Forum: Olympic Lifting

I'm pretty new to Power Cleaning. I just recently fixed my form (by using hook grip and keeping arms locked) and my Power Clean jumped from 120 to 160. So I started doing 5x3 with 135 pounds. And then every workout I added 5 pounds. I got to 155 pounds and couldn't complete 2 reps on the first...

I keep trying to use it, but it's pretty discouraging. I have pretty small hands for someone my height so that doesn't help. But it just feels ridiculously weak. The other day I tried to use hook grip for 5 x 205 RDL's and I could only maintain the hook grip for two reps before it gave out. On...

Hi, How many here are following weightlifting tourney at the summer Olympics? Seems a good outing for the top contenders, I guess?

After watching some of the olympics and wanting to try a new training program for myself, i have considered giving olympic powerlifting a shot.

Hello, I'm an intermediate lifter - I've traditionally trained for bodybuilding for about two years (casually) and recently picked up Olympic lifting, too. I'm training fourteen times a week (7 for bodybuilding, 5 for olympic lifting) but I've recently torn my meniscus in my knee. It's been...

I cannot keep my elbows from bending when the weight goes up in a squat snatch. How can I prevent this?

Hi, I set up a weightlifting gym in Holbrook, on Long Island. I'm 20, so not a coach or anything, but I have a pendlay bearing bar, and bumper plates. I would like to try to get a gym of dedicated olympic lifters. It's hard to find places out in Long Island though. I invite anyone interested to...

When doing double and triples, do you do the same number of jerks as cleans? or is it best to do a 2+1 or 3+1? trying to figure out the best approach as a beginner in this style of lifting

I have some troubles with my OLY lifts. Jerk: I seems to be pressing to much instead of dropping my body down. Also, my foot placement is a issue. My front leg doesnt as far as it should be, that makes me unstable. Clean: Some people say i am to aggressive, i need to relax more but with new...

I just moved to the Woodlands area north of Houston, TX and was wondering if anyone knew of any gyms that had platforms for C/J and Snatching. There's ten thousand crossfit gyms that want to charge $200 a month... but I just want some rubber and a bar to slam. Maybe a bro or two.. who...

Hey everyone...... I just wanna ask if somebody has some tips for me to stay more upright in the Squat.... Or general technique-critique on my squat. I got a few videos with flat shoes and with wl-shoes just to show both of them. Flat shoes (recorded yesterday)

Hi everyone, I'll be entering a power-lifting competition this time next year and I need/really want to win. What can I do to augment my work out? My coach has currently told me to just do SQUATS, DEADLIFTS & BENCH-PRESSES. I figured my competitors would be doing the same, so if I do the...

I have a growing interest in starting oly lifting. I do powerlifting recreationally atm, and will be doing my first comp soon. From what i have researched, It looks super expensive to start and train. At least where I live in the UK. Most Gyms that have the right equipment (platforms, can drop...
