      We COULD make a religion out of this. Still a better story than the North Korean pres riding a unicorn or something. Atleast our glorious leader snatched a 100kg.

    "You are nothing special"
    Honestly that is a great mindset in my opinion. There is no special cue or exercise to "unlock" your "potential". You just need to train your ass off in a smart way. Follow the basic principles and put in the work. I recently got the chance to ask Ruslan Nurudinov for some jerk tips and he told me the biggest thing for him is just maintaining a solid rack position. Back tight, chest open. No special secret cues, just the basic stuff.

    Speaking of the soviet technical model, what do you think about making a video on it, preferably in depth also I would imagine it would be fairly long, possibly a series of videos on it?
    I think it’d be very helpful for a lot of people, not to mention that you can just refer people to it when you get asked about it.

    A week or so ago you two released a video talking about how quickly youd have to be a good weightlifter starting in your late teens, but how about starting in early or mid teenage years? Is the variance in physical development among in this age group too great for a general standard to be useful?

    Current pb is 60kg in the snatch at age 18 and 80kg in the clean and jerk. Hoping to clean and jerk over 160kg+ and snatch 140kg-150kg before I turn 30.

      IIRC Gabriel Sincraian has a good video which talks about three styles of snatches.
      But if you are looking for examples of the soviet model just look at europe, especially former soviet countries.

      Thanks to @tiantoa2024 and @Sika Strength​ for replying. I'm still a bit confused since I'm quite new to weightlifting. I assumed that the "classic Soviet model" was a set of workouts and a periodization scheme? Is that true? If so, can I purchase it or download it? Right now I'm just throwing weights above my head and hoping for the best.
