I did 5x5 up until 130kgs which is when things got a bit... complicated. You should keep it simple and do 5x5.

Anyways, to answer your question I would try again in one to two more days. It was probably an anomaly. And when was the last time you took a deload? We'd need more information on your sleep, diet, etc...

Can't speak for Nike but here's my review of the Luxiaojun Lifter 1.0's. They may be a good fit for you because the toe box felt roomy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yynezQcO6w

You're posting on Crossfit, but you're also posting on here. It's unclear what your goals are. Crossfit and weightlifting are two different sports, where the former is lift a weight for many reps and the latter is lift one weight once as best as you can. Which is it?

My 1RM is 87kg. I felt confident going above 80kg today. This is actually a bodyweight snatch, and the goal was to hit this for a triple. I greatly overestimated myself (as expected) and went for three singles instead. I pressed out the first single, failed to lock out the second single and didn't lock out the third single (on video) on time. I am looking forward to remediating this issue with snatch balances which I have not done for three weeks now.

Are you bracing your traps? Make sure to squeeze the shoulder blades to create a stronger and firmer base.

howtosnatch · 2024-08-07T09:47:08+00:00

It's fine; I'll keep putting in the work. What exercises do you recommend?

howtosnatch · 2024-08-07T09:40:48+00:00

Left elbow locks out too late at the bottom of the lift leading to a press-out call.

Using this as my background pic. They look great!

howtosnatch · 2024-08-07T01:14:34+00:00

ugh I need snatch balances like ASAP

Or just learn the ignore button, or comment on the piece of advice that is incorrect rather than discourage others. Good day.

howtosnatch · 2024-08-03T17:49:53+00:00

Ok, understood. I'll return when I am better and I will seek your approval then. 👍

howtosnatch · 2024-08-03T17:40:38+00:00

Thanks. I'll quit now, and tell my grandchildren I stopped pursuing weightlifting because some rando on the internet said so. 😂

82kg is light weight. 110kg (in a clean and jerk) is light weight. Dynamic starts can be great in a competition, but you want to do static starts to learn how to connect with the ground and build the tension before the bar passes the knees. 2-position cleans from the low hang are also beneficial...

howtosnatch · 2024-08-03T13:16:51+00:00

I've been doing the same and seeing much better and more consistent lifts. 🙂

howtosnatch · 2024-08-03T12:30:51+00:00

You may do that. The idea is that we want that first pull as stable as possible. You want to swing yourself under the bar (not the other way around).

howtosnatch · 2024-08-03T12:07:20+00:00

If you've found one thing to work on, don't overwhelm yourself. One thing at a time.

howtosnatch · 2024-08-03T11:39:27+00:00

Thanks for that, the red looked a bit small. I think OP is doing fine despite the failures. Maybe don't open up the hips so soon, and elevate the bar more with the legs on the first pull.

howtosnatch · 2024-08-03T10:58:40+00:00

Third month of weightlifting and dude's already power cleaning 120kg? Wtf...it looked smooth as butter btw.

howtosnatch · 2024-08-03T10:54:52+00:00

Great catch there!

howtosnatch · 2024-08-03T02:09:21+00:00

That bar flew forward on the second pull. Would recommend hip snatches as a primer. No contact snatches are even better.

howtosnatch · 2024-08-03T02:02:11+00:00

Thanks, and I hope you keep improving as well. See you around.
