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

The middle of you back looks to round just a bit, stay on your heels through the pull and keep your back tight(er)

I know right?

anyone else do this during a pull? The open mouth?

i think id be much cooler in a snapshot to have a stoic look during a pull. closed mouth and such.

yeah, everytime my back feels nice and tight but when I look at the recording it doesnt look so arched. I might do light deficit deads as assistances while keeping the arch and keeping the glutes active as well as work on flexibility

every time at least on snatch. idk know why, maybe because of watching videos of people doing it lol

Even if you weren't to get any stronger on any of your lifts. When you turn 20, you'd be so far ahead of someone the same age that's just starting.

Technique and just getting the motion to become second nature. Doing by not doing. A true athlete doesn't think about it, they know the motion so well that it comes naturally.

Thanks, that's good to know.

Luckily I live in MN, where you can compete as a HS student, or younger, in both snatch and clean&jerk.

[feces99]

just realize that yes, in fact, there is some chest involvement in the lifts. be shirtless, simulate a pull, sweepin the bar in at all, look at ur chest, **** bricks

[stevezor]

any of you LA/SoCal brahs up for teaching a noob? or have me tag along on your training sessions? hit 300lbs on FS today, so now that I have an okay base, I really want to hit the lifts hard. I'd be willing to buy delicious post workout meals in exchange.

so... why do it

[DaTruth1]

Yea I agree, sweep + internally rotated starting position gets the pecs involved a bit eh

[DaTruth1]

so... why do it

My old form was already limiting me... I was compensating for my weak ass legs and I knew I couldn't snatch like that forever, but I waited til after my meet to make any changes to technique.

Random question (mostly directed to ftwrestler since he likes doubles) also only partially srs.

You're attempting a PR double in the clean. You make the first clean easily. On the second clean, you make a slight mistake and your hand slips off the bar. So you ditch it. You take a deep breath, pull again, and succeed this time. Also, your clean sets are always preceded by a pull (it helps to ingrain the habit of proper pulling).

So you do this:

Clean Pull
Successful Clean
Failed Clean
Succesful Clean

You may think of this as the world's ****tiest inadvertent clean complex.

Does this count as a double PR?

[DaTruth1]

imo no
