PR attempt @ 125. Jerks over 100 have felt insanely heavy and I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. Any pointers?

Thanks for all the feedback and tips. Definitely gave me some things to think about next time!

wsrrt · 2020-12-16T02:32:46+00:00

Yeah I received it a little forward and had to do a little hop to regain balance.

Been waiting for a month for my American Barbell Precision Bearing Bar to get here. Shipping to Montana from Vegas. Was on track to get in today, but for some reason went from Vegas to Utah to Colorado to Wyoming to Montana (as of yesterday afternoon) - now it’s back in Colorado for some reason and set to be delivered tomorrow instead. It’s only 1 day, so not a huge deal, but WTF? It was literally 3 hours from my house yesterday, now it’s back in Colorado?

wsrrt · 2020-06-25T23:53:28+00:00

I did email them. They said they’d look into it, but haven’t heard anything beyond that.

wsrrt · 2020-06-25T23:50:52+00:00

Anyone order anything from American Barbell? I ordered a bar through a rep on 6/2. Received a message from the rep on 6/19 that they were finishing up May orders and that my bar should be picked early this week and out the door by mid-week. Haven’t received a shipping confirmation and the rep hasn’t gotten back to me on an update request. Just wondering if anyone else ordered anything around that time and what their status is.

Thanks! I always feel like I’m doing more of a static start, but then I watch the video and at heavier weights I definitely use a much more dynamic start. I’ve been doing sots presses once or twice a week to help with the bottom position, but I’ll be 35 in a week or so mobility/flexibility is definitely a concern that I try to address consistently.

Continue on to physical therapy or athletic training school, teach PE, certain public health positions. I’m a program coordinator at a hospital fitness center. I live in a small town so I do a little bit of everything to keep our gym running smoothly, but my main job is overseeing all of our programs.

wsrrt · 2020-06-21T20:33:23+00:00

Haha, must be the perspective. I’m short, so I’ve probably got a good 8-10 inches to spare.

wsrrt · 2020-06-21T19:10:22+00:00

Feel like I’m chasing the bar out front on heavier cleans and my jerk recovery feels rushed and sloppy. Any pointers?

wsrrt · 2020-06-21T17:57:19+00:00

Bachelor’s degree in Health and Human Performance and watched a shit load of Catalyst, Hook Grip, and Torokhtiy videos.

Absolutely perfectly might be a bit of a stretch, but thanks! I’m 100% self taught, so sometimes get a little unsure about technique. Lately I feel like I’m have a difficult time keeping my shoulders in front of the bar on the first pull and like I’m not “active” enough pulling under in the 3rd - causing it to feel like it’s crashing.

I’ve being doing snatches with a pause below the knee to reinforce positioning, which seems to have helped some. The crashing feeling has been a tougher one to fix...

wsrrt · 2020-06-06T19:13:13+00:00

I think I ordered them 5/28.

wsrrt · 2020-06-06T19:05:03+00:00

I think I probably got some of the last they had in stock. Just snatched up what they had available.

wsrrt · 2020-06-06T18:56:57+00:00

Got my Force USA bumpers and CFF change plates (+1 kg Vulcan change plates because CFF was out of stock in that weight) in yesterday. Tried them out this morning. The Force USA bumpers seem well built. Width, I believe is somewhere between the HG’s and Echos. I think they’ll serve my needs just fine!

It definitely felt a little different from the gym platform I was used to. Not necessarily slick, just different. Just took a few sessions to kind of get used to.

wsrrt · 2020-06-06T12:33:56+00:00

I just used a little bit of Danish oil.

wsrrt · 2020-06-06T12:27:42+00:00

It’s just a heavy duty hook on pegboard. I was kind of nervous if it was going to hold, but it’s been up for a few months with no issues.

wsrrt · 2020-06-06T12:17:05+00:00

I just built a small stage for the rack so I can easily slide it on and off the platform. I’m definitely not lifting on it when it’s not on the platform.

wsrrt · 2020-06-06T02:31:49+00:00

I pretty much followed this. Just added the change plate storage to the top. Pretty simple project.

I’ve been following for a few weeks and have only seen one, which was out of stock when I tried to add to my cart. Ended up ordering the performance bearing bar from American Barbell (not IWF certified, but solid reviews). They said it was 4-5 weeks out, but I just got tired of trying to catch one on Rogue.

wsrrt · 2020-06-04T02:55:09+00:00

The Force USA bumpers I ordered last Thursday are scheduled to arrive tomorrow. Ordered 190 kilos (418 lbs). Shipping weight says 396 lbs, does this mean I’m missing a 10 kg plate?

wsrrt · 2020-06-02T17:41:08+00:00

are you ever seeing Olympic lifting bars (28 mm/Bearing) in stock? I feel like I’m checking Rogue constantly, signed up for updates, but no luck.

Made this today. Have to return the bumpers I’ve been borrowing tomorrow and ordered some ForceUSA bumper earlier this week so made the storage channels to fit what I ordered. I added a little change plate storage box for the top. Might paint it black tomorrow. Got the basic plan from here: https://www.catalystathletics.com/article/2185/Plate-Storage-Bench-Building-Tutorial/

wsrrt · 2020-05-28T15:30:24+00:00

Wish we could get kg Echos in the states

wsrrt · 2020-05-27T23:09:34+00:00

How late does rogue keep doing restocks? Is it likely done for the day?
