Calling all OL'ers......:)

[huntito]

yo do you guys open your mouth when snatching?

It's really ****ing weird but i do it everytime. I notice some elite lifters do it some don't, Xiaojun does. It's almost like I can't not do it. Anything that has to do with individual anthropology?

Yeah I do it too for both snatching and c&j lol, much like Suleymanoglu:




I think it's because when we're tightening our core up for the lift, we want to get in as much air as humanly possible in our body. In our minds we thing the bigger the mouth the more air haha

Thanks!

no but i scream. i can open my mouth and it feels like it helps keep your abs tight, probably why some people do it too. screaming a little helps keep my abs also in the same way

Nice, how were you on nerves? I am guessing pretty good since you went for 6/6

Doing my 1st meet next Saturday(the 18th), been doing the oly thing for about 5 months now. Not going to cut to 94 (don't know if I ever will, might just work my way into being a legit 105er), worked up to 108 on snatch today. Gonna open somewhere between 106-108 and probably 135ish on clean and jerk. If I go 6/6, I should hit 260, so that is the goal.

NERVES??? i dont have time to get nervous.

i personally dont believe in cold showers. i feel like a fragile piece of **** after one. i take 3 really hot showers every day and massage my legs with pvc pipe while i sit on the floor of the tub

i feel the same way with squats. i feel like a london silly nanny after/while i do them. thats why i curl the 90's. Trollface.jpeg

are they're any guitar players on this forum. i wanna learn how to play jazz and stuff and i need book recommendations. or links. too lazy to google

[Smolovicus]

I play... really just an intermediate though, haven't taken it seriously for awhile. If you really want to get into jazz, you should find a teacher to grind in the basics of jazz theory. From there, it's literally just experimentation. Probably nothing worse for an aspiring jazz artist to learn from a book tbh.

i play some, but not jazz... i'm mostly bluegrass since i'm originally from the mtns of NC. i'll jump into a little jazz every now and then, but it's mostly BS lol

I used to play so much. similar to your style...a la zakk wylde, classic rock typical pentatonic, SRV/john mayer, but then some harmonic minor malmsteen/a7x soloing ****. Lots of metal/blues, I stopped playing much several years ago, pick up my acoustic every once in a while.

You guys are making me miss it lol. I still have my first acoustic ever, a American Deluxe Strat with vneck maple, a Blues JR tweed amp, and a 100 marshall combo. bunch of BOSS pedals too.

Always wanted to get into jazz, never did. Im sure its simple once you learn the scales, but man do those guys sound like virtuosos when you hear them.

It was originally done to kick in the gag-reflex, which kick-starts endorphins, adrenalin or something. I've tried it and it does work, but not if you use it all the time.

hnggggggg dem blue laces


I made Prs today! 107 clean + jerk, and 162 back squat

after i did c+j i did singles on cleans and cool stuff happened. so my best clean before today was 115, which I did wednesday. before that the best I had done was 110 last friday.
so anyway, I went 117, 120, and then 122.5. 12.5 kilos in a week. feels good man.
heres a vid of the 120. I have the 122.5 if u wanna see but theres a lot of ****gy time, yelling on the way up and throwing it down after the lift which I'm not proud of

[forcefedfreak]

Adidas owns Reebok which is now affiliated with CrossFit which means Nike>>>>>Adidas

I've seen those in person, I saw Lin Qingfeng signing a pair and passing them around the Chinese team to sign them. I was like... HHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Do you know what happened to them after they all signed them?

Adipower run a tad narrow if you ask me, and i believe nikes have a higher heel. But its preference.

Its weird, my right foot fits great in my Adipower, but my left feels small/tight. Anyone else have this issue? Maybe my left foot is big.

[lwild]

No idea. First time I'd seen them so I assumed they were some special edition or something.

What size are the adipowers? And if they fit me... how much would you sell them for?
