Forum: Olympic Lifting

since I'm sure I'll go through many trials, please look at the most recent videos I started doing versions of the oly lifts a few weeks ago. I like doing the lifts and I want to get better, so maybe I can compete in weightlifting one day. I'll get some snatch vids up when my shoulder heals but I...

This is near-PR weight for me, so have at it with the comments. Last time I posted, someone mentioned that I shouldn't be flat-footed on my jerk (the rear foot), and I've tried to work on that. A2LUyrtGpuU&

Could anyone link me to one? I didn't see any in the stickys.

I started doing Power Cleans a few months ago, and I foresee trying to perform the full version as well as the Snatch and Jerk in my not-too-distant future. I love the technique and explosive power aspect of Olympic weightlifting. But I want to learn to do the lifts the right way, even if that...

So I'm kinda interested in the Olympic lifts. And was wondering everyone's thoughts on incorporating them in with SS? I'm not talking about trying to go heavy and all out with them yet. Maybe just some technique work with just the bar and some lighter weight? I'd be slowly working on teaching...

I've been doing the o-lifts for about 4 months now, other than cleans back in high school. I made some solid gains right away, but in the past two months I haven't really gone anywhere on cleans and squats, and snatches to a lesser extent. I think I'm really starting to get my snatch down and...

If your deadlifting and squatting 500-600 pounds would you still not be strong enough to get in? I know deadlifts are not in the olympics but just generalizing because I have never done the olympic lifts so I don't know how strong you have to be to do clean and jerk 400 pounds.

Was just thinking about this today,who do you think is currently the most aesthetic olympic lifter. What about all time? There's actually some good competition for this, Klokov, Xiaojun, Guozheng when he was still competing. Even Farris is pretty built. My vote: I know he's not lifting...

Hey guys, just curious on what types of belts you can use and which would be the best to get for the oly lifts. Right now I use a bodybuilding.com for heavy cleans and figured I'd do a little upgrade lol thanks

Since the jerk I worked with never helped out, I would just take 2 cans and do Oly lifts with them into the packers. so I basically did 4 days straight of Oly lifting. Just a random thread, thought I would share my experience with you guys lol.

Hey guys, my name's Hunter I've been lurking the misc and other forums for about a year or so, also been lifting on and off since high school but was never as dedicated to it as I am now. It also doesn't help that I took about a 1 year break from lifting once I started college... Anyways, in...

I know it is many things i can fix, help me pls? Thanks :) 6mB0ASfOQl8

I had Bronchitis last month and am just getting over the last of the coughing. 2 weeks ago, I was half turned, talking to a friend in the seat behind me and I coughed and I pulled a muscle in my side. It started off feeling a little sore, similar to when I do abs after a long time of not doing them...

I'm in the florissant, mo area and looking to start learning olympic lifts. Does anyone know a good resource or coach in the area or even some one with some experience that wouldnt mind another lifting partner?

Don't know if any of you guys are local to NE, but it would be worth the drive if you are. Dr. Herrera will be there, as well as Ivan Rojas. It's only $90. FYI for Mods, I have no business relationship with Risto, I just train there on weekends, and thought I'd share with fellow OLers. A little...

For those of you who may not be aware, Adam Scheiner wants to produce a movie that features an Olympic weightlifter as the main character. Donny Shankle will be portraying the Olympian. If this goes through this could really help the sport of Olympic Lifting. They are looking for funding so they...

Haven't been on here in forever.. But I felt like posting. 1. Because the OLYMPICS ARE THIS SUMMER. Can't wait to watch Kendrick Farris. 2. I finally got my new OLY SHOES - VS Athletics and they are the best shoes I've ever had. My first pair were generic pair that were real cheap and my...

saw this and thought it was pretty cool for teaching speed under the bar, lol you'll see what I mean ( go to 2:45ish) s5_9-NOCIhE the clean is at 2:45ish

They're running tights, not necessarily for weightlifting. I wear them under the pants I wear when I train. I only wear these tights though because I feel it protects my shins from the bar a lot more than tape and socks and stuff did, because this makes it much smoother. So, I actually do not...

5'10" 94-96kg BW Coming back from a groin pull. Any critique and comments are greatly appreciated. Started messing around with the Olympic lifts about a year ago, got on a routine around August '11. Pulled my groin April (not weightlifting related) and was off for about 3-4 weeks. Current bests:...

Who do you think will win each weight class at London? I'm thinking this: 56 kg: China 62 kg: China 69 kg: China 77 kg: China 85 kg: Iran 94 kg: Kazakstan 105 kg: Belarus (There's some debate at the gym on this, a few think that Akkaev will take the 105's) 105 kg: Iran (Pending Salimi...

Does anyone have any old adidas oly lifting shoes they are looking to sell size 11-12 preferably the models discontinued?? Beacuse I've been searching and I really want some bad.

What's up brahs? Yes, I'm still alive and I'm sill lifting; thought I'd ask for a form check and see if I've made any progress in that area: 7eFkKtkGyCs Let me know what you guys think I can work on; I think I'm going rather slowly here and I feel my upper back and glutes could fire alot...
