making great gains on a vegan diet now. Not gonna go back.
t. 78kg BW 112 sn/135 cj
Jaxson Thompson
Don't. I'm on a plant based diet too, and making the same gains as before. On the plus side i feel like i have more energy due to more carbs.
What is /owg/'s opinion on brush vs bang style? My coach is a bit nazi about the brush style (bar almost sliding along thighs and not making a contact sound at all or it's just a delicate sound). Really something like this: youtube.com/watch?v=zLiyvZOfA-s&t=154s
I feel like i have more control of the bar this way, but i also feel like it robs some power away because you use hips to a less extent
Then again with more bang i feel like the bar swings away easier, but i'm more snappy and get the bar higher, something like this: youtube.com/watch?v=muoqJ6FzpUk&t=35s
try pulling the bar in as soon as it leaves the floor and just focus on pushing with the legs and staying over the bar should result in a strong but smooth finish
the extra "power" you get from hip smash is making you inefficient in the long run
BUT CLARNACE CAN SMATCH AS 18I45 KG HEHE ME 2
Cameron Garcia
he's not back he's trying to cash in like the rest of retired soviet lifters that's trying get into youtube like klokov
Wyatt Allen
youtube.com/watch?v=PhSea6iyreM But It looks like Lasha is swinging the bar away just a bit, it's nothing big but it gives him a bit more fast turnover
Jason Bailey
he has only 350 followers and no english subtitles also >he's trying to cash in like the rest of retired soviet lifters that's trying get into youtube like klokov nothing bad or wrong
Hudson Ortiz
watch as they progress through the weights, the bar swings less and less
he also wears a belt and has a big belly of course the bar wont come as straight as vardanian's
so did torokhtiy and lapikov and berestov even klokoff when they first started. more money means they can start to afford to hire a guy for subs and editing
Austin Scott
>it's nothing big but it gives him a bit more fast turnover
having the bar swing does not give you a faster turnover lmao
Mason Stewart
I want to discuss teknik, not change it overnight
watch as they progress through the weight Well it tends to be like that when it gets heavier. But these guys are fucking tanks, they could just reverse curl the bar up if they really wanted. But they just make it look easy snatching for keks
Gavin Edwards
But it does. Like Greg Everett said: >Banging the hips into the bar in any fashion will increase your speed under the bar by allowing you to change directions faster
The snappiest lifters tend to do this, use lot of hips. Try yourself.
David James
>Greg Everett
is a retarded, look how many athletes are dropping from his team right now, he hasn't developed a proper lifter
i've been lifting for a long time and i can tell you banging the bar with your hips does not improve speed under the bar
So what you guys did / are going to do at the gym today?
I did
Drop snatch with jerk grip 50-60% of snatch Power snatch from blocks (under knee) 3x3x70% fence jumps Back squat 6RM
Andrew Howard

Daniel Garcia
how's jon doing nowadays?
David Moore
I NEED TO FIND A DISCIPLINE THAT UNITES OLY LIFTING AND GYMNASTICS, ATLEAST POWERLIFTING AND CALISTHENICS. IT'S BEEN YEARS! I WANT TO DO BOTH! AND NO, CROSSFIT IS SHIT.
end of rant
Brody Price
Oly lifting and gymnastics go nicely together.
Elijah Carter
>Oly lifting and gymnastics go nicely together.
I know, but I can't find a respectable routine
Caleb Baker
>routine You need programming, not a routine
John Russell
Still, it doesn't exist
Ian Harris
Why not get a coach
Aiden Hernandez
A coach in Olympic Gymnaslifting?
Henry Murphy
Oly coach + Gymnastics coach
Or just be a little crybaby and keep dreaming
Caleb Bell
Its too hard i tired it, your grip work will go to shit, and you'll feel taxed to shit. Right now im doing 90% bw training and one day weightlifting; clean+jerk, pause squat, and Romanian deadlifts. I do bench press, and cable rows 2x a week because they are a nice compliment to bw training.
Isaiah Brown
Your programming sucks. You program too heavy to your needs.
Isaiah Turner
jon's an obnoxious fucking noob
Hudson Ortiz
In one of his videos about a month ago he said his heart checkup wasn't good news. He didn't really elaborate on specifics but he talked about how he doesn't know how much longer he'll be around. Sad to see him have to deal with that shit.
Thomas Myers
I'm a noob still learning the movements but when I clean it feels like I'm landing on my toes and my balance is shitty. Any tips?
Oliver James
Slow pulls concentrate on keeping the balance on your whole foot

Go for training blocks you stupid fuck. Do gymnastic shit for a month, and take a month off and focus on Oly lifting, rinse and repeat.
Jayden Price

Samuel Taylor

Leo Miller
Man, I feel week. How are your guys numbers so high? >45kg snatch >70kg clean >55kg jerk
All while having a 140kg backsquat. I need a coach 2bh
William Wright
I'm also shit. 80 kg clean, 80 kg jerk. 125 kg back squat, 100 kg front squat. 75 kg BW. I also don't snatch.
Andrew Wright
nahhh fuck that noise, it would take too long to git good at either.
screw it, im done worrying about both. If i ever want to do oly again i got that one day to help me keep the groove intact.
Oliver Wood

