"Avoid the Olympic lifts"

[deadshot138]

That's really good though. Your numbers I mean.

Thanks. I can hit them for 3 reps but if I add even 5lbs I don't get under the bar.

Pics of you kipping and rhabdo-ing or it didn't happen

I don't actually crossfit, just go there for oly lifting.

I don't actually crossfit, just go there for oly lifting.

Sad state of affairs, when people who want to do Oly lifts have to subject themselves to Cross-shit gyms with inflated prices, and the crowd.

I think the article is reaching but it isn't absolutely stupid (as far as safety). The amount of daft bastards I see training Olympic lifts by watching a Youtube video is absurd. And the self taught cross-fitters. Kitted out in their Adidas oly shoes and throwing a bar around with no knowledge of what they are doing. Olympic lifting is a specialist game and you need a good coach to get half decent. But of course, if you do have a good coach then fucking A, it will have amazing cross over for some people.

What's half decent?

Don't even know what a good number would be honestly

140 kg is a good number.

Anything bellow that, is just horrible and everybody who can't at least clean that should be ashamed of themselves.

But 140 is pretty decent.










:::just so happens to clean exactly 140 kg::

You can power clean that too, right? Right?

I can power clean my max full clean for the same amount of reps. I know its a mental thing not being.able to catch more.

Could be technical too. Or you might be just retarded like me.

Wearing spandex and not injuring yourself. Showing off your snatch to pedestrians.

Shit I don't not need no crossfit, I've been chopping wood like 15-20 hours a week for the past few months.

So competing ? Like literally the lowest bar ever. Kewl.

if you smoke marreehooanna YOU WIL DIE

i mean, if you olympic lift YOU WILL DIE

I can tell I have technical issues. When I clean from mid thigh I catch the bar nice and cleanly on my clavicles. When I clean from the floor I catch it on my front delts. I think I'm initiating the second pull too early when I do it from the floor, the bar is hitting just above the knees instead of mid quad or slightly higher.

 

[deadshot138]

Early pull would explain why I'm catching too far forward or losing the clean forward in general.

Powerlifting is a sport that has you strive for the heaviest weights in the bench press, squat, and dead-lift.

This is the first sentence for that Powerlifting article. Because of it, I will not take anything the person says seriously...

Your power clean is STILL around you full clean???

How much do you power/full clean these days?

I haven't really done the quick lifts for a good couple of months... So probably 60 kg? But I hang powercleaned 150 from the hip for a double before I started my hiatus. Think I full cleaned 150 for a single. Power snatched more than I snatched and jerked 182 from the racks.





I'm all powah.

 

[deadshot138]

Did sets of 5 snatching from the knee. Worked up to 145lbs. Getting good at speed under the bar, I felt the bar brush my hair while I was diving.

Anyone else feel like they've done an ab workout after doing snatches and cleans? The quick closing of the hips is almost like a standing ab double crunch.
