How to ruin your knees

[deceiver]

what a fucking idiot

fun facts:

 - he has healthier knees than non-lifters
 - he has healthier knees than bodybuilders doing 180kg half-squats which RUIN your knees by creating structural imbalances
 - doing 100-140kg full back squats without belt will make you stronger, healthier and less prone to injury than average person. yes, doing twice that amount is not as safe anymore but it is

WHAT IT TAKES TO BE OLYMPIC LIFTER, YOU DUMB FUCKS.

it is an OLYMPIC SPORT.

i used to believe all that ^^


but after i quit olympic lifting and got detached from it all

and looked honestly at it all

i realized it's not coincidence all the old champions are train wrecks


alexeyev needs daily massage therapy his knees are shot to hell

back also shit


very common


the sport doesnt want you to know tho, dr tamas says weightlifting does a body good  


listen to these guys talk about injuries and ask yourself is this healthy

Everyday if I smile, it means my back is ok and so is my mood. It's not because I've done well in training. I'm just happy I'm OK after training. It hurts a lot, but what can I do, other than wear a belt or change the way I practice. It can't be cured. My back is what I depend on.

Half of my friends from work have knees shot to hell from riding a fucking bicycle to work.

Does it mean that riding a bicycle is so fucking dangerous now?

this is also a classic arguement the people in denial use. I know because I used to say this shit too. lol

but yes riding a bike and marathon running can also wear down the joints

pat mendes, the guy on the video hadn't posted new vid's for a while.

typical example of guy coming from nowhere, set new un-official record at 19 y.o and disapear.

From what I know every top olympic lifter like Zielinski, Dolega, Ilin can squat over 300kg after training session. I had opportunity to talk with a guy who trains olympic weightlifting in Poland, he claims IIRC Zielinski squats 340kg after snatches and cleans with perfect form, with belt.

They usually don't brag about it simply because they don't care. Pat Mendes is an internet star more than weightlifter, he never achieved anything anywhere.

Overall, USA is nothing in olympic weightlifting compared to Russia, Bulgaria or even Poland, Kazachstan.

BTW their training is fucking brutal. 6 days a week, 2 to 3 training sessions per day. Morning is like squat, snatch, clean, squat. Then snatch, clean&jerk, front squat. Then third, "light" session, working on weak points etc.

On top of that guys from lower weight categories of course diet down.




guy could compete in bodybuilding with BF like that.

[jon cole]

average oly lifter at my club during intense phase train 10 time a week

they squat two time a day on monday-wed-friday (6 set of 6 morning and 6 set of 6 afternoon with various percentage)

He posted this a few weeks ago -

That's 180kgs at 98kgs. They think he might try out for 2016 as a #94 or #105 lifter.

As to the whole squats thing, he's fine, they all drop like that. Olympic lifters do usually show higher rates of chronic hip and shoulder injury, but it's slight, and as SF1900 mentioned, it's more from years of heavy overuse than anything else.

You can't find anyone in high level physical sports that doesn't have a little wear and tear on them. Heck the average fat person walking around a department store is in a similar boat, just from everyday things.

my old coach said to achieve decent level of weightlifting you need to train 18 hours a week (9 sessions, mon-wed-fri two sessions, tues-thurs-sat one sessions, sunday rest)

not worth it

[anabolichalo]

02:10 this is a more typical execution

annaballiccholo seems to be the only person in this thread who actually understands how harmful dropping ballistically into that position with nearly 800lbs actually is.

those john broz lifters actually do that seven days a week, max weights every session. I can only imagine how many drugs they need to take to keep their systems normalized, since studies show that even 'regular' olympic overtraining destroys pretty much every hormonal output

Here's an actual paper of injuries in OL -

Also when you look at the Bulgarian Max every day, multiple types a day work outs, the things folks are missing are:

1) Those kids have multiple years building up to that frequency, plus the full restorative buffet.

2) Those programs aren't built around true 1 rep slam your head against the wall, have your wife slap you across the face, all while chugging a few halotestin tabs like Powerlifting maxes are. It's based off daily perceived maxes that are much mellower than true maxes. It's more of a "this feels heavy today, we'll stick with this" type max.

3) Also while the intensities are high, the volume is still modest by some bodybuilding standards. The total number of reps per day for any given exercise is still only low double digits.

4) Actually speak to the lifters that were in those programs, it may say xyz per day, but in practice it wasn't as rigorous. Guys could claim injuries and have an easy go of it, they could ask for more time on technique and shave off training time, they could even have smoking breaks.

It is a tough system, but actually look at the programming for a few months, it's different than what people think it is.

And when we ask you guys send videos how you do it, outcome look like this:

While doing it right means something like this:

rumor is that broz athletes are all on HGH and lots of it

not sure

cant they even test for HGH

not sure

however, go an talk to alexeyev ask him if heavy lifting does a body good
