i just don't feel strong with it, like it doesn't lock

2018-03-07 23:29:38 UTC  

and slips out when i go heavier

2018-03-07 23:53:40 UTC  

Chalk?

2018-03-07 23:54:34 UTC  

nope

2018-03-07 23:54:49 UTC  

don't have any

2018-03-07 23:55:17 UTC  

Ah yeah, get some chalk it’s cheap. If gym doesn’t allow powder then use liquid

2018-03-07 23:56:20 UTC  

home gym 👌

2018-03-07 23:57:32 UTC  

It’s game changer

2018-03-08 20:03:43 UTC  

I’m transitioning to more oly lifts. Anyone have experience competing in Olympic weightlifting?

2018-03-08 20:11:50 UTC  

I compete with the barbell every time I snatch.

2018-03-08 20:12:28 UTC  

I've no experience with competition but I'm somewhat competent with the lifts

2018-03-08 20:29:09 UTC  

My sister competes in Olympic weightlifting

2018-03-08 20:29:19 UTC  

We train together often

2018-03-08 21:43:56 UTC  

I don't have experience competing but I'd definitely say finding a coach is a requirement

2018-03-08 22:41:53 UTC  

My friend is a competitive one but he’s not /our guy/ yet

2018-03-08 22:42:26 UTC  

I want to clean 140kilo

2018-03-10 17:12:13 UTC  

When you lift at a crossfit gym and it's the open.

2018-03-10 17:12:31 UTC  

Got to lift outside as if I'm the idiot.

@Fox yeah CrossFit boxes aren't very accommodating to people not doing their particular course. I have one right next door but they only have 1 hour 2x a day of "open gym" so instead I travel 30 min each way to get to a good barbell gym.

2018-03-11 06:17:30 UTC  

True. I love being apart of the box. I catch a lot of shit for not CrossFiting but I am also know everyone and make great friends doing so.

2018-03-13 02:56:02 UTC  

That first post-conference workout is painful. No more off days!

2018-03-13 04:16:34 UTC  

Haha, if/when we get an IE compound I assume there will be tons of squat racks

2018-03-13 14:25:20 UTC  

All members must preform back squats before continuing with any other exercise.

2018-03-13 17:10:50 UTC  

405 back squat mandatory

2018-03-13 17:45:32 UTC  

All reps are to he counted as "One, Mr. Rippetoe. Two, Mr. Rippetoe."

2018-03-13 22:13:38 UTC  

The dudes in the back talking about my lift as I’m doing it threw me off some. I think I had three more

2018-03-13 22:59:50 UTC  

Dude do you have any knee pain? Looked like they were going way past your toes.

2018-03-13 23:02:33 UTC  

going past your toes ain't the problem, its putting all the pressure through them that is. One can lead to the other tho

2018-03-13 23:03:32 UTC  

Or so I think

2018-03-14 04:46:20 UTC  

My knees feel great tbh. I run all the time too. I normally wear knee sleeves but forgot them back in my dorm in Texas. I’ve always done high bar pause squats like that and no pain. I’m routinely over 2-2.5x bodyweight no issues

2018-03-14 04:48:05 UTC  

Also I’m in weightlifting shoes that have a .75” heel so my ankle flexion angle is probably comparable to those in flat shoes who don’t go over toes

2018-03-14 04:49:38 UTC  

I’ll draw up some fbd of it tomorrow to see what’s good and use my measurements just cause

2018-03-16 01:31:26 UTC  

as long as heels dont come up, going past your toes is A okay

2018-03-17 15:12:14 UTC  

I’ve started taking more rest days. My sleep quality has improved and my bulk is finally working

2018-03-17 15:12:27 UTC  

Rest and recovery is super important fam

2018-03-21 00:28:32 UTC  

Nice dude. That is when your muscles grow!

2018-03-22 06:01:43 UTC  

Hit my first 60kg snatch today it felt amazing

2018-03-22 11:52:47 UTC  

Nice work!
