All valid points. I think Bryan Mann’s points in his book on Velocity Based training highlight that it’s not necessarily about the specific lifts, it is about the intent/the goal and if how the lift is performed is actually truly working towards that goal (in terms of specificity)
I feel like the number one reason is mostly applicable to more advanced athletes. If, you're only cleaning 100lbs. The warm up isn't anything crazy and long as you're technically sound
You mentioned athletes being able to clean 180kg being sufficiently proficient. What weight are you assuming this athlete is? I’m 84kg body weight with a 130kg clean
Olympic lifts, regardless of proficiency, do not transfer to sports like wrestling, grappling or bjj, football, even sprinting, the way that good solid weight training with basic exercises does. I have seen this in my own efforts and many of those that I have trained over several decades.

i cannot believe you snatch 150 kg and clean and jerk 180,benefits

In that case, warming up IS the workout
100 percent
checking in 3 years later to see how you feel about this topic now...
Bro what happened with the weighted oblique video? Can you post it to your IG? I was looking forward to it
Yeah it’s on my IG. I don’t know why TH-cam took it down.
Since I started Olympic Lifts I am in the best shape of my life. Low reps and high sets..and once in awhile high rep P.R.'S
What is your opinion on Landmine University style training? Seems way more accesible technically wise.
I’ve never heard of that befkre
Do you think loaded jumps are dangerous for trainees over 40 or 50?
I don’t think so if it’s approximately dosed and loaded

I’m 84kg body weight with a 130kg clean
45-60 minutes is a long time tho no? I mean I do like 3 sets of cleans or snatch for like 25 min ish
Is snatch better than cleans?
Both good. Just used snatch as an example for the video.
