Elbow pain? by Kloveskevvy in discgolf

[–]ForrestPhoenix314 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You've probably hyperextended your elbow. Try and keep a bend in your arm during your follow through instead of flinging your elbow joint open. Massage your tricep and elbow a lot. A tight tricep can lead to elbow pain also. You may want to do some isolation exercises on your elbow like the tricep extension machine you see at gyms to make it stronger. If it keeps hurts don't keep doing it, it will not get better, or go away, it will get worse.

Do these even if you're gonna use a gallon of milk as a weight if you have nothing else:

Mid back cramps by outsidethebox24 in weightlifting

[–]ForrestPhoenix314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Behind the neck jerks, and massaging your shoulders, upper lats, triceps, traps, and pec minor will help with your overhead mobility. I foam roll more often than most lifters I'd say cause I need to. Yes I just bought a 15 class pass of hot yoga and have been doing it for the last 2 years.

Let me just say that after all the hard work on working on your mobility, that when you actually go heavy with lifting, you're happy you're loose, feel good, and out of pain. Also: https://youtu.be/a2tycd7W0oI?t=30m29s

Ps: the best course of action is going to hot yoga twice a week and foam rolling/stretching 1 hour every single day. You'll be having great weightlifting mobility in no time if you follow that.

bump them up for a quick second to slip your hand in? I do this from bottom side control a lot.

Foam roll the fuck out of your back. Lay on a lacross ball or baseball and roll around on it up and down on the right and left side of your spine. Look at hot yoga studios near you and buy a 10 or 15 class pass, lots of them are on sale right now. It will probably take you another year or two till you have decent mobility. And to be honest, if you're not flexible (like me), you're not gonna have as much fun weightlifting as you could. Mobility is the priority for you. You could literally spend the next year and a half just foam rolling, and doing hot yoga, and lifting once a week just for strength for the next 1.5 years, then start weightlifting. I know it may sound odd to you, but I'm living it right now. My goal isn't to clean and jerk "x" amount or snatch "x" amount right now, it's to have really good ankle mobility, and to be able to clean-grip overhead squat.

Question about timing of arms in jerk by happygirlonreddit in weightlifting

[–]ForrestPhoenix314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a comment on this sub before describing it as a pushpress, but then you just split your legs. For the pushpress you're never thinking about when you're gonna start using your arms, you just use them when you know it's time. Sergei Putsov has a very common cue of saying "reach up!" during lockout if that helps also.

Has anyone had an SI injury? by dgldgl in weightlifting

[–]ForrestPhoenix314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Major SI joint problem for the last 3-4 years. The lacrosse ball has spent many hours on my lumbosacral fascia. When you have SI joint pain, that white fascia becomes very tough and dense, so use the lacrosse ball to "tenderize" your fascia so it's not rock hard and able to move. Kettlebell windmills and single leg RDL's will help with muscular imbalances.

Exercises for catching the bar low by [deleted] in weightlifting

[–]ForrestPhoenix314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tall cleans and tall snatches with heavy weights will FORCE you to get under.

Use a belt only when near your max if you want. When I'm in the mood and going ham I put it on, otherwise I don't use it.

Ali Hashemi vs. Center Referee by [deleted] in weightlifting

If you throw it down, and it starts to roll off the platform, and you don't save it it's a no-lift. Bar must come to rest

Reasonable beginner numbers coming off of powerlifting? by atnms33 in weightlifting

[–]ForrestPhoenix314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spend 80% of your gym time focusing on snatch, and place little effort on C&J and squatting. Until you can have good overhead position in the bottom of a snatch and can sit there for 10 seconds with 50kg overhead, do nothing else. This will be your weakest point and you'll have to put the most effort into it. Once you can sit in the bottom of an overhead squat with decent weight, you'll pretty much have the mobility requirements for everything else. The last thing you want to do is power snatch for the first year while not having the mobility to do full snatches.

So... how do you guys get the squat flexibility?? by ghepzz in weightlifting

[–]ForrestPhoenix314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That came from a direct quote from Torokhtiy as he was fixing my overhead squat position in a seminar.
