/owg/ - Olympic Weightlifting General A thread for the discussion of the sport of weightlifting and all things related. Keep the insults and shitposting to a minimum.
>helpful blog on some technique quirks: yashathoughts.com
>The information that you are looking for is probably in the above links. That includes routines, shoes, information on the lifts, etc. Check out the pastebins for literature or the reddit faq for general information.
Also, though it will most likely fall on deaf ears, many people dislike the blueshoes and Loli shitposts. The quality of the general has really decreased lately, let's change that.
Blueshoes we get it you wanna be seen and heard, but your not taken seriously, it's not funny.
Also this isnt /lg/ Loli general, have them as the image but don't have, the entire thread be some Loli roleplay.
So yeah can we get back to the old /owg/ with good questions and answers as well as interesting info.
Angel Wilson
1st for i like cock
Luke Lewis
lu will bomb in rio dubs confirm
Ryder Price
ok
Luke Reed
this, I stopped taking /owg/ seriously because I thought it had become a cesspit for cancerous tripfaggots to circlejerk over post-post-ironic loli-posting
i honestly dont even know who the fuck these people are
Adrian Thompson
I miss trappy ;_;
Jacob Bennett
how heavy do my lifts have to be before I am allowed to start training oly?
Dylan Ortiz
you can start training olympic weightlifting movements whenever you want, you dont need a specific strength level to begin
you might be well off doing a strength program along side bar work for a while, prob not a year though that's just silly :^ )
if whoever would just give me their steam or something it wouldnt be in the general
Zachary Green
nice try lmao
Luke Diaz
thank commie.
Ryder Hernandez
?????????????????????? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!
Nicholas Harris
>tfw wechat/owg/plg have been so slow since trappy left
plz come back ;'(
Benjamin Adams
Bump I'd appreciate any help
Benjamin Hernandez
Thank God desu

nothing but shit lifts this week lads. Feeling kinda bummed. Couldn't make my targeted snatches today, and missed lots of CnJs yesterday. I'm going on travel for work next week, so I won't be able to do any of the classics.
On a positive note, I hit a 142 kg fs double.
Robert Taylor
I hit heavy singles twice a week, is that too much? Should I space it out more?
Adrian Green
yeah bro do it twice a year or your tendons fall out of bones and shit. it real bad
Jose Martinez
Damn dude that's intense!! I guess I'll stop lifting all together!
Charles Morgan
maybe you have not good enough recovery it's not necessarily bad
Parker Howard
Is bulg heavy singles everyday?
Owen Martin
that's kind of vague but answering no wouldnt be quite right
Landon Gray
hmmm, I've been getting 8 hrs of sleep every night and have been eating enough, so idk. I think recovery is fine, my tech has felt off all week. My hands are also kinda fucked up atm, two of my calluses ripped off on Saturday, so I've been dealing with not trying to fuck them up any further
Blake Brooks
could be lack of deload depending on your training level
Oliver Williams
shieet I just did a deload two weeks ago.
Samuel Rivera
I've been essentially going to 100% and attempting higher every Monday Wednesday for the last 2~ weeks. I'm quite happy with the results I'm getting with it
I was told Bulgarian style was essentially a max out everyday. Depending on how beat up your body was your daily max was different
Jordan Hall
stop the illegal posting of lolis right now!
Bentley Campbell
how can I bring up my lagging upper body? I want to get into weightlifting from a background in cycling. I can squat lmao2.5pl8 no problem, but my ohp is like bar+25's. wat do? I also don't want to stop squatting, because cycling will still be my main focus
Juan Price
weightlifting upperbody strength is static strength which means your OHP being small isn't that big of a deal
if you do a normal routine it shouldn't be an issue since it'll more than likely take you longer to learn the lifts properly than it will for your lack of upper body strength to become an issue
to answer your question though: do more upperbody lifts
Luis Roberts
>wants to start weightlifting >"I won't be willing to stop squatting though"
R u a fucking retard m8?
