Hey Ivan, loving to see you do OH squats ! 1:12 if I may, you need to keep the bar right over your forearm. Holding the bar far back with a bent wrist may be advantageous is terms of overall balance, but it will lead to a lot of stress on the wrists, especially with the weights going up. Would love to see you learn the full snatch one day ! Keep up the good work !
Hey man. Yeh I’m so bad at it. Many things are wrong. The bent wrists helps me with balance. It brings the weight closer to midline. My shoulders are limited as well so the wrist back helps with that.
I've done olympic weightlifting and I've been taught to hold the bar back with bent wrists. Never got hurt, and when you look at the elite level they all lift like that. On a bench press, sure, try to stack your wrists. On a snatch or jerk? No.
OHS is king. 💪 May I suggest you grip over the bar for the rows and slow down the eccentric. It's gonna feel awful, but so good at the same time. Added bonus: don't need to use as much weight for the gains.
Just reminded me of an excercise we did for my rowing club, plate holds! We'd walk around our parking lot with weightlifting plates over head making sure we had full elbow extension and it was brutal lmao. And cheers Ivan on the fitness journey 💪🏽😤
As a fellow lifter squatting 220kgs I asked myself 10 years later what has this all been for? I’ve now transitioned to weightlifting and translated all these movements into snatch & clean & jerk. If you have the power of a clean (deadlift) you can easily do weightlifting, the difference is in your mobility and technique not how strong you actually are. Once you realize this it really begins to make sense, the art form of lifting. 😎👍
I like to do upright row but with the wide grip I find that hits the shoulder well including the rear delt and traps...you can be real strict with it....then I was flicking through youtube this week and see Ky Green traing with Mike Ohearn...and to my surprise they were doing this along with a bent over row variation...where they bend over more and have hands wide and pull to the chest...try them Ivan they light up your rear delt and traps
The only trouble with that is that my shoulders start to feel funky during the upright rows like that. My only option is to keep the weight super super low but then I have to do really high reps and it’s really hard to progress that.
I think on your overhead squat, try turning your elbows so the back of them are behind you, and your biceps in front of you. The internally rotated snatch position. This will shift even more focus on the upper back compared to the triceps and side delts, but for your proportions makes life easier by getting the bar more behind you kind of like \ rather than a straight line like it is now |. If you need another cue, try thinking of "twisting the bar apart." But yeah, I like snatch/OH squat, it's kinda a staple movement even if I can't move much, just because of what you talked about, postural improvement is important for my sport.
Yeah there was a guy called not stronk enough who would do some kind of back/leg movement everyday and a pushing movement every other day. Granted he was rotating through movements, but I think he was doing a daily minimum squat. He was overhead pressing over 235lbs, benching over 335lbs, 500lb squat and 675lb deadlift in like 1-2 years
You have to widen your stance to allow your back to stay more vertical in these overhead squats.. so why not adopt that stance for squats? That stance looks so much closer to what so many great olympic lifters use in their squats with open hips etc. or at least somewhere in between? as soon as you did a normal squat your stance was narrow and your back was leaning over again. Maybe it could be worth a try for a couple of sessions, just to see how it feels
When you say weightlifting people in the Olympic weightlifting camp understand. But many people don’t. Weigh lifting encompasses all forms of gym culture. But when you say Olympic lifting then it becomes more clear. At least in my opinion.
@@IvanDjuric300 I know that you know the difference. Most of simply repeat wrong words because we've heard them wrong. Perhaps use "the sport of weightlifting". Lifting weights is not necessarily weightlifting. And not all weightlifters are in the olympics. It cheapens the sport, and lets people who do bicep curls think they are doing the same thing.
Overhead squats are back on the menu boys. Yeahhhhhhh budddddyyyyyy! Love this movement.
Yeh it’s epic man.
Great to see the overheads in the mix mayne! 🏋️♂️
90 degrees of death.
I’m going to use that. It’s a great analogy.
Look forward to watching your video everyday.
love the feeling of overhead squats 😊
that's so impressive, wowza, fantastic inspo, huge thanks man - I'm gonna try overhead box squats asap (easier), haven't done this for ~5yrs! 🙂
As always, solid content, thoroughly enjoyed! Peace out.
Thanks my man

A bit of bend in the wrists is okay, especially if it doesn’t give any wrist pain
@@mcculloughmethod6912 I totally agree, a bit of bend is okay, but Ivan's wrists in the video are fully extended.
@@Anthony-pln I'll just refer you to this good video ua-cam.com/video/tB38Y0jMCjs/v-deo.html&ab_channel=CatalystAthletics
OH squats have to be one of the top tier exercises out there. It really works the whole body

IVAN'S feeling POPPY!!! Watch out. He's POPPY guy's!!🎉🎉
Just maxed out my overhead squat yesterday, back and traps are sore as hell today, I love it

Cheers man.
That sounds really tough. The burn would be intense.
I'd be curious to see how you back squat with your overhead squat stance.

I guess it just depends on what the goal is. Weightlifting is awesome. Powerlifting is good too.
OH press move is perfect for stretching, warming up. PVC pipe only does it

Is this the start of the olympic lifting arc? A man can dream
Do close grip / clean grip overhead squats, that's a whole new definition.
algo ivan
nice lower back extension
This will absolutely carry over to the front and back squat. Great work Ivan

@@KwisBwown ayyyy mah mayne kwis! 🦍 🦍 🦍
Ivan how comes you stopped Olympic lifting in the first place?
Because of bench press.
Between bench press and oly lifting, my elbows were killing me.
I decided to drop oly lifting and focus on elbow rehab.
Comment everyday 84. Lu Xiaoivan🏋️
6:44 What was said here?
He asked if anyone is using the squat rack next to me. Previous person left without re racking the weights.
Snatch arc back soon TM

Oh it’s because have zero strength in that stance.
With overhead squats it’s ok coz the weight is so low.
@@IvanDjuric300 yeah that’s fair.
Rowing 100kg like that is just insane, i rowed 40kg yesterday and my form crumbled so i went down to 30kg lol.
That’s ok man. Keep building. It’ll come over time.
C'mon, not oly lifting. The sport is weightlifting.
