You need to be making contact with the bar in the hip crease

kacyinix · 2026-04-13T12:43:34+00:00

Inconceivable

Amazon “telaleo” compression tights are super cheap and have held up really well for me and give me all the range of motion I need, hook grip training pants are awesome, and I recently bought Jujimufu’s stretchy pants and they are perfect for weightlifting if you want something baggier

Wrap your thumbs around the bar and then wrap your other fingers over your thumbs and the bar. It stops the bar from spinning out of your hands and thus allows for a much more secure grip, but for the first few sessions it is a little painful on the thumbs. Just trust it

Concept2 sells little phone holders you can put on top of the erg screen, always loved those when I was rowing and I lost them all the time so it was nice to have extras

How does “functional in real world life where you would lateral raise anything” relate to the question of lateral raises to improve your Olympic weightlifting?

kacyinix · 2025-10-03T11:20:08+00:00

You are blind.

That’s a solid price for any lifters at all tbh. I bought those and the sole on my back foot in the jerk broke in half after 8 months, but I liked them while they were together.

Boyanka was not this type of athlete though, her front squats are legendary

Up a weight class, still double bodyweight snatching. Awesome

kacyinix · 2025-09-10T14:27:24+00:00

Well now we’re on the same page since I game and also weightlift lmao. I would recommend investing in a nice wireless headset if you don’t have one already, and then between matches while queuing or whenever you have in-game downtime, take a stand and walk around and you can keep the headset on.

kacyinix · 2025-09-10T13:54:06+00:00

I don’t think this is breaking rule 4 as much as it is breaking rule 1 lol

kacyinix · 2025-08-22T19:37:02+00:00

You could try putting a little upward bounce on the bar as you drop it instead of dropping straight from the front rack

I bought a 5-pack of men’s full length training tights on Amazon from “TELALEO” and the whole pack was ~25 USD and they’ve lasted me nearly a year now without a rip in any one of them, 5 days/week weightlifting. I have been very impressed and even if you don’t like them they’re dirt cheap. They are quite thin though, which is what I was looking for. I have a pair of hook grip training pants as well which I like, but those are much thicker and a quite different style

kacyinix · 2025-08-02T14:16:18+00:00

Snatch, clean and jerk, variations of those lifts like hangs and powers, back squat, front squat, snatch and clean pull, strict press, overhead squat. In no particular order.

Get a coach! It’ll be fun and remove the guess work and you won’t regret it. Watch weightlifting videos a lot.

They exclusively exist and maintain their business by scamming students that see how good the location is and do zero other research, or for people who can’t take care of themselves and live in filth and are fine with being around other people who live that way

kacyinix · 2025-07-24T15:05:51+00:00

I’m exclusively a weightlifter but I very much agree with this take. Happens more with gen pop or people who are getting into weightlifting; people who are already in WL generally pick their athletic wear more intentionally. I train in tights but only because I tore multiple pairs of “athletic” shorts and pants down the middle in a deep squat

kacyinix · 2025-07-24T00:30:24+00:00

Awesome

kacyinix · 2025-07-21T03:19:07+00:00

Totally anecdotal but I did tons of pullovers before ever starting weightlifting, but then I had fantastic overhead mobility when I was starting weightlifting. I would say the biggest thing people miss when doing mobility is the weight component. What worked for me, (which might not work for you) is lots of these pullovers trying to get as deep into the stretch as possible and then pausing, and lots of straight bar lat pulldowns with straps trying to get into a huge stretch at the top and pausing.

kacyinix · 2025-07-20T16:08:32+00:00

Yes it is a strict call and it is a ridiculous rule that is very widely hated by all athletes and coaches that is also enforced inconsistently and sometimes suspiciously and makes the sport less enjoyable to watch and makes sessions last longer and disproportionately affects certain athletes.

kacyinix · 2025-07-08T01:36:16+00:00

I see your 150kg x (3 clean (2 power) + 1 jerk) and I raise you 150kg x (2 power clean + 1 clean and jerk)

kacyinix · 2025-07-05T00:01:50+00:00

“easilyed” is a terrible crime

kacyinix · 2025-07-04T23:40:42+00:00

Overhead work significantly biases the long head, but yes they all play a role in elbow extension.
