I have zero desire to take up weightlifting, but I have the utmost respect for the athletes that do it. I've always admired the Olympic movements and the mobility and explosiveness it takes to achieve them.
I'm 38 and a few months into lifting. I too wish I started sooner and could do comps and stuff. But better to have found it at all. It's super niche. Grateful anyway 🙂
@gsp4prez Hey, I did find a gym that has a platform and olympic bars. It's small but it's still easy to access. I got a coach that's local, which is amazing. And I'm training almost every day. It's fun and I recommend you go do it! Watch videos and learn then get on a program. Worth it, in my opinion.
I do strongman but my overhead movements got a lot better when I started trying to feel the balls of my feet before going into the dip and drive. Also the que of pointing the knuckles down when cleaning actually works on axle cleans as well for keeping the bar close during the pull.
Loving your videos with Dylan. At 2:13 just another random gem that just resonates about patience and when to extend / intent vs. outcome; can't wait until this afternoon to try that.
Regarding patience, I'm not an expert, but for me deliberately going slow for as long as possible in the pull has helped a lot becoming more powerful. The way it feels is a lot like a proper dynamic start: you build up tension and the body just wants to go, but you're forcing all that tension to stay until contact. Since this already sounds like I'm describing something else: Basically, you're edging for a more powerful release.
What I like about lift companion is it is similar to a podcast in the way that both yall bounce ideas off each other. But it's edited so it's not dragging on too long and the bar is in your hands so it's a mix of lifting tutorial too
Loved the comment, at the beginning of the video, about the hips. I have been noticing lately, that I have shifted from shoulder focus, when feeling that I may lose it and fail the snatch, and am now doing exactly what you described. It's hard to put into words, but at times when I feel like I may miss, I think all my focus was trying to save the rep with the shoulders and elbows, locking out, etc. But what I am noticing now is that stuff is relatively solid, and the biggest thing lately that has been helping to save a snatch, when it feels like I am going to miss it, is to drop into that deepest position. I feel like it just naturally sets the bar in the correct place...that is what it feels like anyway.....totally feel like I am not explaining this very well. Lol. Oh well! It was cool that you talked about that, because now I know that is exactly what is helping me.
Kang squats warm ups for the win. Gonna try that cue for the snatch 'cuz gf is always pulling early. The cue a while back about split jerking (think about front squatting to recruit the posterior chain--all things power) totally improved my lift so looking forward to this one. Thank you guys! Another simple response to the keyboard warrior: DYELB. Petition for shirt with that on it BTW.
Excellent video. I am slowly getting back to weightlifting after almost 8 years of not doing it lol. I don't have the ceiling height for snatches but cleans will do me for the time being. Thank you.
Hey Zack, Love the video's and the content. Is there any way you can find a european partner for the clothing. Ordering from barbell apparel for me makes it way to expensive with shipping. Keep up the content you rock!
Casey rocket next big thing? I had no idea he could snatch 220 bro shit. Só strong, só agile. Definitely gonna get popped using oxycodon cuz he never made it as a wise man.
@@Shakenbake-in9ux Also missing the point. If you're unwilling to back your suggestions with any form of demonstrated success, you're not somebody worth listening to.
@@Eubeenhadd believe it or not, a lot of great coaches are not great athletes. A lot of them are actually fairly mediocre, or have shown mediocre results.
Did my man say ladies? With an "s"? Zack's channel growth is on a whole nother level now. 2 female subscribers >>> 199,998 male subscribers.
he a player by now
As one half of the female subs, yassss Zack!
As another lady sub, can confirm.

Totally agree, I just can't deny that that shit is crazy impressive and looks cool af
Why not take up weightlifting as part of training? It is most excellent.
I admire steroids too.
@@doc.squatch You got that right! Steroids are THE BEST.
The intro and outro music slaps
Love the fire exit covered with barbells.
Damn dude. I'm just happy I can do 100kg snatch at 47yrs old. Wish I had started sooner. I learned a lot from you.

@@ritalovesthebeatleshow did you find a good gym? Are they open to having literal beginners in it? Just want to learn. Looks so cool.

Man, this really is peak content. Your growth has been well earned Zack! Thanks for being so consistent
“Im assuming out of spite” got me
5 minutes in and the knowledge dispensed is already off the chart

'what's your total?' is just how I handle every online troll moving forward.

I also enjoy snatch edging to increasing technical efficiency. Used to rush everything. Now, its all about the slow and sexy before extension.
Zach is training to fight the CEO of charlatans
Who is the CEO of charlatans?

"Clean much better than 130."
This is why the Dozer is a master at dry comedy.
Man I want to do these excercises one day
Really like a lot of these tips, could you throw in some of the accessories you do too?
ZT gets all the love in the comments but Dylan is just as much part of the soul of LC
zach just put me onto some comedy gold fr

I LOVE HOW YOU TOUCH YOUR JUNK AND TALK ABOUT HOW YOU ARE JUST GONA DO SOME SNATCH
Yo talk about Dylan's pants! His pants are always on point.

losing your hat has to be one of the funniest ways to fail a lift. great stuff zack
Great cue, Dylan - thanks very much.
Sometimes I click on the video just to hear that epic intro music
Can you please tell Dylan to make more vids on his channel 😊😊😊
Best duo on youtube
Lol, tell Gabriel Sincraian to not slam his feet
Or Pyrros Dimas
New vibe of the intro and outro reminds me of Kung fury so much
zack should try snatching with an elephant bar so he can grip it even wider
New designs are sick dude
Hey Zack, Love the video's and the content. Is there any way you can find a european partner for the clothing. Ordering from barbell apparel for me makes it way to expensive with shipping. Keep up the content you rock!
New shirt idea? : "What's your total?"
i really wanna get the logo shirt, but shiping costs to europe are just too damn high… unfortunately
I'm just here waiting for lift companion merch
Those look like some comfy pants
zack loves the snatch
Why is the power jerk considered a type of "governor" compared to the split jerk?
Mountain Valley is good stuff.
I want the new tee but it's £30 UK shipping 😩
I hope elite 6 figure coach Blaha see this.
Another killer vid
When using weightlifting straps, do you guys use hook grip?
No
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
How long can you let the gym background music play before the bots flag your video for copyright?
Hello, ladies!
Lady* 😂
And gentlemen
When I miss heavy cleans sometime my ELBOW jams into my KNEE and I end up fucking up my wrist as a result. Some advice?
they pause catch also works fro squat cleans?
is the music not demonitized?]
I have entirely ditched Hiller and Buttery Bros for lift companion.
do the 2 ladies have a youtube channel as well?
Dylan commentary almost beating Seb from Weightlifting House…. quaint suburban area. Facts.
i wanna make 120 look like that
"Oh-kay"
Pants. What pants are you guys wearing?
lifting companion?
Companioning lift?
👍
i ❤ lift

Hear me out... Dylan looks like Eoin/Gurph's (from Sika) American cousin.
for the algo gainz
What's your total?
Fascinating theory. Max bench?
Anybody who doesn't answer these types of questions isn't worth talking to in any capacity.
They aren’t in a sport where benching is relevant
@@LucasDimoveo you're both correct and missed the point by miles.
@@Eubeenhadd yes. Clearly las ha has the best total so he is the best weightlifting coach in the world. He is also simultaneously uncoachable.
@@Shakenbake-in9ux Also missing the point.
