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

I read on Broz's FB page they went down there to visit Mendes' family and tour the country.

I'll be suprized if he is lifting in the olympics in 2016. I don't see Brazil earning more than one spot and he would need at least a 390 total to edge out Reis.

Brazil automatically gets slots, they are hosting the olympics (see the Great Britain in 2012)

[ftwrestler]

Did 200kg front squat and 90kg muscle snatch today, yay. Just ahve to do 90kg in a real snatch now ^^


vacation?

mirin muscle snatch. i hit a 70kg the other day. that is a fun exercise, i use it mainly for warm ups, it really helps me with drawing a straight bar path

Beat 4 new PBs today, albeit some of them just about. I'm feeling very happy about this! Small reps all around!

Oh right forgot about that.

[WHT_LIGHTNING]

Oh right forgot about that.

yeah, easy to overlook.

The only Brazilian lifter I have ever heard of is Reis, so I think Pat might have a damn good chance

As already mentioned, Brazil will get slots, and if his current numbers are any indication, he'll be very competitive as a 105 - would not be surprised to see a 390+ total within 3 years.

~3k, current bw is ~63kg

Didn't realize he was of Brazilian descent. Let the juicing begin again!

Let the boy get some gh in him and snatch WR in training.


In other news every time I end up working in a gym my lifting goes to shiit. Not sure if I messed up my wrist but cleaning with non spinning bars and metal plates sure is tough.

I hope the fact that the Oly forum is always dead means that you guys actually have a life and aren't boring

you ever take an epsom salt bath? I hardly ever have DOMs if I take one. I don't train the O-Lifts anymore (other than pow pow pow power cleans) but epsom salt baths are amazing.

they never did much for me. And this news of no o-lifts saddens me

my favorite recovery technique is static stretching. nothing like it. tried and true. i will hold stretches for 5-10 min at a time at night. good ****

I'll have to try holding them for that long. I stretch but only hold them for like a minute at a time.

Why not?

I basically stopped all training for a while, lol. I started boxing and whatnot so I barely lifted at all for like 6 months. Weight dropped way down as well. About a month ago I got the urge to train hard again, but got the urge to get back intro strongman (plus I was better strongman than weightlifting, lmao). Gonna try to stay around the 200lb class though. I think the time off really helped me though, I feel great. Maybe I will get back into the full lifts later though, try to be the American Lightweight version of Misha (much ****tier version, lol).

gl on your sport endevours

also the reason i hold them that long (after i am done with activity for the day only) is because research indicates a minimum of 5 min on a certain position to incite a structural change in your tendons and muscle belly. longer = permanent change in flexibility

[gmanfootballguy]

Haha depends on how helpful you are, and yah I just turned 17, Already got some scholarship offers for college

[Greco-Roman]

I never train with knee sleeves; personal preference.
But I often sleep with them on, or walk around my house with them on. Makes my knees feel really good actually.

You could do limber 11 everyday, with some timed static stretches right after, for me heres what i do for recovery

1. warm up with hot shower
2. foam roll/ soft tissue work
3. limber 11
4. static stretch
5. soft tissue on upper
6. stretch upper
7 ice bath

after this i am never really sore anymore

6'7 290, lol. **** you're huge. Word to the wise; being tall is awesome for everything except weightlifting. Still fun, though.

[ftwrestler]

pidgeon pose, couch stretch, lying hamstring stretch any variation of it. anything i think needs work really, but i try to concentrate on shoulders and hips

Im on that short femur length grind so squatting comes very naturally but yes got long arms and tall so a long ways for the bar to go!

[gmanfootballguy]

Also, had anybody heard anything about donny shankle? he was one of my favorite lifters, anybody know where he went to?

[mchase126]

Damn you being so tall and yet having short femurs!

FT - what do you do for your rotator cuffs? That seems to be my problem area. Both tightness and inflammation.
