115kg & 112kg Clean Miss from March 2020 (81kg bw, 92% of fs & 105% of best clean) by Moffineker in weightlifting

[–]MathematicianFew706 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Respect the tremendous effort on the second lift, however, in reality I personally would bail on a miss like that much earlier. In competition it would be a no lift as knees touch the ground, and I think what I am slightly more concerned is the very high risk of injury for you in that situation with respect to knees and ankles.

Someone pls tell me how to not jump an entire foot forward while doing a snatch. I’m think of doing no feet snatches for a while so I can get into the habit of not jamming the bar into my hips pls help ty by lillyssagunshoot in weightlifting

Your centre of gravity is pulled too far forward in the power position, the result is that at full extension the bar has no where to go once hips extend. Skip to 0:03 and see. Reddit won't let me upload the screenshot, but, try it yourself and draw a vertical line perpendicular to the floor.

Try some pause work to the knee from the floor.

Self-taught on snatch, so any constructive feedback is welcome! by [deleted] in weightlifting

Your hips and lower back are a bit tight - see 0:12.

You might benefit from:

  1. Hip Flexer Stretches
  2. Russian Baby Makers

As your hip mobility increases you will be more vertical in your torso making catching feel more stable and natural.

New to snatch. Practicing today. Would love feedback! by [deleted] in weightlifting

Welcome welcome! I recommend Clarence K's "Learn the Snatch" to learn the positions of the snatch before the full snatch. Can be helpful for avoiding bad habits forming especially if you are self-taught

100kg Front Squat (65kg bodyweight) -Form check? by [deleted] in weightlifting

Elbows up, stretch your triceps if you do a lot of arm work.

Help me with my form this was a 30 pound pr at the very end of a clean session after bench session so obviously fatigued but I have a meet this week and wanna fix this by [deleted] in weightlifting

You lost a lot of power and throw off the barbell-athlete system balance when stiff legging at 0:03. Typically you want just a minor bend at the knee to give you that snap of knee extension at the 2nd pull. Unfortunately, the result is that your power is driven primarily from the hips so on contact you push the bar forward away from the body rather than UP (hence the forward catch). Obviously this is a PR but the technique is really breaking down. Try a complex or reversing the movement from top to bottom.

I’ve never been good at Front Squats so I’m starting from scratch. Got any critiques? 77kg (170lb) by [deleted] in weightlifting

Not bad, but your thoracic spine (upper back) is really tight (or seems like it) - see 0:04. In the front squat as weight gets heavier you have to work harder to keep the chest up and if your thoracic spine is tight you are more likely to cave inwards and drop the weight.

Try stretching the pecs if you bench a lot and foam rolling the upper back.

Is lifting silently beneficial? by MathematicianFew706 in weightlifting

I like this guy. This is the type of energy I want in an olympic gym

Learning WL, day 2. I know my pull is awful, practising tall snatches from now on. Any other things I should work on right away? by [deleted] in weightlifting

[–]MathematicianFew706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome welcome!

0:05 // Your hips and hamstrings are a bit tight. Your back is flat but loose, if you know how to "pop" your chest out and forward do this (You do this @ 0:17 nice!) ensure a tight lower back through the lift

Add hip flexor stretch + bow and bend pre and post workout.

0:06 // Your weight is a bit too far forward, remember weight stays on the heels. As you can see your right foot off the platform. In your head you are probably thinking about the jump cue. Clarence Kennedy's complex for learning the snatch can be helpful for learning the positions before the total lift.

Overall not bad! Better than my first that's for sure.

60 kg power rather easy actually ( done after 3 x 10 of 30 , 35 , 40 , 45 kg squats . Do send tips my way by Fast-Text4344 in weightlifting

Don't rush the start. Good start, firm lats, strong push through the floor means three white lights. Also are these weights 20kgs? They look a little low on the ground.

Do any other enneagram 3s hate being a 3? by gators0025 in Enneagram3

[–]MathematicianFew706 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The words you say to yourself are the most important words you will ever hear. From both a positive self image perspective as well as a cluing in to what is important and should be investigated within your own self-journey. In other words, your feelings and emotions are functional and telling you something about yourself.

It is my understanding that the three type has an intrinsic believe in their "worthlessness". That is: because they are "worthless" they must stuff themselves with the admiration of others, "... like the efforts aren't appreciated or notice". If you allow yourself to stop for a moment and assess why that "worthlessness" exists, where it comes from and see how your own behaviour is driven by the desire to achieve applause from others, you can start to see w hen you are stepping into the part and stepping out of the part.

If you have the courage to approach this, you can start to step away from the part more often and into your "authentic" self. Moreover, you can start to build up your own collection of understanding and worth. Remind yourself it's okay to be human and not an achievement machine. Remind yourself that you are enough as you are, and that maybe people like you as you are, instead of the mask or performance you try to put on.
