They still Look semi sloppy because I still got a lot to work on so bear with me lol.

Oh damn that’s funny as hell. I rest every 4th day

@@ChikinJake I tend to lift almost daily sometimes to work on form I feel like form better = frequency as in mma you learn more when you go more right? Idk maybe placebo

Yeah I get that. As long as your not pushing too heavy of weights every day then you could certainly go to work on form. Though I will say I used to also go every day and having an occasional rest day helps for you cns to recover and always made me more excited to get back in without burnout

@@ChikinJake yeah you’re very strong so I see why you don’t do daily lol imagining snatching and cleaning almost 2 plates daily lol would be a hassle

Seriously appreciate that support. I needed to hear that today

Appreciate that shit homie. Very awesome progress that consistency is what’s impressive

Thanks man, been dropping the hypertrophy training and going more down the road of strength training, and honestly.. it feels more rewarding and consistent. o7

I get it. Most of my training is volume based but when I get to finally throw some heavy shit it always so worth it

@ChikinJake What are you training for when you say volume? That goes into hypertrophy, no? Or is strength related. Cause you lifting heavy but high volume. Generally I was under the impression, strength = high weight, high rest, low volume? & hypertrophy = low-mid weight, mid rest, high volume? Maybe I'm wrong idk

So I do more progressive overload type training. Each block(one month) of training I start with a week focused more on hypertrophy and I slowly add weight while lowering the hypertrophy until the next block. I also put a link to my current program in the description of my vids if you wanna check it out

That’s the shit I needed to hear today appreciate that homie

@@ChikinJake I only ever hit 95kg on snatches. Keep it up big dog. Glad i could help 💪

Appreciate that shit. The lifts felt pretty bad but I’m glad I had some solid reps regardless

@@ChikinJake bro I’ve watched your vids for months and your “bad” days now are leagues above previous sessions from 6 months ago 😂. You move similar poundage’s at times but you can tell your confidence is higher going into it

Really needed that. It’s easy to tell other people that stuff but I gotta remember how impossible this shit was not too long ago. Love the support shit keeps the passion burning

This is the shit I love to here man I appreciate it. Very smart to start with one day of it a week until you get confident with it. Also if you’ve never tried it, you’re not going to need anything but the bar when you start cause you gotta prioritize technique and mobility before you start strength training to minimize injuries. Keep me updated on the progress. I love seeing how people experience this sport and if you want any references for programming, there’s a link to my current program in the description so you can see what might be fun to try out. Best of luck to you

@@ChikinJake you were definitely right 🤣... My wrists said no to getting the proper hold on the bar on cleans. Overhead squat was crazy uncomfortable. Might need to get some shoes with elevated heels to help

Absolutely man. The shoes make a world of difference. This is also just how everyone’s gotta start. It’ll take a while to get the proper mobility and strength in your joints to hold these lifts since it forces you into such a typically awkward position

That’s awesome man. Appreciate the update. There’s no better set than the ones you can’t remember cause you nearly black out halfway up. Always fun to go on nostalgia trips. I’ve been playing Pokémon since I was a toddler and I still have to go back to the original ds consoles sometimes.

Appreciate that shit man

I was doing clean pulls. It’s to isolate more strength and explosiveness in the initial part of the clean and jerk

@ChikinJake D'you reckon if I wanted to start learning snatches, I should start by improving deadlifts first? My lower back and sides are really my weak points. I did start doing BB shoulder presses and kettlebell presses as well, so pretty confident with the final part of a snatch. (I think that's what it's called)

A lot of oly lifting is trial and error for what works best with you. I always recommend that you prioritize your mobility and technique before trying to do any strength building but when it comes to accessories it’s all about maintaining your fatigue levels. Snatch/clean deadlifts can be great for you but you gotta make sure you do let the ego take over. If you’re doing them to improve your oly lifts then focus more on your form and maybe try out some slow tempo pause work to fully activate your core and low back. You wanna get as much core confidence as possible before you go heavy on the main oly lifts

@@ChikinJake Appreciate you lad, some serious info there. Gonna try some bits and see how it goes. I'll leave the ego lifting at the door where it belongs 🤣

Love the support. I got introduced to oly lifting 3 years ago after doing power lifting for a while. It was the first time I wasn’t good at lifting since Oly lifts are mostly technique and mobility so I got addicted to it immediately and have been going consistently ever since. It’s never too late to start. Definitely try it out if you want to do something new and challenging. As long as you keep the weight doable and prioritize your technique and physical health you’ll make great progress

New gym we at the crunch now

Thank you father

Big preesh homie

Preesh

Yessir

keep up the great videos

Yeah. I’m gonna start working in child therapy here and I’ll go for my masters after I finish undergrad

Appreciate that support

Don’t you worry. As long as I keep oly lifting my clothes will have holes in them

Always. Ran into a football player last trying to learn overhead squats so that was cool to see since they typically don’t train mobility

Georgia was the halfway point, ya boys in Alabama now

@@ChikinJake ROLL TIDE!!! ALABAMA SLAMMA! Good luck in the new adventure bro

Love that support I appreciate it homie

Love that support man. It goes a long way.

