Forum: Olympic Lifting

Does anyone have any old adidas oly lifting shoes they are looking to sell size 11-12 preferably the models discontinued?? Beacuse I've been searching and I really want some bad.

What's up brahs? Yes, I'm still alive and I'm sill lifting; thought I'd ask for a form check and see if I've made any progress in that area: 7eFkKtkGyCs Let me know what you guys think I can work on; I think I'm going rather slowly here and I feel my upper back and glutes could fire alot...

1st off i know videos are the best but i have no videos, i lift alone no partner and no camcorder. i been lifting a while, good form in powerlifting for the big 3, have started to try to do oly lifting starting off with power cleans and hang cleans, teaching myself, reading stuff online and...

Did a numerous amount of power cleaning back in the day, but now I recently got into clean and jerk, and paying closer attention to detail. Any tips? Fairly new to it, and love it so far =) The back leg is the first one to initiate contact, and the concept is more of trying to get under the...

Scheduled to do squats since coach wasn't coming in today and decided to do some snatches as warm up and try and work on technique a bit. I did 43 and 44 afterwards but didn't record it. mmIZ07gwm2g These are the best I could get on vid, the 44kg went way better according to the other guy...

If you do, any tips? I find them incredibly hard, but I have serious shoulder flexibility issues and my snatch lockout is weak.

too low? We can make it higher. I am sure fraver is already close, or already has it, lol. I think you should have to clean it or front squat it first if you take it out of a rack, but we can decide that. Here is a sinclair calc http://www.qwa.org/Liftstats/calculate.asp I hit a...

someone just posted this on ******** and i thought i'd pass it on to you blokes (and girls...) http://www.3news.co.nz/Lifting-for-a-mate/tabid/367/articleID/257523/Default.aspx sorry got problems with the imbed, but it is definiately worth the watch.

QIvlASEQhww Title says it all.

I want to get some advice on buying weightlifting shoes. What I want to know is: 1) As I will be buying these online (so no trying them on in the store, I am not aware of one anywhere near where I live), I want to know what size I should get for the best fit. Should it be the exact same as...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFuTaweoNwU&feature=youtube_gdata_player Hey guys, havent posted here in a while but thought id share this video i put togethet of my high school days lol.

How do you guys prefer taper for competition? Do you have a particular method? Just curious to see how other people do it!

ive been having trouble with my cleans im stuck at 225 for powerclean and that serousily what i can front squat for ten reps i dont understand i thought if squats and deads went up so did oly lifts ? 15 years oldd Football player will be a softmore in fall

Legs were pretty tired as this was near the end of my workout, so the overhead squat was kinda ugly. Comments would be appreciated. Thanks HwA5G98eKZY

I caught a comment on one of their new weightlifting videos that several memebers of the Cal Strength team were moving to SC to form the new MDUSA team. The muscledriver usa site does say Glenn is going to be coaching there very soon, under their "team" page. I found somewhere where Glenn, Jon (and...

As a full trimix and cave diver I know there are benefits to using pure O2 for a work out. I would like to hear everyone's thoughts on this topic. I'll reserve my thoughts for a little bit.

Russian national championships concluded yesterday. Results: http://iwrp.net/component/cwyniki/?view=contest&id_zawody=442 Big totals in 94kg and 105+. Reps appreciated.

hey there. I started olympic lifting at the end of march/beginning of may because I'm trying to improve my speed and explosiveness for football, although now I'm just hooked on the lifts. I don't have access to a coach or a gym dedicated to the lifts (feelsbadman) so I'm basically teaching...

I would like some input on my training routine, I train for Olympic weightlifting and now trying out the discus throw as well. It goes like this: Day 1: Main lifts: 1. (Power) cleans: 3x3 + 1-2x2 with increasing weights (start at 50% of max and then add 10kg every set except for 5 kg on...

click on it for video Today was my first time ever trying this lift so be honest. Any painfully obvious faults in my form? How can I get the bar to follow a more vertical path? All advice is welcome as I'm trying to learn some of the basic oly lifts to improve myself as an athlete.

Hi again, I sorted out my jerk tonight which was good. First real snatching session as well...using the hook grip. Video: youtube.com/watch?v=ARcJxuQlPRo **It was about 28 degrees hence no top Things I can see wrong: -Back angle - not pulling with my back enough
