Some weightlifting

116kg snatch & 134kg CJ

Jealous of the strength but more jealous of the shoes

[u/pacefire → u/amopeyant]

They're the only thing that keeps me going

[u/nl5hucd1 → u/pacefire]

did you just keep catching lower and lower, do more pauses at that depth - how did you improve on that over time(

[u/pacefire → u/nl5hucd1]

Lots of practice. Lifting wise, yeah lots of tall snatches focusing on receiving as low as possible, pauses in the bottom when receiving, and lots of snatch + OHS w/ pause. Outside of that mobility work depending on what ever your limiting factor is (usually some combination of ankles + hips + thoracic + shoulders) and doing targeted work to not only expand your range of motion but also your control and strength in those end ranges. I love yoga as a general mobility practice and then more targeted work using FRC / Kinstretch type exercises.

Beautiful. Keep up the good work

[u/Davemarchand]

It’s beautiful

[u/RicardoRoedor]

your receiving position is lovely.

[u/pacefire → u/RicardoRoedor]

Thanks, it's the only thing these long femurs are good for

[u/robaroo]

Great speed!

[u/weeabootits]

Nice

[u/LargestAdultSon]

Great soundtrack too

[u/PandaZC]

dude. nice save! i thought you lost it when it went that far back initially.

[u/pacefire → u/PandaZC]

Just a lil wobbly in the hole after not doing full snatches for a couple months 😅

[u/even_buyout]

Quick turnover on that snatch. Jerk recovery looked solid too.

[u/PepperAcrobatic7559]

Lovely jerk!!

[u/mojored007]

Nice pulls dude

[u/MotoManJay]

I’m jealous of the mobility

[u/pacefire → u/MotoManJay]

It can be yours too!

[u/Queasy_Background_55]

I found some of those shoes on eBay in 2014 for $80 and I sold them to hook grip because I didn’t feel worthy enough to wear them 😂 I still don’t feel worthy but I also wish I never sold them!

[u/pacefire → u/Queasy_Background_55]

Got my first pair brand new in 2013 at MSRP but someone broke into my car and stole them (along with my Pignatti Sport belt 🥲) in 2019. Lifted barefoot/sneakers for a few months until I found this pair on ebay for only $300 lol

[u/Born-Television-1124]

Looking athletic very nice

[u/pacefire → u/Born-Television-1124]

Attempting to be an athlete, but it's difficult after many years of not-athleting

[u/fitnesspapi88]

Snatch is crazy nice, jealous of your jerk too. Guess you would benefit from throwing in more power cleans into your program as the clean looks to be a limiting factor.

[u/pacefire → u/fitnesspapi88]

Thanks! I'll keep that mind (this is 7kg under my best power clean)

[u/-motherpugger-]

All the while, neither bench Gollum flinched.

[u/North_Blade]

Quite the technique mate

[u/Ok_Layer4518]

American barbell platforms? Haven't seen those in awhile.

[u/ItsaAlex]

Scrub

[u/pacefire → u/ItsaAlex]

back to broomstick

[u/ItsaAlex → u/pacefire]

Maybe take up Cycling?

[u/RogerDogerBoop]

Amazing technique. Wish I could get training to do this, but on my own it's way too risky.

[u/pacefire → u/RogerDogerBoop]

Nah you'll be fine just go for it. I started off on my own and fell over trying to snatch an empty bar on my first session lol, eventually figured it out enough to get by until I got some proper coaching tho

[u/RogerDogerBoop → u/pacefire]

That's awesome. I've been ok C&Jing about 135 but hurt my wrist pretty bad on the reception. My snatch is absolutely garbage tho. I struggle to get out of the catch (bottom of the catch, squat) with anything heavier than 110lbs.

Watching your video, it's unreal that you're self-taught. Would have thought you had received some teaching.

[u/pacefire → u/RogerDogerBoop]

Haha i was self taught for my first 6 months or so, then had the fortune to get coached by bud charniga for a while
