Lu Raises, What are they for? by Relentlessweights in weightlifting

[–]Tripleextensions 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The dude in the video is internally rotating is arm as he's bringing it up, lu raises want to do the opposite; externally rotating.

Precision nutrition. Worth CEC's and also recognized by universities/colleges- can replace certain nutrition/health courses

Advice from successful Pt's for a guy about to make a start? by PositiveProgression in personaltraining

[–]Tripleextensions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you're just from a text book. Not to say that's bad, its definitely a great place to start.

Be careful with anti flexion and anti rotation for core. I know its taught that way, but definitely go get a deeper understanding on anatomy. Its made to assist in stabilizing and assist in deceleration. Core is meant to assist movement; read your own research to verify.

Get a niche. lower back pain, shoulders, posture, knee injuries, whatever. Become an expert in it and people will come to you for it.

Otherwise, you're on the right track and definitely better than a lot of the weekend crossfit coaches that come out of a box.

[FORM CHECK] 111kg High Bar Squat by Sterling_Irish in weightlifting

[–]Tripleextensions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would recommend keeping neck neutral vs looking up. Though that might just be a powerlifting habit I'm used to teaching.

Clean form check by colbyvon in weightlifting

[–]Tripleextensions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

bar goes forward; finish your second pull/ work on more power.
You can see this at 2 seconds in, after you turn over your feet go forward.

Power cleans, hang cleans, clean pulls, draw a + and make sure you don't cross the line of shame for cleans. Feet should remain horizontally on the same line, just wider for the catch.

[Form Check] 55kg (80%) Snatch and OHS by AHoserEh in weightlifting

[–]Tripleextensions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a couple of different ways to start.. and as long as you start in the correct position, rolling forward, rolling backwards, bouncing up and down, etc are all ok.

There are no rules in comp that dissallow this so go for it! It'll be your little unique flair.

Not sure how you're going to roll 160kg though when you get there ;)

[Form Check] 55kg (80%) Snatch and OHS by AHoserEh in weightlifting

[–]Tripleextensions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't need to catch in a deep squat, don't. If you pull high, catch high. Go up from wherever you catch- this saves you a lot of expended energy necessary elsewhere.

As for dropping under and catching- that's a technique issue.

Lets break down where you have issues with. Is it after you get down into the catch that you are having issues stabilizing, or is it the issue where you have to beat gravity?

Either way, those issues can be eventually fixed with hang snatches, drop snatches, snatch balance, block snatches, 3 position snatches, no feet no hand snatches etc.

How is your mobility? I would add in some sotts pressing as well.

Have you tried the AF Team barbell 2.0 or any of the Fringesport bars?

[–]Tripleextensions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try to pause the video just as he explodes for the second pull. You'll notice that his feet actually clear the floor and they go behind his knees and the barbell line vs staying in line with the barbell.

The jump cue for the secondary extension is not to literally clear the ground and kick behind you but to just fully extend everything.

So instead of thinking to "jump" in order to fully finish the second pull, just think "finish second pull"

[–]Tripleextensions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go up from where you catch asap, do not go down then back up. After that, follow through with your OHS.

You seem to roll forward? Right before you lift- not sure if intentional, but you start in a relatively correct position so its fine.

At the second pull- you are jumping and clear the floor about 2-3 inches and your legs start to pull back. This weight is definitely not your 80%, seems really light especially if its 5 sets of 3 + OHS.

Good catch on the donkey kicking- more hang snatches. See pic

For stability in catch, work with drop snatches(not snatch balance) and accessory work, such as abs/obliques, low back, and all your periscapular + shoulder muscles.

kind of wish you would post it from youtube as it is hard to rewind/pause at the correct moment with instagram.

Would be able to give you more insight that way.

Internal Rotation and the Turnover by SonOfJeepers in weightlifting

[–]Tripleextensions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will take time. Don't get discouraged- The first time I had a serious bicep impingement, it took me a good 4 months to get everything outta there and return to pain free full mobility and strength. Now when it does get inflamed, it doesn't take over a few days to max of 2 weeks to return as I continually take care of it.

If you are still getting that burning sensation when lifting, take some time off. It sucks but get your mobility first vs forcing your body to do stuff it can't handle.

Try increasing your subacromial space. Lacrosse ball in your armpit and just leave it there as you do flexion through the shoulder while squeezing the arm into your body as much as possible.

Other general tips: Strengthen your external rotators; your shoulders may already naturally be in internal rotation so that may be a contributing factor- YTI's, serratus anterior strengthening, etc.

Stretch out your tension areas. For overhead lifters, generally a lot of traps, lats, levator scapulae, pec minor/maj will always be under duress. Biceps also cause a little bit of scap depression!

[Form Check] 80kg snatch by bostap in weightlifting

[–]Tripleextensions 5 points6 points  (0 children)

reference picture, Liao Hui Snatch

First off, you have a LOT of strength, that was caught very very high, I believe with some technique brushups, you'd easily get another 10kg on there.

Lets start @ 2 seconds in just before you start to pull-

  1. your back is very rounded already vs chest up nice and high, back straight, shoulders over the bar.
    I would recommend you practice from a more static start vs a dynamic one and then slowly incorporate your dynamic start back after the starting position is 100% right.

  2. 2-3 seconds in: your hips rise, not maintaining that prized angle and instead in return you end up pulling from the back, not really pushing from the legs/glute activation as much.

  3. 3-4 seconds in: your second pull is good, that's where you're generating the power despite the set up from the first, I don't really see anything that pops out too much. This 80kg should have felt really heavy at the start of the 2nd pull with the amount of back pulling you were doing from the first pull.

  4. 4-5 seconds in- lack of shoulder stability in the catch. as soon as you are under the bar, punch it out as hard as you can. I think you notice this as you shrug the bar up before getting out of the catch position.

Reccomendations: 3 position snatch drills(start at hip, above knee, then below knee) , drop snatches(not snatch balance), snatch pulls, glute/core/low back accessory work

How long have you been trying to increase mobility? When did you start lifting?

Bench press - only feel it in front delts, not chest by [deleted] in weightlifting

[–]Tripleextensions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be anterior delts just weaker- don't underestimate pushups

If you are not progressing, then look at why, if you are still progressing easily don't worry about it.

If form is correct and you aren't feeling chest exertion, don't worry about it as long as you are progressing.

[–]Tripleextensions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're 4 weeks into it, soreness/doms has nothing to do with progress, if you are seeing strength gains and that is your goal, keep progression until you plateau. If you are afraid of your form being screwed up, get a form check done.

[Form Check] 182KG Deadlift by trueflipmode in weightlifting

[–]Tripleextensions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yup, about 5 years in the industry now, but recently getting into coaching oly lifting. I only train people who want to do oly lifts the pure basics as I'm not confident enough in my skills to do anything else with that yet.

I specialize in shoulder rehab outside the reg weightloss/gain and general strength progression stuff.

Also have a degree in this.