Landon Cook
me too.. these day Veeky Forums is so f slow
Camden Howard
my front squat skyrocketed as soon as i started doing heavy deadlifts, went from 140kgx1 to 150kgx2 in 1 month. why the fuck owg always told me not to deadlift?
Asher Parker
Yeah sounds good
I'd expect higher results to come the day after my light day but normally it just happens whenever that's not a loli that's my wife
Levi Hughes
you probably had a weak posterior chain duh
it's better for wlers to do more specific pulls than deadlift
Josiah Butler
What do yall think of LSUS for intermediate strength ppl, but beginners to WL? It only has hang sn on tues. and hang cleans on thurs. and 80%-90% singles on sat. and that is all the classic lift work
Michael Robinson
Not for you.
Bentley Lee
Pent can you dump me some info on 3x a week training? I can't train more due to work so I just have to live with it, but I want to make the most of my limited gym time.
John Brooks
first time back from a month off lifting spent 24 hours in transit and on planes yesterday so I'm gonna be really stiff and gotta watch out for my back
also trialling bronkaid + coffee because I want to see what a minor EC stack looks like for a week
under the circumstances, does anyone have any suggestions for GPP? I was thinking something like this (all setxrep just examples) sn 4x2 squat 5x3 chins 5x10 klok press 5x10 back ext 3x15 erg 1500m
Guys I get a rash on my thighs from brushing with the barbell. I think the bar pulls on the hair on my tighs. What do? Shave? Just recently switched to shorts, will it get better?
Lucas Kelly
ty user I'll be squatting like 3x a week, can't I do upper body the other days? dude what
Connor Johnson
>Just recently switched to shorts
what the fuck were you wearing b4? briefs. thongs? what the fuck
William Anderson
Get used to it
Jose Fisher
Sorry.shouldve been > Just recently switched to shorter tight shorts I was just using whatever sport shorts I had laying around before. I guess I'll just do what said
Jacob Clark
>everybody mirin throughout the vid
Oliver Davis
I was watching the people squat with shit form more than I was watching clarence lol. had to watch it twice.
Nathaniel Powell
>my wife how many wife are you planning to have
Ian Sullivan
mashiro is my only wife but i'm good to the other girls B^)
Leo Wilson
gf wants to start doing more olympic and power stuff. ive personally played with the lifts hitting 80/100 at a weight of 73 kg. i know this is nothing special, but i digress.
im starting her off with a simple 3 day a week routine using dumbell and barbell olympic lifts. pls rate, lmk if this is a good start:
monday: one arm dumbell snatch 4x4 barbell snatch pulls 5x3 front squat 5x3
wednesday: one arm dumbell clean 4x4 barbell clean pulls 5x3 back squat 5x3
Friday: practice snatch and cleans with barbell (every week ill take her through a progression, allow her to get 'good' at snatches/cleans form the hips, then knees, then eventually full) push presses 10x1 pullups 3x10
Nolan Allen
your planning to have girls on the side? thats cheating!
Gavin Nelson
what did we say to you two about loli posting at the start of the thread.
Jose Parker
:s
he should just give me his steam
Logan Clark
>pretends to not bully lolis >cheats on them instead you dirty hypocritical pervert I knew you liked to abuse them.
Logan Smith
sorry sir, i will start posting relevant pictures now
Joshua Anderson
You may only reply to this post if your country has won a gold medal in weightlifting at the olympics within the last 10 years. Not so fast RUS and KAZ.
John Anderson
Fuck off durkz.
Camden Ortiz
God fucking damn it's actually hard being the best country on earth.
We just cuck the living shit out of everybody without even meaning to.
Every time I post on a board that shows flags people get so assblasted when they see my alpha Canadian flag.
It's like, I'm not trying to make you mad, I'm just way better than you, sorry.
Parker Hall
are pic related a huge meme or legit?
Samuel Flores
they're good shoes, but unreasonably expensive and thus not worth it is what I heard
Brandon Brown
>no sizes over US 10 except custom fug. yep.
Owen Perry
what are some good budget friendly competion/ training style bumper plates?
