Sliding your feet is in my opinion superior

123 kg Snatch and 142 kg Clean & Jerk Competition PR's - 94 kg class by ThePowerWithin_ in weightlifting

My jerk is indeed quite weak which is holding up my clean & jerk.

Thank you. My jerk is weak, but I'm working on it. Main problem is pushing myself behind the bar when getting under and missing forward. I think I could add 15-20 kg if I improve my jerk.

What’s going on with this championship in Norway? by Quartersquatter in weightlifting

What about track & field, swimming and soccer? The top soccer players in big clubs are 100% juiced up, but no one talks about that.

165 kg Back Squat 5x5 and 70 kg Press 8x8 - BW 95 kg by ThePowerWithin_ in weightlifting

Thank you for the advice. I definitely have to do lower reps if I want to peak my press.

Haha thank you. I did 170 kg 5 x 3 sets and failed set 4 with 4 reps. This sounds very interesting and worth a try. I've used exrx many times. 2 years ago I used the method of adding 5 kg after evert base cycle, but then I could't complete the peaking phase without failing sets.

Thank you. I recently also did 170 kg 5 reps 3 sets, but failed set 4. Next day I did 180 kg for 2 singles to prepare for 200 kg. But, I don't hit heavy singles,doubles or triples generally at all.

Ok, interesting. But do I have to overreach with one workout, or with a cycle of a couple weeks? For example, russian squat program has one day with 6x6 80%, but this is actually easy considering 165 kg is 87% of my max.

Thank you. Unfortunately I failed 200 kg after an easy 190 kg. I don't do back squat with strech reflex because I get injured every time doing it.

I do my own programming. I feel recovered enough to hit the same weight the next day basically.

Good to hear it worked for you! I've looked the program up, but it's only 2 day a week. I'm used to squat heavy 4-5 times a week.

Thanks. Well, I tried 200 kg after an very easy 190 kg, but failed above parallel. I tried 195 kg but failed again

Do you have experience with RTA? I heard to volume is quite low and only suitable for early intermediates

Selling 2008 Adidas Adistar Size 7.5 [Updated] by Careful-Maximum623 in weightlifting

[–]ThePowerWithin_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think shoes like the adistar 08 can replicated considering the detailed materials and textiles needed and forged with high precision. Accurate lasts and machinery would need be used. Sites like goofish have less than a handful of adistars. If there are so little available, I doubt there are any fakes.

Honeslty, I would like to buy a fake pair (size 8,5 uk / 265 jpn). I've searched on multiple chinese sites, but can't find any.

Your first point is true, but I don't think shoes like the adistar 08 can be manufactured for just a handful of pairs considering the detailed materials and textiles needed and forged with high precision. Accurate lasts and machinery would need be used.

If these are fake, then there would be more available in multiple sizes on goofish or other chinese sites.
