if Lu X jerks are so inconsistent then why does he squat jerk? would make sense to use split jerk instead if jerk is far behind clean wouldn't it?

Jerking 205 with ANY technique requires a lot of skill, his squat jerk ain't bad but his cleans are obviously way better. At this point, he's better off keeping on jerking 205 and perfecting the technique so that 210+ is good in competition rather than learning how to split jerk and probably not ever being as good at it as he is squat jerking...

I've wondered this so many times. So much less room for error in squat jerks.....even if it does look bawss.

maybe he split jerk or tried split jerking at one point and they were even less effective. would be weird as f*ck but who knows

Guys I REALLY ****ed up my back in hockey today. High impact sliding on the ice into the boards. Ass took all the impact as I was trying to get up and my spine just compressed like crazzyyy. Intenseeee muscle spasm. I though I ****ed my spine up bad initially. Couldn't breathe or move much. The pain is in my mid back. Spinal erectors are ****in inflamed and tight as hell more so the right one.. No joke I wonder how I would have faired if I didn't have such a strong back from weightlifting...considering how bad it is.

I currently can't bend my back over unless I put my hands on my knees. If I fractured a vertebrae or can't lift for while I'm gonna cry, srs.

good luck bro. will hope for the best

It looks like the bar goes out and around your knees during your first pull.

misses snowball. when you start missing you keep missing, although maybe thats just me

you have good speed under, do you feel like you have much finish to your pull? it doesn't look like you get the bar very high. yes I know that over-pulling is superfluous, but you might be under-pulling


^^^ that too

Sorry for lack of knowledge, oppose to what? How should it go/How would I correct that?

Yeah, I think I am under pulling, a lot actually. Especially like, after my 20kg warm ups, I feel like I started going a lot slower, not pulling as fast as I can into the bar. I do not know why or do this, or how to correct it. I think I have inhibitions to fully pull, fearing I'll throwing it too far behind or something.

[DaTruth1]

^do you always bend your arms a bit early? You look like your trying to pull the bar into your hips but that early arm bend looks like it's making you under-pull and leaves the bar forward instead of having a straight upwards trajectory.

Do both arms seem to be bending equally?

If so, that can indeed be a/the problem.

thinking of buying my own weights and rack to put outside so I can train more comfortably do you think either would rust if you put them outside under a corrugated plastic roof?

Pretty good prices as well. Would be worth 2 years gym membership so would be saving money on top of fuel.

do some background research on the company/product first. nothing worse than buying **** equipment


New poverty weightlifting video going to be up in a handful of hours! stay tuned for some shout outs! off to the gym

the bar gets to far away from you off the floor, and like they said you bend your arms to bring it closer right before the second pull. A lot of the misses towards the end you didn't finish your first pull and were already trying o dive under the bar, or over pulling and looping it.

I'm also not a fan of jumping forward to catch lifts.

Nobody besides me got absolutely smashed and watched back to back UFC on fox then Pacquiao/Marquez IV?
FTW, tell me you witnessed the death of boxing tonight?

In other news, my gainz are probably gone and won't be able to workout for days. Had wayyyy too much overproof 62% rum.

this
your shoulders need to be more infront of the bar in the starting postion

Dbk made my 2,500 calorie dinner look ridiculously girly. The reason I'm still awake is because I've been having trouble sleeping lately, I think the insomnia is a part of the adjustment process to daily heavy training. If anyone else (ftwrestler?) went through/is going through this, did you manage to overcome it?

what the **** was he point of the fight? 4x? come on man. i mean he beat him i want take that away, but when you fight 4x you never know what will happen.

boxing is a terrible sport now

[olyw8lifter]

Greco-Roman - I see a couple things with your snatches. As mentioned you pull around your knees, this means you're not using your legs very much off the floor. If you're using legs, the knees will go back so the bar can come in naturally to the hips. Also, you're letting the bar crash overhead rather than pulling yourself under and maintaining pressure on the bar. Lastly, you're not finishing the extension, as even you mentioned. After you bring the bar in you have to finish the extension, this keep the bar close so you don't loop it overhead.

Think of trying to snatch by running your thumbs up along the length of your body, and push with your legs and hips to break the bar off the floor!!

Lmfao @ the karaoke in the car and choice of music while lifting. Nice try at the 102 with akkaev music on. LOL @ end too.
