http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kj3-j-VAQnA First snatch workout, in any form of the snatch in maybe 2 month :) so i was very pleased! With straps.

Hey guys this is my first post. Just wondering a few things and perhaps you could help me out. Well I'm just wondering where does bodybuilding fit into a weightlifting program? Now some of you might say that a weightlifting program is complete but I think that there can weaknesses which...

I've just started learning cleans, and I think I'm doing pretty well. I had a few questions that I havnt been able to answer for myself. First, hand and foot position. The way I've learned to place my feet is by jumping. Jump, and whatever width my feet land at is where I should be putting them...

Just wondering whether its just me that is experiencing this or if there are others: I've been weight training for some time now but it wasn't until I got more serious about my Olympic lifts that I started getting problems with skin cracking on my left index and somewhat less on the middle...

26nICfQiLeM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26nICfQiLeM Thanks OLY guys! :D The most I've ever powercleaned was 225 back in may, but that was with REALLY ****ty form, trying to start over and get my form good :D

So I'm a sprinter, and I have some experience snatching, well over my bodyweight, but well, it was never pretty and was at the very best a power snatch. I started adding overhead squats to my routine to try and get more comfortable with the deapth, and generally get my technique in order, today I...

Fu2QuP6LKiU The audio is lagging so I didn't scream coming down. I never post in the Oly section but I do enjoy front squats. This is a 30 lbs PR and would like any advice on how I could improve.

Hey guys, here's a vid of me C&Jing about 87.5. Any comments or criticisms are most welcome and appreciated! Edit: can't post links apparently, but if anybody is willing to do the work i'd still appreciate any advice youtube dot com/watch?v=RtBcBZOTSRU&feature=channel_video_title

I'm not trying to make a troll thread by any means. I have just started training in Oly lifts with a friend a couple weeks ago. He has better form in the clean and press b/c he has prior experience and I'm totaly new to it. Same with the snatch. He is also taller and weighs alot more. So far I can...

Im just curious as to what would be considered a competitive lift in university? Something that would place me: 1st in most meets? top 10 in State? 1st in state? I hope to be doing near 400 C/J by the end of the highschool year

NmVUPk2OW14 Edward Baker Front Squats 175 kg X 2, Juan Sepulveda Back Squats 140 kg X 2, Jason Bourgeois Snatches 142 kg and Clean & Jerks 160 kg, Travis Cooper Snatches 145 kg and Clean & Jerks 185 kg

I've never even heard of this one. Looks like a serious pre-training inspiration! http://www.takanoathletics.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=87&Itemid=40

...in a word... humbling warmed up doing power snatch with just the barbell. After 2 warmup sets did 4x5x65. Watched some videos again when I got home, see things that I need to work on with my form. Snatch pulls- again, warmed up for 2 sets with the bar, then-

I forgot how good these videos were when I searched to see them again. Expect many bar paths and frame by frames in this here thread.

Ok, so I just went trough the USAW level one course, not so I could coach others yet, so I could figure out some cues to help myself. I learned that really, I had no snatch technique, just brute force, and a few errors in my clean Anyway, the instructor said that many new lifters are inefficient...

What do you guys prefer? Does the toe strap help a lot? Would be nice if you've worn both. Deciding between the adipowers or romaleo 1s or even just sticking with my kanamas which are pretty much like the adipowers. Also any experiences with the bigger middleish strap of the last...

I am thinking of buying an olympic bar with some weight for working out instead of a gym membership, will not having isolation be detrimental to my gaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiinz??????

I recently ordered a Pendlay NEXGEN needle bearing bar. Well they decided to wait until I received the order and called them to tell me the bar is unavailable. So now I am in the market for a 15kg needle bearing bar and I wanted some recommendations. i found this...

I'm currently nursing a lower back injury. I was diagnosed with spondylolysis in high school. I recovered and lifted throughout college with no issues. Now a year later, it is back, no pun intended. I was doing a ton of volume with the LSUS Program this fall and I think the volume slowly messed...

Other than Broz, are there any other facilities that I could train at while in Vegas, near the main strip? Preferably not a Crossfit either, only just because they tend to have odd drop in hours.

I'm looking to be stronger/more explosive and get better at Oly lifts. Don't care about size. MONDAY Snatch 3x5 Front Squat 5x5 Barbell Bench 5x5 Weighted Dips 3x8 Weighted Pullups 3x8 Core Work (Leg raises/ab rollout)

1st post, but long time prowler of the site :D So I've been training for powerlifting the last 2 years, competed twice (both raw; I'm 20 btw), and although I do enjoy the sport particularly the training aspect, I really have no interest in getting into, and competing in gear down the track. So...
