/owg/ Olympic Weightlifting General

This is the best wrist straps I've used.

But I generally only use them for deadlifts. Can't tell you if they're good for C+J or snatch

Just get whatever is cheapest my man. I use a local brand one.

What do

Rice, Beans and Power Cleans

[wews in spanish]

I've been using SBD sleeves when lifting because that's what I used when regular strength training. But I'm interested in trying some knee wraps. I see Ilya, Rostami, Klokov and others wear them. Is there a difference? Obviously they're not as tight as powerlifters wrap their knees.

can you compete with this 20 year old?

I don't know if it's because I'm bisexual and as such I can accept "manly" features on a woman, but Lydia looks so fucking hot in this video. Perfect amount of thicc and feminine while still looking fit and strong.

>Dat bounce on powers

is it normal to clean as much as your max front squat...?

wew lad

>tfw didn't start lifting at all until 20
>tfw didn't start weightlifting until nearly 24
it's over for me, isn't it?

damn owg is still up n running, how is every1

competitive on a world level? yeah
national? probably
regional? maybe
local? you could do it

What if I'm from a small country which also happens to be really shit at weightlifting?

I guess you could try searching who's the top lifter in your country and at your category and see how you compare.

You're in the training hall and THIS woman slaps you on your ass. What you white boys gonna do about it?

kick her in her bad knee

I'd put it in her butt.

acually it was a hip injury ):

Anyone know who this is with Tian? His back is crazy

top level for state is literally nothing

dont you fucking dare mention my waifus name in this general without my permission ever again

Not sure, looks like Ding Jianjun, he's a 62kg but isn't on par with the likes of Zhang Jie and Chen Lijun though. He's more of a snatch specialist.

>ywn date Rebeka Koha

why live to be honest?

>mfw ywn know how she smells like

She's cute but ain't no Elena

>Elena
ayo who dat
I bet she no Julia Rohde.

But she's thicc tho

>julia is pregnant from strong handsome german weightlift
G-good.

yes it's very comfy you can keep them on forever and not lose mobility unlike knee sleeves that powerlifters use

...

Delicious chocolate

how is all that ass only 69kg

...

Yeah, I knew she was preggo. She even changed her last name last I heard. Good on her for being it with a German man.

How close are we to nudes?

>german nationalism on the rise again

It's over bros

What did she mean by this?

Somebody post the sticky I want sticky

>ywn never achieve barrel-mode

Lesbo Lydia would actually turn me on more than straight one, because at least I know no man gets to tap her
I think she is a little weird trying to be feminine when she is rather manly

I'm currently 184cms 78kgs. I want to bulk up to at least 94, maybe 105 down the road (in a decade or so). Mainly because I want to be able to snatch 140 and C&J 180. I also want to squat 260 for reps. A lot of 105s are doing these numbers, and even more at C&J. But I'm worried they're not natty.

Here are two lifters from Cal Strength. Wes Kitts senior 105 instagram.com/weskitts22/?hl=en

His lifts are pretty big and I want to reach "close" to that level.

Here's Dylan Cooper 105 junior also from Cal Strength.

instagram.com/dylancooper105k/?hl=en

I'm not American so I wouldn't know. Any Americans here familiar with California Strength. Are they natty? How long have these lifters been lifting. I'm 24 and started december 2016. Current 1RM backsquat 130kgs.

how old are you

Maybe she's really insecure?

Maybe all she needs to be charmed is a simple compliment on her hair or nails or that she wore a cute dress or whatever. You know, the little things.

Keep this in mind if you ever meet her, user.

"you have really cute toenails"

24. Wrote it at the end of the post. Sorry, should've written it at the beginning along with height and weight I guess.

I actually think so, she seems not very confident in her feminity and often posts photos that are like stereotypically feminine, Hello Kitty belt, cute dresses, but I think deep down she wants to be tall and thin like Karlie Kloss or something.
Lydia seems cute but she kind of seems really insecure as you said, weightlifting is also bad in some way just because you can not really be a pretty woman doing it, whenever you actually get to the top you have to let go of some female features and behaviours because you can't squat 140 kg at ~70 kg and look super cute and girly, I think the disparity kind of fucks her up. Having to be a woman and being good at man's sport is not easy. A lot of women probably find themselves in these situations, wanting to be female but also not wanting to let go of what they like doing.

yeah you did i should have read the hole thing i just asked as soon as i read your goals

i think it's possible you just have to dedicate yourself to it; if you go 105s i think it's definitely doable - espeically if you are thinking long term and are patient

Not that familiar but probably not. You won't be able to get to that level without exceptionally good coaching; OWL is largely technique followed by strength. By not starting younger you don't cement that sort of reliance on weightlifting either, but that's for the better.

