>tfw didnt even do the snatches i programmed this morning
technique was bad
I have big problems with putting/keeping weight overhead especially on snatch and i dont think it's weakness
Cameron Murphy
How much weight are you using? I'll tell you if it's weakness.
Wyatt Bailey
Did you fix your upper spine strength
Josiah Flores
it's better but not fixed
i think it had to do with bracing mostly it's lightweight babby
Kevin Peterson

Jordan Butler

Kevin Campbell

Hudson Long
did anyone tell you that your hair makes you as inferior as a colored person?
Connor Gutierrez

Colton Sullivan
Cause it's shit.
Asher Allen
it's just messy yo
Grayson Murphy
bumping
Gabriel Russell
Go out with friends to watch a play or train snatches and back squats?
Nathan Sanders
isn't it strange that a channel called All Things Gym is exclusively about olympic weightlifting?
Chase Cruz
lel, why are women so weak
Julian James
The website used to be about all kinds of lifting, then he got into taking pictures of wl comps then evolved into videos then the training halls
Mason Murphy
Lower test, lighter bodyweight, less explosive, etc.
Lincoln Flores
isn't your squat like 40kg?
Aiden Harris
90 @47. Almost 2x bodyweight senpai. Not as impressive because I'm tiny and light, but eh, I'll take it. Took a long time to get here while on test blockers.
Jackson Johnson

You need to go east, my son. Shake yourself free of your uncle's gnarly grip and run, run back into the arms of your sweet

Hi time for more blog
Last time i reduced powerclean frequency i started missing cleans way more. then i did more powerclean and jerk and became more consistent in clean and jerk
i just reduced power snatch frequency recently and now i've gone like three sessions with missing snatches. i just dont lock out when it's overhead or i lose it behind. Or i fall onto my knees
pretty angry
Connor Fisher
wouldnt test blockers make you feel like shit?
Cooper James
If someone wanted to have a decent amount of positional strength before WL, would programming OHS/Snatch Balances into a strength routine be worth my time/beneficial?
Which is better of the two?
Jack Taylor
Do both they work different things
Or just start wl desu m8
Cameron Sanders
still got 135 cj
Lincoln Perez
snatch balance is better, OHS is kind of a meme.
OHS is probably the thing you want to do first when learning though.
Thomas Lewis
you should make a webm of you squatting 90. do it from the side if you want to hide your face
William Robinson
she could do it from behind if she wanted to hide her face ;^)
Aiden Lewis
Reminder
Tyler Long
For 'positional strength' in the recovery of the snatch you could do Pause OHS at different points--so, for instance, take a pause in the bottom, then another at the 'sticking point', then another at lock out. Snatch balance isn't really going to help you develop stability and balance in the same way.
Really, though, if you're just beginning you should be prioritizing your positional strength in the pulling phases. So, pause segment pull/dls, and stage pulls. You need to make sure your positions are correct, and your focus should be on balance and consistency. Do not do these heavy. If you can, have someone watch you and critique your form. If not, record yourself and post videos in online forums like this and maybe someone will say something helpful every once and awhile, maybe.
Lucas Martinez
WHAT IS THAT?
Colton Hall
wtf does that even belong to a human body?
Brayden Turner
I am doing slow pause pulls at each point, just wondered about the recovery of snatch.
My OHS is very weak, so would it be worth doing it 2x week maybe after backsquats?
Jackson Taylor
jesus christ, it's like you've grown a second pair of ass cheeks with a muscular vagoo
Wyatt Fisher
hey that's mine gimme back my forearm
Nathan Adams
Yes. Many mtf on HRT have to cycle their hormones in order to not suffer so much with the side effects of not having test.
I do fine for the most part. Just sucks when it comes to lifting.
I will eventually. Some pieces of my homegym are still in the mail though. Probably try to record it when I reach 2x bw :)
How come your forearms are so lewd hwan? :x
Zachary Gomez
Wait, so are you an olympic lifting trap? Do you have pics?
I come here semi-regularly, and mostly for OWG, but have never given much thought on your trip.
Jace Cooper
I train weightlifting, but only for fun. I don't and don't plan on competing. Also my training is completely imbalanced (on purpose) as I don't train upperbody. So it's not like I'd be able to compete well anyways even if I wanted to (and I don't).
I'm the one on the left on these pics.
Josiah Ward
what the cuck
Dylan Bell
If you cycled off antitest you could probably make olympic qualifiers in your country t b h
Mason Nelson
>tfw not a cute trap with a cute trap bestfriend fuck
Easton Collins
I don't frequent these threads but whoah

Caleb Wright

My adidas PL2 is size 8
It's not that bad, really. My brother is only slightly taller than me and wears 9.5 adidas. I got lucky I guess.
Jackson Ortiz

Thomas Baker

Landon Rodriguez
