Calling all OL'ers......:)

[brahskimoseph]

learn how to snatch.
step 1. get a coach/show a vid

edit:
step 2. why in gods name do you wanna be 280 at ur height?!

I've been coached once, but I'll definitely get a video up.

And 2. I'm a shot putter, 250lbs is a featheweight for us. and I wouldnt be completley obese at 280 so why not?

[ftwrestler]

thinking about getting a job to work at home, like telephone wellness counseling

i could write off a computer and cell phone and a bunch of hands free equipment, be a stay at home dad, lift 3x a day and go to school online most of the week.


my goal is now to become that

[LudiWithKnives]

so i never realized you were supposed to really squeeze your ass at the top of the pull (never used my ass much for anything, thanks spine) and ive never snatch pulled 100 higher or with better bar path. pretty stoked for the prs that are on the horizon

wot....its like all glutes

occasionally at the end of a workout, but that usually means I didnt eat enough

Stomach aches? Never... I used to get headache when I used to to take creatine, BB days.... Now when I lift heavy I just get dizzy every now and then. However I've grown to love that feeling. I call it euphoria.

[Kadisha]

Okay so this is probably a form problem, but this still seems rediculous.

My snatch is over a hundred pounds less than my clean. I can clean 330lbs. I can barely snatch 200lbs. Wat do.

Could be flexibility too man. I've got that issue and it seriously pisses me off. My bottom position is weak as a result of of it.

Thanks brahs.

I seem to get occasional stomachaches whenever my workout program becomes more intense; coach tells me it's a stress problem.

power cleaned 115 after a snatch workout. whoever got the 120 PC recently... im coming for you.

[schabowy90]

^^ nice man.
Had a good session today too. Snatch+hg snatch 102 after 3 misses and CCJ 12

Any of you guys hip clean? I'm back to hip cleaning. Just kinda found its way back...

[DaTruth1]

i just never got that hips=ass.

The first time I trained with my coach he told me to imagine I am crushing a walnut between my ass cheeks - my pull height shot up instantly and I still use this cue to this day.

I fell on my knee a couple weeks ago at a cabin party. Anyways, a bit of pain never went away but it never got any worse. So I kept at it in the gym. Today I was going for a hang clean PR from the knees. I got under it but I just couldn't stand up with it...

Anyways, my knee hurt a lot after. I couldn't even squat. I tried to jog a bit for cardio after but it hurt too much... What should I do except for ice and rest? I probably won't be squatting all this week....

Yes, but only when I take too much caffeine/ritalin/modafanil and drink a protein shake and banana at the end of my workout.

Rehab it with slow eccentrics on leg extension machine w/ light weight and try the same with squats (even just the bar) imo.

Thanks... it sucks. I just want to squat heavy...........

[DaTruth1]

^if you didn't sprain a ligament too bad then it'll take 6 weeks tops. Probly quicker if it's just lesser soft tissue damage/inflammation.

[forcefedfreak]

According to the most experienced lifter I know, that's the way you're supposed to do it.

location of pain?

was there a pop inside the knee? how is your stability? can you stand on the affected leg solo? if so can you gently rotate/swing your body back and forth on that one knee without any issues?

[trailless]

It's on the very bottom of my knee cap. There wasn't a pop. I've done that before on the same knee back in 8th grade... It's no where near that. I have no problem standing on it. Just some pain walking sometimes and a bit of pain on stairs... Yeah, I can rock back and forth.

I'm thinking I might have bruised it when I fell and with all the squatting it just never healed. Well lets at least hope so.

I did 115 for 5 singles and failed 120 4x + sprained my left wrist attempting it. All the fails were so bad I probably looked like a retard. One of the misses I dropped on my thighs and that sent me flying backwards after which I tripped on a dowel that someone had strategically placed.

Btw have you ever PC'd for reps? I tried it and barely got 105x3 but I have done 100x6.

I'm about to enter my first meet soon (this weekend), wondering how long a comp takes? It's 2 hours away, and weigh-ins are at 8 am and wl'ing starts at 10 am. Say I have work around 3:30 and it's a 2 hour drive back... will the meet end before then?

I guess I'm hoping it takes 3-4 hours.

[DaTruth1]

depends how many ppl in your session. 3-4 hours would be pretty long man.