Wes Kitts background is in American Football, Dylan started lifting rather young. That being said, 140Sn, 180C&J is not unreasonable for a natty 105; I'm sure you could do it, but without good coaching its going to be rough. Also you want to avoid getting injured at that age as it will pretty much put yourself out of service for a long time and you'll lose a lot of progress.

She is a fucking femlet

I'm currently being coached by a former member of the bulgarian national team. And I'm going to Bulgaria for two weeks this summer to train with some people there. One of the guys won bronze at Athens 2004 at SHW. I think with consistent nutrition and recovery I could do it. For my height I could fill out 105 without getting too fat.

I'm 183 at 95 kg and I think 105 is well within my reach within the next year and right now I think I am not that big so I think my bf could stay the same or go down even if I cut

Is Mattie Rogers a lesbian or what?

In my experience which is very anecdotal (only one gym) weightlifters are a bunch of pussies and cucks who never want to move actual weight but just see it as a lifestyle.

That's easy to do with gear.

whey protein is a known carcinogen. It's only popular because of the ridiculous amount of money thrown into marketing it. Avoid all dairy at all costs. Watch what the health on netflix

Le reddit here xdddd /r/unpopular_opinions amirite upboat

here's your (you) faggot

...

Didn't that come from that shill who made Cowspiracy? I'm sure it references the China Study too, it seems to be a vegan evangelist favorite. The dude who wrote it is only alarmed by their rat study on Casein and the fact that the Chinese are poor as fuck and use that to cite animal proteins as the reason that amerifats are dying. It couldn't be the multitude of other possibilities such as smoking, alcohol, fat composition in diet, asbestos in our insulation, processed ingredients such as nitrites, higher prevalence of open fire cooking resulting in PAHs/HCAs, red meats, and a multitude of bajillion other substances that cause cancer; heck, drinking hot coffee (kinda, it's a 2A class carcinogen, just like red meat) or standing out in the sun are carcinogens. Increased number of mutagens do not mean that you will definitely receive cancer; it's all statistical mechanics for you to get cancer. You can reduce the risk all you want but it only takes you to be unlucky to get a fucked up tumor. Adjusting the luck slider a little isn't going to buy you a significant amount of extra time.

Nothing against the vegan diet itself so as long as you can keep up the nutritional profile, but I'll stick with both animal and plant proteins.

It's none of those things, it's literally just a massively increased total energy intake.

Did you seriously just type that all out to a fucking low effort troll post?

Are you legitimately retarded?

Considering we are on Veeky Forums discussing Olympic Lifting waifus and how you would hypothetically court them, I'm not sure if we can make that generalization, user.

>ywn tuck into bed every night with Rebeka by your side

did they get to top level while vegan, or switch once they got there? hmmmmm?

You can't even pound the balloon knots of avg american college girls (literally so easy to pound that its less work than masturbating) what makes you think you could ever ever EVER be good enough to pound her balloon knot?

>Making nice progress on snatch
>More comfortable in the receiving position. Getting more mobile in the hips and ankles
>Shoulders loosening up too
>Then sick for two weeks, three sessions in 14 days, basically nothing
>Now shoulder pain is back and the regular stretches and warm up routines aren't working

Just as I'm about to head to a two week training camp. I will literally get wrecked.

...

I have a boner now, why don't girls dress like this at my gym

Who is the THICCIE in pink?

@cristina_bae4

Disappointing.

Shit I go to the gym where her father works. She occasionally lifts there too.

Awesome to see her progress. Have mired for a few years now

>tfw you will never clean more than 3pl8 because your wrists are too tiny

WHOA REAL OLYMPIANS? ON MY/FIT/?!

how long did you guys weightlift before going to the Olympics?
