  • How do you resolve wrist pain. when i load the weights my wrist will hurt

  • @MadManATA Loosen off your wrists before training, do some wrist stretching. Keep training and the pain will go away.

  • This may be a dumb question.. But can you front squat more or clean more?

  • @DavidsHeir you would be in the 85kg class the world records for this category is 187 kg snatch, 218 kg clean and jerk. Good luck making it to the Olympics

  • See, I'm a powerlifter at my high school and I'm interested in participating in olympic training in college, I weigh 187 pounds but I understand that the Olympics goes by kg. What is a good average weight for the two lifts in my class?

  • @ahmednabil Now you've started talking about angles and stuff. I'm just a weightlifter...my brain hurts...me no like. :(

  • @weightliftingisgreat

    a trainer noticed it and told me to use a closer grip it helped immensly and i added 10 kilos that very day , so its really a perfect angle which may be the same for everyone but even if the angle was the same , the width on the bar would be different depending on the length of arms

    @weightliftingisgreat thoghts ?

  • @OrlyDudeGuy

    late but i'd like to discuss it , it depends not your size and arm length ofcourse, if im tall and ur short and weboth grip the bar with the exact same shoulder angle , my grip would be wider (bcause im tall right?)

    also i used to grip it really wide , so that i can get it higher on the second pull , makes sense right ? but i didnt realise that it made me lose alot of power and made the hook grip very hard and painful and also threw me forward for some reason

  • @amusingisthedawn I wouldn't do these lifts unless you really want to take time to learn them correctly. Squats and deadlifts are very slow and are so much less technically advanced than the explosive lifts. However, doing the explosive lifts develops your whole body in ways that doing slow lifts (bench, squats, deads) can't. It's so worth it to take the time to learn these lifts to earn the highest most athletic abilities offered by barbell training.

  • @capscave Thanks for that. I don't compete, so I don't really do the explosive lifts. I do squats and deadlifts to stay fit and prevent injury.
