@ViKtoricus Ive seen your videos and you are the true definition of Pathetic. You cant even clean and jerk 185 and when you missed you used the excuse of sweaty shoulders? You have no right to tell a man who probably does every one of your lifts x 3, well quite frankly, anything. You sir are a complete joke.
Badabuum1985, I think you have missed the concept of using bands and chains to develop speed strength. If you use 45-55% of your max with bands/chains it teaches your CNS that the weight is only going to get heavier through out the lift, so you had better get the weight moving extremely quickly as to beat the bands/chains. If you still don't get it I suggest you go to the west side barbell site and read some of their articles, there super heavy weight lifters out jump NFL players.
To use bands or chains is not a good idea in the snatch or clean. The aim is to get the weight flying and then go under it. The chains or bands are working against that "flying phase".
His technique and flexibility is horrible and his pure strength alone doesn't make him a good Olympic lifter. A good example is Mark Henry who had no chance at all in 1996 in Atlanta.
@Badabuum1985 Explain Vasily Alexeyev who frequently trained in water. " I invented many things
myself. For example, I began to work a great deal with the barbell in water. I searched and experimented...and here is the result. I made my way from 500
the negative comments are misplaced...he is to be commended for doing both olympic lifting and powerlifting...while it is true most olympic lifters dont train like this perhaps they should incorporate a strength phase like ths in their regimen..most of our olympic lifters could use some more pure strength and this guy has plenty
It's an interesting way to train and a LOT of Throwers and Strongmen train this way, a blend of Powerlifting and Weightlifting. But it's without question that the most impressive thing he does his his box squat while his least impressive feat is his competition pulls. True, the reason Americans are not winning is because they are weak, but the best Weighlifters (Greeks, Bulgarians, Russians) get strong doing Just squats, front squats, and a DL here and there.
He doesn't deadlift in this video, smart guy. Those are call "jump shrugs" and he preformed them correctly. You don't even know what lifts he's doing and you insult him? you = fail. you = weak. you = jealous. Or wait, I'm sure you compete a lot and hold many records. Why don't you post your 420lb front squat? 600lb squat? At least a 47 inch box jump, those are easy! Fucking fag.
this guy is very strong, but has no coordination. if you want to a OL, you must practice the full olympic lifts every day, it's that simple. powerlifting and weightlifting are much much diferent in biomechanics
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
wtf your not even close don't even go to the trial to even go to the Olympics. I know your over a 231 pounds so your going to be in the super heavy weight 105+kg class. if your not snatching at less 180kg and clean and jerk 225kg go home and just stay in shape.
Ok there ya toolbox, if you can read, this is the beginning of his training, lets say that again, BEGINNING! He competes in the 220 lb class in powerlifting, which means he is 220 or under, so he is not over 231 lbs. And lastly, olympic lifts require a lot of practice, I'm sure he will be lifting more in the later stages of training when his technique gets better.
It looks like this guy at 220lbs has a Clean of under 400 (according to the vid) and Snatch of under 280. Strong - yeah. An olympic lifter B class? No. Not even close.
to put it another way there are many little chinese girls under 70K who are stronger than Mash. A significantly higher CJ, S, FS, possibly even Push press
And they may well have been forced to train from childhood,as communists do. Training in the best of conditions,coaches and with a good likelihood of being roided up. While this guy says he started training last year. Don't forget the importance of technique either.
to put it another way there are many little chinese girls under 70K who are stronger than Mash. A significantly higher CJ, S, FS, possibly even Push press
+75K TANG Gonghong CJed 182 kg (over 400lbs). KASAEVA Zarema (69K) has a CJ of 157 kg which is close to Mash who is double her weight seems to clean. Mash can't even compete A class in the 62KG men's weight class.
I dont think his goal is to be a weightlifter......powerlifter or strongman maybe??
Either way, as a Olympic weightlifter myself, I dont care what anyone says.........this guy is a fuckin PIMP!!! How many guys do you see his age, that big with that speed........not many outside of the NFL and Olympic heavyweights.......that guy is a beast!!
pure weightlifting already does that, ask any top weightlifting pro in the world if they use chains or bands, theyll all say no because just weightlifting gp practice gets the job done for speed.
this is a very obvious statement you made...what makes Travis' training unique is that he's brining what made him a WPO champion (i.e. accomodating resistance, the conjugate method) over to his OL training.
Yea?
