Also does anybody know why china wasn't represented in the 77kg class in Anaheim?
Daniel Evans
the same reason they werent represented in any of the other classes perhaps????
Michael Cook
>mfw Ilya will be back this year
Ryder Long
Tell me why I don't know the reason, I'm new to weightlifting. Are they getting cucked by china's politics? I just realized that I mistook some woman in the 58kg women's categroy for a chinese lifter when I saw it a couple weeks back.
How the fuck can I stay more upright during squats or am I fucked, because my femurs are long ? How can I isolate my glutes? My glutes are too weak compared to my hamstrings.
Check out this video. It might give some more answers. Max is a weightlifter of 13 years experience and is now a powerlifting and weightlifting coach. Chad is a powerlifter and powerlifting coach and has squatted over 900lbs I think.
Mason Butler
The whole upright in squats is a fucking meme, only chinks under 5’8 can maintain that form. Your body naturally wants to use its hips to lift the weight. Tbh your squat looks p good to me, if you really want to work your glutes you could try doing low bar squats Mark Rippletoe style.
Thomas Flores
Hey guys the Everett books in the sticky can't be downloaded, they've erased the file
Any suggestions where to look for them and where to get a beginner program?
Elijah Howard
I was thinking about writing a beginner routine for owl that’s basically SS, how does this look guys?
Aday Low bar squat Power snatch ohp
Bday Front squat Power clean Bench press
Cday Low barsquat Power clean Power snatch Ohp
Jaxon Bailey
Thanks brahs. I'm gonna check that video out. I actually started out with rippletips' squats, which is why I still have the hip drahve reflex.
Jace Rodriguez
>low bar squat into the trash it goes
William Martin
Looks really good, much better than last time. You're definitely upright enough. I've found anecdotally that I stay much more upright in my back squats by doing a lot of front squats. I like a 1:1 ratio. I never squat-morning anymore, and it's done wonders for alleviating back pain. I wouldn't worry about any muscular imbalances, considering you're only squatting 80kg for a 5x5, I'd say it's highly unlikely you're at the point where you're developing major muscular imbalances. Just keep squatting, you don't want to fall victim to analysis by paralysis.
Parker Gomez
why the fuck would you low bar squat if you want to train the olympic lifts. Is that you, Mark?
If you're serious about learning olympic weightlifting, you need to include overhead squats, drop snatches, snatch balances, and the full lifts. It's not efficient to just train powering everything and assume you'll just start catching weights lower. This is coming from somebody who powers all their snatches because they're too lazy to do full snatches with lighter weights.
that arm bend is brutal, mang can't imagine the power you're leaving on the table with that get someone to hit you with a stick everytime you start w that
Ryan Perry
beginner program is on his site i have the book somewhere on my drive i'll try and post it when i'm not mobile
Jacob Peterson
Caladan posted his beginning routine at the start of this year, search the archives or wait for him to post it again. For the books: buy them or hope some user is generous and shares it.
James King
i can scan takano's recommendation for a beginners routine if you'd like but you'll have to wait until tomorrow

