I picked up running this summer with that same thought process regarding overall athleticism. I want to be able to run a 5K distance on any given day with moderate effort and just be healthier. Thankfully it hasn't impacted my oly and weight training too much
@rub4179 Sure! Finding the right foot width is big I think. Depending on your body you may need to have them a little wider and turned out just a hair to allow room for your hips to drop down into the hole properly. Really making sure that your upper back is tight and shoulder blades "pinched" together seems to help. It takes some practice and finding out what works for you
The rubber stall mats for your platform will probably be fine for 99% of your training. The only benefit that I think that there is to having wood on the platform is if it happens to be really humid and wet because then sometimes the rubber itself will be wet.
@@RU-vidr-ku4nk like deficit deadlifts, standing on a little raised platform? If so, then yes! They are actually on this program I've been doing. I have deficit deadlifts on Mondays and regular deadlifts on Fridays! Thanks for checking out the vid!
@@Trent-Edwards No, I meant like instead of dropping the bar you would bring it down slowly. Fairly new research shows that the negatives are the most effective because you stretch the muscles while being under load and it is the most effective at the most stretched position. It is even more effective that full range of motion drills.
You bought it, so no longer call it “the bosses house” 😅 Super excited to have found this channel. I just ordered a rack, a brench, barbell and weights and rubber flooring to setup just in a used bedroom in my apartment. I’m not dropping weight and don’t touch ground when deadlifting so I don’t think it will bother the downstair neighbors 🤞🏼
Congrats man. That is a big life accomplishment, you should be proud of yourself!! Check out bells of steel squat stands, nice quality for probably the best price you’ll find. Can have some attachments
@0fcourse101 thank you! The wife and I are super proud. Just ordered some plates and a squat stand. Going to check out a used equipment store today for more accessories
that looks like a perfect form deadlift to me, if you get your hips higher you are gonnaend up using your back a lot more, im the other way arround my hips are too high in the deadlift and i always end up using my back more than my legs so im always trying to get my deadlifts form like you have in the video, in my opinion hips need to be high enough so they dont shoot up when you start the pull, but not so high that you cant get a neutral back and you end up rounding it so i think the clean deadlift start position for me is the best way to do it.
I appreciate the feedback and I would tend to agree with you about pulling in a more clean-like position. I'm always super self conscious about my form because I don't want to hurt myself
Man the last two weeks of snatch workouts for me have been not good. Getting pretty frustrated and it ruins the rest of the workout. Ik its part of the process but damn lol
My weakness has been the lazy catch in the snatch as well. I hone in on extension and "elbows up" and then just am floppy after that. I push frequently but I wonder what variation would help with the consistent intensity needed for the lockout
Yes, it can absolutely be self taught. It will be harder but there is a lot of knowledge on RU-vid just need to sift through some of the crap. Zak Telander has some great videos for beginners. Garage Strength has a lot of knowledge regarding general Strength training (he has taken tons of athletes to world championships and the olympics). Sika Strength is great as well!
Thank you! They are VERY tough. I've ran like 4 or 5 now. I would say you need to be a little experienced and in tune with how your body and how it is feeling. You will likely need to auto-regulate especially when you get later into the programs
I get that with power snatches...was doing some yesterday and they were bad, went to hip power snatch with the same weight and it was much easier. I must rush the second pull and shoot forward on full powers.
I feel the same way about pause squats vs normal bounce...the bounce throws me off sometimes. I alsmost feel like I find myself doing more of a tempo squat normally compared to a fast bounce.
