They max out snatch, clean and jerk, back squat and front squat EVERYDAY. The word "impossible" isnt used by weightlifters I don't mean to be inflammatory, but wasn't there a special set of bulgarians which were famous for doing this every day using some uh.. special substances? I don't think it is physically possible to recover properly otherwise edit: also holy shit thats a big snatch for someone your size 0.0 I managed to get 3x65 front squat recently which is a new for me, going to go for 72 backsquat soon Practising sets of 5x overhead squat with 20kg.. frickin impossible lol | ||

btw how old are u? update me on your progress when you have time! I didnt think there were oly lifters in TL other than the ones who post in the TL fitness thread. What does your workouts look like? Overhead strength will get easier once you get more flexible. Keep working at it! :D | ||

They are heavily tested (all year) and the gym has produced the top super heavyweight in the nation.

I didnt think there were oly lifters in TL other than the ones who post in the TL fitness thread. What does your workouts look like? Overhead strength will get easier once you get more flexible. Keep working at it! :D Im flexible enough (more than enough actually), they are just fucking impossible thats all hahaha My workouts are basically warming up with a broomstick Since atm im working fulltime (no time for oly lifting) i'm doing 1 snatch into 5 overhead squats (light weights! ofc) and doing 5 sets of that Then i'll work on either front of back squat building up to a 5rep max weight, going for 4 sets usually, sometimes 5 (depends how easy im building up) After that i'll work on benchpress or a dip/pullup mix So yeah, just the basic fundies atm with overhead squat If i were doing oly lifting id skip the overhead squats and just do snatches and C+J, and end session with benchpress and front or back squat I've never done anything more complicated than that (and i don't think i really need to) 1 repmax back is 70, front is 65 (though i did 3x 65 so i should be able to do more) Max c+j (havnt worked on it in ages) is 55 and snatch was like 30 or 35 (cant remember lol - i don't wanna do more snatch with heavy weights until i actually get my overhead squats good) Next time i get to a oly gym i should be able to do 60 C+J easily i think Main problem is for heavier weights i could powerclean but not normal clean it (i can fullclean 55 though) I'm 21 and hideously skinny, 5,10 height Heaviest person in my family, everyone else is <54, i'm currently 57.5 (gained 5kgs since exams wee), going for 60 (getting to 56.5 was easy, since then its almost impossible) Biggest difficulty i have is eating, i simply suck at it (sounds dumb i know) Basically force feeding myself 2.5k calories a day atm, and its really painful sometimes lol | ||

8/21/11 lifting rest diet I ate something bad yesterday and woke up around 7am throwing up(i think it was the yogurt). I didnt eat much throughout the day dinner rice, chinese broccoli, chicken (very small amount of food) seaweed snack cherries After reading a topic of the Chinese training system, I thought this will be a good time to evaluate my strengths and weaknesses in my training. snatch: 93kg clean and jerk:110kg back squat:160kg front squat:135 clean pull:140 snatch pull: ? Strengths -Good leg strength -Fast speed under bar -Good overhead strength Weaknesses -Very weak pull -Poor jerk technique (not getting bar behind ears) -some swinging in snatch and clean Fixes -more pulls! -technique work after workouts. -add jerk drives, back squat isos | ||
