Tears make the best lube.

If things are being done correctly, lube should not be necessary.

Oh my, up the hershey highway dry.

Was hoping for a PR snatch tonight, but I couldn't hit more than 165lbs. Going to limit my pr attempts and perform triples in the clean and snatch from now on. Can't properly rack for a jerk or push press so that will have to improve as mobility gets better. I did hit 325x5 ATG without a belt on Saturday so that's a beltless pr, weighed in at 147.

i ****ing wished i weighed that much

16fat....i mean 5 this morning

i have lost a few lbs already though

My bad, I didn't realize you were talking about the ******* version. Can't weigh in on that, carry on with whatever it is you do.

On a different note, 105% attempts on the lifts later on; it's gonna be a good day.

physique achieveable natty? ^ he doesn't even train for aesthetics and he looks like that..
brb bodybuilders switching to weightlifting for optimal aesthetics

[forcefedfreak]

This morning was fun. Snatch pulled 130(3x2) and back squatted 150x7. The pulls weren't as hard as I thought they'd be. With that said...they were hard.

[strengthsthetic]

on this website where they say pull on the drop down menu, do they mean clean style deadlift or high/low clean pull or what?

it's funny how much higher my other lifts should be when I put in my power clean of 90.. brb snatch 18kg more, CJ 110 and bs 142. ffs, just gotta keep squatting

[CuriousGM]

I would like to share this bit of fail with you fine folks. So I'm a power jerker but exhaustion with a side of derp led to this spectacular failure.

look good, your foot just slipped.

[CuriousGM]

Well the biggest thing there was it wasn't supposed to be a split jerk. Other then that it broke down all over; didn't fix foot positioning, didn't fix hand positioning, over dipped. If you look real closely you'll also see my foot didn't slip, it barely left the platform and just slide back. Plus the bar was in front overhead.

you crashed the bar something fierce

i made the ooo face


also

that feel when you put 10% of your months reps on one day..........i will know this feel soon

[CuriousGM]

I've actually reigned that in a lot, it used to be a bunch crunching 5 - 6 inch drop.

Lol based on my powerclean I should CJ 140. I know a guy who can powerclean 170ish and it says he should do 207 CJ lmao.

Strong back strength to catch the bar crashing like that. Also, I didn't notice in your old av that you are black lol.

Looked good except for the back foot. You do the same derpy thing I do, which is to turn it out. Also, strong having exactly the same compression shorts and knee sleeves as me.

Coach had me do some complexes today. I did:

power snatch x3+BTN snatch grip push press x3+overhead squat x3 with 70 kg

So that's 3 power snatches, then lower the bar to the BTN position then 3 push presses, then three overhead squats.

Followed by: Power clean x3+front squat x3+power jerk x3 with 90 kg

And by the end of each kind of complex I was so ****ing out of breath, worst cardio ever jesus my endurance blows whale dick.

the solution to all your problems at any point in weightlifting involving the jerk is......


squat jerk

squat jerk

More like that's what every noob who has seen a vid of Lu Xiaojun wants to do. I almost burst in laughter when this guy told me he wanted to try it meanwhile he couldn't do a proper deadlift let alone a clean.

Yeah, there's absolutely no way I could ever squat jerk. My mobility is questionable as it is when I have a snatch grip overhead, if I try to squat down with a jerk grip I'm getting about 6 inches deep then dumping the bar.

Squat jerking is good for those who can do it, but I'd say that's a small minority of weightlifters.

oh so you're one of THOSE people

[schabowy90]

Mehhh

Squat jerkin has no room for error + a need for insane leg strength.
I have the mobility for it but its so easy to lose forward.

if you can clean it, you can squat it.

also todays workout was so bad i just am going to forget it with something less painful.....remembering my tennessee titans season

[Robination]

lu is the reason i know they exist

how come i can't get myself to lean forward/have that arc in my back:



i'm always a bit more upright and i can't lean forward as much, feels a bit like lack of shoulder flexibility

Split jerk is the more athletic of the two. And the more consistent

Squat/power jerk seem to benefit those who are strong in the squat and have certain body proportions.

You guys think I should stop doing the lifts while I deal with this shoulder impingement or maybe just go light for awhile? Everything I read online says not to do anything that irritates it, but idk if I can stand to take that much time off...