Well you’re always learning when it comes to oly lifts. No matter how good I get there will always be something work on and get better at. If you have a coach you can get really good in 6 months to a year but I’m self taught so I didn’t get consistent with good form and mobility until I trained for 2-3 years. Everyone’s different and there’s no perfect way of learning how to oly lift. Just keep doing it and try to increase by even just the smallest percentage every day and the progress will come sooner than you probably think.

@@ChikinJake oh I know the part of always learning but I know there’s a catch to learning proper form even if it isn’t perfect

Honestly there’s no special way or anything. I think it has to do more with your personal drive to do better than how you performed yesterday. Make sure you take in as much advice and experience from those around you that you look up to as possible and the internet has thousands of resources for new things you might be questioning. Everyone finds out their own way to some extent so just keep up the passion, discipline, and consistency and it’ll happen. Like I’ve spent six months on a problem with my split jerk but sometimes I can figure it out in one session.

(Also just felt like adding that you should definitely prioritize mobility and technique over strength building if you’re struggling with the form)

@@ChikinJake that’s what I usually do sometimes the heavier weight helps me dump under so I’m seeing if sometimes a heavier weight can cause me to realize what I’m doing wrong because if the load is too light I could just curl it up

Yeah I met him once a while ago and his coach more recently. He’s a very cool and impressive guy especially for his size

I appreciate that. I’m gonna slowly increase weight every week on my oly lifts and bench but I’ve gotta take it slow on the squats til my knee is at 100%. I don’t like playing with injury. Also I put my program in the description of the video cause I don’t like selling my personal program. It’s constantly changing to adapt to how my body changes and since I’ve done to trial and error according to my experiences I don’t want to sell a program that wouldn’t work the same for other people. I’d be down to sell personalized programs at some point though for anyone who might want it

@@ChikinJakeoh dang... Never saw the link till now. Thanks dawg.

Yessir hope the new perspective might lead to some good breakthroughs

Appreciate the support and your passion as well. Doesn’t matter if it takes weeks or months. Just keep putting in work your body will allow day by day and you’ll be looking back at the you from today grateful for the experience. Just go look back at a vid of you from 6 months to a year ago and you’ll see how much you can really grow in such a short amount of time. Good luck homie

Appreciate this support a lot. Means more than you know. Also appreciate you commenting regardless of you not being able to write English as well. The homie vibes have been received.

Unfortunately not but the progress is definitely getting more and more bootylicious every day

100% man that’s a some good ass positivity. Keep that shit up and 315 will be easy sooner than you know

I appreciate the question. I’ve always programmed myself but find that it’s good to utilize mostly your own experience in the gym while incorporating bits and pieces of advice you learn along the way. The majority of programming will always be trial and error so just make sure you don’t overdo the weight and you’ll make progress. If you want to see what my program looks like it’s in the description of the vid. Let me know if the link doesn’t work and I can dm it to you on insta

@@ChikinJake the link work fine thank you for the advice keep up the work 🦾🦾

Seriously appreciate that kind of support. The energy will remain pumped

Yeah it’s always good to have some time between large gaps of training when you give your body the rest it deserves for good recovery as well as relighting some passions. I appreciate that support as always

Much appreciated homie. I’ve actually never had any injury with my knees before let alone surgery. Last week when I hit 445lbs x4 on squat I developed a super minor pull or tear in my left knee tendon so I’ve just been working on the recovery. Thankfully I’ve learned from past experiences and stopped lifting heavy the moment I felt it and there’s been no pain, just soreness, and I can workout normally. It’s just gonna be a good couple weeks of deloading and focusing on isometric work to come back at 100%. The support means a metric ton as well

Well then, here's to a healthy and speedy recovery 🍻 Should be no issue since you're going into the recovery responsibly. Glad the comments help! 🔥💪

💪🫡

100%😂

Indubitably

Glad to hear the positivity. Also my insta is always in the description if you’re interested

Same here man the mix of split squats and sissy squats hit different

Nothing gets the serotonin pumping more

Big preesh homie

Yessir

That is the realest comment I’ve seen yet

RDLs are probably best for bulletproofing your low back and hamstrings strength wise but it’s also good to put some attention in your mobility when I comes to squat depth. I also recommend light weight on good mornings.
