    Yeah, 140 is my usual weight, compete at 62kg/136.4

    Diet is not meticulous, but essentially just low carb. I could offer more specifics if desired, but I don't count calories or things like that.

    Of course. Again, I'm not too meticulous, so my specifics may not be that descriptive though.

    I essentially eat until I'm full, don't restrict the quantity, only the quality.
    Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, [main meals], with anything in-between if desired.
    Fruits are not restricted, nor are vegetables, even if it results in more carbs. I have cheeses, and all kinds of meats/fish. Nuts are fine too.
    I don't have any bread/gluten/grain products/sugar/sweets. Drink almost exclusively water.
    Milk seemed to give me stomach problems, although I'm not lactose in-tolerant, but I don't have any milk.

    That what I have been doing at least. I find I don't feel bloated ever, and am able to function well with a rel. low bf%.

    Do you have a video of this? I am having trouble picturing it.



    My jerk has improved a lot with constant practice, my main problem, according to Takano, is that my back heel turns out. You'll see it in the video from today, it causes a lot of problems. It means I can't effectively compensate by bending my back knee, and my back heel will get forced into the ground on heavier jerks, you will see this in the video as well. I was a lot happier with the technique on the 102 than the 107.

    The biggest problem there looks to be you don't "snap" into place; aka, you're not moving fast enough. But also you barely drop your hips, your leg just goes straight back. Have you tried power jerks as an alternative?

    you basically power cleaned it and did a front squat lol

    you are stronger than you pull. and you are pressing out your jerks instead of pushing your self underneath it let you body go almost limp till it slams into place and stay tight (that is how i picture it)

    ffs don't try going for PRs when you have the flu... My strength was so **** today. TFW only get to max out once a month and I had to be sick this time. Everything felt heavy. Hit a 105 snatch (no pressout this time), but then missed 108 about 7 times. Tried cleaning 127 for a PR but missed that 8 times lol.

    btw how does everyone feel about jump&shrug vs "catapult"? I always thought catapult made more sense in my mind, but lately I have been consciously trying to eliminate arm pulling and I am finishing my snatches on my upperthigh and not making hip contact but the weight is going up easier so that was interesting. Also, I am in Edmonton this weekend and lifted at a gym with a pretty reknowned canadian coach and all the tips he gave me were of the jump& shrug camp. I am starting to think jump and shrug makes more sense.

    I think it's a combination of not letting your back knee drop, and what GM said - you are pushing the bar up and that will never be fast enough. Instead, think about just locking your elbows up as forcefully as possible rather than pushing the bar overhead. The dip and drive will propel the bar up high enough, you should not have to press on it to push it overhead, you should just consciously think of locking your elbows out as hard as you can. This in conjunction with your back knee dropping down as low as it needs to should snap you under the bar way faster. I think you should do a lot of warm ups or backoff sets with lighter weight, focusing on lockout speed.

    I wanted to get your guys opinion on what kind of straps to use for snatches.

    Up until now I've been using this style of straps:



    They are good straps, that hole for the strap really makes it easy to lock myself in tight however that might not necessarily be as desirable when it comes to snatching where it might be better to have something thats easier to bail out of, specifically something like this:



    So what would you guys say, is the second type of straps better for snatches than the first or is there not much difference?
    Strength + Speed = Power

    If you never fail, you aren't truly pushing yourself to the limit. If you never push yourself to the limit, how do you know what you're truly capable of?

    I've used every strap under the sun, and my faves are the Risto. At first I hated them, but the leather is so soft you barely feel it on your wrists, and because leather is stronger than other materials they are a lot thinner than other straps, so they don't get all bulky when you wrap them around the bar. For a guy like me that's important because I don't have very big hands so it makes it easier to get a good bite. Plus they are really long, which makes it easier to put them on the bar.

    I had a pair of Werksan blue straps.

    They ripped in about a month or two doing snatch pulls. I did use them a few times on a deadlift bar, which has sharper knurling than an eleiko, so it may have chewed them up a bit faster than normal.

    However!, I e-mailed Werksan that they ripped, and they shipped me (only took 2 days) a new pair for free, so their service was excellent. I would definitely recommend them, the pair they shipped me has held up just fine.

    btw how does everyone feel about jump&shrug vs "catapult"? I always thought catapult made more sense in my mind, but lately I have been consciously trying to eliminate arm pulling and I am finishing my snatches on my upperthigh and not making hip contact but the weight is going up easier so that was interesting. Also, I am in Edmonton this weekend and lifted at a gym with a pretty reknowned canadian coach and all the tips he gave me were of the jump& shrug camp. I am starting to think jump and shrug makes more sense.
    I tell people at the gym that if they just want to power clean some weight for sports or for fun if they can actually jump and shrug hard they should be able to put up some pretty big weight. Problem is even jump and shrug isn't done correctly. Becomes more like deadlift and row.

    I use the short and sweets from Ironmind. They're great for everything and they're open ended which makes them super easy to bail out of. However if you're the type of person (like me) who likes to drop your snatches after doubles/triples, then resetting gets annoying. I ended up taping the ends of my straps to make it quicker to reset after I drop the bar.

    tbh I want long, open ended straps like Klokovs:


    anyone know where I can find them???



    And where the **** can a guy get Adistars in 10.5!? Can any olybrahs help me locate a pair used?? Someone's training parter/friend/client must be wanting to get rid of theirs.

    I'm no abadjiev but they're probably useless for you. You need to stop sandbagging your lifts and lift heavy.

    I use these Chikarasport straps


    in black
    http://www.chikarasport.com/shop.html

    They aren't cotton they are that sliperry plastic nylon-y material, so they have pretty low friction once you let go and they release from the bar as if they were never there at all.

    So I'm on thin ice with my uni gym... they have a platform and bumper plates but guess what I can't drop the weights.

    So I was looking for a lifting gym around Knoxville but non... so I looked into cross fit gyms, do any of you guys lift in a cross fit gym? How much do you pay?

    I'm going to call up a couple places tomorrow but i was just curious.
    Squat: 135 lbs
    Bench: 225 lbs
    Deadlift: 185 lbs

    Stop quoting my stats. I know what I'm doing if I can deadlift 1.5 plates.
