Are you actually challenging me to a snatch off?

I think i am!!

ONe thing thats killing me, is my grip is waay too narrow, i started snatching day one because its looks fúcking assome when you're doing standing MPs!! therefore my snatch grip and Press Grip are very similar, its basically ring finger on the rings, i'm gonna have to sort it!

WHy thank you Brian!!

My poor auld abs are going to give up the ghost on the squats soon so im gonna have to start training 'em again which sucks balls!

I think if your core is straining to stay upright its a good sign that you're lifting heavy enough. As for the snatch grip, how tall are you/how long are your arms? Just curious.

Not straining per se, i tend to fail squats an odd way, in that my core with little warning just caves which is fine in a power cage but i don't squat with safeties so it can be dodge!!

Um, 5"11 barely,

cardio,shoot me

Well that's pretty much what I meant, although I've only ever failed one or two squats while still injured so I don't know much about that. Do you do good mornings?

I was just curious to see if it had any bearing on your grip.

Coming for me? I'd say you're beyond me with that many sets of 4 at 110. Then having an extra rep at the end. That's impressive.

itsallaboutheL

my right tricep seems to be bearing the brunt of Smolov at the moment, its making me do all sorts of strange things to my form!!

Thanks Kev but i doubt it!! ask me to bench to a command and i'd probably bury myself, still its nice to get some progress after being stagnant for so long, i think spending the time bringing up by back and shoulders is really starting to pay off, im delighted!!

Don't worry, he's coming for me too. When it's time to spank him I'll take the left, you take the right

Thoughts on training!...

Smolov Jr. is the dogs cahones, bench is going sick at the moment its crazy!! My training partner was literally pissing himself yesterday coz the 115s were going up for fun!! i'll try and explain the current groove im hitting, anything below 110 feels like air!! the 115s were mad i felt in toal control of what was going on, it was like i could evenly disperse the weight wherever i wanted, when my triceps were getting sore i was just kinda like right pecs and shoulders kickin here please and they responded, its mad!!

I know its still not big weight but im really happy just to be progressing, hopefully i'll be able to keep adding weight with the squats without too much extra effort, its nice to be back em to em after so long.

I think all the shoulder work i was doing is really paying off aswell which is excellent!

If put on a bit of fat around the mid-section but i've made some nice gains with it so im okay with that, plus for once in my life my biceps seem to be growing!!

Funny thing i've noticed is that ATM my most fatigued bodypart with all the benching is my forearms which is a bit mad!!

Skipping is unpossible!!:)

Feck off, your 1rm is probably close to twice mine! That's big enough weight to be getting on with. Nice lifting.

Guess that makes sense since they're being worked statically for stabilization purposes??
