Hello, This isn't my first occurrence of knee pain. I'm a veteran of 3 knee surveys, after the previous injuries I felt a "pop" in each of them and pretty well knew something wasn't right. Yesterday after a successful squat session and C&J section where everything went great. No pain,...

wut do you think about it? ohs before BS or FS as warm up

2BtAH6Smtl4 I think this was with significantly better technique than my previous 95kg too oJPl1YRxM5s I think I still need much more work on pulling under the bar faster and also I seem to be jumping forwards very slightly. Other than that I think now I am mainly just limited by my...

Hey everyone, Recently just started looking into purchasing a pair of weightlifting shoes, I have done a bit of research into the matter and have narrowed things down to the Adipowers and Romaleos 2. Does anyone have any experience with either of the particular shoes? I live in Canada so I'd be...

What is your warm up routine with an empty barbell? Or what are some good technique complexes you might do? Empty barbell. Squats, couple pauses in the hole, good mornings. BTN press, OHS, sots press. Snatch balance. Snatch positions, power position, "scare crow", turn over/muscle...

Hello, I'm interested in competing in an Olympic weightlifting event this coming April. I want to start a new program to learn and master the Olympic lifts. I've been lifting pretty consecutively for 2 years so I do have strength in the compound lifts. I'd be better off gaining weight to...

Just curious to see that if core work is still necessary in an OLY routine. While Squatting x4 a week along with performing the lifts over and over, should I still include some isolated core work? If so, what kind of core work do y'all do?

OsC4i_0DvbY What could I do to improve my stability during the catch? I was very wobbly today, i feel like it was related to my foot placement. I also felt the best during my second set, and I cannot figure out why. Any advice would be appreciated. If you want to check out my other videos, here's...

Figured I would throw up my training sessions throughout my 5 week cycle I am currently on, didn't record the first two sessions but i will have #3+ every one. I have only been performing the snatch for 2 weeks so still learning the form but I hit a 185lb snatch in my third workout

in the same way quarter squats are? always feels pain after doing power variations

I heard OL have high vertical jump due to explosiveness in exercises So was wondering.. How high is your vj? Do you do pylometrics If someone who never done any jump training could check it out for me that would be cool.

I've been cleaning for quite a while now and can still only manage to clean my bodyweight. One thing I have noticed is that, while jumping, I don't seem to lean back as far as I should. I feel kind of scared about leaning far back when I jump up - I feel like I'd lose my balance. Do you think the...

Self taught. No bumpers in this gym. Lifting starts like 0:15 I think, can't trim from mobile. Third rep felt the best. This was my tenth set of triples bEu3ImkwoSw

To anyone here who has Adipowers I'm about to order some but really want to get the sizing right. If anyone uses Adipowers and Converses could you please give me some advice, I'm a size 9 in converses I've heard you should go .5 size smaller or will a 9 be good? thanks.
