@SoleSteeler you'll get 115kg ezpz soon man, considering what you are squatting. Might just need to give your back a break for a few days. Deadlifts can wreck me like no other lift sometimes. | ||

Goal for end of year: 60 kg snatch (from 0). GO ME. GO TLHF Done after 1.5 months, with shitty form, but done; if you call this a snatch =/ I think I'm going through the same cycle as I did with cleans: power clean then clean because I'm scared of catching the bar at the bottom. Well, that's for 2014  | ||

Well, that's for 2014 I hit a 60kg snatch too last Saturday I'll post the video on the Weightlifting thread when I get around to it  But if you can essentially power snatch that much, I bet you can full snatch a shitload once you get good technique for going under the bar and such | ||

So I go from a 3 plate deadlift to snatching and cleaning the bar (not that I would ever give up dls) and it feels amazing. I can feel my hips opening up with all the pigeon stretches and hip flexor stretches. Not to mention getting your heart rate up to cardio levels when you're doing 5 second clean into front squat into overhead presses. I always end with something heavy just to get that 'pump' though. When you guys were training something complicated like a clean and jerk, how long did it take to get the right flexibility? How long until you were jerking what you could strict press? | ||

I noticed my main weakness is, obviously, flexibility. All the power I built up is useless if I can't keep my shoulders up on a front/overhead squat.

Still working on it. Been olympic lifting about 3 years seriously. I have never been able to press or push press as much as I can jerk, i never understood how that is even possible T_T (my jerk is at least 40kg over my best push press and almost double my best press). | ||

That's normal... I'm still working on jerking what I can press. Maybe it has something to do with muscle fibers being trained for slow, methodical movements as opposed to fast twitchy power. EDIT: and obviously flexibility at the hip/ankle. Been doing Asian squats every day to help that one. | ||

Once I stop feeling like Charlie Chaplin I'll be sure to get some advice. Hit my chin on a clean and fell backwards on a snatch into overhead squat today. I swear the radio was playing yakety sax at some point. Good news is I had a lot of fun being all the way at the bottom again | ||

On a more positive note, pr'd OHP again! 140 3,1 If you had told me I'd be pressing that much a month or two ago I wouldn't have believed you. Lowering the reps and upping the weight is doing work for me. | ||

80 kg high bar squat 5x5 felt great. Since i can do 105 kg low bar squat... Maybe I'll get back up to that in high bar fairly quickly. I find it easier to keep good form with the high bar squat compared to the low bar, for whatever reason. | ||
