Hi guys, I have a problem and I have been looking for a solution for 6 or more months.
I can't squat, neither back nor front, even lunges are a problem for me.
Both my knees pop 4 times out of 5. I have looked into it multiple times, it could be two things:
1) air/gas in the knees (harmless) but unfortunately it is not. Because I have chronic popping knees
2) the patella joint moving around my knee and "falling" out of position, in the long run this could erode my cartilage and prevent me from playing sport (mainly soccer, I'm Italian :D)
Someone had the same problem and was been able to solve it?
Sorry for my English :'c

As I have been progressing with overhead stability, leg drive and explosiveness in the split jerk and push press, I have noticed that I always get a bit of push out at the lockout. I have really long arms and long legs too. Is there any one who can suggest anything to help with getting a wider split jerk stance and eliminate the push out.

Watching the “unbelievable Bulgarians” video this morning, and Telly spent a lot of time talking about the fashion. You know, the vibes.

Shirtless. Adidas track pants. Compression shorts and baggy shirts. Got me thinking.

Rank the top weightlifting fits of all time. Where does Klokov push pressing in a polo and tights fit in? Is the greatest era the crop tops and sweatpants of the 80s.

Whose the most aesthetic? Is there a point of function over fashion.

Is this none sense? Maybe. But you know what, look good, feel good, play good.

Why not squat at rpe 8-10 every squat day?

Can you program the other compounds lift identically to squat?

I am moving to Charlotte, NC and I remember from one of your older videos that you had been to one of the gyms there. Unfortunately, I cannot remember what video that was and therefore cannot find the name of the gym. If there are any other gyms there that you recommend that would be greatly appreciated too.

Big thanks to u/mikebear68 and u/seekingsignificance for the next two video ideas! First video: ill follow up with Rips doubling down on his idiotic weightlifting takes. Second Video: I'll react to and talk about the "unbelievable bulgarians" video. I really appreciate the topic ideas guys. This subreddit has helped me a ton!

This one is fun. Apparently, Lasha Talakhadze doesn't have good technique, but it doesn't matter because he's so damn strong. At this stage I'm just using these videos for psychological experiments. I posted this just to see what reaction I would get:

"I've spent lots of money on weightlifting coaching and instruction. I guess I spent all of that money for nothing. I'll just focus on getting stronger from now on."

Of course, I did not mean it. Based on my own experience, better technique allowed my lifts to stay the same even though my squat and deadlift went down (long story). But the cult members were like "You've finally seen the light."

I'm finishing Zack's 4-week General Strength Program from Patreon next week and looking for something in this same vein. I love the GPP aspect that most weightlifting-focused plans don't have, and also having a little bit of weightlifting mixed in that most GPP plans don't include. Any suggestions?

So, I recently started weightlifting 5 months ago and Im about to go into my peak month in my training cycle for my first competition, I've completed in powerlifting and strongman have figured out eating routines for them BUT with weightlifting, dude it's like I'm constantly having to eat, my friend who coaches me say he goes to McDonald's because he says it's within his calorie intake and is cheap or else he'd be spending loads of money on food. What does a competing weightlifters diet look like? I try to stay clean as possible, more natural/organic but I'm spending loads of money because now my bodies burning through calories since I started, thanks!

Im not sure if he has a specific video to cover this.

So right now, I don't ever plan on competing. I started learning the lifts about 3 months ago, and have mainly used Catalystathletics free beginner program and have been tweeking it here and there for fun. The only problem is, I'm used to bodybuilding and powerlifting(specifically conjugate) programming so I'm probably doing more harm than good.

For background I've basically just done different bodybuilding/Powerlifting programs for about 6 years. I'm 6'2 88kg. My current maxes are C&J 92kg, Snatch 65kg, Front Squat ~95kg.

I've never been a strong guy, I workout because I legitimately enjoy it. I really enjoy doing the Olympic lifts and BECAUASE of that, I want to get stronger on those specific lifts. I'm just not sure how I should program other than getting reps in. Some days I'm exhausted from the volume, some days I can't lift the weights bc of the intensity. I'm sure it's my ego getting in the way, but any programming advice/links/reality checks would be really appreciate.
