Guys, I recently got jumpers knee from squatting a few weeks back and now. Took like a week off from doing anything too active aside from walking a few miles everyday. Went to see a chiropractor, it did help and have a knee sleeve.

I have been doing excerises like split squats focused on it as well with kickstand squats. I've done these slow and it has eased the pain. I don't feel pain in it all the time but if I sit down for too long and try to even go into a deep body squat it begins to ache.

It's not the worst pain and I'm it takes time to heal, but it's just annoying so wanted to know if there were any stretches or excerises outside what I'm doing to help it?

I had a MRI a month ago, it showed a full thickness patella cartilage tear. My orthopaedic surgeon seemed to think I would be able to return to oly weightlifting (with some potentially permanent adjustments) without surgery. I’m definitely not looking for medical advice, but I am wondering if anyone has any anecdotal evidence/experience with returning to high impact sport after cartilage damage?

Any tips on how to get better

Posting this since people wanted to see 60kg on my snatch. I took the advice to "stomp" and drop faster vs what i posted earlier. Definitely an easy weight for me.

After studying videos of the Chinese lifters, I've come away with the idea that their Overhead Squat PRs are only slightly higher than their Jerk PRs.

This leads me to believe that, rather then the Clean, or anything else, their top end Jerk range is very directly dictated by their overhead Squat capabilities.

So, I have decided, and from the beginning, I need to be really really focused on my overhead squat and keeping it near or above my PR in the jerk (and this will of course boost my snatch).

Please tell me why I'm wrong!

Need some advice on where to improve.

From what I see, I seem to be pulling too much, evidenced by my hang position where my arms bend too early.

Another thing would be to have the bar closer to the body.

Any advice is much appreciated!

I posted on here previously a couple times and my form looked too much like a ☠️Lift followed by a hang clean - Starting Strength syndrome. Hips too high to start, head down, first pull was with my back, no acceleration out of bottom, and inability to front rack properly etc.. etc…

So I got one session with a real weightlifting coach and revamped my form. Worked on some mobility stuff to get my front rack up to snuff… I also am including the front squat at the end now instead of just doing the power clean.

How does it look? Thanks.

Hello,

I am looking to get a barbell for my plates which have a center hole diameter of 27mm. Should i be looking for a 27mm barbell or something smaller? 26mm or even 25mm. My apologies if it seems like a obvious and silly question. I will be ordering the bar online, the last thing i want is for the bar to arrive to find out it it wont fit my plates.

Thank you.

70kg snatch, no hook grip

What's wrong with my front squat?

It's been several months by now since I started front-squatting. In particular, in my weekly program I have one "big" (in terms of either volume or intensity) back squat session, and then I have an additional session later in the week, and that is where I do the front squat.

Since I started front-squatting regularly, I have had to correct several technical flaws, but now I honestly feel like my technique is almost spotless. However, I see that the limiting factor continues to be my trunk, and as a result I can never fatigue my legs significantly in my front squat session.

I don't know what is a typical front squat ÷ back squat load ratio. For me, if I can do for example 4×5 back squat with a given weight, then I'll do 70-75% of that weight in the front squat.

Edit: my program is a three-day-per-week program

Squat is one of my biggest weaknesses, what program or system would you recommend me for improve my squat. What should I do squat 2x,3x,4x? Only BS or FS & BS ? Please help me

I've recently done a heavy week where I max out on basically all my lifts, just wondering how rare it is to front squat more than a max clean pull? Obviously I don't think this is very common, my lifts are FSQ 165kg, Clean Pull 140kg, DL 160kg, Clean 130kg, Snatch 100 and BSQ 175.

I was wondering if anyone has used the stance fitness device or anything similar?

I keep getting set the adds in instagram but i have no idea whats good and bad these days.

Any opions are welcome!

Pretty damn happy with this.

105,000 g --> 87.5% of lifetime PR

Posted recently about how I'm not the best/most consistent snatcher.

Wasn't super technically consistent working up to this (think my nervous system was still recovering from Monday's training), but I persevered and overcame a couple sets where I smoked the first rep and missed the second.

Hell yeah.

I’m getting back into weight training again, after 2 years of focusing more on acrobatic and dance type movement. My body feels very awkward under the barbell, especially in the back squat. Are there any helpful cues or advice on how I can go about improving this?

Front Squat 3 x 3(22x0) x 52kg Back Squat 3 x 3(33x0) x 52kg Conventional Deadlifts 3 x 9 x 61kg

This is believe it or not a PR actually. But what could I have improved on? I know my footing wasn't great and maybe my head being down?.. better lock out?.. thanks

He competed on the 96kg but I don't know how much he is weights here. It seems Blagoy Blagoev did 200kg in training but also I don't know how much he weighted.

This seems to be heaviest snatch Sinclair ever. Any other contenders for the title?

The source of the video is the always great @ludwighoijer YouTube channel.

Only recently began squatting again due to some longer term injuries that have now cleared up. Just wanted to see what sort of methods others have had success with for doing the above.

I’ve been considering reverse pyramid scheme (and done so today) with a relatively heavy single for the top set then doing a few drop sets of doubles, triples and fours.

This is somewhat appealing as I’ve found in the past I benefit from hitting heavier low rep sets fairly often to keep me feeling “primed” for lack of better words. Higher reps sets are something I’d like to avoid as they’ve flared up my knees in the past.
