How do you know he would have even been as good with xiaojun technique, or any better? Maybe the technique he needed was the technique he used because obviously something was working. He's a legend because of whatever he was doing.

on another note, imagine what dimas could have done with technique like this. its a shame he never fixed his quirks

He won three gold medals and a bronze. Khaki one three gold medals.

need some tips on snatch. when weights get near my 1RM (85%+) my snatch loses all efficiency. I can't get under the bar fast enough, because I'm used to pulling the snatch so high enough that I'd power snatch it, not sure if you understand what I mean.

notice how I pull it real high and then drop under the bar? it's like my body wants to stay in the comfort zone or something by not reacting fast enough.

how can I fix that? also, what're some good drills/exercises to improve my hip extension?

thanks in advance

I concur

Saw Miika Antii-Roiko pause front squat 220 kg last night so decided to **** around at the end of my workout and see what I could work up to. Hit 125 kg with ~3 second pause, felt a lot longer than that when I was in the hole though, ha.

I'm a fan of these, going to work them in when I can.

technique != efficiency though

That's like saying what if Tom Brady had Mike Vick's foot speed, or if Lebron James could knock down 3 pointers like Ray Allen. Would they be better? Sure. Does it really matter? No, they're still all-time.

Long time, no post. Hopefully I can win state, I have the ability, but the only downside is now that I put more of my time into shot put/discus I don't lift nearly as often as I should.

I noticed something though, out of the top 5-10 guys in my state, I probably have the lowest bench by at least 75 lbs. Thank you olympic lifts god

Yeah, I found that these are really important to do as they can really help you prepare for those cleans where you don�t catch the bounce.

I front squat twice a week and on one of these I dedicate to paused variants, my current best is 10kg below my non paused front squat:
(about half way through)

also, izzy, if you open your mouth, you'll snatch 113/136 so keep at it.

feces ijustwantedtosaythankyou - did broomstick (pvc pipe actually) snatch work on thursday night and on friday i magically had real hip extension for the first time ever. my third pull speed has probably tripled. too bad now i can only power snatch any weight i've ever worked with.

Random gifs I made for a thread. Might as well repost em here.

Unreal strength. 270kg squat and 150kg press.

how many reps are those guys gonna do?! dam

edit: A little anecdote for you peoplez:

I was shooting j's with a friend of mine today and he was constantly missing. Fast forward about a half hour, were playing 1 on 1 (he creamed me, i blow harder than a hurricane in november) and he was sinking them left and right. The difference? HE STOPPED THINKING ABOUT SHOOTING AND JUST SHOT. And there's my message for the day, shut your mouth and mind up and lift. Ive never had a light bulb and a bar over my head at the same time.

There's something about squatting in the rain and/or nighttime that feels good. Dat serenity.

I think I know what vid you are talking about but I can't find it on youtube anymore. These days any time I try to search for something WL related on youtube I keep getting results filled with crossfit.
