Forum: Olympic Lifting

Hi I was wondering what can I do to get bigger legs with pure strength and power

How much focus do most lifters put on doing the BS? How correlated is it to your max CJ and Snatch?

I am new to lifting vocabulary and lifting too of course. I've seen the word "press" in a lifting routine. I was not sure what it meant, does it mean a bench press? Shoulder press? I've seen this more than once in workout programs. Here is an example: trainingiqcom/warm-up . In the "SPECIFIC...

Snatch for me.

ive decided to put cleans in my bodybuilding program. Specifically before i do squats as it helps get my knees moving in the morning. Do you think I should be doing power cleans or full cleans?

I just started doing olympic lifting, I've learned how to snatch and clean and jerk, but I don't know which program I should use. Any of you know of a good program to use?

Hey guys, I've been doing MT for about a year now and I'd like to start lifting for strength, explosivness and to improve fast twitch muscle fibers ( I don't know if this stuff is even real but I've done like two days of research and this stuff gets brought up a lot for athlete training ) ...

Maybe this is a dumb place to ask - but it’s a genuine question. - For obvious reasons I’m about to convert my shed to a home gym. - I’m buying a full rack, bar, plates, bench... the fairly normal kit that I use in the gym. But I’ve got to ask before I take the plunge... what if I save my...

Hey everyone. Looking for some advice as I try to get back into Olympic Lifting. I'm not planning on competing or doing this for any other reason other than the fact that I enjoy the Olympic Lifts and I don't get bored doing the workouts like I do with traditional workouts/splits. Back in my...

Hello, So I live in a city that has no olympic liftting gym. I was thinking it cpuld be a nice buisness idea however, I have mo experince in buisness or olympic lifting, it is just nice to open such a place and hire some to teach me and other. What do you guys think?

I have been incorporating dumbbell variations of Olympic lifts into my training program for max-strength. From what I understand, they also aid in explosive strength as well. I am taking a back-off week this week, but I am making a training schedule for next week. I want to start incorporating more...

Hey guys anyone here that can recommend a routine that incorporates Olympic movements along with a hypertrophy/bodybuilding approach?

If you're a gym owner of any kind (CrossFit, fitness studio, yoga studio, etc) help me with my research and let me know which of the below reaches out to you the most first time...

I got into lifting late in life, but want to get the most out of it while staying healthy. I’m 35, and started lifting seriously 6 months ago. Been working on my diet, and tried a few different workout plans, but I feel like I’m not getting my full potential. Where can I find a good workout...

The past few years my bodybuilding style of training has been inconsistent to put it mildly, fast metabolism and poor diet (lack of food, not too much). Over the past 3 months I have had a pretty bad bout of depression and anxiety, completely knocked me off from everything, stopped training,...

I'm studying the use of personal equipment by different strength athletes. I am using a short survey to collect data on athlete's use of each equipment. Unfortunately, up to now, Olympic Weightlifters have been underrepresented in my respondent pool. I could use some help. Here is the link to...

I thought I had decent grip strength before I started to do deadlifts. Turns out, not so great. I regularly use hand grippers/crushers and twist roller for grip strength. I spend a lot of time on pull ups and can hang from a bar for around 2 minutes max. I also hang from the bar for 3 sets of 1...

Would appreciate some feedback on my power clean form https://youtu.be/zO5jkyxzuXk

These are a couple of reviews that I've written up. I posted this on crossfit.com a while back, but have since updated it. Since there is such a wide spread of brands and price ranges, I wanted to do a write up of the pros and cons of each shoe that I've owned and lifted in so hopefully this will...
