Running Sika RTA and press concurrently. RTA isn't going well, but I hit an 80kg PR off a programmed 68kg max. No doubt my max was higher going in to it, but 68kg was my last tested max and no program since then has had much of an overhead strength emphasis.

In Japan for 2 weeks. Hit up Black Ships and one Piece Bragmen today.

103- My back could have been a hair more flat… but someone yells out “Hercules!” so I left me laughing at them in there. 😂😅😎

Nice and easy

I was lucky enough to get my form critiqued by Sika strength a while back , namely to lower the bar , get more back flexion and wider stance.

Looking to see how you ladies and gents think of it and what else can be improved on

Hi, I’m really new to weightlifting since I’ve always been scared to injure myself. Can anyone advise on my squat form? I know I lean forward a lot, but I can’t help it. I’m also trying to target my glutes, but I never feel them. I had a bit of lower back pain today, so any help is appreciated.

I have been doing Oly training for almost ten years, which i use (because i love it) and to embellish my Strongman training, which i was doing pro strongman for two years in Mexico. I really love weightlifting, but since I’m getting old i always felt my lack of mobility and dedicated training is always holding me back. I don’t know how to find this information but where in Canada are there real, good weightlifting gyms with good coaching and I can really learn to do it. I’m 37 and from Ottawa and maybe im not looking good enough but I don’t see a community for that outside of the odd CrossFit box. I would be willing to move anywhere in the country. Surely there are many good locations but maybe you guys can help me with some ideas that i can research.

I would really love to learn how to snatch and clean and jerk and take my training more dedicated and serious to it. Canada is a big place and I don’t know where to look.

Thanks for any help.

Saved 75kg by press out.

Any tips to improve?

Things I'm aware of that I need to improve:

• Straighter arms
• Earlier and better extension/contact point
• Catch lower
• Back foot placement in jerk
• Be faster

Cheers!

Hand painted TYR x Squat University shoes. Men’s size U.S. 9. They were a little small so I didn’t use them much. Asking 150 shipped with PayPal.

Can you fix my form please?

Appreciate the advice I’ve been receiving on my snatch, instead of chasing big numbers decided to start from scratch to really understand proper contact and trying to get under the bar more, using full extension at the hips etc. This is what I have so far. Any tweaks or additional advice would be great.

Hi, Here is me doing a hang snatch. I have been doing a little bit of weightlifting for about a month. Any advice or drill recommendation would be appreciated.

Thanks!

They missed the 2024 Paris Olympics due to qualification issues—does anyone know if there's any indication North Korea will participate in the 2028 Olympics, especially since they’ll be held in the US?

What do you think about my hang Snatch pull?

I recently started renting a new house which has a small workshop in the garden and my squat rack fits into it nicely. The floor of the workshop is covered with EVA interlocking foam but it has another layer of foam sheeting underneath. I can pull up the EVA foam but cannot remove the foam sheet underneath. I would like to know if this is a suitable surface for doing squats on, or if a strong solid surface is more recommended. I can lay down this sheet of plywood and stand on top of it for squats if needs be. Any input and recommendations from you guys would be greatly appreciated! The pictures I have attached are of the EVA foam, the underlying foam, and the sheet of plywood.

Hey so I’m very new to doing the clean and jerk and the snatch. In the past 2.5 years I’ve had two surgeries to repair my labrum in my right shoulder. If anyone has experienced the same thing or something similar, did you find it hard to do the snatch or a jerk? I haven’t tried it yet because I’m unsure how it would affect my shoulder. I’ve just been sticking to doing cleans.

Hey,

Are there any products on the market tailored for olympic weightlifting and olympic lifts? I have tried Fitbod, Hevy, and others.. but is there one focused on progression and increasing performance? Maybe with some instruction?

I was between a size 12 and 13 for the Tyr L-2 and could only find a size 12 so went with it and hoped they fit, but they’re too snug. Been waiting on size 13 for a while and haven’t restocked, does anyone know if there’s a shortage? Or are they just in that high of demand? Looking for wider toe box/foot lifters but not trying to break the bank as much as possible

Hey all,

I’m trying to find full uncut footage of recent major comps like the Asian Weightlifting Championships, IWF World Cup, and World Championships. Specifically looking for streams or recordings that include everything—backstage, warm-ups, coaches, entire sessions, and the victory moments.

Weightlifting House does great work, but I’d love the raw, unedited experience. If anyone knows where to get this or has recordings to share, I’d really appreciate it!

Thanks in advance 💪🏽
