[trailless]

I did/am.

Any videos you can supply, so we can see where you might be losing it? Important to push under, and not slide back, and move very quick; in PJ

cot dayum olympic lifting needs to make a comeback.

not that i can do a proper snatch to save my life.

16 y/o smashed youth nats qualifying total a couple weeks ago. Pretty sure he is in. He just wrecked a 97kg clean and jerk yesterday so we will get another opportunity to post an even higher total. He is capable of a 72kg snatch as well he just needs to work on his strength off the floor and actually hook gripping. He whines that it hurts his hands too much. pussy

I can't really get any videos because I'm training at a big box gym right now... no bumpers and crap bars. But I'll hopefully get some new videos up before the years end when I move to atlanta.

On my split jerks I, as I get near my max, I start losing the weight to right. The only way to really stop this is for me to intentionally split really wide. It feels unnatural to me.

I feel like if I were to work on power jerks I can easily pass my max on split jerks. I can easily power jerk 100kg without much fuss, while my max split jerk is 120kg and that was really pushing it.

Thanks for the tips.

curious as to how you handle his back squat and front squat training. Do you have him on a simple 5x5 for this or something more tailored?

[Hurrrr]

Liao Hui (men's 69kg) breaks snatch and total world record- 166kg SN (WR) and 193kg CJ (could've done more imo) for 359kg total WR. ****ing beast mode!!!

I've been half-assing the training lately between gunning for a promotion/little man/new gf. I probably wouldn't have even been there.

On a different note they talked me into trying a timed clean ladder (185 - 205 - 225 - 255 - 275) for as many reps as possible in two minutes. I got 13 and than almost blacked out; couldn't breath and all I could taste was blood. Crazy Crossfitters.

hey everyone. I'm looking to start training the Oly lifts and am scanning around the web for a good gym to check out in my area. It seems like all there is are cross fit gyms. Are Olympic lifting gyms uncommon these days or something? I live in Chicago suburbs I'd think there would be lots of options here but I'm not shelling out $700 a month or whatever cross fit gyms are.

Anyone in the Naperville/Aurora area and have a good suggestion?

Check out usa weightlifting and look up LWC's in your area. I wouldn't completely discredit Crossfit's either because a lot of good coaches have moved to crossfit facilities. The previous model of having a pure Olympic weightlifting gym is kind of dying out somewhat, so they're moving to crossfit gyms. The good news is that many crossfit gyms have a separate membership for those that want to just to barbell work, powerlifting or Olympic lifting without having to join the regular crossfit workouts.

Yeah I definitely would not be opposed to lifting at a cross fit gym I just know how expensive they are. The fact that they may have separate memberships would be amazing and I didn't think or realize that. That would be fantastic.

Thanks for response

what happened to breaking the junior national record?

[strengthsthetic]

what happened to breaking the junior national record?

just had my surgery about a week ago. Expect comeback next year lol

[ftwrestler]

still creeping my number back up there after going at it for about 6 weeks so far

recent comeback PR's include
406lb BS up from 350 at the start of the 6 weeks
108kg snatch
125 CnJ

i did just (almost) triple 120 on CnJ missing the last jerk, so i think i might need to max it soon.

Sup brahs, I am new to olympic lifting and I need some help. I was watching this video of klokov explaining how to snacth:





I can get the bar upto the position shown above but the problem is getting under it. I was doing it wrong the whole time by hitting the bar with my hips and sort of curving it up and then getting it down.
What should I be doing to fix this because its going to need alot of practice.

[olyw8lifter]

Elbows need to be higher. Notice Klokov's elbows go UP, not back. This will cause you problems trying to get under the bar.

That isnt me in the pic. I am following it the way klokov is teaching but my question is the next step of going under the bar? Sliding the legs, turning the elbow and going below.
