i don't get how these slow shitty technique guys like you can lift so much.

ATTENTION THREAD
THIS IS BAIT
LET MY REPLY BE THE ONLY ONE

When I back squat I can feel my upper back get tighter and tighter as I go lower, until it gives and then my whole back rounds.

What's going on and how do I stop it?

commi if youre here, join the watch2gehter chat

how many steroids are you take

Probably hamstring flexibility. Can you touch your toes?

hey comm
have you noticed that since you improved your timing and stopped pausing all your cleans at the bottom, not only is your rhythm better but you're way more confident on your jerks

yes

only just read about illya failing a retest from 2012

instagram.com/p/BG0SIFqm1oG/

Hey I strict pressed 102kg

it was due to Seans superior coaching

don't undersell your achievements durkz, that's 102.06kg

now what are you going to do, given that the the press isn't a competition lift for anything

it will improve my jerk when i make a stellar come back

...

oh ya im actually blue shoes on the dl

Ye im trying to get followers

WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT AL LTHE ATHELETS THAT GOT CAUGHT AND THAT THE GREATEST WL OF ALL TIME MIGHT NOT EVEN LIFT IN THE OLYMPICS

Commie building his forces for the battle of /wlg/

Cause he isn't the goat now that he got caught

so who is the new goat

the greatest wler of all time is long retired dude.

Ilya is the greatest of the last generation/our generation.

Because we've talked about that plenty when it was actually news.
Now we're just waiting on more news.

Ah, I missed the hype, due to work as usual.

Yeah, I haven't been on /owg/ since they announced some of the retests came back as positive

So is Ilya automatically out of the Olympics now or is it up to IWF/IOC discretion

he said he will appeal it, and he'll know for sure by the end of june i think

he probably wont win though like lovchev

allthingsgym.com/ilya-ilyin-progress-tracker-spreadsheet/

Good memories

He's temporarily suspended. He can still appeal but... it's unlikely that they're gonna let him go unless he has a very good excuse and proof.
No more dreams now, only tears.

can't say I mind too much. Watching Ilya would have been fun but weirdly I'm more excited for the 85s. Okulov v Tao will be fun and I don't know if I care too much that Apti won't compete

Also 94s because of Moradi

>Tao

Just another fraud. Ilya at least was legendary.

hasn't been caught yet therefore natty

Fucking stupid logic. Ilya wasn't caught in 2012 back when they did the tests, that means he's natty?

means he was at the time :^)
plus, idk how calling tian just another fraud is really contributing to meaningful discussion either

>means he was at the time :^)

But he was not. The tests he just got caught in were from his samples from that period.

what are you trying to prove here, that I'm only allowed to like weightlifters who are world record holders

No I'm just mad the GOAT is kill and other frauds no one cares about are still around.

ye
the bickering it's causing is lots of fun to read though
wlforums.com/forums/showthread.php?1440-IWF-public-disclosures

so you're the one who posted those blue shoe nudes in /plg/?

How did you improve your timing

>inb4 sean makes post saying he's coaching commisar or commisar makes post saying it's sean coaching

You are not sinking straight down
Also, stop thinking about tightening your back and start thinking about not moving it at all
That helped me tremendously in squatting smoothly

>weightlifters with long forearms

Have there ever been any successful ones?

My forearms are long as fuck compared to my upper arms, and I keep reading that they're the absolute biggest dealbreaker when it comes to weightlifting, providing no mechanical advantage and only creating a ton of big disadvantages. Even heard that Polish screening process for children automatically disqualifies any kid with long forearms, no matter what other good perks he may have.

Am I doomed?

define successful

Gone to worlds and/or olympics

though I feel like getting to nationals would be a struggle...

if you're questioning this you're never gonna succeed

going to worlds or the olympics requires you to not only have an insane level of dedication but you need to be genetically disposed to it too

sorry man

could you at least point out some athletes with disproportionately long forearms?

why not do your own research?

