This shit is so fucking hard what the fuck.
>>76279544 (OP)The fuck is this, squat with an isometric ohp?
>>76279549When did /fit/ become so dyel?
>>76279553When you clicked on /fit/
SS standing shit position
>>76279544 (OP)Split it into different movements, learn to power cleans first, do high pulls, do lu raises while squatting
It's worth it once you get it right (t. hasnt gotten it right yet lmao but im nearly there with cleans and jerks)
>>76279544 (OP)Cut a length of 1" pvc pipe and pactice with that to build muscle memory
>>76279544 (OP)Practice with empty curl bar to start. I found back extensions helped too.
>>76279571OP is asking about BB overhead squats.
>>76279666If you cant clean it you cant overhead squat it and vice versa
>>76279544 (OP)Most awkward lift of all time. If there is too little weight on the bar, I can barely squat to parallel. Too much weight and it feels like my elbows are going to rotate and spin off my body
>>76279717I think this just means you rely on the weight to push your arms into the correct position, ie you don't have enough shoulder flexibility
I FUCKING LOVE SNATCHING
there's no cooler lift out there
>>76279947This isn't a snatch. Dumb fuck.
>>76279553I fucking love power snatching, weights and pussy
>>76280011Oh shit waddup snatch bro
>>76279544 (OP)It isn't, you're literally just a dyel, if you were good at squats and ohp this would be just mobility training which is its intended purpose.
post body.
>>76279544 (OP)The mobility required for overhead squats (and snatch) is harder than front squats and clean and jerk. Most people have to practice it for months just to properly do it with baby weights, even if they already lift heavy.
I do WL and ngl I hate doing heavy overhead squats
I have done 120kg and my wrists felt like they were going to explode, way more so than when I have jerked 160
I prefer to do them with 70-90 and just sit in the bottom position for 5-10 seconds, really let the weight loosen you up
>>76279549That's a piece of the squat jerk. Here's the full movement.

>>76279549it's a foot tracking wide stance leg raise, the bar doesn't move
>>76280011i like to clean her snatch while i jerk it
>>76280057this is the only way i can do OHP because i don't have a rack and at home and i have to start from the ground for every exercise
>>76279544 (OP)what is it that hard in that?
>t. I can't do that and am genuinly interested in the problems of others
>>76279544 (OP)it's all mobility and technique
>>76281298It requires great shoulder/thoracic mobility. You can start with broomstick and go from there. There are some additional exercices that can help like shoulder dislocations, windmills and all that shit.
Been learning how to do this a few months, but I only do it once or twice a week because it's so intense. I started with a 10kg bar and now do 15kg, aiming for the 20kg bar obviously. The hard part is the overhead mobility. It's basically all about lower trap strength which is need to externally rotate the scapula in an overhead position. It's a mystery why the lower traps take so long to strengthen though.
Progress is very slow, but it makes my shoulders feel great and I can feel my thoracic mobility improving
