I'm working on it; my posture was aweful, but I've been working on specific posture correction warmups and streches for the past 6 months; I'm getting better :)

The weights are American, not metric; fir3bender;

thanks holmes! My posture sucks and I work on it every day. The weights are on the video, 185x5, 205x3 and 215x2

Brooo. if you correct your form you will move way more weight!

[bigislander72]

@fir3bender They are what I call the "American" color coding scheme. Reds=45 lbs and yellows = 25 lbs. The metric system has red = 25 kg = 55 lbs and yellow = 15 kg = 33 lbs. So you are correct, with a 20 kg bar with a red and a yellow = 100 kg = 220 lbs. But with the "American" color coding and 45 lb bar its only 185 lbs.

We have these at the gym I train at. I often fantasize that I am lifting more!

terrible form mate,

hi there, i'm no weight lifter contestant. but i want to lift heavier weights than 60kg.. however my body weight is just 46kg, age 24. i can't even raise the 50kg barbell up over my head, only on my waist level. what specific basic practice should i do?

is there a possible way to lift up the 100kg barbell?

@hermanator212  Stick your butt back to create a proper lumber spine. It is visible that you round your back as you go down. If you still find it hard try a foam roller and work on your thoraxic mobility. It hurts in the beginning but it helps a lot.

[AFROTHINKER]

 I am concerned with your lumbar posture when you do the drop cleans. YOU MUST MAINTAIN A LUMBAR SPINE IN PROPER FORM THROUGHOUT THE MOVEMENT!!!

[Clykuclu]

fix your posture. keep your straight and back tight. and start cleaning and droping. it makes you work harder, plus makes yout lift stronger.

[captainjosue]

Same with mikeyburger about the posture. The bar flys up on the pull very fast!!! Just keep the back straight throughout the lift to get more power transfer
