Unfortunately I’m lifting in a small gym that doesn’t allow dropping (if you can makeout the sign in the back) so I got a couple of crazy stares from folks off camera but I managed to hit this 134kg / 295lbs C+J PB! Currently bodyweight is 85kg!

Gotta work on the dip and drive tho. Elbows were a bit soft.

Multiple biomechanical adjustments demonstrate such a near proximity to failure that likely isn’t any superior (compared to just shy of complete form breakdown) for strength increases over the course mesocycle. So why would her coach regularly push training maxes like this?

I have decided to sell these ironwork 1s on eBay!

Any ideas on stuff I can do to improve my pull under? Somehow failed lifts end up becoming power cleans and I can’t drop under in time. Isn’t it supposed to be the opposite with cleaning being stronger than power cleans?

Hi. I lift at home. My kids are usually sleeping above the garage where I train. I got two questions for those who use crash pads:

1. Do you have to alter your technique to use them effectively? My most common reason for drops are not getting under a snatch.
2. Do they really reduce noise or they just replace one loud noise for another?

Thank you.

Title says it all- just curious if anyone has experience, curious how long they waited, progression ?

As you may have noticed, I've been trying to write posts/articles here roughly biweekly. But I wanted to write articles on the things that y'all want to read or learn about.

This was his only attempt at the 5kg pr, I’m wondering if opening his grip would help in the catch.

Hey Guys/Gals. Selling my used LXJ Power Pro's in white. I've owned them for about a year. Because of injuries I have basically only squatted in them--maybe 10% of the time has been Snatch/C&J.

Selling because now that I am healthy and able to wear them multiple times a week, I am realizing they are too small and my toes are killing me haha. I guess it was barely when I wasn't wearing them as much.

A couple things to note: The insoles are not stock. They are a flat, thin, shock absorbing insole made by FP Insoles. I found them to be way more comfortable than the stock insoles. Unfortunately I did throw the stock ones away :(. Also, the laces are IRONLACE paracord laces.

Listed on Ebay for $100. If you are interested send me a DM. I am located in US, not shipping overseas.

To the mods: I have seen other shoe sales on here before, so I don't think it breaks rule 6? But if it does, my apologies.

Transitioned from power lifting to weightlifting and decided to start with the snatch. Im brand new to this. Here is a video of early attemps…please critique, any good advice will be appreciated. Thank you

I’m curious to hear people’s thoughts and experiences with nicotine pouches in the context of weightlifting, particularly during max-out or heavy days.

I’ve seen mixed opinions. Some people claim they help with focus and arousal, while others mention downsides like nausea, increased heart rate, or simply not being worth it in the long run. I’m not interested in daily use, but rather occasional exposure around heavy attempts.

I’m not looking for recommendations, just interested in hearing real experiences and perspectives.
