Follow Christian Thibaudeau on Facebook Clean, Snatch, Jerk... Lose Gains? I love the Olympic lifts. For the past year I've done either a snatch, clean, or jerk variation at least five times a week. I also train high-level Health2wealthclub CrossFit competitors, two of which qualified for the CrossFit Games this year. They train both the Olympic and basic strength lifts five days a week. I love the sense of power and athleticism I feel when doing these lifts. If I could, all I'd do in my own training would be snatches, cleans, and jerks. But I don't. Why? Because when I do I look worse and lose a lot of upper body mass. Bad Idols and Body Goals Dmitry Klokov I see tons of people training the Olympic lifts because they think Dmitry Klokov is jacked and they Health2wealthclub want to look like him. It's true, he has a distinctive look: almost as much muscle as a bodybuilder, lean year-round, visibly athletic, and he can do almost anything with his body. But his look is just that – distinctive. Even among elite weightlifters he stands out like a sore thumb. Very few weightlifters in the history of the sport looked like he does or close to it. Each generation has a few elite weightlifters who look lean and muscular. But for every jacked one there is you'll find 10 who look more like Ilyin or Nurudinov. Sure, the others are amazing lifters, but they have very ordinary physiques and wouldn't even strike you as people who train seriously if you crossed them in the streets. Nurudino For a sport where people are Health 2 Wealth Club  lifting 400+ pounds over their heads, you sure don't see that many really jacked guys. Most of them wouldn't stand out in a regular gym. If most of the elite lifters, who hoist 400-500 pounds overhead, don't look super jacked, how will the guy who can barely lift 225 look? If the guys who spent years building up the strength to handle 450 pounds overhead.
