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

[olyw8lifter]

On the bar talk, I lift on a ZKC bar, very worth the money if you can get one. I heard someone in the States is carrying them , but not sure who. I also like the DHS bar and Pendlay bearing bar. I would prefer the DHS over Pendlay only because you get center knurling. I've also been hearing good things from a new bearing bar on the market, Vulcan (or Vulkan) that makes a solid bearing Olympic bar.

quality for what?

you can't be in this thread unless you don't lift

My back derped a little on the catch.

I'm trying to internally rotate my rear foot on the split, but is it really that important?

I have done something that somewhat resembles a clean&jerk with 275 lb and humped the shít out of 215 lb snatch.

YES! You're obviously strong enough to handle the weights youre using right now, but the stability proper footwork gives you is essential to hitting heavy ass jerks. unless you're ian wilson

Thanks. I'm going for a single with 275lb tomorrow, so if there is any instability, then it should become very apparent.

Heaviest double I've attempted on c&j since "coming back". 124, felt pretty good, especially since a 132 single a few weeks ago was rough.

**** Valentine's Day. Here's a 160 kg front squat from tonight's training.

Your clean looks so much better these days -- not ripping it off the floor nearly as much. First jerk was smoked, 2nd you came forward a little bit in the dip but that's to be expected. Good **** bro.

How are the AdiPower? I was gonna get some. But was also looking at Romaleos.


Do you have a coach? Your form is good. I need a coach.

Jealous of your gym. Where do you lift?

My pair is great. It's a perfect fit for my feet.

I do not have a coach. I took a half semester weightlifting class at my university last semester and actually, it's how I got into weightlifting.

I lift at my uni gym.

Lol yeah, got rid of my in person coach and I'm improving in technique. Starting with hips lower and staying over longer. Landing on my heels and catching a bounce. Love it.

Thanks brah

Wow your university has a weightlifting class? Who was the professor cause he seems like he knows what he is doing.

I have been self coaching myself for 6 months now and can't lift no where nearly as much as you can. How did you coach yourself?

lol why did you lower your jerk before dropping it to the ground. I dunno why but that bothered me :S

[brahskimoseph]

ask a guy who can barely clean his own bodyweight anything

[ftwrestler]

90
95
105x (missed it behind because it was so light it flew right up there and caught me off guard looked crisp until i missed it)

115x
116
121 (skwat jerk!)

happy with this meet because i was all sorts of injured coming in

[Kimhwan92]

lol there are few supervisors who wouldn't allow us to drop the weight from overhead position, but rather in a "controlled fashion," where we lower the bar down to front rack, then drop the weight.

That's funny. Anyone know if that would be redlighted in competition?

[Greco-Roman]

nice snatches, looked solid even though the one missed behind.




any squat-jerk advice ftw? I have a habit of missing jerks from not being able to stand like that, despite being totally in control in bottom. I'm thinking just practice Clean-Grip OHS more?

[schabowy90]

yo fellow power jerkers, im deserting you. sorry. ANyone have any experience with 13mm belts for the classic lifts? The ones that are still tapered down from top to back to front.


also, about fukcing time.

brb 116XXXX 112
brb 122XX 122 124X

nice man. quick snatches.

[Lamborg]

Sometimes I'll sit there and admire me a good nice and clean snatch...am I the only one?

thanks. I was beating myself up the whole way home for missing 105. it was too easy

widening the grip helped and doing a lot of btn work helped me get the final bar position down. how do you miss them?

[Silver-Wolfe]

Need me some AdiPower.

like that; I think it's a strength issue. (very last CJ)
