My session yesterday was shite. Front squatted 127 yesterday and missed 138. My all time PR is 142, so I was pretty pissed. Warm ups on snatches were shit, so I just called it quits. Fuck snatches, man.
fuck off back to plg

dumb question, on receiving the snatch are you supposed to push out or push up?
Similarly, internal rotation at the shoulder for a better overhead position?
Nicholas Ross
just catch it and stand up lol
Nolan Price
Whenever I'm having an off day I just switch over to some gpp movements. I hope you didn't just leave the gym at that point.
Did 5x3x1 on FS, and then shoulders. Deloaded a bit to work a form issue I noticed but ended with a pause squat at 140
Also I did some ring work as my core workout for the fuck of it and god damn that shit is fun
Benjamin Green
that's not complex enough to feed my autism
Joshua Rivera
internal rotation in the catch is stronger IMO. it helps for me to think up.
I did 10x2 speed squats with 50% EMOM and tried to max my deadlift to no avail
>tfw I can back squat more than my deadlift
Adam Richardson

No one has mentioned that Russia and China got banned for a year from jnternational competition.
Jacob Bennett
Why dont they just go ahead and ban everyone
Luke Watson
North Korea will still compete meaning this guy will still get some Krillin lifts
Jordan Lopez
You guys doing bulgarian or something?
Nicholas Butler
Does anyone have a link to Tian Tao's lifts at the last Olympics?
Caleb Cruz
I don't think Bulgaria have been banned this time.

Jaxson Morales

Robert Ward
>that webm I'm going to assume these were three easy reds?
Jack Harris

Robert Flores
The judging was off at the olympics evidently, she was given 3 whites.

Ryan Morgan

Anthony Thomas
Mock meet on Saturday. Hope I don't bomb.
Justin Garcia
78kg lol, been lifting for 2 years, but only just started weightlifting so feels wierd being so weak again
Leo Reyes
mock meet means nothing though
Chase Reed
Anyone got any good stretches for a great front squat I can do often throughout the day wth no equipment?
I already do a lot like lower body, butchers block, t spine, wrists etc, just wondering what you think would be very beneficial to stretch multiple times throughout the day.
Any good upper stretches for a more comfy rack position without equipment?
Grayson Torres
>5x5 90% nice bait
Carson Cooper
my program called for no feet snatches up to 80%. Could only get up to 70
Ethan Myers
That angle literally doesn't help one bit, her feet are in the way.
Dylan Cruz
Push press, lateral raises, dumbbell presses, bench, rows. I would do pull ups but I'm a lazy fuck.
Ayden Lopez
I gave up deadlifts this week
It's like saying goodbye to a lifelong friend
Clean is coming along really nicely though.
Brayden Phillips
Yeah, I've gotten to the point where my lower back can't really handle max effort deadlifts in addition to squatting and the lifts. It kinda sucks, I miss it sometimes.
