Forum: Olympic Lifting

Hi everyone, I've got a pretty big issue of GM'ing my squats, no matter what style I try to do. Currently I am trying to do Olympic atg style squats, due to a recurring shoulder/nerve issue I have when I do low bar squats (have tried multiple things to remedy this, but it affects any pressing...

I know the chances of someone from here having these shoes are slim, but I'll ask anyway. They are from a Czech company called Goodlift.I would probably buy the other models, but they don't have my size. 60EUROS (bout $80) Heel height 1.25"....

RxuT0Z1hj1I from what i see and tried to fix after. - bring feet in at start position - start bar closer to shins and pull my torso more upright i catch the bar like that sometimes on the first rep i know its not right and looks horrible anyone know why that is? im hoping to hit a pr...

Lately ive not been squating close to my max. Im 16 and my max squat is 260lbs but lately the highest ive got is 250lbs occasionaly and 240 lbs consistantly. What can i do to get my squat back up? Im trying to hit 300 lbs on my squat next year for football. Please post your advice. By the way i...

I was just wondering if anyone new of the world record in just the Hang Clean or Power Clean? I would think it would be somewhere in the neighborhood of 500 lbs. In college, I Hang Cleaned 365x1 at 230 lbs which I think it pretty solid but I know that is probably warm-up weight for some...

Does it actually slow it down the jerk? I don't know why it would but, this is what I've heard from so many people. Anyone successfully get their jerk to catch up to their clean by strict pressing?

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum, and this seemed to be the best place to ask this question; I apologize in advance if I'm in the wrong area. I have been doing Stronglifts 5x5 now for almost 12 weeks, and i have been very pleased with the results (estimated 10 lbs muscle gain and 2 lbs...

Hi guys Should you do both regular clean and snatch pulls and the high pull variation ? I'm working a lot of my pulls at the moment to really get that explosive shrug down

jSeHA4ysmOQ I cant sit between my feet, my ass is stuck behind. So, to keep the bar above my feet, I must lean forward. To get my ass between my feet, I have to use a wide stance. If I use a wide stance...I cant squat deep. If I use shoulder width stance, I can squat deeper, but my ass is...

I ended up with an extra pair of rogue do wins size 10.5 black after i got a second pair as a gift. They have been used less than 5 times and i thought someone might want them. I am not looking for money ill even pay for shipping. Let me know you if your interested. Just trying to do...

Without getting crushed? Some times if i try to be faster than the bar i just drop straight to the bottom and the bar ends up landing on my clavicles and knocks the air outta me making the recovery for the clean hard and the jerk even harder. Any imput? Esp from Raffiki. thanks!

Who do you think rank among the strongest? I'm being vague I realize, so use whatever your interpretation of strong is. Pic's and videos would be good

Notice: This is already on Pendlay forum so some of you may see it there too. This is my second squat work this week as I did 80% six sets of two Monday, but this first time I ever saw myself squat was today and there is a definite butt wink. The video at the bottom is me doing 80% my max...

don't have enough cash to get adipowers at the moment, but I could get some used dress shoes from an older sibling. anyone use dress shoes for oly lifting before and if so how did they fair? Thanks.

How does this make sense? The long torso, to me, is in immense disadvantage. Longer torso = much more load on the spine = balance issue, minimal hamstring recruitment. I've always used the stick analogy: Take a long stick, hold it on each hand and then try to break it. Longer the stick, the...

If anyone is in the Vancouver, BC area this weekend, Christine Girard will be putting on a seminar. She will go over both technical lifts as well as warms ups, programs, comps etc. This is for lifters at any level. Christine has over 17 years of experience as a lifter and uses that to be a great...

I took some video of a few lifts from this past Saturday. The lifts felt pretty good -- any comments/critiques are appreciated! Snatch DL + Snatch at 82kg ZYmmtnUWhKs Clean + Power Jerk + Jerk at 93kg (this was my last warm up set before working at 100kg. I didn't actually get any of those...

ordered the tommy konos, and they were alright but the neoprene felt super uncomfortable and gave me a bit of a rash need something cloth or like a really loose pl-er style knee wrap that doesnt hinder mobility, opinions?

309 with a better view and 315 with a crappy angle r_UdpI1DG_s any thing I can improve on?
