How do you keep your shoulders over the bar without falling in front?
Isaac Cook
snatch or c&j?
Luke Davis
Both, I think. Literally every weightlifter I've met has said to start and stay a bit more over the bar.
Robert Moore
>Inb4 blueshits comes and ruins thread.
Ass back more so center of gravity is pushing through heels. Your shoulder blades should be over bar, so the back of your Delts will line up with bar.
Landon Perez
what to do against passing out in the clean? like, I never COMPLETELY passed out, but there were some moments where everything went black and it was a miracle that I kept standing
Zachary Brown
By changing your torso angle and the position of your hips to redistribute the weight. So, butt back, torso closer to the ground. Keep the chest 'stretched'.
Josiah Gonzalez
1) Breathe 2)Keep the bar off your carotid artery
Blake James
Don't worry, once school lets out he'll be here
I have Position 2.0s and I love them. Honestly any shoe with a .75 heel height or higher will probably be fine.

>I have Position 2.0s and I love them.
ur a fucking shill and u dont even cant snatch a 20kg
Nathaniel Hill
I mean I'm pretty DYEL, but I snatch 65kgs (dat dere lack of overhead mobility), clean and jerk 100kgs, front squat 138kgs and back squat 148kgs at 82kgs bodyweight. Not quite a 20kg snatch, but yeah.
Nicholas White

What should I do to increase my drive for the jerk? And my dip isn't significantly high, otherwise I sacrifice some tightness in my shoulders and back.
John Harris
Lock in, dip, and fucking EXPLODE YOU PUSSY FUCK
Like with timing trap engagement and extension in the pull, you need to time shoulder engagement--actively pushing the bar from the rack--with the end phase of the dip extension. Maintain control of the bar at all times. You need to always be working against the bar.
Isaiah Clark
I just said I like the shoes, wasn't aware that you need a significant total to recommend shoes
go home blueshoes
Godelli is a good lifter though, even if he is a dirty cheat
Brayden Morales
jerk drives, front squats
Jacob Baker
Blue Romaleos 2
Logan Taylor
you think he is a good lifter based on his shoes though
Logan Martinez
I think Godelli is a good lifter based on his shoes? Are you retarded? He's a lifter because he's medaled at worlds. Retard.
Lucas Rodriguez
hi trappy
Jaxson Hall
til thinking Godelli is a good lifter makes me a brazillian dyel tranny
Robert Turner

Sebastian Lee

Andrew Edwards
everyone already knows this, stop posting it here bringing more attention to this degenerate
Carson Barnes
nice snatch
Xavier Howard
HA!
Joseph Peterson
Apparently Liao Hui is coming out of retirement for Tokyo
Thomas Carter
you guys need better mobility
Jackson Martin
I'm seriously not trappy, I'm literally posting from my bed in Dallas right now lmao. I hate trappy just as much as the next guy, honestly didn't think it could get much worse on /owg/ until blueshoes showed up.
Eli Howard
I have pretty good mobility though
Nathan Brooks
Was on a powerlifting routine for 16 weeks. Want to add some olympic lifts like cleans.
What days do you guys do them on? Like with squat, deadlift, bench, and OHP, where the fuck do you fit it in?
Austin Smith
Do you know where you are son? What makes you think people here actually lift, let alone lifts that don't contribute to weightlifting like deads and bench?
Cameron Martinez
Face of an autist who bought into meme shoes
Top lmao
Leo Ross
>making this big of a deal about shoes
are you sure you're not the autist
Carson Nelson
For that much money you could've purchased adipowers or romaleos, you know, reputable shoes from well-known, longstanding shoe making companies. But you decided to be a meme and buy meme shoes
Gavin Cook
>bench for warmup >squat ohs on clean day fs on snatch day bs on friday >diddy clean deatlift + clean pull on clean day >ohp nah but push press on friday
Samuel Miller
how 2 improve speed under the bar in the snatch and be snappy like this?
Christopher Edwards
keep pulling the bar up as long as possible
Michael Garcia
I've been power cleaning for a couple of weeks now. Started with just the bar and doing 60 kg 5x3 now. Filmed my form yesterday doing 50 kg, since I felt my rack position sucked. I see that I'm waay too slow on racking the bar. Any tips for this? Any other things I should do / not do?
Levi Davis

Brayden Butler

Gavin Morales
too slow didnt watch
Ian Stewart
1. you're starting from a deadlift position. stop that. power cleans start from a clean position. 2. up the weight, you're catching it almost without bending your knees at all. 3. you're supposed to pull yourself under the bar after you jump. you don't, you just bend your arms and that's it.
1 is the biggest error, but that's easily fixed. power clean is a pretty technical movement, if your gym has a PT worth a shit, ask him for some tips etc. or if your gym has oly faggots who know what they're doing, ask them.
Kayden Ward
Mobility in back squat is fucking easy to acquire let's see your overhead positions to judge mobility lads
Benjamin Cox
do cleans before squats or deads
clean + front squat is good synergy clean pull + repetition rdls will suffice for pulling (do ghrs or whatever as well, duh)
desu you prob dont have the mobility to do a proper clean, so just add in power cleans as a warmup to deads on whatever day they're on
Carter Howard
Could've also bought the same shoe without the massive strap and logo from strength shop for alot cheaper. It's basicslly the same shoe, same heel height and everything. Would wager same Chinese factory
For a beginner the things based on your videos you should focus on improving are: >Pull hips through harder, pretend you want to fuck the shit out of the bar. You are stopping as soon as your thighs hit the bar. Practice hip thrusts or pulls to improve on this. >When you catch it in the rack position, you are bending at the knees and not at the hips at all. After the pull, ass goes back and knees go forward to prepare for the catch, whether it be in a power clean or full clean position. What you are doing is some sort of weird muscle clean. Practice front squats to improve on this. >Drive elbows through harder. Practice just holding the bar with >100% weight you can front squat. Literally just holding it driving your elbows up.
Overall not bad for a beginner, your pull is probably the shittiest part. Just remember what drives the bar up is momentum, hips striking the bar, and the shrug. Thats why the bar shouldn't go in a straight line up. It should sort of orbit around your knees then strike your thighs and orbit around your chest (or head in the snatch's case).
Austin Phillips
