"Most of you listening probably assume that the best of Yurik had been and gone...that he had wrung the water from the stone--but he hadn't. Greatness is, indeed, measured by the height of the peak, but legends are measured by the number of peaks--by the size of the mountain range." Take a bow, Seb. Always knew you were a poet, but you've outdone yourself here.

This. Zak was TRUELY amazing and his hair was very un-Soviet at the time :) I mean when we look at non-supers doing 240 CJs then we are in true rare territory and then find me non-supers snatching 200+. Hell, find me (many) supers doing 200+ in snatch. And he did WAY more than that!

That old mantra about front squatting for 3 = cleaning; it is wise. I've lifted for years without a rack, doing cleans into front squats. Builds great strength whilst remaining mobile and flexible. Yurik's 1 front squat = a clean; is beast mentality.

@user-jv7ue7ic9w Жыл бұрын
Согласен у каждого свои природные особенности поэтому техника зависит от этих особенностей подрыв у него особенный за счёт спины толчок с груди тоже особенный штанга вроде находится и впереди и вроде бы как нормально Хотя толкать надо за голову В общем природные способности имеют большое значение главное использовать свои сильные стороны
@user-dh1ue9sh9o Жыл бұрын
@@user-jv7ue7ic9w все именно так, личные природные данные формируют индивидуальный способ поднятия штанги при одной теории (механики). Надо учитывать, что кто-то имеет более сильные ноги, чем спину и наоборот. Поэтому соглашусь с вами у Юрия более кажется выражена спина особенно в рывке. Недавно смотрел А.Арямнова так он вовсе на старте немного как бы сваливается (в рывке) на носки гляньте как-нибудь, так делают как он единицы. Как он сам говорит, так фаза подведения в подрыв эффективнее, плюс важнее спина так как рычаг по более, чем на ногах.
@user-jv7ue7ic9w Жыл бұрын
@@user-dh1ue9sh9o Да согласен я обратил на это внимание он даже снимает спиной Варданян всё-таки снимает ногами в момент подрыва надо стоять на полной стопе а не на носках потому что Если стоишь на носках подрыв будет слабее всё-таки в технике есть какие-то низыблемые правила от которых нельзя отступать
@user-dh1ue9sh9o Жыл бұрын
@@user-jv7ue7ic9w спасибо за ответ. Пусть слабее , но во первых, это только кажется, во вторых противоречит теории рывка, но при этом он взял золото ОИ-2008 не учитывая ЧМ и ЧЕ. Нивелировать силой технику также не удастся, за все это мы с вами и любим ТА. Если легкая атлетика королева, то тяжелая-император. Вы лично тренируетесь со штангой?
