why does every lifter at the arnold have their feet parallel during the start position of the snatch

thanks for the info
i have wide feet, and my powerlift4s have been fine, but could be better

a word of advice - try on weightlifting shoes made after 2010 before buying. every shoe after roughly this period has been engineered for crossfitters and are designed with running in mind as well as oly. i have romaelo 2s and they are heavy, thick and grippy as fuck. romaleo 3s sacrifice these desirable traits for speed (such as in the crossfit games).

Poorfag student here lads, any reccys on good value oly/squat shoes? Been lifting in some pink cons for ~6 years and theyre about to burst off my feet.
The strengthshop ones seem alright to my uneducated eye, if slightly golf shoe looking

can you guys think of any non bloatlord lifters with good form, who are 6'2/188cm or taller? besides pic related?

If you are 6'2, your only options are 109 or 109+. So no.

>A HIGH-BAR ASS-TO-GRASS back squat in excess of both 2 times bodyweight AND 200kg
this is too low, I got this back in college. if only coach had put me in senior year, we'd have gone to state for sure...no doubt in my mind.
but forreal i'll dig up the footage i guess

you can get adidas leistung or nike rom 3s very cheap online.

i know a couple personally they obviously aren't competing internationally but it's wild seeing dyel lanklets snatching 100kg+ due to good form

going for a new Snatch PR tomorrow if all goes well, this last week has been emotionally shitty to the point of affecting me phisycally and just warming up is dreadful but I have faifth

Iktf bro. Lifes been a bit like that for me too lately. You're gonna get your PR, lad. I believe in you

Tian Tao can lift so much fucking weight that the size of his hands get in the way.
what do you think he could snatch if he didn't have baby hands (since he claims that it doesn't bother his c&j too much)?

wait for a sale and go try the Adidas PowerPerfect 3s
i managed to cop mine for way less than 100€ that way (pic related)

hi dear

those are horrible. online you can get the leistungs for $60 and the rom 3s are damn close to that

>copped brand new romaleos for 214euro 2 months ago
>now some sick full black antas are coming out

welp

honestly the adidas power perfect 2 is the best weightlifting shoe money can buy

I dig their aesthetic plus always been an adidas fan but where the helld o you even get them anymore?

i want some antas but unironically afraid to get them now because of coronavirus

If you are to be true power perfect 2 hero then the shoe will find you. however, if you are trying to change one's colors then you must sift through online shoppes to find it.

Thanks bra, literally have the same foot as you

But I can't jump rope with those

You don't suck on them, you dip. It's shoes.

>85kg bw
>3pl8 front squat
how impressive is this
should i bother front squatting, or just back squat?

See >>A front squat in excess of both 1.8 times bodyweight AND 180kg
You should front and back squat ideally but I'd drop back squats before front

how do i stop my fingers from getting cucked front squatting
should i just tape them?

power perfect 2 are like the best. everyone says the adistar but like, who the fuck is dropping quadruple digits on lifters.

you wont get corona you fucking tard. but yeah anta is solid, for chinese rip off romaleos theyre actually pretty good.

Not sure but the beginning of the lift is like a deadlift.

I wasn't there for this. Did y'all scare Zack off?

tfw when you find brand new white Adipowers in your size at the thrift store for $15

thanks brah but it didn't happen because I literally pussied out despite doing a high pull, so just worked on my technique at lighter weights which probably was the best since my technique is suspicious to say the least

Ristos aren't made any more, are they :( pic related is the pair I've been using since like 2012. yes, I'm short and have tiny baby man feet.
are other brands wide for when I inevitably have to retire these?

Absolute garbage,

Don't even think about it.

Just save up for an extra month, and you can easily afford some decent shoes

I almost ktf. Got mine on ebay for $40.

>i’m the same age as lasha
i have done nothing with my life

You think that's bad, try being the same age as Lu and doing nothing with your life

will olympic lifting give me a huge/thick upper back, bros?

the main lifts have no eccentric phase, so not on its own. all the accessory work and pulls tend to generate a lot of volume though.
1x15 rest pause (8-5-3) tempo (3-0-3) Yates rows will build your upper back

Nah heavy pendlay rows and pulluos/chins
Weightlifting stuff will give you sick traps though

Nice.

How to lose fear of getting under when trying new prs?

deload week
running in the mornings
plans to lift 3-4 times to keep form
snatch balance
jerk balance
not being a pussy
strengthening bottom position

i know the other two replies are saying otherwise, but the snatch and clean have done more for back development than anything else ive ever done -- once the cleans got heavy enough. lats, traps, etc. are bigger and thicker than ever.

the chinese do these behind the neck pullups/pulldowns and you can see every muscle in their back contracting

accept that you'll drop the weight sometimes. you need to learn to bail, and bail safely.

>ywn get a pair
fuck bros why does it have to be this way

It will eventually. It'll take longer than if you just did normal bodybuilding
