Reddit reviews Complete Olympic Lifting Handbook

500 euros. that better be someone notable. or at least the national governing body course.

​

you will probably be alright so long as you don't try anything too stupid. small jumps. 2-3kg on Snatch and 3-5 on Clean sort of depending. having worked with some youths and beginners, i've made them jump 1 or 2 and that isn't exactly uncommon.

​

There used to be a sidebar with some resources but I don't see it anymore. I asked what happened to it and I'm waiting to hear back or maybe we'll sticky something.

Besides that, I usually just recommend Omar and Clarence's how to Snatch, and C&J videos on youtube besides how to jerk by Cal Strength. Or Torokthiy's stuff. Everything else is sort of incomplete IMO unless you want to go through CatalystAthletics video archive but without the book, it's sort of just there and doesn't say do this, then this, then that.


My buddy/coach told me he just watched the various Chinese guys on HG and ATG and youtube and well being Asian and kind of a snob, that's all he cared about.
