Eleiko Barbell authentication

Could anyone tell me if these are real or not? I’ve not seen a Eleiko bar with this stamp on. I’ve enhanced the second photo so it’s easier to see

Please Help(Pt 2 of 2)

This will be a 2 part post as i can only put 1 video per post.(This is clean and jerk)
Hello everybody! I’m a newer weightlifter as you will tell by the videos attached, but i’m familiar with the sport and with what it SHOULD look like in terms of form. With this said, this is what i need help with:

-Ankle mobility/Depth of catch (been trying to front squat with heel elevated but it made me tweak my back so that’s on the back burner at the moment.

-Overall pulling cues and technique errors you see(drills to improve them?)

-Any advice you see fit

165kg Clean

This is My Goal Clean and Jerk, which I can Definitely Do Fresh I struggled through a 157 Clean two weeks ago My progression in this session was 140-150-165 The 150 Moved the fastest it’s ever moved so I went for it
My leg strength is blowing up from the added squat volume. I’m going for 170 140 next saturday after a little reset this weekend and into the beginning of next week

Do you think I’m ready to add weight, or should I keep working on my snatch with the empty bar?

I’ve been working on my snatch technique and doing accessory exercises: overhead squats and snatch pulls for the past 5 weeks. However, I still don’t feel confident with my snatch yet. Should I start adding weight, or keep practicing with the empty bar?
What can I do to improve my technique?

Form Check - 88 kgs Snatch Complex

Hi! Curious about any feedback on this snatch DL + pull + snatch complex. I was trying to focus on starting off balanced in the first pull and driving through my full foot. I feel this is roughly where I for some reason stop pulling hard under the bar compared to prior sets. This is about 92% for reference. Thanks!

Snatch Feedback Desired

Was part of a weightlifting club for a year until pregnancy and birth. I’m 14 months postpartum and getting back into it …. Any feedback to help improve my snatch is useful. This is 25kg. Most I’ve done postpartum is 30kg. Personal best is 38kg.

Can I return to weightlifting after microfracture surgery for a talar cartilage injury?

Hey everyone,

Last year I fell from a height and sprained my left ankle, resulting in an avulsion fracture. Six months later, it still hasn't healed. Last month's MRI revealed an osteochondral lesion of the talus, and my doctor is recommending microfracture surgery. From what I've read, the fibrocartilage that grows back is far less durable than the original hyaline cartilage and wears out much faster. I am a weightlifting enthusiast, and I'm terrified I won't be able to return to the sport. Has anyone here had this surgery and managed to get back to powerlifting? Any experience would be hugely appreciated.

Sorry for the long post, and thank you for any replies.

Uneven snatch

Hi! I've been injured for about a year and I have seen a physical therapist and my injury is mostly gone. Slowly but surely getting back to weightlifting, but at decently heavy weight I notice I've got a big discrepancy between my left and right side. I do not want to go back to my physical therapist because of financial reasons (I'm a college student). Has anyone of you experienced the same? If so, what did you do to mitigate/resolve the issue?

u/diede3x0 — 1 day ago

Are there any cheap crash pad/floor protection options (ideally ≤$90)for Oly lifts? I'm not doing any hardcore drops and mostly working on cleans and clean variations, but still want something that will not completely fall apart or damage the floor. I also have around 1/2"Costco mega-mat flooring.
