This thread is dead. Does that mean that Oly was just a fad like Crossfit?

Yes it is, but ussf will be the future.

I find power jerking far easier than either split or squat jerking, but I'm under the impression that means I could jerk way more if I just got my technique for either down pat.
James Adams
don't worry guys I will not let it die today
Jeremiah Cook
lol I had this saved but now that I look at it its bad
Christopher Hall
can someone explain why cleans are trained just as often as the snatch? cleans are so much easier and the snatch has a ton of carry over, it seems like my time would be better spent just only snatching
Grayson Gutierrez
I don't get your question. Clean is not really easier desu.
In non oly-routines cleans are placed rather than snatches because they require less mobility and are less dangerous if you fail so it's an easy cop out (or time and risk minimisation) for the program designer and trainee.

I posted this on the last one but I am trying to get more opinions How big should my Front Squat be before I start oly lifting? I can't really porgress linearly any more but my Front Squat is only at 70kg. Should I try to get it up before I start oly? If yes what is the program that will get me there the fastest?
Easton Sullivan
Why have you stopped LP for front squat at 70kg?
Caleb Lewis
Can you find a pvc to practice positions with? Can you find a youth or women's bar with technique plates, or prop the bar on some aerobic steps, or do the progressions from the hang?
With 70kg front squat, I'm pretty sure you can use the girl's bar 15kg for hang snatches and hang cleans and jerks, and probably even use the big boy's bar at 20kg.
wrt programs, check the op links, there are some programs for rank beginners in some of those links and books

i have good upper body strength relative to my body weight (60kg at 65kg bw) and very weak lower body (70kg front squats, 70kg clean pull)
how to increase squats ? i guess i got some potential with my good ohp but my legs are so shit
Leo Watson
Squat more
Alexander Turner
I've done the daily catalyst routine (very hit and miss), the 4 week catalyst routine (good, but short turnaround means you don't get much stronger, just get comp ready quickly), and Takano's C3 (fucking brutal but effective - I was strong enough for c2 but pussied out)
Now I'm doing my coach's routine which is a 4 day volume program with a ton of 7-rep sets for squats/pulls/accessories, which is even more brutal
Nolan James
I find snatching a lot easier than cleaning, the weight is practically nothing in comparison. People who find snatching difficult usually just need to work on their form
William Wood

remind me another time and I'll make an account to share it here with

God bless America guys.
Samuel Johnson
And yet she still benches more than you at a lighter bodyweight.
Robert Nelson
Not to say it’s bad form for benching for powerlifting, but for practicality and safety I would say no.
Tyler Ortiz
Oh and she shits on RPE. Cool story, why is it always genetic freaks shiting in rpe ?
Michael Robinson
RPE is one of those things that works a whole lot better in theory than in practice. Mostly because the average lifter is an atrocious judge of it.
Aiden Cook
Like it or not everyone unknowingly uses it. But to dial it in, yeh you need practice.

What's different between and since in both their torsos are ventricle before jumping
Isaac Garcia
1st one is vertical torso before hips are extended. 2nd one torso vertical when triple extended fully. Take a look at it again.
Daniel Foster
Is Bulgarian with just squats, presses and snatch/clean pulls a viable way to rebuild strength for someone in a very very deconditioned state?
Juan Harris
I have a stupid question, can anyone recommend an android application to log your stuff without unnecessary social media bloat? I'd do it old way, but I keep missing my notepads.
Zachary Richardson
I miss the old days before the internet and linear progression and spreadsheets when everybody used RPE but nobody had a fancy fucking name for it >coach says >give me a 5x5 and make 'em tough, no grinding except the last set >write the weights in the logbook >look back later and see 5rms and total weights used trending all by themselves nowadays these fuckers are lost without a damn smartphone app and people who legit aren't experienced enough to HAVE a stable 1rm are calculating percentages of it for their workouts
Jeremiah Lopez
I have been practicing the movements for about 3 months with light weights and my form is pretty solid rn. My question is if I should get stronger before I start increasing the weight on the oly lifts or if I should just get right into oly
Aiden Williams
Whenever I clean the barbell doesn’t rest on my shoulders and my elbows are pointed lower. Is that acceptable form? If I point my elbows any higher it strains them.
Wyatt Sanchez
Is it a good system to work up to a daily max once per week for each movement (snatch, cnj and fornt squat) and do variations (hang, muscle, tall etc) with higher volume the rest of the week?
Charles Nguyen
>is mad at Crossfit >Calls weightlifting "Oly"
Ryder Harris
Why are you benching for practicality and safety? If you want practicality, do incline bench or an OHP. If you want safety, do strict press and dips. It's fine to like bench, but it's a competition lift at heart, and the way she does it is good for longevity and results in the sport of powerlifting.

I'll work on front-back ratio but my instincts tell me to work on my lower back, it seems I can only ever power myself up through my quads once I force myself upright
Wyatt Turner
I used to trip at plg :^) Ig: Piss e n i n
The strain is normal and the result of inflexibility, you should correct your form with a lighter weight (assuming you are cleaning with a lighter weight) and being comfortable with the form before increasing the load
I suggest front squats into your routine
Nathaniel Peterson
>the barbell doesn’t rest on my shoulders do you mean you're supporting the weight with your arms?
Joseph Cox
that is the opposite of acceptable form, if anything it's alright if your elbows aren't pointing straight out as long as the bar rests on the belly of your deltoids
William Long
This is owg. Whats your wl total then sparrow
William Martinez
I can't clean and jerk :(((( yet Sorry But the last time I tried with shit form was a 55 Still sticking to a pl workout with the weekly snatch

Pls this is not me I am not a faggot
Sebastian Johnson
I don't even know if there's any point in introducing chalk if I can double overhand much heavier than I can hook grip.
David Richardson
I’ve only really done back squats, and don’t you cross the arms over the bar for front squats, or is there a variation with the same position as ending clean? Thanks user
Jack Scott
damn sparrow u lookin t h I c c

Don’t do that normal fag shit

is there anything i can do to strengthen my mid back? I just added front squats into my routine and i'm having trouble keeping my arms up, I currently BS 82.5kg but was limited to doing 40kg on my FS because of my arms dropping coming back up, would it be better to add 5kg or shall I add 2.5 next session on friday?
Samuel Turner
yo where the china numbah wan resources at? tired of fuckin' with the russians they've destroyed my fucking pubic bone and my leg strength with their bullshit
