Made a PR 136 c+j yesterday, which gave me a PR 241 total. Also hit my best front squat double (150kg) for 6 doubles. Competition lifts aren't dialed in as I've been in a hypertrophy and strength block, but really excited to focus on them over the next 6 weeks. If all goes well, 115/140 will be my third attempts.

holy fuck this picture made me laugh these fucking 'brainy' lifter personalities that make lifting weights out to be this super duper scientific brainy thing in order to have shit to say when making their youtube video or sell their book

The clean and jerk/snatch are not bench press.

Any webm request?

just did some snatchs and oww my wrist hurts, especially when gripping the bar. time to buy straps? lu xiaojun's best lifts
>two snatch sessions in a day bout ready to collapse now
Jack Myers
Bullshit, there's no reason lifters shouldn't be doing some variation of the lifts every day. Also two days of squats, are you a fucking normie or something?

Well geez go ahead and destroy ur body for a dying sport! Hope you can still walk after 5 years.
Jk but srsly unless you're on a national level, 5 sessions a week is plenty
Charles Nguyen
Are you talking about Zack "hungry skelly" Telander?
There are plenty of good weightlifting coaches in crossfit, even Klokov and this dude give seminars but they have tens of thousands of boxes all around the world so obviously most teachers will suck especially since most of them are only level 1 certified. Doesn't mean there's no talent being discovered from crossfit and eventually transitioned into oly lifting.

How much will not doing front squats stop me from progressing my lifts? I absolutely hate front squats and am thinking about just doing back + overhead variations.
Landon Jenkins
Dude's 225lbs
Isaac Gray
If you hate a movement you should probably doing much more of it
Nathaniel Ward
If you want to have any substantial improvement in your technique, you should be doing some variation of the lifts every session. And people should be squatting at least 3x a week, if not more, even if you're a casual.
Olympic lifting is more popular with casuals now more than ever thanks to crossfit. Also, nobody respects powerlifting outside of the strength training community, because it's a low sport for mongoloids.
Should I do starting strength before getting into weightlifting to have a solid base? Maybe with cleans instead of deadlift or something?

Powerlifters don't look like atheltes, I think it discourages a lot of people. Powerlifting meets are also boring af
Angel Robinson
Starting strength has power cleans you brainlet, buy the book
Lincoln Price
They look like strength athletes. Plenty of Weightlifters in the heavier classes look like absolute butterballs.

>400lb butterballs throwing hundreds of kilos overhead and standing up
One is a much more visually entertaining sport
Thomas Ortiz
I know, I mean like is doing another sort of clean (or snatch?) exercise instead of deadlift better for wanting to get into weightlifting? Ive heard people here say deadlift doesnt have much carry over
Camden Perry
Because he's like 6'8. He should be into the 280s at his height. Therefore, he's a skellington
going for maxes wednesday. Given this is 75kg, do u guise think i could hit 80? even 85?
Ethan Turner
Do you guys have any recommendations for cutting while learning the Snatch and C&J? Aside from CICO, I'm wondering if there's anything you guys did that you saw good success with. Thinking of just tacking some conditioning onto the end of my workouts.
>t. fatfuck
Jason Jenkins
Looked easy dude. I think you could do 85kg if you try
Tyler Sanchez
You can make linear progress on the lifts while cutting, considering it will mostly be technique, not strength, that holds back beginners (assuming you have a base of strength).
Yeah, that's sort of why I figured now would be a good time to cut. I'm still going heavy on some lifts (push pressing and squatting mostly), but since there's a lot of technique stuff I figured things wouldn't be too bad.
Henry Butler
No, just make sure your coach isreputable
Brayden Reed
I learned and trained oly lifts at a crossfit gym for a few years and it was fine. There was some of the typical shitty crossfit stuff there, but they had legit olympic lifting training times all week as well. Check USAW's website for gyms near you with certified coaches and then maybe look into their website too if you can. Only reason I left that gym was due to moving states

4th week of an intermediate program when I got sick after spending the weekend in the city. Coughed so hard last weekend that I think I have myself a hernia. Not sick anymore but can't donshit without my bladder feeling like its poking out near my left hip crease. Wtf Veeky Forums why me...
conventional deadlifts have plenty of carryover but you could be doing clean deadlifts, snatch deadlifts, clean pulls, snatch pulls, pulls from the knee and so on, or better yet actual snatches and cleans
Hudson Thomas
looked pree easy should probably keep your back tight tho
Luis Brown
Why haven't you done your tricep extensions today?
> I wouldn't recover enough. All sessions would just pretty much suck.
What are your stats? 101/125 + 157.5kg back squat here

is it worth it to pay 225$ for romaleo 3s? I've worn the 2s and heard the 3s wear out quicker but I'm set on them. Problem is they're all sold out and can only find them for 200+.
Carson Perez
ok guys, serious question. Am i the only one who sometimes punches his dick + nuts with the bar when doing snatches?
I get this shit coming down or on a deadlift but thats because im fat and the pubis juts foreward. The more weight i lose, the less it gets in the way. Down 25lbs and it barely happens now
