Just because there seems to be lots of confusion and misjudgement I figured I'd clear up some stuff as much as I can.
She is performing a snatch from blocks, which is a derivative exercise which takes away the need for a 1st pull from floor. It is a training method for increasing the strength of the overall lift.
She's probably lifting either 67.5Kg or 72.5Kg. (yellow plates are usually 15Kg, black plates are likely 5Kg each, biscuits at the end are 1.25. Bar is either 15Kg if it's a women's olympic bar, or 20Kg if she's using a mens olympic bar)
The man in the back is performing snatch presses with an empty bar in order to warm up and increase mobility (snatching without warming up/poor mobility will likely result in failed lifts) but there is still no good reason to have your top off in the gym.
Hope this was helpful to someone or mildly educational.
From a very bored strength and conditioning student.
If I was going full S&C coach I'd tell you to master Fundamental Movement Skills before anything else (involves bodyweight work, mobility, stability) but that's boring as hell for most people.
Issue with 'bulking' at home is that muscular gains require stimulation which is difficult to achieve without external loading (perticularly for the muscles worked in your heavy lifts - deadlift and squat). Calisthenics may give you some benefits (especially if you focus on the eccentric portion of a movement) for those no gym gains, just make sure you preform equal amounts of push and pull (or ideally more pull) for good body health.
Honestly though it all really depends on your goals and what you want to achieve. I can't recommend 'spit and sawdust' gyms enough for somewhere to get big and strong without as heavy a cost as standard public gyms.
TL;DR tricky question, depends on what's availabe to you.
Only part of that sounded like english to me, but I appreciate the advice! Time to do some research on what S&C, Fundamental Movement Skills, external loading, calisthenics, "push and pull," and "spit and sawdust" mean.
Apologies, here is a Glossary:
S&C stands for Strength and Conditioning - basically anyone can get a personal trainer qualification on like a 3 week course. S&C takes a lot longer and is a lot more in depth and is actually accredited. Imagine a chiropractor vs a physiotherapist. I do the practical stuff and study the science and research to back it up.
Fundamental movement skills is just to do with being able to put yourself in the right positions so that you wont injure yourself when you move on to weights, just make sure you research good form on all your exercises and you'll be fine.
External loading just means adding weight to a movement (body weight squat vs. a squat with a loaded/weighted bar)
Callisthenics is just the technical term for bodyweight training. Pushups, pullups etc.
Push and pull = pushing exercises and pulling exercises. Pushing exercises generally use chest and triceps, pulling exercises generally use back and biceps. Too much push can cause tension leading to poor posture.
"Spit and Sawdust" gyms are the type that strongmen use. All the equipment you need to get strong - bars and squat racks, and none of the expensive machines you don't need. Hence they tend to be cheaper than other gyms.
I personally like my top off in the gym because I hate a sweaty shirt sticking to me, just makes me feel nastier than being covered in sweat does normally dw I wipe down machines after
Warming up? Stretching? Just cause he's bored waiting for her to finish?
Only thing wrong with that is the fact he's bringing the bar behind his head (this is a very good way to injure yourself)
Not to mention that you're pretty dumb for not knowing what warming up is, but you also can't tell that it's not a Military Press, but a Behind the Neck Press.
i cant judge, im at 85 kg, working towards 100 kg, and after that ill only really squat to maintain proportions, my man ass is nice as it is.
>>#94,
1.5x bodyweight (like 2x bodyweight for deadlifts, bodyweight for bench) is for average men that lift weights for a decent amount of time, not the average human being. the average person that never lifted weights should be able to do a 45 kg squat within a few weeks. probably earlier if they played sports as a kid. most people, even young teens can do a barbell squat without training.
Average numbers for squats is 1.5x your bodyweight, 2x your bodyweight is normal for advanced lifters who don't use gear, so unless you weigh less than 40 kg, 60 kg squats is horrible.
It's bodyweight for your normal physique. So if you brought yourself down to 20% body fat, then do the calculations. Of course putting on 100kg of fat won't increase your squat by 50kg haha.
It's for average non-professional lifters according to pretty much every single lifting trainer, not numbers for random people pulled in from the streets who's never been in a gym before. Personally I don't know a single guy at the gym that can't squat at least 1.5x his bodyweight, anyone can reach that goal no matter how ****** their muscle genetics is. Most people will get stuck a little bit past 2x their bodyweight after many years of lifting, beyond that you need to be genetically gifted or use gear.
Some people are redonculous tho, I have a friend that weighs 75 kg and he started lifting with me, he started with just the bar and in 4 weeks he was at 130 kg, took me ******* ages to get there. I know he's not on gear too cause he's poor as can be, can't afford to buy coffee let alone gear.
He was probably warming up for the overhead pull, also there's such a thing as behind the head presses, I do them all the time with fairly heavy weights.
Starting your workout you have to get your joints and muscles felxible. So you stretch and use an empty bar to get everything started. reduces injuri rate
i'm a bit uncertain but i think either 92,5kg or 72,5 kgs barbell 20 kgs yellow weight 15 kgs, black weights are either 10 or 5 kgs (but i think they are 10) and it looks like she have 2 smaller weights on the side i suspect to be 1,25 kgs

We don't use it in the UK, it doesn't make sense simply because the number that is a decimal is follows a comma. Just hippy ****
My friend squats about 155 lbs, which isn't much less than this. Granted she's a hell of an athlete but it's not impossible. She's kinda little too: 5'4", 125 lbs. A really good squat weight is about 1.5x your weight (or at least it's a really good goal).
