bump

heard Ilya was not going to be lifting there

spinal injury?? heard from his IG

Damn shame.

why do so many (asian) lifters begin the snatch with such a vertical torso? they immediately raise the hips to reach a more horizontal back angle so what's the point?

explain for a slow person what does 'power' added to a movement mean exactly? like what is the difference between a clean and a power clean?

There isn't a sharp distinction. In a clean you should catch the bar in a full depth front squat, while for a power clean you would typically catch the bar in a quarter squat or even higher. Obviously you can interpolate between these extremes

power clean is caught with your thighs parallel or higher. if thigh angle goes below parallel it's a normal clean

Is a 515dl impressive in weightlifting shoes, hook grip and no belt?

post your lifts with a picture of your body

Who

Guys why am I hitting my dick during the clean? Happened twice now and it's embarassing.

fuck off with your weak humblebrag
more than me = impressive, less than me = dyel
I can do 595 in those conditions so guess what

everyone ITT

Post a vid

Either you have crazy short arms or your trying to Snatch Grip. Either just move your hands closer together or stop trying to fuck the barbell and push through your mid thigh.

you need to raise your standards if you think that warrants video proof

Lol, you do realize only 5% of this board can lift 500lbs

Why high bar squats? Not even hating, just wondering.

yassss

Can you think of somthing else that’s more sports specific to catching a bar in a vertical position.

Why back squat at all if specificity is the goal? Why not just front squat?

Pulled my quad two weeks ago. Back squatting but still feels a bit odd

Belt squats programmed this week Bois but no dip belt. Would a Safety Squat Bar work as a replacement?

I think the Bulgarians use to just front ? But what do you think will get you stronger? Front squating 315 for reps or 405 for reps ?

Source???

So then why not low bar squat as assistance work, since it uses more musculature than the high bar squat?

What looks more like the catch position a low bar squat or high bar?

High bar looks like a clean, low bar looks like a snatch, so it depends.

Back squatting already isn't specific. So if specificity isn't the goal and lifting more weight is, why not low bar, which uses more musculature?

>Le low bar meme

Hey man pushpress is not specific enough to jerk so why not just bench press it uses more musculature.

Except you’re only thinking of long femur cuck who snatch, even so overhead squating is more specific

i miss lifting

me too
do exercises at home friend
you can use makeshift weights (bookbags , buckets )

It doesn't, and you should.

There's more to it than just the femur. And overhead squatting IS more specific, but we forego specificity so that we can lift more weight. Same with back squatting. And if the goal is to train more musculature to lift more weight, why not use low bar?

Seriously not memeing or trying to be a dick. I've just never heard any logic or reasoning to high bar besides, "hurr it looks like a front squat."

is the novice program on catalystathletics the best option for noobs?

rookiejournal.com/low-bar-squats-for-olympic-weightlifters-are-usually-not-a-good-idea.html

You just look like a brainlet, backsquatters lift as much as low
Bar squatters

anyone had sucess doing both bodybuilding and olympic lifting? It easily worked with "powerlifting" as in doing heavy compounds (4x4-6) since I'm doing ULxPPL and the upper day is strength focused the rest is more hypertrophy oriented(higher volume)

I'll be having a home gym so I can lift every day, technically. I have no problem recovering from 5 days so I'll push it to 6 but where do oly lifts go
pull days?

Oh my god that article was so hard to read. Was that written by Pendlay? After several arguments that hold no water, he concludes by sucking Rip's dick and saying bar position doesn't really matter.

I assume you meant high bar squatters lift as much as low bar squatters, which no, they don't?

I often get shoulder pain when going heavy on a bench press, jerk or any pressing movement. Are there any exercises or lifts I should be doing to correct the pain before I result in injury?

Also any general info to increase weight for the clean movement? Current goal is 225lbs @160lbs

Hasn't Ilya had back problems for a decade? He could have just tested positive or been embarrassed by his lifts since the ban and pulled out

oly lifters pull every day, the last thing they need is another glute dominant lift

Where's the fucking pastebin

some keep a more vertical torso throughout the whole lift, regardless only thing that really matters is consistent back angle until extension and shoulders over bar

better quad strength development, more focus on being upright under load, and more tolerable for volume than front squat. Squatting is usually a mix of specificity and strength gains, pure strength doesn't mean much if you can't apply it

ideally you want to remove lower back from the occasion, leg press could also work

'best' depends on sticking to something and not going up in weight until your technique is ok, other than that it's fine

it's probably fair to say that most weightlifters should also be 'bodybuilders' in that the assistance work after a session is almost as important as the session. Chinese routines often have only 2-3 weightlifting exercises (albeit at high volume) and then devote the rest of their workload to hypertrophy (rows, pull ups, decline pushups, etc)

work through different shoulder positions with light weight while avoiding pain, bands are good for this

Please post that Chinese sample program you've posted in every single /owg/ in my recent recollection. I forgot to save it.

Get wrecked faggot
