cutting weight is not fun. I'm moving to 69kg after A.O.

wat?

[Robination]

wat?

oh no competition for you

[Greco-Roman]

Idk, might do better. Most important is if my back squat would go up with it though. We can be 69kg buddies.

lulz on just my c+j though! right now I still bang the bar way too much in the snatch and I can't get any sort of consistency with my technique. c+j all I have to do is get my f squat stronger

Lower than high bar but higher than low bar, some call it medium bar, others call it a semi bar, Nohomo of course

In jb's defense I did squat before workouts 3x a week over the summer and put 12kgs onto my b squat. BUT the biggest thing for me was I saw 0 transfer over to my olympic liftz.

Anyone have any advice for cutting the 2nd Pull short? Someone I worked out with yesterday noticed this in my Snatch.

High hang snatches, snatch pulls

[DaTruth1]

Pulls from blocks can helpful mentally, you can just focus 100% on the pull.

TFW when you total 200...with 95/105. I mean, OK yes, I squatted before the snatch and took 3 snatch attempts at 97 so I had no gas in the tank for the C+J but still, ****, it wasn't even the jerk. Too tired to clean 110. Clark city. Jumpingoutwindow.gif.

Last time I maxed out in training I hit 112.5/115...

Usually around 140-143lb. I would obviously try to increase that if I were to be 69kg. I think I would like to be like, 148-150, and then not even have to cut to compete. But it would require additional weight to be almost entirely muscle, and to have very large strength gains associated.

It's just an idea at this moment, I'll see what happens after A.O.

Much obliged, gentlemen. I have been watching my videos after he mentioned that and I am clearly so concerned with getting under the bar that I don't quite extend as hard as I would like to (giggity).

I am not poor. Maybe I should get better socks. Having an open wound (left shin) is very distracting.

In jb's defense I did squat before workouts 3x a week over the summer and put 12kgs onto my b squat. BUT the biggest thing for me was I saw 0 transfer over to my olympic liftz.

Some days I just do Olympic lifts. Some days I squat first and then do classic lifts. But I don't actually do any better in the classic lifts by doing them first. On the flip side, if I try to O-lift first and then squat, I will just die in the squat.

[ftwrestler]

what was that snatch^

[jb4476]

what was that snatch^

Only 87. I got badly decked in the snatch because I chose to C+J first on the grounds that my C+J was so terrible the last time. I actually had to go get new socks because they told me I couldn't keep smearing blood all over the bar, which is completely reasonable.

Also, I am starting Smolov for back squats on Monday. When you ran Smolov for FS, did you BS at all?

Hmmm. What did you do when you finished. It's only 3 weeks. Did you just chain another Smolov cycle on?

can anybody else here snatch 104ish/230 this ugly and completely on their toes? lol

DAFUQ

not sure how I saved that, but what do you guys recommend to fix this issue (although it didn't happen on any of the sets working up, so maybe it is just a 1 time deal. Although I used to have a habit of landing on toes). Snatch balances? More high hang work?

[strengthsthetic]

what is the maximum amount of days in a row that you guys take off lifting?

e.g. if injuries start having an effect and stuff

Maybe just too far forward? Try staying back in your heels a little more. No feet drills or toes off the edge of a board or something like that.

Could be the fact that your feet don't move? You get up on your toes and stay on them throughout the movement, so you land on your toes.



When his feet leave the floor completely, they come back down flat.

So you need like...the opposite of a no-hook no-feet drill? Excellent at getting under the bar but needs to move their feet more? Not sure what that would be. Probably just hang work idk.
