Forum: Olympic Lifting

anyone use this unusual stance when snatching or cleaning? I use it somewhat when snatching, it helps keep the bar close to my body and also on cleans It makes incorporating all of my leg drive easier. Anyone have any vids or pictures of modern day lifters who use this technique ?

Are there any gyms with bumper plates in NC? I am right across the border in Va...Id love to come work on some power cleaning technique..especially if there is someone there to teach a bit.

Anybody tried them? I did them the other day standing on about 4" worth of plates so I start about as low as I would with a regular barbell. I know it's not technically the same exact ROM as a barbell since the weight is distributed directly to the sides but it does make it much more convenient to...

I am new to Olympic lifting. I heard that it is good to do if you wrestle. If anyone can explain to me what is different about it and provide me with a basic workout it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Do they make that big of a difference to you guys? Personally, I struggle way more if I'm not wearing them, I end up going on my toes and it's really horrible. Before I used the shoes it was never like that, but I guess there's no going back now.

how do you know where to place your hands to use the best leverage possible ?

I'm on a Rippetoe type routine right now and I would like to modify it a little bit to incorporate a few Oly lifts in it for practice. I know one shouldn't modify the program without knowing how to do it but I'm *pretty* sure I'm doing it right. Here goes. Every day Warm-up (includes Oly lifts...

Trying forever to get this hook grip to work and keeping my arms straight today- I straigtened out as usual (triple extension) but instead of feeling my arms pulling the bar to my shoulders- my grip felt loose and the bar was spinning inside my hand. Luckily my shoulders glided into place,...

Hey guys, Wondering if most oly lifters do any direct hamstring work for injury prevention, or do you get enough from pull variants, squats, and the lifts themselves? Thanks FP
