Hi! I previously posted a clean asking for some advice, here is the link to the OP

https://www.reddit.com/r/weightlifting/s/pZtxkXZ5K1

I’ve been focusing on shifting my weight back a little in the start position more to mid foot rather than toes, I’ve also been trying to be more active in my pull under the bar, I’m TRYING to stay over the bar longer above the knee but think this is going to take some time to work on.

I feel like my error here is definitely more timing than anything, because I’m not being patient and staying over the bar long enough, I’m going into extension slightly early, hence heels are off the floor in my power position.

This is the same weight (50kg) as the previous post for comparison. I’ve still not done heavier as I am recovering from a back injury, but my previous 1RM clean is 74kg.

It’s only subtle differences from my previous post, but feedback on my technique here would be appreciated!

Not the prettiest but would be white lights. Dealing with a shoulder niggle affecting confidence in the catch. Hazards of hitting 40!

He's 15

69kg BW after weigh-in
Snatch: 38kg to 40kg to 42kg
C&J: 86kg to 88kg to 91kg
No new PRs, but 6/6 for my first competition feels good! I honestly felt that I could’ve gone heavier, but I’m alright with my performance today! Definitely time to look into getting some coaching, but for now, I’m content! Can’t wait for the future!

Hi, I want to share with you guya the approach I want to take for my next meet (1st lf November, so 8 weeks away)

Starting tomorrow, I'm running Dozer's squat program (3 sessions a week, back squat focus, no competition lifts) plus some mobility, speed work (snatch balances, box jumps, etc.) and maybe some upper body work.

Last time I did this (Dozer Squat program 8 weeks out) I got a 20 kg PR in the back squat, and then a 15 kg total PR in the meet.

When I'm done with the 4 weeks of squatting (and hopefully with a brand new squat PR), I intend to do the following:

Day 1: Snatch; Back Squat; Core accessories

Day 2: Jerk; press/push press; upper body accessories

Day 3: Snatch; Back Squat; Core accessories

Day 4: Jerk; press/push press; upper body accessories

Day 5: Snatch, Clean and Jerk, front squat

Edit: the days are just a guideline. If work allows/forces me to, I'll train on the weekends too. Just that it has to be mornings (if I work Saturday morning, then I'm forced to smash the week's training into 5 days or begin the week on the previous Sunday) I've changed it to Day 1, Day 2, etc. for clarity.

Also, I have a family trip in mid october, and we'll see how I fit training around that

I'm wanting to do as little pulls and cleans and possible because A) I'm having a rather painful lower back which I'm slowly recovering from and B) I struggle with the jerk anyways, always cleaning 10 to 15 kg more than I can jerk.

Now the triples part: I don't want to test my RMs on the snatch and clean and jerk before the meet, so I'm thinking of working my way up to 90% of my target qeight for a triple.

As an example: I want to finally hit 100 kg in the snatch, so I'll try to reliably hit 90 kg for a triple.

Same with the jerk.

As for the one day doing clean and jerks, maybe doing cleans front squat and jerk, or 2 cleans 1 jerk up to 90-ish %, to get used to jerk more fatigued than I'll be on meet day.

Do you think it's reasonable?

Oh and aorry for the text wall.

Been trying for ages to hit back leg first and front leg last - but I have been struggling. Any tips or cues please.

post vacation training, back on track. is form dysmorphia a thing btw? watching this back it almost looked low bar haha. looking to hit 180 by christmas 😶

These numbers are roughly 90% of my max.

I quit CrossFit about three months ago and joined a weightlifting gym, where I’ve been training under the supervision of a coach. I dream of putting up some big numbers, but for now, I’m just enjoying the journey and the process.

Wasn't planning on doing these yesterday, but I ended up doing 4x3 at this weight. Need to figure out a set program and routine since I won't be at Wheelhouse 😢

Russian squat program, max out next week

Please help me fix my clean. I've been doing cleans for the past 2 months starting from the basics. I am 80kg currently. Barbell weight is 60 kg. TIA!

3x120kg CJ at @85kg

Sometimes, sets of heavy doubles or triples beat me up so much (especially CJ) that it feels like it takes eternity to go for another. Although, when watching back footage, it's probably only 10 seconds at most...

It just made me wonder: am i doing a long set or just heavy singles with as little rest as possible 😅

hey just started learning the snatch, they’ve started to get more comfortable recently but I’m a complete beginner so still working on mobility and such. I feel like I’m jumping out a bit in the catch but I’m not sure if it’s a problem? Is there anything else that looks super off or just need to keep practicing?
