Run, pushups, situps, pullups. After you get hired drop all that and do the starting strength program or similar. IMO.

Just got some Romaleo's 2. They are much more stable than my 4 year old Do Win Rogues. Your feet just lock to the floor, hard to explain. They feel more professional too. Just built much better.

Oops, misspelled Pendlay in the thread title

I posted this in the Olympic Lifting forum here, but I thought some of you may have one of these bars too.


I have an old first gen pendlay oly bushing bar that's about four years old. The bar...

Jon North wrote a narrative/poem/piece on his blog that says he's following Coach, and that he's moving to South Carolina. He also mentions that his team mates (which ones?) have already left for SC.

I caught a comment on one of their new weightlifting videos that several memebers of the Cal Strength team were moving to SC to form the new MDUSA team. The muscledriver usa site does say Glenn is...

The GHR's really help me with the olympic lifts. I have a cheap commercial GHR. I usually do 3 sets of bodyweight, twice a week. You can do reverse hypers on some GHR's (I do this twice a week as...

Olympic lift out of my home in Garner (near Raleigh)

This may sound overly simple, but are you leg driving the bar HARD? I mean trying to push it through the celing hard. I thought I was pushing/driving hard, until I was coached to "push it into orbit"...

Get a coach if you can. Check USAW's website for coaches near you. If you can't get a coach, watch as much video, and read as much about it as you can (without going overboard). A good book would be...

Hi, been training oly about 3 years. Lifting on and off since high school. I'm not as serious as most here, and this is reflected in my numbers lol. I do enjoy it though. Thanks for asking!

I haven't posted in a while, though I've been around. I'm at 68/91 @77kg now. 36yo.

On the power cleans. Watch some videos of good olympic lifters doing them. Compare your videos to theirs. Try to emulate them as much as possible. Notice how you are leaning back when you catch...

OP the best thing you can do IMO is watch JLC's videos that were posted, and try to make your power cleans look as close to his as you can. That's the quickest way to get them looking good. If you...

Mine did that too, plus tore the sole some. Shoe Goo and a c clamp made em useable again.
