    Yeah it's hard to say where the line between a snatch pull and a snatch deadlift runs.

    My best clean is 145kg but my best deadlift is 250kg, i.e my clean is behind yours but deadlift way ahead....

    My pulling strength is just ridiculously ahead of my squat and Olympic strength. Today hit a snatch pull of 150% of my best snatch for a double (though judge for yourself if it was enough of a pull...

    Right before a competition is probably not the time to start experimenting with new things. There you need to do what you're comfortable doing and just nail that.

    If you want to be strong you got to train everything. There are quite a few videos of Chinese lifters doing rows and dips.

    I train upper body in unison with my Olympic lifts (though always after,...

    Not my first but the last time I competed was over 2 years ago. I do not have a coach and it's not that serious of a competition- just a club one not any sort of regional or national thing. I'm not...

    The weigh in is at noon with the competition to begin at 1:15 PM though as I'm in the heaviest...

    Putting squats first: good idea?

    So my strength has stalled for a while, haven't hit a PR in the squat for 5 months (and even then it was a long hard grind to add 5kg to my PR). Although my snatch technique needs a lot of work, at...
  • For what size individuals are supplement recommended daily intakes written?

    I'm an active weightlifter and as such take by fair share of food supplements.

    On multivitamins/BCAA's and whatnot it usually gives a recommended daily intake on the packaging but what I was...

    Should I focus on strength more?

    I train for Olympic weightlifting, though not at a competitive level of any sort.

    Currently the way my workout is set up is that I always start off with an Olympic lift(s) and then move on to...

    Same situation here and I also find that squatting with a relatively narrow stance works best for me. Anything wider is quite uncomfortable for my hips.

    Yeah, I find that the constant heavy squatting and pulling (albeit with lighter weights) of Olympic weightlifting really do help the deadlift. My max was about 200kg when I started doing more heavy...

    Snatch grip deadlift to back squat ratio

    I was wondering what is everybody's snatch grip deadlift to back squat ratio? Are you squatting more or snatch grip pulling more? As these lifts involve many of the same muscles, I believe that its a...

  • Russian squat program: how do you warm up for the working sets?

    I’m sure that there are quite a few people here who have done the Russian squat program or at least have general knowledge of it.

    The spotter's arms (his dad btw) are indeed on him but it doesn't seem like he's exerting that much effort. Plus when you've got 320kg on your back, the effect is probably more psychological than...

    I don't agree with this tip. Thats how powerlifters squat and thats fair enough but for most average people that will feel like a very unnatural movement.
  • Mart Seim squats 320kg for 10 reps, high bar Olympic style, raw and ATG

    Thought I'd share this, makes all my efforts seem so inadequate in the gym.

    This guy is an Estonian Olympic weightlifter, took bronze in the Clean and Jerk at the 2014 European championships.
