Had to clean the weight today due to being at the work gym rather than at home. Not sure how much that affects things, but 80kg isn't usually much of an issue.

It definitely makes it harder to create tightness for the SOHP when cleaning the weight rather the pressing out of the rack, at least in my experience.

I honestly thought you'd make that squat, but doing that after a deadlift PR will always be a weird one.
 
Not curry?

I have found cleaning it gives me an extra bit of pop. (not sure how else to explain it) I always clean my SOHP. It also forces my grip into my most efficient width and gives me a little yoke pump!.
 
Umbilical hernia playing up today, so just did 30 minutes on treadmill. Will book Dr's appointment tomorrow to get the ball rolling on having it dealt with.

Hope it's nothing bad, Milky. Have you had it checked before?

Thank you mate. Had it checked 5 or 6 months ago when I first noticed my belly button had popped out and had to be pushed back in (which is strangely satisfying) but the Dr said as there is no pain to leave it for the time being. Now it's starting to cause me some discomfort, so I want to get it dealt with before it becomes too bad and really affects my training.
