Just wondering what the standard is, I've been doing it 2-3 times per week and been making decent progress.

Seems like everyone in my college gym has been hang cleaning like this lately. eEW_lpvYmD0 I'm not even sure what to call it... my form is far from perfect but damn.

really entertaining and he makes some very good points in the vid and skip to the end for the awesome pics VEgm7WJBURQ&NR

Just wondering whether its just me that is experiencing this or if there are others: I've been weight training for some time now but it wasn't until I got more serious about my Olympic lifts that I started getting problems with skin cracking on my left index and somewhat less on the middle...

Does anyone know of any articles or videos on the technique of the "Old-School" Clean & Press back when it was still in the olympics? Serge Redding's 502lbs Clean & Press: 3nJrYPVJ88M

Check this out. What If I were an Olympic Coach by, Louie Simmons In 1968 Jan Talts of the USSR said his training consisted of 90% power work and 10% actual competitive lifts. By doing this, he became one of the greatest lifters of all time. I recall him moving up to 110 kg. (actual weight...

Back in the day, guys used to train 3-4 times a week, once a day. We are talking Olympic champions, not just 'ordinary' lifters. They also wouldn't go to a true maximum very often, usually preferring to save those extra kilograms for the platform in competition. They would still squat, do overheads...

Took alot of videos today from my workout. I did Power Cleans 3X3 with 205. Power Clean X1 and Front Squat X3 195, 205, 215, 225, 235, 245. Then a final set of Power Clean 255 X1. For some reason you'll notice when i go above 225 on power cleans than i spread my feet on the catch. Im...

Hai guys :D Anyways, I've been noticing that at my comfortable squat stance, I tend to lean forward. I usually (high bar) squat slightly wider than shoulder stance, feet barely pointed outwards. The problem is that at the bottom, I tend to lean forward a little bit. It's not a huge problem...

These guys were hang cleaning off from the squat rack safety bars and catching the bar with their wrists at the top!! (swinging it to the top, no shoulder catching). It was the best example of how to phuck you wrists I've seen in a while. I tried to explain and show them how to land the bar on your...

I've been around the forums for years but about 2 weeks ago I decided to take weightlifting seriously, putting myself in the right mindset for good sleep habits, a good diet and a good workout regime. What I would like to know, based upon your observations and knowledge: 1) What numbers could...

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...

Im gonna start rippetoes so ima have to do these but I got a question. When u do the jump, do u jump as high as u can?

if im training a kid for power cleans etc in a regular commercial gym with regular plates...and dropping the bar is out of the question, lol...how much of a hindrance is that going to be?

Pull:

hey all, recently iv'e been curious about olympic weightlifting (cant wait to watch 2008). i know there are alot different weight classes. i weigh about 142lbs. how much can the elite guys in that weight class or one near it lift? clean and jerk, snatch, squat.

Posting up some videos from my workout today.. pretty self explanatory.. video quality is horrible because its my cell phone camera.. and the camera is facing the side.. like i said.. not great but it gets the job done.. please critique. KMrrrwrxu9k *need to be faster under the bar on the...

Okay, you're not gonna see any epic weights here - he's just got the barbell and some very light plates on each side just to get the bar up to the right starting height. But I just found this video and got some real inspiration from it. thought this would be the best place to share it. ...

Hey guys, here's me cleaning 100 @ about 72. Would love any more advice or criticism! EDIT: **** I still can't post videos. youtube . com/watch?v=PcpNdc108YU&feature=

PB'd my Snatch last night, http://youtu.be/Pw-DOOQjdLc Don't think it embeded due to been on phone but if anyone could critique! - I can see that my arms slightly bent during the second pull also.

I have been olympic lifting for 1 year now. For about 3 months i have been hunting down 100kg snatch. My pr snatch is 95kg in training and competition. I'm going to max tomorrow. My body is ready. Will update

Do I have enough height in these pulls (defecit) to make the full lift? 2Smg7dWI4kM&feature=youtu.be aiCQR36kygo&feature=youtu.be