Gavin Flores

Benjamin Smith
What happened to him?
Aaron Cook
>Ex-PLer here
So you spent years training how to move like a fat slug and now you wonder why you suck at explosive movements?
David Williams
your ratios aren't so bad. gain some weight and double your back squat.
John Wilson
Genetic heart defect. Something's weird with the electrical firing of his heart, which can cause the upper and lower chambers to beat out of rhythm, combined with his heart being structurally abnormal. This caused him to suffer cardiac arrest last year. He was apparently technically dead for like 20 minutes. Now he has a defibrillator implanted in his side.
Henry Turner
Dangers of steroids.
Anthony Myers
his dad had the same thing
he probably would have it even if he didnt roid
Isaac Rivera
sheeeet, what a bummer.
Julian Baker
it's not my fault noone introduced me to it
Dylan Jackson
How to git gud at squats. 3x5 only got me to 105 before I plateaued hard. I did a AMRAP program with back off sets that took me to 125 before another plateau. Now I've deloaded back to 100 and I'm planning on doing 5x5 -> 3x5 and seeing how far that gets me.
Brayden Davis
Looking to improve my front rack position, shit sucks and my wrist hurts during it.
What sort of warm ups and exercises do you do for mobility prior to your workout?
>haha look how much of a whore I am! haha my butt is hanging out of my whore singlet at a fucking WL comp!
I hate women
Levi Roberts
Having trouble being able to bring up my arms enough for the front rack position. My coach says it's due to thoracic tightness, do you guys do any stretches for that specifically? What works for you?
Zachary Gutierrez
Thanks user. Would wrist wraps help keep my wrist from hurting too?
Austin Adams
doesn't your coach not have any
if not why is he your coach?
Easton Harris
He taught me one, I was just curious what all you guys do.
Lucas Rogers
...
Lucas Rodriguez
watch the videos about front rack i just posted
you can also practice your cleans with straps to warm up. just go v light if u r weak shits
Ayden Diaz
can women for like
5 seconds
at anything
not be decrepit whores
where did it all go wrong
Owen Stewart
it's how they're wired
Elijah Hall
Stretching and shoulder mobility. Your wrist pain is most likely not even wrist pain. If your shoulders lack the mobility for the front rack position, your forearms stretch to make it work, which causes pain in your forearm tendons that you feel near the wrist. It's not the wrist at all.
Also rolling your forearms and just above the elbow with a lacrosse ball can help.
Wyatt Ramirez
so about that Sharia Law...
Luke Diaz
women were a mistake
Easton Cook
lmao. Good thing I dislike muslims too

Ryan Cruz
You started less than a year ago and came from powerlifting, right?
Practice the lifts and get better at moving. Hang cleans, hang snatches, drop snatches, drop jerks
Lincoln Rodriguez
More sets. You've tried 5x5. Now try 8x5. Only takes like ten minutes more and doesn't gimp the rest of your programming too hard.
Parker Wilson
I started two years ago. But spent my time really inefficently. >brosplit for 6 months >powerlifting for a year >didn't do the routine correctly and only got half as strong >and really fat >olympic weightlifting mixed in with powerlifting for 6 months while cutting More or less like this. I also had always shown an interest for olympic weightlifting during my powerlifting phase. But only recently decided to train it
So whenever I try to clean heavy, it just feels so slow coming off the floor that I panic and fuck the whole thing up. How do I get over this?
Joshua Morris
pretty fun video
Juan Peterson
you certainly dont get over it by failing over and over trying to be all bulgarian max out everyday but u r american with no proper base
stick to low-medium percentages then max out/compete every once in a while to check progress
maxing out and trying to go heavier the day before is how i fucked up my wrists and lots of other injuries that could have been avoided if i had a decent coach who actually cares instead of just FOLLOW MY PROGRAM I KNOW ALL ABOUT IT BECAUSE I USE TO TRAIN UNDER FOREIGN COACHES EVEN THO I DIDNT UNDERSTAND MOST OF WHERE THEY COME FROM
he was a shit lifter himself
yeah just lift lighter and focus on technique and slowly gain confidence, this sport actually takes years and years to get good at. no point in rushing trust me man
Joshua Howard
youtube.com/watch?v=Bn7yk-vdAD8 >you will never marry a weightlifting qt3.14 while surrounded by your world champion and olympic gold medalist best friends feels
Andrew Torres
>tfw no Bulgarian mentality
Benjamin Anderson
this is good advice
I used to try and max every day and I would get injured or burnt out frequently. I have realized now that training smarter produces better results than training harder.
Think of yourself running a race. While you're sprinting with maximum effort towards the finish line, your hamstring tears, and you end up hobbling, unable to continue. Alternatively you could have just jogged the whole way and ended up actually finishing.
This is an imperfect metaphor, but the general point is apropos. Weightlifting is like that race. You're not competing against anyone else but yourself - unless you choose to enter competitions, and even then you're still competing with yourself at the end of the day. You can try and finish as fast as possible, or you can take your time. The result will be the same, the only difference is when.
What you want to accomplish in the sport will probably change over time as well. When I first started lifting, I wanted to be able to dunk a basketball. I achieved that, and then got more into Weightlifting itself, so I wanted to able to snatch bw. Well, once I did, I wanted a 300kg total. Eventually my goal was to out-lift every woman in the world. I still haven't beaten Tatiana, and I still believe that I might someday, but now I am more focused on remaining injury free than anything else.
It is better to be consistent over a long period of time than to be overly intense for a short period of time. I would even extend that advice to many areas of life.
