Member 4669, 61 posts SQ 200, BP 155, DL 280 635.0 kgs @ 92kgs UnEq	Basically i've been wanting to do some oly lifts for ages and i finally tried them tonight. Just looking for some feedback and a few pointers, cheers guys...be gentle with me...

Looks like you're using your arms too much and just pressing it real fast, whilst splitting your legs. Arms need to be relaxed, it's all in the legs until you have to just catch the weight with locked arms.

Right got you, i'm still getting to grips with the actual grip of it too, puts your wrists in such a weird position!

After you've caught it, the bar doesn't rise any higher. If you watch closely, the top guys drop under the bar, then do an overhead lunge with the bar. I try to get the bar to land in my hands as close to where it is before the jerk, so where my clavicles were before I dip under the bar. Having said that, I'm not a top oly lifter - I was pretty pants at best. Reza's WR with 263.5kg is about the same as lighter guys with 200kg. Technique is almost identical.

Got it, More Dipping, less Pressing

Gone and easily forgotten....... Member 331, 22298 posts SQ 185, BP 100, DL 230 515.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq	Good stuff mate, put some weight on. Do your "stand there and think" with your lightest weights only. If you stand there for 5-6 seconds thinking things out with a heavy weight you will probably have difficulty.

nothing to hide, please follow my life on webcam Member 255, 3732 posts	Looks good and positive. Lifters are usually encouraged to recover the front foot first if possible.

Full mask or nasal and chin strap? Member 3254, 2485 posts	Nothing to worry about there Keep practicing... You more you do them the more you'll learn The movement looks fine for a beginner to work from, we all start somewhere Your starting position and use of legs is promising

My asshole is not watertight. Member 2926, 6050 posts SQ 217.5, BP 107.5, DL 225 550.0 kgs @ 86kgs UnEq	Wigan said:Not much wrong with those, I've seen a lot worse on the competitive platform. You mean you've watched me lift yet never introduced yourself!!!! I agree with everyone! They look very good, especially for a first attempt but a vid of heavier lifts would potentially show where the errors would start to creep in.

Member 4669, 61 posts SQ 200, BP 155, DL 280 635.0 kgs @ 92kgs UnEq	Thabnks guys, really good advice here, I'll post an update video with heavier weight/more dipping down + Catching. On a side note my right knee is a wee bit sore, anybody get this?
