Squats where heavy, i was tired, i got em done, job done.

Press was piss
---
Press was nice aside from a lil blip on last set. after 2nd rep of last set, this guy in teh rack beside me came up and said to me "can i ask you a question?" i said "fire away". He then had the nerve to say "is it necessary to drop the weights after each rep like that?" in teh most snide voice ever. I replied nicely and ignore him, he then went back to doing db bicep curls on a bosu ball in the squat rack...

Holy sweet jesus my abbs are funked,I seriously almost vomited during russian twists. Kev is right, russian twists with dbs kick ass

You'd prob get a Push Jerk where you wouldn't get a push press

cardio,shoot me

i generally wouldn't when having a half serious conversation, plus thats just too obv,

You probably should give the Push Jerks ago, if you can squat and you can push press then you can push jerk!

i have a problem with resting the bar on my clavicles tho, i broke both my wrists a while ago which has led to poor flexibility.

i can't either, I have the tightest triceps on the planet, you can push jerk it from a push press position!

cardio,shoot me

well ill give it ago, Id love to throw 70kg above my head one way or the other soon

brianthebard

Then work on flexibility? sounds a bit mean but if you've lost it you should try to regain it. Even if you haven't broken a wrist that bar position can take some getting used to, so don't think you should be getting it automatically or not at all.

cardio,shoot me

i am really trying, whenever i think about it i try to stretch them and i clean the bar at the start of every shoulder press set. its just hard :P

you should be able to now i'd say with some practice,, i could throw 90 over my head a year ago and my shoulder strength wasn't half what it is now, half of it is psychological and the other half is practice

cardio,shoot me

yea technique is holding me back alot id say.

look i'm going to get eaten alive for saying this but...

fúck the technique unless you're going in to oly lifting, if you can get that over your head in a SAFE manner then do it!! you can't rack the weight on your clavicles.... so what... just do me a favor and try it!!

cardio,shoot me

I think you picked me up wrong :P, id have no problem attempting 70kg ,but i think if i failed it it would be due to my technique holding me back, aslong as my back isnt in a bad way i really dont care how i get the bar up :P, Sure in power cleans i hold the bar at the top nearly like a bicep curl

brianthebard

Have you tried pushing through your heels away from the ground? Pull thrus for assistance as well perhaps? Have you video'd the deads lately?

cardio,shoot me

i havent no, i will soon i hope, i think its more of a problem of trying to go too heavy but i dunno. Ill try lean back more and push my heels through.Oh i just noticed i forgot That i had hit another PB in the workout that i forgot to mention, i hit a 50kg atg front sqwat :P

Bad day, had to cut it really short.

Squat singles

tried twice more at depth, one failed straight away, one failed about a foot from the top, soo close :P

cardio,shoot me

got a pain in my back deadlifting, so leaving weights until i can get to a physio, gota 75kg bench single. Which means if i can hit a 125kg deadlift ill get a 300kg total, which is what i want
