Snatching is starting to click for me. Hit two sets of 56kg x3 start out this cycle's performance week. Probably could have gone to 60x3 but I still had back squats to do. Previous was 52x2.

I cleaned 66x3 (hail satan) then went onto some jerk work and did 70x3 easy peasy. I should just stick to OHP. Really though I've been training with clean/jerk and snatch for only five months. It's challenging going from casual power lifting to the much more dynamic lifts.

Chinatown posted:im the slippers Feet should leave the platform during the second pull but this fellas jumping forward instead of moving them into catch position. Bar path probably isn't very vertical. So instead of bailing at the apex like a normal person this guy tried to muscle the 90kg into the catch/over center position.

^^^ probably some powerlifting federations do somewhere. The IWF uses Olympic rules (20kg bar, 2.5kg collar) that specifies the bar. IPF does too I think.Drunk Driver Dad posted:weird request but does anyone know where I can get a chart like this - Think of learning barbell math as auxiliary work. I had some major progress with clean n jerk this week. Did sets of 70kg x2 that felt like 30. Almost popped myself in the chin with the clean. This is midway through my first cycle of doing the full Olympic lifts from the floor so I'm pretty excited. Mustached Demon fucked around with this message at 10:18 on Oct 19, 2018 |

I usually do some sets of weighted kettlebell push-ups to keep those muscles in line. Probably bench more once my schedule flips and our new work gym opens.

That looks great for shoulder stabilization. Dunno about that plus balancing a 25kg plate but whatever. Ours are pretty rounded at the bottom at least.

Helios Grime posted:6'3" checking in and while I suck at squats I do like doing them. I'm generally cranky when I work the Saturday and Sunday night shift. Those are rest days I spend on my feet for 9-10 hours all night. Also my lower back got doms'd from pushing front squats down below parallel (pushing mobility for snatch/cleans). Weird sensation having that sore but not hamstrings. I'm 6'2"!

Killing Loaf posted:Are you "all legs"? Squats are more about proportions than height. I'm 5'8" but have the legs of someone 6'+ thanks to scoliosis (pediatrician said I was supposed to be 6'2" from looking at growth plates when I was a kid but my torso is way shorter than it should be from the boneitis). My squat sucks and I have lots of problems with it but I still train it. I just don't expect to ever be good at them. I do stuff like split squats and leg press to help my quads and also focus on more upright variations (high bar, front squat) since I have to bend over so far on low bars that it fucks with my low back. Have you tried squatting with Olympic shoe and high bar? The ones with the ~1" heels. Changed my squat world for sure. I did some sets of high hang (basically power) snatch with focusing on getting under it and catching as low as I can. Pushed the catch down below parallel which is huge for my long rear end legs. So sort of an overhead squat too.

Drunk Driver Dad posted:Today is intensity bench day and I have to hit 200 for triples several times. I think the 3x a week benching might be working out now that I seem to have recovered from the other week's shenanigans cause I hit a rep PR of 185x9 on amrap day a few days ago. But we'll see I guess. Lots of rest and general stretching in preparation for performance week where I'm 2-rep maxing the lifts. Hopefully I'll put new numbers on the white board.

It's not surprising since you use different stabilization in the trunk between the two. Keep at it, focus on form above all else, and it'll start getting closer.

doverhog posted:Sure, but the comparison to what old snake oil was is not accurate either. It's pretty darn accurate. CBD oil gets called a magic cure all by the likes of that avacodo wolfe guy or whatever pseudoscientific woolooloo scam artist kids are into these days. They claim it'll cure everything from cancer, to diabetes, to gout, to squat butt wink. That's different than claiming a medicinal use based off citing a scientific journal with a decent impact rating, however.

Drunk Driver Dad posted:Is this a fair comparison? It's not like some ancient phage is going to come roaring back to eradicate your children because you did/didn't try out some CBD oil. Basically different risk/reward scenarios. With CBD what's the worst case? You are out some money? I remember some goon would always get snarky anytime you mentioned using a foam roller in the general ylls thread. Like chill out and let me do my drat thing, even if it's placebo. That said, it is good to be skeptical so I'm not knocking that. I'm just knocking on the "do your research" part not CBD oil itself. It's a dangerous path going down that rabbit hole of doom and sorrow. There's a nice pseudoscience thread in SAL if you wanna really get into the topic of CBD oil.

Zil posted:Especially income, savings, retirement plans. You name it, it makes life simple. There was a goon (I think a goon but could have been from elsewhere posted here) that passed out on their arm and had to have it removed. Anyways this weeks the 2rep max week of my cycle. Hit a snatch PR at 61kg x2. The 3x max was 56kg and my previous cycle topped out at 47kg x2. 61kgs basically 135lbs so remember your first 135lb bench? That's how I feel right now about snatching. Also got up to 112kg x3 on the back squat when I weigh 110kgish. Feels good exceeding my body weight for sets again. Coach asked if I was down for my first competition in Jan/Feb. Told him I'm down so long as it's not too close after the holidays. Probably start programming for that next week.

Added 10kg to my clean and jerk today for a double at 77kg. Technique and mobility getting better and better. Had to muscle the last rep up on the jerk but that's ok. Doing my body weight seems almost realistic now.

Stretching is so important it requires empty quoting. I'm a big fan of band assisted warmups for my hips like band air squats, clam openers, leg raises, etc. Really gone a long way in opening those dumb things up.
