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

[forcefedfreak]

guys I'm right footed, should I be splitting with my left foot forward?

Jerks have been looking like dog**** lately and I've noticed everyone else goes left foot forward, so was thinking of switching. Experimented with it today

Most right handed people go left foot forward, but it's all personal preference of which feels more comfortable.

[schabowy90]

realized the last few volume cycles I haven't been eating enough carbs...
wtf have I been doing with myself. no wonder Im not making the gains ive wanted

swapped fat out for some carbs, feeling so much more energized in the gym.

Hurt my shoulder, this is the second week im out but I expect to be good come sunday/Monday for overhead.

also, narrowed my grip about an inch or two, making a hell of a difference. now its about 1.5-2 inches from knurl beginning, as opposed to 3ish+. Easier rack, easier pull etc.

I think because I kick with my right foot in soccer it was more natural to go right foot forward.. but I'm thinking now it makes sense I would be more stable left foot forward

Edit:
Also, I know I barely post and mainly lurk, but where the fuk is Huntito. Has anyone seen him post in a while?
pls respond

he's suffering from a case of too much real life he's been really caught up with school and work and chit, i think he's gonna slowly start getting back into lifting at home though. but he doesn't post on here or the misc anymore

I thought I was the only one lmao its like every day with that ****

Today was the first day I lurked in months and I caught this lmao.

Been super swamped since late last year, I'm graduating this semester and starting grad school in the fall. Most of my time is spent in class, then work, then the research lab, then gf. By the time I'm home it's usually 11pm and time for bed lol. Whenever my schedule is free though I have the poverty gym all set up, so I'll usually mess around with lighter triples and doubles and high volume squat/pull work.

I'll be back on the grind once my schedule frees up for sure. In the meantime, mandatory gym porn pic:



20kg Pendlay HD bar
140kg set of MAVRIK bumpers (thank you Craigslist gods)
20kg x 2, 10kg x 2 APOLLO bumpers
15kg x 2 G2 bumpers
Colored Pendlay change plate set

Got everything super cheap, probably spent a little over 1k over about 6 months, including the squat stands and rubber mats. ty zyzz bird

I think it would be the opposite I kicked with my right foot in soccer too, jerk with left foot forward.

Think of it as if you road a skateboard or went snowboarding.

Have some one push you from behind your natural foot will come forward.

Awesome find!!! I love my Mavrik plates, most indestructible plates on the planet, IMHO!!!

Yeah I just started longboarding and I'm most comfortable left foot forward really

For used plates you gotta haggle brah! Money talks bull**** walks

[OlyBrah]

How long do you guys rest in between a single rep of a PR attempt? Watched some video on the Russian's training, and it mentioned 3 minute rests between each rep. Kinda sounded a bit long, unsure if 3 minutes is too long considering I don't think I'll be lifting the same weights as those peeps.

So how long do you brahs rest between PR attempts?

I just wait until I feel ready, most of the time its around 2 minutes sometimes I'll way 3-5 minutes


What are you guys currently using for a weightlifting belt for your squats?

I've been using a standard leather type PL belt but lately I feel like it's negatively effecting my ability to squat deep (really digs into my ribs/stomach and restricts bottom position)
Currently I'm thinking about two options:
1. Don't use a belt at all
or
2. Find one of those russian styled ones that are tapered a lot... anyone know where to get one of those?

nobody wants to haggle in cinci, you get called a socialist. conservative state is conservative

Good news. Found a place that does Olympic lifting/training that's local. It's only open for an hour and a bit 3 days a week, but those days just happen to fall on the days I was doing my Oly lifts anyway.

Plus, it's cheaper than the gyms that are local to my area. I'm all smiles at the moment.

was front squatting this morning, had 305 on the bar. Completed the rep and went to rack it. Got it on the left side but missed the right side and with the momentum and the awkwardness had to let it drop. Bar fell, weights fell off and then the other side fell... loud noises and the whole gym stared at me

Solid morning

[wisdommaster1]

Here's a 190# snatch from today. Can someone confirm what my analyzing thoughts. When I'm in the high hang position my left food is on it's toe, should be on the heels at that point? Also let me know if you guys see anything else

My thoughts:
hips up way too fast
too far over the bar (which is product of your hips and arse up too fast)
weight looks to be on your toes most of the movement
elbows too pointy
eyes too far apart

[schabowy90]

^^^hips to far up yes, dunno about too much on toes though, looks somewhat balanced. Not a terrible lift, just some tweaks needed

Upper body used too early. Stay over bar a little longer.

sooon......

that is a casual 100kg boys. Ky better watch itself, i am coming at them.

Where do you lift and what do they charge you? I'm currently going up to Cornerstone CF in West Chester because they let me lift for free, but I end up skipping a lot of days because I can't stand the traffic.

thanks, my hips rising up has been on ongoing issue which is actually getting better overtime, mainly as a result from my tinkering with my start position.

[Greco-Roman]

I agree with the above sentiments, hips shoot up. Try to even start with them higher, so you're in the same position everytime.



yay deadlifts.

[schabowy90]

thanks, my hips rising up has been on ongoing issue which is actually getting better overtime, mainly as a result from my tinkering with my start position.

You need to do some slow pulls and slow eccentrics. Thing 5 count tempo. To dial in the position. Trying to go fast is fine but after working sets do some slow deads OR do some pauses at liftoff, knee, mid thigh. Do this for two weeks