>low bar squat >bench press >doesnt actually include the full classical lifts this is a joke, right? tell me this is a joke
Jaxson Reyes
Any downsides to using a belt?
Jose Flores
I hit lmao2pl8 snatch today. how long until 3?
Colton Nguyen
You get a weak core, if you are too reliant on it. If you need lifting gear you aren't ready for the weight you are attempting to lift, your stabilising muscles need to be trained as well. I despise powerlifting for that reason alone. Also >tfw no olygf
Eli Gray
if we're thinking of the same thing I only posted a casual routine for athletics, not for wl
if you wanted a beginner routine there's not a lot of point working off percentages, just focus on the classics
something like
1: sn, pulls 2: sn and cj form, squats 3: cj, pulls 4: jerk form, front squats 5: sn, cj
bb and core every day
Until your form is a lot better there isn't much point to a detailed routine
Colton Rodriguez
He's obviously making a base for Oly. Heavy deads will cause needless recovery demands
Julian Evans
>If you need lifting gear you aren't ready for the weight you are attempting to lift True to an extent, but I spoke with a very accomplished pler recently and he explained that lifting gear is indispensable for training. E.g. wearing a belt takes a load off your core so you can overload your legs. Then you remove the belt later on, and now your legs are more than strong enough so you can focus on core development. Although I agree they shouldn't be allowed in competition.
Who said anything about deadlifts? Classical lifts refer to snatch and c&j. Also, learning the power variations first is a terrible way to learn oly
Juan Nguyen
so basically never use a belt is what you're saying? that's stupid as hell. it's fine to use belts for 85-90% attempts.
Aaron Sanchez
>making a base for oly
this is stupid
as long as you know how to brace and the belt doesn't interfere with lifts, I don't see much of a problem. Purists will say never use one but it helps me

As u may kno i tore tissues in my elbow snatching 140kg but today i squatted 600lbs 272kg
Andrew Peterson
how r u always injuring urself like this and still pushing all this weight? didn't you rip ur meniscus in half like a year ago? wth
That's probably about as upright as you're going to get. Just pay attention to where the weight is distributed on your feet. Your heels rise every time you go into and out of the hole. Might be a technique issue, might be a mobility issue. Given that you're a beginner and that buttwink, it's probably a bit of both.

How’s this look for a beginner routine ?
A day Full Snatch work Front squat Ohp work
Bday Jerk work Clean work Lowbar squat
Why would you not build a base for owl?
Mason Martinez
Clarence isn't doing low bar there. That's not how he normally squats, it's form breakdown because he's tired from 5x5 pause atg squatting over 500lbs every day for a week, with a pulled hamstring
Ian Garcia
He should just be low bar squatting then if he’s butchering his high bar squat. Plus maybe he would save his knees from exploding more.
Adrian Reed

do SS and do clean pulls instead of deadlifts and full cleans/snatches instead of power cleans.

Try to do a leg extension against the floor to keep from using your hams too much.

so i really want to start learning oly lifts but i go to a commercial gym and they dont have platforms and you cant drop stuff. There are also no good gyms in my area besides crossfit gyms where you pay 300 bucks a month and i dont want to pay that just to use their gear. Currently im saving up to buy some of my own stuff but in the mean time what are some good things i can do in my shitty commercial gym? Ive been running strength program up to 400 ish squat 500 ish dead, should I just keep improving on these? Is it worth it to switch to high bar squat too? (currently squatting low bar for more weight but i can do high bar fine, have oly shoes as well.)
Jonathan Myers
>is it worth it to switch to high bar squat too yes and there are seriously no gyms with bumper plates and proper bars besides the crossfit gyms?
Dylan Anderson
yes i live in suburbs and the only options are big commercial gyms, crossfit gyms (some have good gear but you pay the monthly fee which includes all the classes or whatever so its expensive as fuck), or complete meme zumba tier gyms

Rip knees
Chase Green
Maybe your knees would be healthier if you switch to lowbar for a lil and hope that cartilage regenerates. Maybe opt for more muscle variations of the classics.
Levi Evans

Christopher Bennett
Clarence Kennedy's squat form is nothing close to model- he squats that way to accommodate exploding his knees multiple times. Just because one internet meme lifter squats a certain way doesn't mean it's what everyone ought to do.
Isaac Clark
focus on keeping thoracic spine extended, especially in front squat, and quads loading through the eccentric, firing through the concentric.
William Long
if ur knees hurt from 'high bar' squatting ur doing the movement wrong

Whenever I'm at the top of the snatch or overhead squat, I get an awful pulling pain on the inside part of my hand going from the wrist to about half way up to my thumb. I don't think it's my grip either because my right hand and wrist are fine. Also at the top of C&J it's all good. Possible causes lids?
Brandon Reyes
That would be all good bud if I even had knee issues ;)
