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

[Keefinator02]

When you guys were learning the C&J and Snatch did you do most from a hang to start or the complete movement from the floor?

I would start from the floor if you have the mobility and do a lot of paused lifts at different spots during the lifts.

I started from the top though and worked down to the floor.

ty guys, the clean comes pretty natural even coming from more of a PLing background because I did front squat consistently, but the snatch is a whole other monster.

Good ****. You'll get the snatch man, the snatch feels like the easier movement for me right now.

kinda what I was thinking thanks.

one more for you guys, being a taller lifter (yeah not conducive lol) I find it easier to catch with a wider stance. Any real drawback with that? Not crazy wide but outside shoulder width by a bit. Stick with what works or dry to drill in technique with a narrower foot position on the catch?

As long as you can get under the bar and go as deep as possible nothings wrong with that in my opinion. Post a video.

Will do, I'm doing them today so I'll try and get one.

[matjusm]

I'm having some trouble with my squats (both front and back) where my back caves in and hips rise first. I was wondering what might be the best remedies for this? I was thinking of really upping the core work, doing some lower back raises after every workout?

Squats with slow descents and pauses at the bottom, and core work.

In other news, my lifting is coming along pretty week. Snatched 97kg off high blocks and cleaned 111kg off high blocks at a BW of 74. I also did a pause snatch + hang snatch complex with 88 and a clean + clean + 2 jerk complex with 97. Getting ready for a meet in slightly less than 3 weeks.

Here's two different lifts, both at 115lbs. Sorry for the lack of focus in the first. One at reg speed one in slow mo (lift starts @ 40sec). Only been doing this movement for a week, so its brand new to me.


reg speed


slow mo

[ftwrestler]

finally have something to show you guys for the Nats qualifying meet i had in NC

check out 17:28

good **** both you and cheifkeefinatior

Been to the Yard House? I thought Dutch's had an awesome beer selection until I wandered into that place one night, my god.

that and marty's hops and vines, and there is another one right off campus but i cannot remember it. i never go there but htey have good beer. too many hipsters for me. I was at CSC today where were you bruh?


also i hang cleaned to 290lbs (10lb PR) today fellas, but i missed the jerk, off by just a little. I am going to spend some time on the jerk blocks next week. vid coming soon

[ftwrestler]

[schabowy90]

^^ is that 300? You need some jerk triples off the blocks bro. Or 5s even.

90x5 snatch last week. 95x5 snatch today. 100x5 next week.

it says 290 in the title you potato, i do plan on it. I am banishing myself to the blocks every wednesday till i get more consistent. And lots of rack triples inbetween

still pretty happy with the hang clean tho

edit: i have been battling some mild tendinitis but that is no excuse for that piss poor jerk in the vid

[Kimhwan92]

A sloppy PR.

Working; I don't show up until around 5:00 - 5:30.

[OC23]

Taped thumbs for 1 session, not tight, ever since then whenever I sleep or when I am close to waking up it feels like my thumbs and parts of my other fingers are numb. Been happening for 5 ish days now. Have been using hookgrip for years but been full on olympic lifting this year so I don't know if that plays a factor. It has never happened before. The only thing I can think of I did differently was taping my thumbs but again, they weren't taped tightly, just tight/loose enough to wrap 1 layer around my thumb.

Pls halp

Possibly irritated median nerve? Most likely from wrist extention if so.

So... What do? lol. I don't want to live with some retarded condition where my thumbs go numb when I sleep, but at the same time there is no way I am taking a break from lifting especially since it's the summer.

well, i am no expert, but i'd say try not to hyperextend your wrists when you catch the bar on snatch and cnj, and take some nasid to control inflammation.

this wrist and hand sequence helped me quite a lot

[jagboy]

A sloppy PR.

both looked light m8

Strong clean. dont know how people jerk like this. my arms and shoulders would end up in snap city. I barely power jerk like 115 maybe. squat jerk like 100. push press like 80. feels bad mane, overhead abilities of peace.


On a good note, down from like 86.X to 83.x i think. And pr'd on clean today x2. Road to 77. 4 or so more kilos to go.

I will watch the video but I don't know how it will help me get rid of the thumb numbness. I've read around online, it has happened to other people but I can't seem to find a solution. wtf.

It's like the dumbest thing you could take a rest day from. "Hey why didn't you lift yesterday?" "My thumbs were numb"

i have been told to stop jerking like that 1000x over, but my ankles are trash and i dont think i have the stability to do a split anyway. power is just way too natural for me.

I am being a jewcci little nugget at 175ish. i am hovering there and leaning out.

[Kimhwan92]

Clean double PR today. Did total of six sets of clean double with this weight.


This was the last (5th, 6th clean double) 2+1 set.
