourite shirt. Next one is gonna me 'Skim milk is for ***ots.' aF_HH6wqvIk Go...

size 13 preferably not costing an arm and a leg any recommendations? thanks.

Hey guys, I posted a video a while back of a 130 snatch. I hit a 140 snatch, and a 170 clean/jerk the last couple days- I am looking for any constructive feedback you guys have. I am assuming I might hear some of the same stuff as the first video (although I think I was slightly faster under...

I've been training seriously since June of this year, after I learned the rudiments. I've managed to get a 51kg snatch and a 65kg jerk and a 91kg front and back squat. I realize that one of my problems is that I need to keep adding more weight to the bar on those squats. Anyway, I'm starting to...

hello iv been currently doing SS to build a good base strength and im progressing nicly thru and im wondering as a 15 year old boy do you believe that olyimpic style lifting would be more benifitcal in general for sports (more specifically mma/pyshical contact sports) a good firend of mine does...

I know this may sound odd, but does one has to end the clean with the bar on the shoulders, or can you also end with the bar in your hands sort of above your chest? Like at the end of a reverse curl or like here (similar, not resting on your shoulders or chest, hands only):...

anyone else heard of doing this? thinking about trying it....I got a lot of recovery time, and any food I want. max is around low 3' beltless what weight should I start at? while your at it anyone have a good routine just to get strong legs and work oly lifts/squats a lot.....

Ive recently been hitting the lifting hard, especially the last 6 weeks or so. Ive gained a lot all round in strength and in techique somewhat. My question is, i have stalled in most of my lifts this past week, and generally feeling tired a lot, even with 9 hours sleep a night and a days rest......

I've got a couple of questions. First, and I apologize sincerely in advance for lack of video, is an issue with my clean. Whenever I start doing attempts at 95%+ of my max (around 90kg) something happens at the bottom position and my left leg sort of buckles. About half the time my knee will...

My student gym finally got bumpers and proper bars today. I was ecstatic, so I go ahead and begin snatching then work up to clean and jerking. These are proper bumper plates, not competition plates, but bumpers nonetheless. I was jerking the weights then dropping them, as per usual. I thought this...

Title explains it all, what rep scheme do you use.

Got myself another pair.. Ironworks III. only difference - the strap is on the middle portion. Ironworks II has the strap all the way at the top. Shoes are too white but ill get used to them. My IWII are still flawless from almost 3 years of squats. Now i have a spare. my squats...

ok this idea came to me from a dream i **** you not (i think it's a great idea btw.) so, the idea was this, currently 5'5, 59-60 kg give or take on any given day. I was thinking of bumping weight class to 77 kg next year, but heres the catch! i was hoping that instead of just staying 77 kg id still...

Tell me what you think jUxYSCdXfts the biggest thing I've had trouble with in this movement is the pause between the 1st and 2nd pull, and for the life of me I can't figure out how to smoothly fix this! Any help and advice is appreciated. Thanks guys and reps for critique.
