I've notice this happens when I wear loose fitting shorts or joggers. Almost all my workout pants have ripped crotch seams. My hookgrip training shorts are fine. I don't typically wear compression shorts under just regular boxer briefs.

Is this a technique diff or clothing issue? I would like to not be in pain anymore.

I tried to slow down on the descent but knees can’t help but still cave in. My core isn’t as strong as everything else so I’m not sure if that could be why my knees cave.

Second part of the video - even with lighter weights my knees still cave in.

Used to be terrified of squatting under but over the last month I've grown to feel more comfortable doing so. 1 month in and I'm really happy with the progress!

Hi guys, I really need your help

My C&J is lacking due to my jerk. I keep pushing myself backwards in the jerk and missing. Unfortunately, I have no clue how to fix it.

My guess of the issue is short stepping the front foot, but my knee angle is usually at 90°.

However, my front foot always hit the floor first.

My focus is on driving straight up, keeping tension in abs, keeping head backwards, putting front foot futher.

I already do jerk balances, jerks behind the neck, press in jerk, push presses etc.

Do you have any tips?

My lower back starts rounding and hips tuck in above parallel with maximal weight in the back and front squat. As I get stuck, I want to push through and then this happens. I have no idea if this is due to lack of quad, hip or core strength. I don't feel any pain in my back, but I want to fix this to not risk a injury.

I know this is highly individual depending on the amount of muscle, arm length, mobility, etc... Because of exactly that I wanted to ask how you determine your strongest position and when you should change it?

Somewhat related, I get bruises from heavy cleans and reracks on my left collarbone. It's probably due to lacking strength in the upper back, but maybe changing my arm/hand position might help.

(I drew this in powerpoint, don't judge me please :) )

Repost, sorry for the false advertising before! Thought it was a muscle clean if you don’t use hips (I’m a larper). But while I’m here, I’d love some advice on how to get more comfortable with it. I usually end up hitting my balls or just losing all momentum, so I spent a year and a half learning it with no contact. I feel like I could do a lot more if I actually learned it. It feels fun and fast up to 102 kg, but above that, it feels worse than what I normally do I, just shit the bed. I can hardly hang clean 102 either, is this a good or bad problem to have?

just hit my first 100kg snatch, really happy that i did it after a lot of hard work! i know form really needs to get better but the year is just beggining!! lets go!

Also, weightlifting its not my main sport, crossfit is. even tho the weightlifting part is my favorite lol

Time to rack it.

no matter how hard I train legs, they never seem to get bigger 👎

What you think about the split jerk? It's what I find hardest.

I also am aware of being not patient enough and getting on my toes early but I can’t seem to make it click

My elbows hurt while back squatting. What might I be doing wrong?

Clean + Front Squat + Jerk

Any advice on making these heavy ass cleans smoother/more efficient?

Rate my form plz
You can follow me on insta - @aaryan_wl 😊

32kg weighted dips at @85kg

What do you think this form focus on, is there a downside, an upside? I'm new to this exercise and recently implemented it to my training routine but already did ring dips in the past

Hey guys, Im 27, 89kg 196lbs, Just started training weightlifting style a couple weeks ago. Looking for some pointers on transitioning from initial pull to the catch, and also any advice for anything else. Also looking to document my progress somewhere.

I recently saw a video of li dayin, and then shortly after karlos nasar and I was really impressed with their physiques and how strong they are, and then I saw all of you in here and was like damn these guys and gals are WAYY stronger than me despite me having all this (apprently useless) muscle. I somehow knew nothing about the sport up to now and think it might finding a new passion haven't missed a gym session since starting new training.

Thanks in advance, cheers!
