hey pas what was wrong with your hip when you couldn't lift for like a year asking for a friend :^)
Leo Peterson
idk, it just went away after a while something to do with SI joint i think
Matthew Parker
ye did you rehab it at all? how long were you out of action
Landon Hall
ye, i did everything i could find related to pain around there and tried relearning squatting technique, idk what if anything helped it in the end 6 months i think, id recommend him just stick to his training plan and whenever theres any kind of bad feeling change or skip the exercise causing it
Evan Gutierrez
thanks wasn't actually asking for a friend btw, I just have had hip pain for a couple months and can't maintain lumbar extension under load
Thomas Richardson
:) maybe stop trying to maintain lumbar extension
Michael Bell
Where the sticky stuff
Juan Garcia
If I snatch at my hips, my wrists eventually start hurting from having my grip too wide and my hands bending inwards. If I snatch at my upper thigh, my wrists don't hurt since my arms under the bar are closer to perpendicular and can support the weight better, but it's harder to bring the bar up compared to hip snatching. What do I do?
Mason Smith
bend arms
Jace Murphy
dont hyperextend ur hips dont sit so much get glutes firing
Lincoln Mitchell
ye been doing this annoying exercise where I grip a medicine ball between knees and thrust hips to full glute flexion
hoping it does the trick
Nathaniel Evans
>full glute flexion ????????????
Cooper Cruz
As opposed to extension.
Luke Walker
Today i talked wiht my new oly gym and i'll start asap. i haven't been so happy and excited in a damn while. OLYMPUS HERE I COME!!!
Benjamin Brown
I'll take a weightlifting course next month and see if I like it
Daniel Cooper

Hudson Perry

Luke Sanchez
CUMMING OUT OF MY DUCK AAAAAAAAAAAH
Carson Ross
i'm going for some records soon hehe
it'll be cutting it close though
Eli Reed
Retarded question : do you grip the bar in your fingers or your palm in the first and second pulls?
Gavin Rogers
stay strong commi
Xavier Butler
use hookgrip
Jason Gutierrez
As I get close to masters age, if I can't fix my creaky hips shall I just get strong as fuck and just get a beast power snatch?
Evan Nelson
Of course, but does the bar rest in the palm or in the fingers? As in do you let the bar rest in the base of your fingers, or above them more twowards the palm.
Isaiah Jackson
what's wrong with your hips and what have you done to fix it
Blake Richardson
i literally don't know why you'd waste any time thinking about this. as long as the thumb is hooked in nice and tight, it's fine. i've never thought about anything other than the thumb placement
Landon Johnson
Just very inflexible and I've had a lifelong imbalance in them making them twist slightly. Mobility is getting better so I think I will be ok. The biggest issue is I've ingrained a high catch because I didn't take things srirously when I started so when the weights get heavy I go back to powering which is counter intuitive.
Justin Green
Stop going heavier than you can do with the technique you want Do unilateral leg work Stretch
you can pay me later
Blake Perez
Pas what do you recommend for someone who can only train 3x a week
>inb4 find a way to train more than 3x a week
My biggest goal is to just get raw strength up, squat, pull, and build muscle.
going to restart oly lifting in like 2 weeks. havent had a set routine for months since i havent had time to commit. thinking of following pic related for routine. had doesnt gainz the the first time i did it, but i want to run at least 3 times a week and not sure where to work it in to maximize my gainz
Juan Cook
i also was thinking rest days where i dont hit the gym at all
Andrew Williams
what the fuck are you getting at?
are you implying that the bar might rest in the curl of your fingers and not touch your palms at all?
nigga, take the bar in your hand, tuck your thumb, and squeeze it tight. There's your grip.
Kevin Davis
What does the '+1' in 5x2+1 mean?
