We have been at it for two weeks now and we have spent most of theat time working on form. It is essential that we get our form right before we move up in weight. In order to get our form right we need to know what we are doing wrong, so that we can fix it.
For this weeks blog I want to know what lift has given you the most trouble and what in particular about that lift is the problem. Finally what are you doing to work on fixing the problem.
For example, I have recently been working on my olympic lifts of snatch and clean and jerk. The clean and jerk has been giving me problems, particularly the transition from the clean into the jerk. To fix this, I have been doing several reps with very light weight working only on the transition.
My squat has been giving me the most trouble. My from is pretty good but I need to gain flexibility in my hamstrings and glutes. If I do this I will be able to get deeper, easier.

My troubles are in shoulder press or push press. It is hard for me to have the proper form for shoulder press because my shoulders and arms aren't the strongest part of me and therefore it is harder. To fix this lift form error, I am traveling everywhere on crutches which is making my arms stronger.
ReplyDeleteMy dead lift has been giving me the most trouble. My form is decent but I occasionally get a bend in my lower back. To fix this I have been doing several reps with low weight to warm up and working on my core strength.

Push-press and shoulder press has given me the most trouble. I feel pain in my wrists and sometimes my back. I need to do work on my grip strength and make sure I keep my core tight the whole time to reduce pain

I have the most trouble with my front squats because usually my knees cave in making the squat completely wrong. I also have trouble keeping my back as tight as possible. I'd work on this by trying to keep my legs out and not over think it.

This technically isn't a lift, but I have been having trouble with pull ups. I just don't have the upper body strength to do them yet. I work on them by doing escentric jump pulls ups which helps me build up my upper body and work to get to regular ones.

My dead lift has been giving me alot of trouble because it hurts my back. I will do excerises on my back to reduce pain.

front sqauts and cleans. front sqauts hurt my wrists and i dont have good form when cleaning. for front sqauts i got to strech and strenghten my wirsts and for cleans light weight and concentration on form.
ReplyDeletefront sqauts and cleans was nabil
ReplyDeleteSquats are a problem for me. I think I have good form but I think my bar placement on my back is not right. Sometimes I feel like it is too high on my back. I will work on this by doing light sets just focusing on finding the right placement.

I have trouble with cleans sometimes, mostly with getting under the bar; I tend to wait until its too high, which keeps weights lower and keeps from properly developing the hip explosion. I need to practice getting under it at lower weights, first.
ReplyDeleteFor squats, I still have the butt-wink, which occurs when I get too low (if I'm not misunderstanding). I can fix this by performing hamstring stretches.
Keeping my weight on my heels in push press is a problem some times, which i can try to fix by just focusing on lighter weights while focusing on keeping my weight back.
Not actually a major problem, but its a question I've been having; sometimes, after doing a heavy arm lift, my left shoulder will pop when I rotate it, such as when stretching. I just want to make sure this isn't something I shouldn't be really worried about.

Squats have been giving me some trouble. My back often caves in when I am in the bottom of my squat. I am working on this by doing low weight and lots of core work.

my major is problem is squats. I don't have very flexible hips so its hard for me to get very deep into my squats. to do this I've been stretching my hamstrings and practicing squats as much as possible.
ReplyDeleteMax Langworthy
My front squats are a problem for me. I lack flexibility in me wrist which causes bad form for me. I need to work on light sets so my wrists can get comfortable
ReplyDeleteSteven Rubin
overhead squat are the worst for me. Just my form and flexibility are bad for that lift. I am practicing with a pvc pipe to get the technique down for it.

i posted this b4 but it didnt show up but i said
ReplyDeletesquats have been giving me trouble bcause of my bad knees which hurt after squatting and i am not getting low enough in my squat to fix this i need to stretch and do air squats on my own to increase flexibility
my biggest problem is deadlift. to work on being able to keep my back straight i will do more deadlifts with lower weight, work on my core, and do romanian deadlifts and good mornings
ReplyDelete-blatt
a problem that i have is dead lift i try to have a good form but thats what makes me lift less weight also when i push press my wrists are in major pain
ReplyDeleteHarris T.
front squats is my problem due to I can't hold the bar very well except by extending a single finger. I have been working on forearm flexibility and stretches in hopes of fixing the problem
ReplyDelete-Micah
The biggest lift that i have a problem with is dead lift because of my lower back.
ReplyDeleteeric song
i always have a problem with squats because my hamstrings always tighten up so much that it gets really hard to bend my legs
ReplyDeleteolin akisoglu
I have trouble power-cleaning because I don't get enough explosive power to get more weight higher
ReplyDeleteDaniel Nozick
The lift that is giving me the most trouble is my deadlift. The day after i workout, my lower back is usually sore. To fix this, I need to work on showing my chest more, and not bend my back.
