I asked this on the previous one but it was dying so I didn't get any answers: If I want to grow my chest for aesthetic reasons can I do GVT for bench on top of a light wl program?

yes

Stop user

It didn't even reach the bump limit

Lads, how long did it take you to get the hang of the lifts? Had my first coaching session this week, and the pt said that it took him 2 months (and he's a big guy). How often would you recommend seeing a coach? He gave me some advice for now and said that if I see him and he is free I can ask him to form check, etc.

Took me 3 min

Clean

it takes me like 3 seconds to do a hang lift.
depending on breathing and if my grip needs adjustment.
shouldn't take too much longer for a hang lift opposed to floor...

>powers

I’m learning to get under still, can’t you just do powers until you have to dive under ?

at 93kg clean you should be able to get under
if you're more comfortable doing that then it's not a huge deal, but defo work on getting under more.

>getting any training advice from a dude who claims to have mastered lifting in 2 months

not even being ironic or unrealistic when I say go no contact on him immediately if u want to do things the right way

Did I say mastered, I just said the hang of it... Plus I've seen him lift, he's good. He even admitted he cannae clean that good, so he definitely isn't claiming to have mastered the lifts.

Anyone use a narrow grip in the snatch? Are there any cons besides having to pull the bar higher? Right now I practice technique with 40 kgs and it really makes my hands hurt between the thumb and the index finger. I have tried releasing the hook grip and that doesn't seem to help. I feel like the pain is holding me back. Maybe my wrists aren't flexible enough for such a wide grip?

You're full blown retarded. But that's just from the perspective of somebody who's been in weightlifting for 4 or 5 years.

It takes about a year if you're getting coached 4 days a week by an international caliber coach and you're naturally athletic.

Read the thread I forgot my shoes.
Now plz halp

shutup u faggot roidmonkey paki shitnigger

on snatch you brought your hips to the bar instead of bringing the bar to your hips and thus you banged it off the hip and it was left out forward on snatch

check the bar path in slow 1/4 speed it arches away from you and you are left in an unstable position

same issue on clean but to lesser extent

Fuck man, so I basically had it? Shit I might get 100kg pretty soon.

joocy
ur hearts gonna asplode tho

>can feel my carpal tendons rubbing together and popping in my left hand as i turnover the snatch
fuck off body

up up QT > both of those whores

Wrong

The classic lifts are lifts that you improve over your entire lifetime. "getting the hang of" depends on the individual and their starting mobility, flexibility, coordination, and athleticism. Also their dedication to training. So anywhere between 6-12 months to get beginner level comfortable/confident with the technique.

How do I fix this? Just keep practicing vertical bar path?

Been lifting for a year and a few months now. I still can't snatch to depth but I think it's mostly due to already ingrained movement patterns. I'm bad with foot placement and wrist turnover during the catch. I can pull pretty decently. Max snatch is 70, could easily snatch 80 if I clean my technique up and get full extension and proper catch.

Clean is alright but extension could be better. I can power clean 100 if I was more precise (due to catching the bar pretty high). Current clean max is 100 but I have room for about 10 or 20kgs more. Jerk is still shit. Coach wants me to both keep my back straight but not do the cue that I need to keep my torso straight when driving for the jerk. Really inconsistent. Max jerk is 95kgs.

Long story short I still fucking suck lmao

how much do you squat

that's the best suggestion I could reccomend

120/140

I'd say you're probably pushing somewhat close to the end of that strength reserve

cause you can pretty much always clean and jerk what you can front squat for a triple atleast as a general rule

I will never contradict what anyones coach tells them to do but I'd imagine once your tech gets to where he is momentarily satisfied he will run a strength cycle on you cause if you can only front squat 120 at maximal effort your clean and jerk wont be much higher

Do you guys find that breaking the floor in deadlifts is much easier since you guys do so many pseudo deficit pulls?

Haven't done a lot of strength work lately. Just lower intensity stuff at 80% doubles 85% doubles and 90% singles. I train bulgarian and coach was on the bulgarian national team.

I'd really prefer a block dedicated to hypertrophy and strength because I've stalled and regressed quite a bit already. Had my best lifts in late December and haven't gotten back to it yet.

No because the deadlift is a different exercise with a different starting position/levers and a much larger weight. My max clean pull is still 40 kilos below my deadlift.

yeah I fortunately have a strength background so I don't have to worry about building that for quite a while, I'm making noteable technical progress though with these cycles my coach has me on so I'm happy about that

I powersnatched 81 last saturday and clean and jerked 115 with a miss at 120 cause my dip drive was too short

I've got quite a bit more strength to put into those numbers lol

if its any indication how much strength I have left, this is the bar popping off my shoulders when I stood up a clean the other day, only 108 loaded but still

lmao just looking at that picture i can tell what a fucking spaz you are when you lift

>what did he mean by this

some of us actually squat more than 100kg so we can stand up weights really quickly and pop it real high at the top to adjust our hands

...

lol i just noticed whoever made this used the actual script from r:tw
it's those little details

>Knee health

hey /owg/
After moving to college, i went sedentary for a while (~1yr) after following a weightlifting routine.

started lifting again a couple months ago, doing mostly strength training with compounds and i'm nervous about my knees.

not sure if there's any signs of weak knees, but i occasionally get pain while squatting a certain way, and other times not. have any of you experienced this? any advice or wise words?

why would you though? my pop is about as high as my eyes maybee(?) and i can clean and jerk more than you
having it go that high for a "pop" looks spasticated like you have no motor control at all

Could somoeone show me how bulgarians do their progaming? Also how do you guys determine weather you need to implenet deficit varriations or rack varriations?

bulgarians train 12 times a week and do only classic lifts and squats you'd die doing it

But what about hitting a daily single for a given exercise ?

am i prototypical owler yet?

why is your core/trunk so thin/weak looking? get that shit thick to balance out the legs

My strength isn't that disproportionate. Having a ridiculously long torso + short legs just make it that way.

I'll need to bench more than my front squat to balance this shit out

I'll have you know that it was free in 10$/month gym

Looks fucking goofy

What am I?

How much u snatch/ cnj./ squat

My disc herniation frok football opened back up and is bothering me again after trying this gay shit out. Fuck weightlifting, fuck power cleans, fuck you crossfitters

admiring

125/100

Did you start off with just the bar or at very least 65lbs?

you're ready for cut season abe

I got fat from only 3 months of “bulking” and I’m consistently hitting PRs, it’s not fair.

How long does 100 snatch normally take?

About 2 seconds like all snatches

a bit longer if you're a weakling and get stuck at the bottom

Thoughts ?

Chest, legs, and reps

Uhhhhh

Your ass rises too much

dumb unless you have both a coach and are already very proficient in the lifts.(which none of you are)

Give me your best core excercises

weighted planks and hanging leg raises

Are you a lightweight manlet? Probably four years.

Are you a 6'2 220lbs former athlete? Two weeks.

Do you have a person put weight on you for the planks or do you manage to put it on yourself? The weight goes over your hips and not your upper back, correct?

Max squat today lads. Wish me luck. I'll report back in a few hours.

i just ask whoever is in the gym when i do them
and yeah hips

Good luck

What changes can I make to this?

I didn't make it.

What are your stats? Unless you snatch >1.25x bw, you should have more variation. More lifts from knee, from blocks, without feet and so on.

But specificity is key.

what did he mean by this

I bet u look like Kelvin Gastelum