Julian Baker
solid lift today lads. I've been working beltless more and more, and I'm starting to get a lot better at it. finished with some clean pulls and front squats
Thomas Wood
2 reps of the first lift, 1 of the second.
so for clean & jerk; 2 cleans and 1 jerk
Bentley Reyes
5 means the amount of seconds it should take per lift. Twice plus 1 cuz your coach hates you
Camden Mitchell
something like week 1 mon sn/pull/press/bb wed sq/jerk dip or rack hold/core fri cj/pull/press/bb week 2 mon sn/sq/press/bb wed pull/core fri cj/sq/press/bb or m/w/f alternate sn/cj sq 2 days then pull 2 days or something press mon/fri bb and core reasonably often
Juan Long
The biggest issue is even with light weights I'm still catching high and riding it in. My body just doesn't allow me to move that way
Jaxon Barnes
catch high and riding it down isnt rly bad, you just need to smooth it out over time
Oliver Robinson
Did power cleans for the first time ever today. Tried with empty bar and 10s on each side. How do I get around the feeling that im going to launch the bar into my chin? Im getting too much action from my arms because I feel like I need to control the bar to avoid hitting my face.
Jason Adams
Gonna join weightlifting gym today. How fucked am I?
On a related note, should I get 3 times a week or 4 times a week membership as an untrained beginner?
SS is 3 times a week, but I don't know how weightlifting differs from strength training.
Sebastian Hill
Thanks.
I was thinking of day 1: cj/sn pull/another pull for highrep/all the rest day 2: snatch/front squat/another squat for higgrep/the rest day 3: snatch/cj/back squat/clean pull/the rest
then next week switch them and do
day 1: sn/clean pull/another pull/the rest day 2: clean/back squat/another squat/the rest day 3: cj/snatch/front squat/snatch pull/the rest
The opposite kind of pull is done as the lift on that day so you practice the pull more often. Seems reasonable.
Not sure I'll do regular press heavy because of shoulders. I'm comfortable doing push press however.
Ian Watson
I tried this and didn't really enjoy it felt way better when I put squat/fs on non-classics days and put classics/pulls together instead
Gabriel Sanchez
id prefer doing the same pull as the lift i just did overall it doesnt really matter as long as you sn/cj squat and pull
Leo Perez
I'm v smooth now with 70-80ish% just gotta get quicker under and as tspine flexibility gets better should stop me missing bigger weights... Shoulders tend to round over in the bottom when it's heavy
Also bodyweight has finally filled out to 105 which is real fucken neato
Easton Hernandez
>owg >Olyboos weightlifting general
Jonathan Stewart
Due to shoulder problems, I can't bench press. Would split jerks be a good replacement for them? I just unrack it from the squat rack. I have been lifting for about 3 weeks, doing A: Overhead Press 3x5x75 Front Squat 3x5x165 Chin Ups 3x5x2.5 Rear delt flies 3x12x15 B: Front Squat 3x5 Cable Rows 3x8 Dips 3x5x2.5
Deadlift one day a week 3x2x240
All weights in lbs
I was doing Bench press on B, but once I get to around 150 lbs it makes my shoulders hurt. I have been using linear progression, no stalls yet. I weigh 170-175 lbs, and I ran starting strength about a year and a half ago, but havent lifted since. I tested my max for jerks the other day and hit 185 lbs, but didn't feel like I could go any higher.
Xavier Thompson
no fix your bench tech see a physio do rehab work
David Cook
I have no problem with any other exercises, it is only Bench press. Is Bench pressing absolutely necessary?
Aiden Roberts
Bb is what
Christopher Ward
Bb is what
Ian Ortiz
Not him but probably bodybuilding.
Mason Harris
What is your vertical jump /owg/?
Any of you test that for shits and giggles?
Jace Bell
Idk but I out jumped everyone at my gym but then again most of them were chubby people doing circuit classes
Can box jump to atleast my nips maybe my shoulders not tested properly for a while
I think my broad jump is more impressive
Hunter Nguyen
only use as much strength as you need to.
also, this exercise helped me learn how to use my arms and not pull too high.
