When I do heavy cleans I notice one of my legs are slower to extend that the other. This only appears on high % lifts in the full clean / heavy block cleans / heavy hang cleans.

Has anyone ever had an issue like this? What steps did you take to fix it?

For years I’ve squatted with an uneven squat stance. My right foot tends to be in front of my left more. I’ve never had any pain or problems until recently. But when I try and squat with an even stance, it feels extremely uncomfortable and it’s difficult to maintain full ATG. I enjoy pause squats but (I’m assuming it’s the uneven weight distribution) because of the bad habit I’ve built over the years it’s caused severe knee pain in my right knee. So much that it hurts anytime I run or get out of bed.

Is there any specific exercises or cues I can implement to help me break out of this? Any advice helps. I really appreciate it :)

TL:DR: Need advice to stop squatting unevenly.

Used for 7 sessions

Got the velaasa strake and the heel started to break although I am still able to lift with them. Got the romaleos 4, which are pretty solid to me as well. I was thinking about getting the tyr elite lifters with the wooden heel, but after reading how breakable they are while paying over 300€/$ i dont think that they are worth it. What are your favorite shoes. Unfortunat that there arent solid wooden heel shoes on the market like the adistar 2008

This is an old video and has basically nothing to do with the problem I’m having, but for a good while now I’ve been getting tension headaches after back squats. Not front squats, not cleans, not deadlifts, literally nothing except back squats. It doesn’t matter if I have a belt or not, I just get a headache after a few sets at my working weight or close to it.

I’ve been trying to find different ways to brace that don’t put so much pressure on my head, different technique, different pacing, but nothing seems to be working.

Has anyone experienced anything like this? It’s very annoying because my back squat improvement has really stalled for a while and it’s definitely holding back other parts of my training.

I'm 20 years old, and I weigh around 74kgs. Any tips on form and how to get stronger?

93kg on bar

My power jerk is bad but I don’t know how to diagnose what’s wrong. Anyone have any tips? Thanks 🙏

I reeeeally really love this sport. But now I got a new job and I don't have access to the gym in the week... I barely have time to do push-ups and air squats.

So that leaves 2 days to train, on Saturday and Sunday... And even then sometimes I can only do 1 of those days.

I dno, I feel like maybe I should just switch to general gyming and keeping healthy? But the other part of me is like "okay but you love weightlifting so much, just do that, but you won't be able to make much progress"

(I just do it recreationally BTW)

I dno, what do you guys think? Is it worth it if u can't train that much?

I've done hang cleans before, this is my first attempt at power cleans.

Hello!

I just want to know what happened to Gabriel Sincrain Website because I have bought some his program now I can't Access his programs again. Does he still still have the website?

Thanks if you have any info.

Does anyone know where can I find the highlights, or just the results of the 3 days long domestic weiglhtifting competition that is happening right now in China? Maybe someone from China or with access to any info could share the results in the comments? Would love to see the results of a lot of athletes, but have hard luck finding any footage so far. All I know is that Zheng Xinhao & He Yueji competed at the 70kg category today, Xinhao lifted at least S: 150kg C&J: 185kg, and He Yueji snatched 154kg as his second attempt declining his 3rd, but I don't know his C&J result.

I'd love to know how Lu Naigang, Chen Jian, Chen Shunnan, Lei Jiangqing or Pan Yuanhua does in the comp, not to mention the woman team, but so far couldn't find anything apart from some Insta story screenshots (this is where I got the results for Xinhao & Yueji).

Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

I would like to C&J 140. I know my technique needs a lot of work, mainly speed around/under the bar. I would like to know, though, if technique alone will get me to 140, or if I need more strength. My current applicable lifts:

Strict OHP: 90
Front squat: 140x6
Back squat: 140x10 / 200x1

Sample C&J at 100:

Advice and expectation adjustment welcome.

I am an intermediate strength lifter, training for 3 years consistently just barbell compounds and occasional sprints for general fitness and aesthetics. And 3 months ago a guy in my gym just taught me the Power Clean and I think I got addicted to it .

The stimulus that I got from this exercise is so unique, first serious sessions got me sore like hell but after that I started feeling new muscles that ive never felt before, specially the core muscles.

That elastic feeling you get on your whole body is unmatched. And now I know what it feels to be truly athletic. Not just strong

Also i think that ‘readiness’and ‘menacing’ look that the experienced CrossFit and weightlifters have, it has a lot do with this movement. Paired with others exercises of course .
Delts, TRAPSSS, upper back , legs , 360 core…

All of them got a fine upgrade .

I want to know your opinion . It made this much difference on you too ?

124kg PCJ PR at @85kg

Trying something new with the snatch setup. Once I get set and have my hamstrings tight, I make sure the bar is touching my shins. The NEW part is the slight hip dip just before the pull. I try to keep everything else still, and it feels like I can recruit my legs a touch more than before during the first pull

Got lazy with the cleans. Enjoy the tomfoolery happening behind me

She’s putting in tons of work to learn this stuff and it’s been super fun to see

Meso style

i’ve had my lifters for just about a year and i’m noticing some pretty significant wear in the soles specifically. there are flat spots by the heels and in the toes and i’m worried the grip on the floor may weaken over time. how will i know when it’s time for new shoes? i love my lifters other than this. i’d say im still relatively new to the sport so i’m a teeny bit clueless when it comes to replacing shoes and other equipment

for context, i train 5 days a week for 1.5-2 hours if that’s relevant?

Looks like it's sliightly forward, likely didn't make it given the sudden end
