Member 3694, 281 posts SQ 260, BP 172.5, DL 280 712.5 kgs @ 132kgs UnEq	I've started to do the olympic lifts, but my gym is s**t so have to do them at home, thing is I've only got an axle with fixed wheels, just wondering how much harder it is to do the full lifts with an axle over a proper bar and bumper plates?

Trump will get another four years Member 126, 16707 posts SQ 160, BP 110, DL 225 495.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq	Approximately a million times harder. In fact, I'm shocked you can do them at all lol.

I know it's far from ideal, but it's all I've got available at the moment, and hopefully will help strengthen my wrist up too, I will go to a decent gym with the proper equipment (platforms, bars and bumpers) once a month but I'm tied into my gym until next year so hopefully I can use this time to try get my technique half decent then once I can join the new gym I can really focus on it.

Just use the broom stick until you hit the gym.

Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22059 posts	The grip could be an issue too.

hermit Member 3904, 988 posts	As everyone has pointed out, the snatching will very on impossible, such a long distance to deal with a fat bar trying to twist its way out of your hands! Your doing extremely well though, this is very impressive! I reckon there is worthwhile accessory work you can do at home, the jerk & front squat stuff you are already doing is not a bad start. I would add a press from a deep squat position, snatch grip BTN presses from squat position, very fast and precise snatch balance/drop snatch, and work on squat jerks even if you are a split jerker. You could also sharpen up the split jerks you are doing, more consistent drive/catch position and wider split. I like that you are multirepping your jerks. Various deadlift/pull variations for strength, and maybe stretching your hips joints with the bar on knees stretch so you can get deeper snatches. Lastly, take some air out of your tyres.
