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

Even though I'm getting much stronger, I'm still having trouble with what should be REALLY simple parts of the main lifts and it is holding me back. I think part of the problem is ****ty body awareness, as in, I wasn't aware of the problems until I reviewed the video:

-Back heel doesn't leave the floor on the split of the jerk. That's not good.
-STILL do not extend enough in the clean which is why I tend to catch it too far forward which is why it is harder to stand up with than it should be
-^Same in the snatch, but worse
-Plenty of excess pull power, I don't move fast enough. I wasn't even aware of how high I pulled those cleans (I mean, they were light cleans, I never got a chance to go higher because it was closing time, but still)

I feel like I have the strength to do 110/135 but I still need all that **** to click. I think one of these days its all going to click and then boom.

strong coaching.

"th

"throw" is something i am adding to my list of "too far in front" and "add more the 2nd pull" lol


looked like you were good for more than 102kg on the snatch

my coaching is comprised entirely of oly lifting buzzwords

ugh I know, but the crossfit box we train at was closing in 30 minutes so I had to move on to clean and jerks, otherwise I would have taken multiple attempts at that

What do you guys pay to train there?

Today's workout called for:

30 minutes to establish 1RM snatch
30 minutes to establish 1RM clean and jerk
15 minutes to establish 1RM squat

Matched snatch PR, just missed clean and jerk PR, set new squat PR.

edit: my snatch is pathetic.

You are me to a T. You have the exact same technical issues. Not fast enough under+not extending enough/catching it too far forward.

What is the grip width? Hard to see from the video. Alright then. It's on.

Yeah for me it's index covering the rings. You'd better appreciate this ninja vid because I srsly raged after they told my buddy not to video. I can now understand how very upset some bodybuilders get,especially considering they have 10x my test levels.

Never understood why some gyms got such sandy vaginas about taking vids, it sounds like your gym is even worse than mine. So I appreciate the ninja vid.

They have some gayyy rules about 'no photography', no bags allowed in the gym. Problem is enforcing them isn't 100% serious and considering I was doing it with NOBODY else in the shot it pissed me off. The staff can barely tell people to follow the rules that DO matter like not using the olympic bars on a bench and power rack. One of the 5kg technique bars permanently bent because people were using it to deadlift. I told the staff there TWICE that day and still they just let it happen.

Damn, it would have been awesome if Jon had hit his 166 training PR on the stage. His antics would have been legendary.

EDIT: Damn, that 188 looked easy, but he asked to follow himself with 189. I guess he doesn't need to go higher.

EDIT: Why does he keep revising his request? I've never seen that before.

its a timing thing bro. usually, to give a lifter more time, the coach will make them do it kilo by kilo, so it will stop the clock each time. giving them a little more time. If they get lucky they have to change more than the "change plates"



D'Angelo looking impressive, with the increase in weight class. I bet he can get to Ian Wilson's lifts as a 94.

>tfw need to gain weight :'(

Have you ever been to a meet? If you follow yourself, there is an automatic 1kg increase. If you request a load change, they pause the clock, so it gives you more time if you have to follow yourself.

General rule of thumb when competing is always low ball your opener, that way when they call you for your first attempt you can just bump it up and have more time to warm up and prepare.

Got bored lol

Ever since I just watched 150 kilos floating in midair, I've just assumed that Igor can do ****ing anything. He should be on the streets fighting crime or something.

jb i think you need to change your grip for your jerks. its so far back on your finger tips you practically have to do a skull crusher to lock out, I think thats whats causing all your pressouts

[huntito]

we president now

Thank you Zyzz bird

What do you guys pay to train there?

$150/mo

I would have thought so as well but some guys simply insist on jerking from the very tips of their fingers, like this guy (came in 3rd in this years World Masters in Weightlifting):

can you do it when you back squat?

Bouncing out of the hole is the easiest thing in the world when it comes to just plain squats but I'm having trouble carrying it over to the full lifts.

Also, this:



What. The. ****.

That is amazing and is definitely the heaviest power clean video I've ever seen. Can anyone find a heavier power clean video? I've read that one's best power clean should be close to 90% of their best full clean so the all time superheavyweights should be doing something close to 230kg or so but I haven't seen any videos.
