Soooo supposed to be dealoading / chilling so I wanted to try my hand at snatches. And because I don't have any notions of being good at doing them I recorded the entire workout.



I really liked my last 60kg lift. It was the one I felt that went smoothest.

Any tips on what to fix and what was good?

Haha a bit different then atlas stone lifts eh? :-p
-hips lower, lower back flatter.
-you did a pretty good job of getting your hips into it
-don't pop your feet out so wide. They should only go wide enough for you to get into a comfortable squatting position. Get lower in a squat position when you catch it(this is the hard part) instead of putting your feet way out wide. Might want to start working on overhead squat too to get comfortable catching below parallel
-practice practice practice practice

Looks kinda like how i used to snatch when i started
how reasonable is it to eat off wood instead of your tummy?

Yep, a whole lot different. Reminds me that I need to start doing the stones again

Will keep these points in mind next time.

Went to the gym today and I saw my old Olympic lifting coachy sorta guy (he was teaching me when I went to Konami Shit Gym) there!

We talked for a while and I saw him lift for the first time. My god, what a lifter. 160kg front squat at a body weight of 65kg. He didn't snatch all that much weight, but his snatch form looked like one of those Chinese lifters. Absolutely beautiful.

Apparently my double knee bend is shit because I'm not extending my hips and rather pulling the bar up. It's an old habit that I'm having a lot of trouble fixing . It sucks because I know exactly what I'm doing, but I don't know what to do to repair it. I've looked through Greg Everett's book on fixing this problem, but came up with nothing.

Sucks man.

Can someone post a video tutorial for front squats?

I'm not quite sure how to approach them. I mean, I understand the general idea of elbows high, etc., but I find myself extending my butt out like a back squat, which I hear (from some video I watched a while ago) I shouldn't do.

no its the same

@rosa
wow 160kg at 65 is amazing!

also Start with lifts from high hang to try to engage your hips more. check out those pendlay videos.

These powerlifting competitions are so intense. You can really see the motivation in the competitors' eyes. Great thread, very useful :D
Life's good :D

I have absolutely abysmal clean form. I'll try to get a vid on Saturday when I do them again, but I pull slow to my knees and try to explode from there but I end up cleaning it to just below my chest and then just pulling it up to my shoulders with my arms. I feel retarded doing them too =[.

I guess I just have no idea what I'm doing on the 2nd pull other than trying to get the bar moving as fast as possible and jerking it off of my thigh with my traps.

I know this is a really shitty description of my lift and there is basically nothing anyone can critique specifically, I'm kind of hoping this is a common problem and there is a generic answer to helping people who suck at cleans like myself.

That said I fucking love them when they feel right at lower weights.

On a related note I'm thinking of getting into Oly lifting in about a month once I hit my current goals. I'm just wondering what you're opinion is on Gregg Everett's book (i'm assuming you were talking about 'Olympic Weightlifting: A complete guide for Athletes and Coaches'). It's gotten pretty good reviews from what I've seen so I'm thinking about ordering it once I've got the cash.

It's got everything you'd need, and works as an amazing resource book as well.

Highly recommended reading!

Back looks rounded a bit, keep it tight. I'll look at it more later.

Did some front squats today to work on the catch position. Flexibility still needs a bit of work but isn't too bad.

Then did some power cleans. I felt like I was pulling way too early and also letting the bar get too far out in front of me. Plenty to work on but should be fun. I'll try and get a video when I can.

105- Worlds result was kind of disappointing to me.

+ Show Spoiler +

Klokov went 6/6, but lost out on body weight to his teammate Khadzhimurat. His last clean and jerk at 232 was so easy though... I felt that he should have gone for like 235 to seal the deal, because Khadzhimurat's 232 was pretty difficult.

Explode more on your second pull instead of just pulling the weight off the ground to your shoulders, you can def get waaaay more weight up.

I actually didnt see klokov's 220, so I thought he had another attempt left. Both look like they are in top form. Klokov needed 235 for the win since he was losing in the snatch by 2 kg

Yeah, I just wish he had pushed for a few more kilos on that clean and jerk at the end. Of course, his teammate had a hell of a day.

Also, I misunderstood at first because the commentator made it seem as if it was a bodyweight issue. It was a totals issue really. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to London now. I know Aramnau failed a piss test so he couldn't compete this time, but he should be in the 2012 Olympics. Klokov, Khadzhimurat, and Aramnau should make a hell of a 2012 Olympics.

Edit: Also, Salimi is unstoppable right now. 214 snatch god damn!!!! I know he did 217 before, but now it's official. I'm sure he'll break this record a couple of times before retiring.

Had a rather strange session today. 97,5kg CJ felt quite heavy, missed 102,5 but then nailed it on the second attempt perfectly (at least it felt sooooo smooth).

Bumped up to 110kg for a new pr, missed it 3 times before managed to somehow get it up. When I tried to jerk it I felt like my shoulders were being crushed/grinding into something and immediately dropped the bar. Shoulders felt relatively fine after.

Has anyone experienced the same and is it something I should worry about?