I did and found nobody, out of the current generation's lifters at least

i'm about to give up desu

Kolecki

But who cares? no one here will ever go to the olympics because:

A) They're not on the drug program that everyone else is on
B) They're not naturally built for it
C) They don't have an actual coach telling them exactly what to do
D) They just don't have the genetic potential for the necessary LBM to get strong in their respective weight class
E) They didn't start young
F) They have other things to do besides lifting

How did you guys get into OWG?

Thought it was the best way to combine lifting and sports. I took a 2.5 month beginner course and then continued to lift in an oly gym

Unless you're a girl. Christine girard is a silver medalist now

Clicked the link.

How are you defining "long" forearms? Like longer than your upper arm, same size or what?

around 1.5x my upper arm

have to clean with basically a snatch grip

ended up in an oly-athletics gym because it was the cheapest around

saw jacked motherfuckers throw big weights overhead
tried it myself
ended up liking it

>start lifting for aesthetics ("bodybuilding")
>realize that it'll turn me into a weak homo

>start lifting for strength ("powerlifting")
>realize that it'll turn me into a stiff fatso

now I'm slowly getting into oly.
Even though it's just for fun, I have no illusions to ever be competitive, or even compete at all.

>tfw no oly gym within 50km, and even then it's across a language border

>my gym is 50km away
>i go there
lol dont make exkooses.

Okay, let me explain it in detail
>live in belgium
>3 official languages
>I speak german
>My french is shit
>My dutch is nonexistant
>closest oly gym is in holland (50km)
>next closest gym is in french speaking belgium (60km)
>also, it's a crossshit box
>don't have a car
>closest oly gym in germany is in cologne (100km)

just go to cologne then
maybe youd smell better you filthy fuck Lol

non oly lifter here.
will hookgrip fuck up my thumb in any way? i want to use it for my deadlift instead of mixed grip.
3 plate dead felt ok in terms of pain and i read that it will only get better by time

oh look, a pussy

>wanting to lern hookgrip
>being a pussy

yes, your thumb pain is trivial and wont efect the lift unless youre a pussy

...

wtf is that, a screenshot?

Youre probably gone but a couple of things

>Horrible bracing. Find some videos on how to do it
>It looks like youre bending your spine in order to touch the pins. Dont force depth, it will fuck you up
>Hard to tell if you are sitting that far back on purpose or just weird proportions. You dont need to sit back with a squat. Focus more on hip-hinging. Sit into your hips. Practice naked in the mirror. Practice while holding a dumbbell in front of you (goblet squat). Try to understand what hip hinging feels like. DO NOT limit your knees. If they want to go out past your toes, just let them. Youll be more upright

>They have other things to do than lift
That's where your wrong friendo

taking a picture of your screen

are you retarded

Even worse... he emailed the picture to himself, downloaded it on his PC then posted it.

The Dutch all speak English though

Holy fucking save

Stupid to attempt to save but hey he did it!
Impressed.

>split snatching

fix your before you talk about others snatch

This is fucking bullshit. Everyone in the olympics is on gear that doesn't mean their accomplishments don't matter. I just want to watch the best of the best lift once in a life time weights because that's what the olympics are all about.

If they didnt test for gear at all, ilya could've hit 275kg C&J

Just homegym m80, I got a barbell and some weights secondhand for less than 100 euros at my parents place so I can lift even when I'm not at my usual gym. Its not ideal, but it's a start and you can get pretty far with enough practice.

this

everyone is on gear anyway so who gives a flying fuck?

and that'd be incredible

rur mums on gear xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD LOLZARZZZZZZ

?????????-?MMMMMMM???? xD LOL

what the fuck are you doing

is it possible to add 40kg to my total by august 28 to qualify for univ. nationals?
bw: 83kg
sn: 91kg
cnj: 104kg
bsq: 125kg

thinking of just running a pure raw strength program, as i think that's what's holding me back. should i just do SS? lol

actually, that's
sn: 92kg
cnj: 104.5kg
lol
