Is this more for advanced Olympic lifters or is it a decent exercise for newbs like me? The opposite. When you start off, just increasing overhead squat will bring your snatch up. It gets less and less useful as you get better at the lifts. It's a necessary part of training if you squat jerk, some chinese dudes clean grip overhead squat more than they front squat. | ||

I suppose we just sit back here, keep quoting them, and use it as a learning experience. And take the information given to win real life arguments =p? | ||

It's like arguing with religious fanatics. You can't really win no matter what you say or evidence you provide... except this time we actually have evidence that shows they're wrong. Unfortunately, study bombing vegans is going to do absolutely nothing because a.) They won't bother reading the studies and b.) Even if they do read the studies, they're not capable of understanding the material in them because if they were, they would get off their insane vegan diets immediately. Honestly, it takes a serious brain defect to intentionally live a vegan lifestyle for health reasons. If you want to do so for personal morality reasons, then by all means go ahead; absolutely nobody can argue against your desire to live a vegan lifestyle because you feel the meat industry is screwed up. But, if you come preaching soy and grains--the two single worst staple food crops in the history of mankind--you deserve to be laughed out of our thread of carnivores.

1.) Sit back into the lift in a "between the legs" motion. 2.) Big chest, tight lower back and abs (do I need to stay tight under the bar the entire time?) 3.) Shoulder-width stance with knees tracking out in the same direction as feet are pointed in the descent. 4.) Go as low as flexibility allows. 5.) Look straight forward. Anything else? I've low bar squatted so long that I have this tendency to lean forward even in a high bar squat. | ||

Final workout plan designed for my goals: Day One: Stretch Power cleans: 10 singles with 5-6 of them heavy + warm-ups and technique work Back squats: 5 sets of 5 reps + warm-ups Overhead press: 3 sets of 5 reps + warm-ups Chin-ups: 3 sets of 5 reps Hyperextensions: 3 sets of 10 reps Stretch Day Two: Stretch Power snatch: 10 doubles with 5-6 of them heavy + warm-ups and technique work Front squats: 5 sets of 5 reps + warm-ups Dumbbell bench press: 3 sets of 5 reps + warm-ups Dead lift: 1 set of 5 reps + warm-ups Ab work 75 reps Stretch Day Three: Stretch ATG cleans: 10 singles with 5-6 of them heavy + warm-ups and technique work Overhead squats: 5 sets of 5 reps + warm-ups Overhead press: 3 sets of 5 reps + warm-ups Shrugs: 5 sets of 8 reps + warm-ups Ab work 75 reps Stretch This is a combination of a group of lifting programs, plus a little bit of chest work included. I like doing singles and doubles on the clean/snatch, and I've included all three types of squats... I know how anal I'm being about perfecting this program, but I can't stand the thought of working on a sub-optimal system. As for progression, I'm thinking I'll add weight every session at first--something like 5kg/session when I start and then lower it down to 2.5kg/session when that gets hard. | ||

Most Olympic weightlifting programs incorporate ab work for the increased core strength and stability in doing the lifts. Subsequently, most Olympic lifters also do some ab work. In the program Dimsum linked me, it says "Everyday: Stretching before and after training-abdominal work for reps (75 reps)." In Glenn Pendlay's Olympic lifting program primer, he states: "We try to end each workout with some low-back and abdominal work, and some jumping exercises. For this we use a glute-ham bench, a reverse hypermachine, lots of bands and medicine balls, and Plyo Boxes." I agree that for getting shredded abs, abdominal work is not all that necessary. However, it seems to be a big part of many Olympic lifting programs. anyway, my gym instructor said that i need to gain some weight but i don't know up to what weight. so basically i need a specific goal. my current weight is 120 lbs and i'm 5'3". can any of you guys give this noob some advice? Refer to the sticky. Drink a gallon of whole milk a day, do the weightlifting program Starting Strength, and get swole. | ||

@pinkranger: yes, for the "everyday gym-goer", ab work is not needed if you are on a heavy compound lifting program such as SS or stronglifts. and imo weight is actually more or less meaningless. I dont think anyone here is gonna tell you "X kg is the perfect weight for you! anything above or under that is bad." all that matters is that you are strong and dont become a fat load. if you eat well and lift heavy, that should happen automatically. of course, if you want to gain muscle mass, you need to eat a lot. you might gain weight this way, but you will look better and be stronger. and if you look in a mirror and like what you see, i'd say thats the perfect weight | ||

Situps are imo junk. But ab-work as a whole isn't. Hanging leg raises are just brutal, so are dragonflags. Roman Chair situps work though... Read the OP, drink loads of milk, eat more and lift heavy | ||