Henry Walker
So i've been struggling with the links and sites and whatnot provided but I just cant seem to come across a simple begginers routine explaining at what weight I should start, how much should I increase at what pace and what days and excersises to do in said days.
Could anyone help me out?
Nicholas Fisher
For snatch and clean and jerk you should do a period of just the bar or drills for technique
and while you are doing that you can do a strength program seperately
Chase Morris
????????????
Jordan Cox
I made this
Isaiah Davis
that's what i said
Josiah Miller
Canada is the biggest cuck country in the world and it's a police state filmed with tumblr femnazis male feminists female to male transitions and mental illnesses abound. Not to mention Ontario is the cuck capital of the world. You should be disgusted you live in such a pussy country.

@deliugee
What equipment do they use in china, zkc or dhs?
Wyatt Richardson
first time back lifting in a month 40kg snatch felt heavy 60kg form breakdown couldn't even OHP 70 for 5 end my life senpaitachi
Eli Hall
all kinds in shandong they had zkc and dhs, as well as a local company taishan in shanghai they had zkc, but most of the plates are from a local company called china botou so nothing specific it's all equipment after all nat team has a mix of different iwf approved, from eleiko to zkc to dhs to locals really doesn't matter what you use as long as it's useable
Evan Moore
Thanks was asking because im looking for some equipment and with all the volume their discs take, I assume theyll hold up well.
Im looking at dhs, zkc againfaster, getrxd, basically any comp/training bumper plate that will hold up and not demolish my wallet. thanks again
Juan Garcia
dhs are nice apparently the zkc plates aren't that great in the long run but the bars are nice
also don't use the volume to determine the durability of the equipment, if they're a government sponsored team they can just buy new equipment when it breaks
if i were you i'd get a nice bar then a bunch of cheap training plates
Ryder Evans
I am looking into getting the again faster competition bar, its 20kg, iwf spec, 10 needle bearings, 264k psi. (300usd shipped) ...... Thoughts? I'd buy eleiko, but $1049.00 for comp and $870 for training. :(
Disc wise I'd like something that'll hold up and is worth while. Steel hub, IWF spec.thoughts?
Reccomendations?thx
Carter Morgan
How do I gain shoulder flexibility/mobility?
nightmare mode: WITHOUT fucking up my shoulder
even god damn fucking SHOULDER DISLOCATIONS made my right shoulder hurt like an absolute bitch, and that's like the most elementary stretch in existence at this point I feel like I'm fated to never properly be able to snatch
help
Owen Anderson
If I never do snatches, is there a reason to do snatch grip deadlift over conventional and/or clean grip deadlift?
Austin Turner
start small and work up slowly, dont rush into too narrow on shoulder dislocate
do this too
good for upper back strength
Blake Russell
Canada won gold in the last 10 years?
Landon Jenkins
t. assblasted amerifat looking up at the greatest country on earth
Nicholas Jones
LSUS is for advanced lifters like Kendrick who already have a base of both technique and strength. While strength and hypertrophy should be part of your program as a beginner weightlifter, your main focus should be learning the lifts and solidifying technique. Pendlay wrote an article recently which said regardless of your experience level, your program should be about half snatch/clean/jerk/variants, and half strength work.
Isaiah Rivera
>tfw you will never go to a crossfit gym and shit on twinks and fuccbois like Clarence Glad he's back though.

I have a pair of risto Oly shoes I use for my squats and power cleans, reasonably priced and a pretty damn good shoe, the heel is a touch higher than other brands though
Gavin Smith
Oh wow, we finally scared her off?
Dylan Sanchez
It's coming for me too, hurt knee two months ago, slowly coming back, physio said no squatting until he is happy with my knee
At least I'm playing hockey this weekend ;_;
Colton Taylor
Odds are you are just generally inflexible and immobile
Maybe in the special olympics Because that's where all canacucks participate
Juan Harris
one thing about assistance work and beach muscle work. atm i do 3/4 sets of 20 bodyweight dips and pullups, next week i'll add 10kg and try to get a 3x20 with that weight added. is this too low intensity? i do them once a week, i also pushpress and press heavy once a week
Brody Evans
