Guys help
I keep missing jerks on my 101% C&J attempts with 130kg. Coach says i don't properly activate my glutes. She also says i have mass in the wrong places and that i should skip my upper body training and focus more on glute hypertrophy.
spend a fraction of a second longer in the explosive phase--don't rush to get under get tall and straight like a piece of rebar, legs working hard (HARD), lower back still tight, arms still relaxed then elbows up, hips down your shoulders are loose and weak in the catch. all that architecture needs to be taut, solid, working instagram.com/p/BQ2fHg4hZIO/?hl=en&taken-by=larrior pay attention to the muscles xie is indicating these cannot be loose at all even when you feel yourself losing balance, do not lose tightness here to compensate--better to lose the weight then develop a bad habit of softening shoulders

what it's like being such embarrassing, weak little faggots? you look like shit, you (might) do some totally useless bar bouncing instead of actually lifting weights and everybody thinks you're a bunch of pompous shit stains since EVERY crossfit dumb fuck fits that bill.
tell me so i have more reasons to laugh at you. also, your last crossfit general went into the archive after FEWER THAN 70 POSTS. L M F A O !

Blog update: I just laid down on the floor for about 20 minutes trying not to cry then once done I massaged my tricep and forearm on a rail till my elbow felt fine. Weights still felt like shit though.

you're still not finishing your pull, and you're bumping it out rather than pulling straight up, which is why it's forward and you're catching it on your toes the end of your pull should look like pic related notice how straight he is, and how his legs are fully extended when you aim for this position it will feel like you are spending too much time and you need to get under ignore that feeling, stay with the pull complex: snatch pull+snatch+snatch pull+snatch pull should be identical in the snatch pull and the full snatch. the only difference is going under on the later.
Where the fuck am I supposed to hit the barbell during the clean? I can clean 130 but with bending arms and hitting the bar below my belly button (between genitals and button) but i feel like i would get used to bad tehnique and it will cost me in a long run, and I can't do hang cleans with grip that wide. On the other hand, wide grip allows me to push my knees wide and allow straight path and good extension at the top. With normal grip i feel like I'm not extending enough at the point of contact and if I do I'll hit my balls, also I can't get my knees wide apart during first pull because arms get in the way.
So brehs, what to do? Is there any guide to grip wideness on the net?
Its not natural to have your cleans contact in your hip pocket like the snatch does of you grip the bar narrower than snatch
The final bar position should be below your weiner not you risking tearing your biceps by half curling it to put it in your hip pocket
Wyatt Sanders
But anyways you shouldnt really be worried about hitting the dingle much unless you slam your hips into the bar as opposed to bringing the bar back
:)
Jackson Perez
Hopefully you're right, I should go back and work light sets and find grip width that suits me with wide knees tech. I wouldn't have much problems with wide grip if the catching position wasn't so uncomfortable (elbows don't really agree with it) and yeah, I don't want to tear up my shit. Anyway, any trick to avoid really bruising up my penor? Maybe wearing tight pants or compresion shorts or simply taping balls up?
Bentley Kelly
Snatches were fucking shit today. How is everyone's day?
Juan Price
I had mine surgically removed to make sure I’ll never hit them
Best decision I’ve ever made
Connor Smith
If I'm doing cleans, clean pulls then squats already in a session and I want to do some light technical specific work, e.g. tall cleans, when should I do it? At the start, after cleans and pulls but before squats, or right at the end?
Levi Murphy
I’d do em as a warm-up for cleans

lower back is rounded, whole back is angled too far forward shoulders too fast back to compensate for back angle--unstable even so, weight shifted forward doesn't look very comfortable
Austin Brown
So shall I have my back more upright?
Connor Martinez
yes lock lower back and raise chest a little keep shoulders/traps working to hold the bar. there should be very little movement here. if you need to shift or rotate your shoulders to get into the bottom position, there is a flexibility problem further down the chain, probably in the hips when you're squatting, sink through your hips into your mid foot, toward your heels if you can't foo this fluidly, again you have a mobility problem, again probably the hips of that's the case, take just the bar, put it over head, and squat until you feel your hips starting to 'catch' hold for 10 seconds, and try and sink a little deeper, hold again, and keep sinking
Wyatt Johnson
you need two cues, push chest out, and tighten glutes
might need to work on glute strength too
Kevin Bell
i also think you should be pulling your head farther back, but the chest push cue should naturally solve that
Chase Price
the hell are you talking about
Nicholas Scott
I really hope those are rubber plates you're using.
Matthew Bell
You need to stretch entire lower body until you can relatively comfortably sit in a deep squat with knees forward and torso vertical. "Chest out" is just going to cause a horrible back arch and not actually address the problem.
