R U kidding??? Thats really cool!

If you can get video of U hitting that motion
I'd certainly like to see it -

The 2x175? I could probably get a friend to tape it for me. I haven't tried 200 yet, that was just a guestimate, but I think it's pretty close. I'm not saying my form is perfect or anything like that (I've heard that even the olympic lifters are still trying to perfect it) either. I also have a hard time actually getting under the weight, so I just try my best to get it as high as possible to make it easier for myself.

The Monkey Man · 09-10-2005, 04:07 PM

So... Lets see the two lifts, as is -

(I put my crappy lifts on here)

P-funk was able to spot some flaws in my form that I had overlooked

Squaggleboggin · 09-10-2005, 04:57 PM

I'll try to get my friend to tape me next time I do them, which should be in two or three days.

ccr_bballer33 · 09-11-2005, 10:47 PM

Say if I were to do these would I need to set aside a whole day just for these exercises or would I be able to add them on a certain day like Back or Leg day? Also..I have been reading at from what I got is that these are very beneficial for Basketball. Is that true? I think I should definitely incorporate these into my workouts then, any advice?

**P-funk** · 09-12-2005, 03:13 AM

they can be beneficial for any type of sport. If you were going to do them I would fins someone that is experienced with the lifts to teach you. Teaching yourself can be extremely difficult and dangerous. You realy need someone to watch your form. I would set up a program that allows me to do cleans 2-3 times a weeks as it takes many many reps to get the movement down.

Here is one of my all time favorite lifters Zlaten Vanev. He lifted for Bulgaria and now lifts for Qatar (since the bulgarian team was sold to them). He lifts as a 77kg lifter. This is a 207kg clean and Jerk.

Vanev

Vanev

Wow, he is possibly the fastest moving olympic lifter I have ever seen. He gets under that bar and snaps his elbows into front squat position ridiculously fast!

**P-funk** · 09-13-2005, 03:01 PM

I think Dimas still gets my vote as the fastest!

* Legion * · 09-13-2005, 03:19 PM

yeah, yeah, great lifts... but i still YELL better than all of em!!!! especially while stretching!

I yell when I stretch.

though i don't yell when performing my o-lifts (But sometimes when I squat I will let one out).

**CowPimp** · 09-13-2005, 03:24 PM

I've always been more of a grunt and groan kind of guy myself. I just can't see myself yelling unless I'm joking around with a training partner or something. Not that I really have a problem with it if it's genuine (Unlike those who scream out every repetition of a 15 rep set of DB curls nowhere near failure to show off their 13" arms). It's nice to see people use some intensity when they lift!

Yea, but I mean, when I do the o-lifts I am totally silent.

Oh no, i mean when i do things like barbell curls.. YELL YELL YELL!!! sometimes i jump up and down and spin around with the weights too. i like to celebrate each and every rep. I even yell when i drink water. keeps me pumped.

Maybe because you have to focus on so much more than just contracting the muscle?

When I do olympic lifts I am pretty silent too, no grunting or anything at all. I focus intensely on form each and every repetition, and I find it impossible to make noise. It's like I'm taking a test every time I do a repetition.

I do the same thing. And I never talk to other people at the gym; I yell at them while they're lifting to get them pumped too. The negative consequences, however, include several pissed off gym members holding heavy metal weights in their hands.

LOL (you know im joking, right?)

It is good to let others know where you are in your zone, but i am a solitary beast in my gym. Not a chatter. But this thread is about amazing lifts, so i feel bad goofing up this thread.

Squaggleboggin · 09-13-2005, 03:31 PM

Yes, and of course I'm joking as well. Just decided to have a little fun.

I feel the same way about it though - when you're doing an olympic lift, you have to concetrate on so much more than contracting a muscle because it's all about moving the weight properly, not 'feeling the burn' in you biceps or something. The form is near impossible to master, and you have to work on it constantly to get anything decent.

* Legion * · 09-13-2005, 03:34 PM

I always call to mind the character from "the program," lattamer, who was doing pushpresses and threw the barbell down, screaming and yelling after he finished. this is why my wife wont work out with me anymore.

The Monkey Man · 09-13-2005, 03:40 PM

I tend to hyperventilate when hitting heavy to max lifts...

And when my MP3 is up... I'm sure everyone can hear me sucking and blowing (no pun)

ahh geez, monkeyman, disgusting. and you tell ME to go take a shower. Maybe you should go do some spinning overhead squats with a triple jump negative.

Turkish Olympic Medalists Taner Sagir and Sedat Artuc Accused In Doping Scandal

ANKARA - Turkish Daily News

Three members of Turkey's weightlifting team, two of them Olympic medalists, have been accused by WADA, the World Anti-Doping Agency, of evading a routine dope test. The three men concerned are Taner Sagir who won the Olympic 77 kg title in Athens last year, 56 kg bronze medalist Sedat Artuc and Reyhan Arabacioglu. Turkish Weightlifting President Hasan Akkus reacted to the accusation by offering his resignation to Youth and Sports General Director Mehmet Atalay on Thursday. This was refused. "For the moment everybody needs to keep calm," said Atalay. "Resignation is not the solution." There was no immediate statement from any of the three lifters but national team coach Osman Nuri Vural claimed that they did not deliberately evade the test. They were, he said, watching Turkey A2's soccer match against Germany at the Ankara 19 Mayis Stadium on Wednesday when it took place. The International Weightlifting Federation normally treats evaders in the same way as it treats lifters who test positive and all three are facing possible 2-year bans. Triple Olympic champion Halil Mutlu is already expecting a suspension after testing positive for a banned substance at the European Championship earlier this year.
