Forum: Olympic Lifting

Just wondering how many of you squat everyday? I've read up on the bulgarian approach and read the whole broz thread who also suggests squatting everyday to the max, which is what I have done for the last 2.5 weeks (singles to max then 5 back off sets with 2-3 reps with 90%). I'm pretty new to...

I weight about 190 lb's or there about (just lost like 20lb's hah), what is generally accepted as a good lift for someones weight? i.e. for squat and deadlift, people tend to respect bodyweight x2, bench its anything over 1x your b/w, maybe 1.25+. Reps for good thoughts

I've been training in gym shorts for the past few months and noticed that some are starting to rip at the thighs from all the cleans I'm doing. I've been doing a lot of triples, and noticed that i hear a tearing noise sometimes when I catch the bar at the thighs on the way down. Also, when I squat...

It's only been 8 days now since I decided to give squats everyday a shot. Last tuesday was pretty high volume and on wednesday it wasn't so much a workout more of a get through the discomfort then go home. Thursday wasn't much better but I guess the tiredness stopped me from doing too much. On...

i recently started having really bad pains in my left wrist. i was doing power cleans before n i never experienced these pains but now that i clean 3x a week i have them now... is it that my wrist arent use to it??

I was just wondering if anyone new of the world record in just the Hang Clean or Power Clean? I would think it would be somewhere in the neighborhood of 500 lbs. In college, I Hang Cleaned 365x1 at 230 lbs which I think it pretty solid but I know that is probably warm-up weight for some...

Hi I'm kinda new to lifting for power as opposed to aesthetics and have since been addicted to squats. I'm currently doing bill starr's 5x5 and part of the routine calls for atleast 48 hours in between squat workouts. A little searching on the net and I found olympic lifters stating they do squats...

now i searched the forum, ive searched the internet, ive have asked questions of some of the lifters/coaches i know, but i still feel it is a clouded issue within weightlifting. what should you eat? there are a lot of american lifters that feel paleo is a right way. Japanese, chinese and...

Hi, thread title says it all. Right now, I'm 5'10 and weigh roughly 190-200lbs and have been doing rippetoes for my squat since I still can't lift 315 for a single I figured I'd do a basic routine, I started at 185lbs and have been adding only 5lbs a session for a while but recently I've been...
