Combining Disciplines

Hello I would like to improve my big 3 and my conditioning while learning the olympic lifts (I do not master the snatch). Are there any routines for this? If not what would be a good one? Thank you in advance Shayann

Knee pain when standing up from squatting while on tiptoes

Hello I hope you can help me - I've recently developed pain in the back of one knee, probably from incorporating skipping and olympic lifting (full clean and jerk, snatch, did a lot of mobility work for this) into my routine. Now: Nonspecific pain in my knee: - when I squat down while...

Improve your Clean

So I spent MONTHS CrossFitting and Olympic lifting, but due to a shoulder injury I just can't Snatch anymore. Therefore no point for me to waste my time doing either of those since I'll never go to the Olympics or the CrossFit Games if I can't snatch more than the bar... So I transitioned to a...

Long legs + short torso = good for power movements?

I am a relatively long-limbed lifter. My legs are about 3cm longer than my upper body and my reach is 6cm longer than my height. As such, I am mechanically disadvantaged when it comes to squatting movements; in particular the back squat. That said, I've always had a very strong power clean...

Bumper Plate Repair (and what are they made of?)

The club I train at has a beautiful set of old style Eleiko bumpers that are very popular with lifters - far more so than the modern ones. Recently a crew of bodybuilders turned up and started using them for those douchebag barbell corner rows that such people are so infatuated with and the angled...

Lifting with no bumper plates and a cement floor?

I've been lifting weights for a while but I'm very new at Oly. lifting. Didn't even really think I would be able to do it so I started playing around with light weights that I knew I would very rarely fail with.I wasn't really attached to doing it but now I've grown a taste for it. I have only...

Collapsing forward in Front Squat and Clean

Hi everyone, I've got an issue when I go heavy with front squat and cleans - my upper back rounds and I drop the weight off the rack position when I'm at the bottom of the squat. I clearly don't have enough strength to hold it there, are there any accessory exercises I can do to help fix it?...

Knee Sleeves

Anyone have any recommendations as far as using some knee sleeves for squats? I am curious how many of you O lifters use knee sleeves and what a good brand would be. I am currently on the Russian back squat routine which has you back squat MWF, and then we go up to a clean max single on the...

Olympic lifts with regular barbell?

I have plates that aren't good for an olympic bar, and I can get a regular bar for much cheaper. I know that the rotating sleeves save your joints, but what are the exercises that can be done safely without them, and which are those that absolutly require them? I can choose between 180cm...

I have dabbled with some oly lifting in the recent past as a result of exposure at crossfit, then doing straight oly in a club for 3-4 months before quitting (for a range of reasons beyond my control), it was hard to walk away because I was starting to get comfortable and I was beginning to wrap my...
