Eh, im lost - i was trying to get you draw MS paint depictions of exercises. A trend, if it kicks off, the forum will all the better for having

Power/Full = where your hips are in relation to your knees at the lowest part of the movement

A "power" clean (of any sort) is where your hips are higher than your knees at the lowest part of the movement (ie you never break parallel)

Anything else is "full". But in weightlifting circles, unless you qualify by saying "power" it's assumed to be a full clean. So a "clean" is a clean where you catch the bar with your hips elow the level of your knees.

Maybe a mod could stick it in the basics thread.

Clean: - bringing the bar from the floor to shoulder height in one continuous motion with a full squat.

Power clean: - bringing the bar from the floor to shoulder height in one continuous motion with a quarter squat.

I didn't find them bad to be honest just weird. Just do a burpee but obviously stop when your chest touches the bar. Then clean it up and jerk it above your head without taking the hands off the bar.

I don't care about the source, that's wrong.

"Power" is any time that parallel isn't broken after receiving the bar.

thats what i take those definitions to mean though.

Clean - break parallel

Power Clean - dont break parallel (1/4 squat)

Yeah, but you can go further than a 1/4 squat and still not break parallel.

Ruffalo confirmed as the Hulk Mark Ruffalo (Hulk), Samuel L Jackson (Nick Fury), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Chris Evans (Captain America), Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye) and Robert Downey Jr (Iron Man).

'The Avengers' is due for release in 2012.

Ruining many childhood memories.

I'm sick of a cardio focus so back to weights I guess.

Looking at a two day split.

Day 1:Chest and Legs
BB Bench press
Squats
DB Bench Drop set
Deadlifts
Chest flys
Lunge/Switch Press-up super set

Day 2:Shoulders and Back
Military Press
Bent over Rows
Shrugs (Barbell)
Lat Pull down/DB Shoulder press super set
Weighted reverse crunch (Roman chair)

My main concerns are having the big 3 on the same day, I just find I lift better with chest and shoulders on separate days. Would I be better with chest/back & leg/shoulder

Pullups needed here man.

I'd also make the shoulder superset something like DB upright row/DB shoulder press..doubles or singles doesnt matter

Spent a few hours suit shopping yesterday. I couldn't find a single pair of pants that fit me. Very frustrating.

I decided a while ago not to watch those Pixar movies till I have kids.
After all whats the point in having films that "the adults can enjoy too" if you go with adults....

How to Train Your Dragon 3D

That'll change your mind I'd say.

I just found a trigger point in my infraspinatus. (sp?)

It hurt and my elbow feels weird.

Sorry, I forgot to add that I start with pull-ups, just as many as I can do, hoping to increase the max number slowly.
I'll give that Super-set a shot
