I beleive she is busy thinking about me.
 
thats why i use the term lean. skinny is for anorexic weaklings and you're only half that lollerskates

also good to start low on OA clean until you get a feel for it

Yes I have an eating disorder. You want to make something of it.

The OA clean is fun, what is a decent weight to put up for someone like me. I would figure it would be more than half my barbell press since I can put more effort into the weight during the cleaning/pressing action
 
for beginner weight or upwards? probably 3/4 of your bodyweight. so about 140ish is a pretty good weight. you want to work up to the heaviest db in your gym (assuming it's a decently heavy weight). that way you can walk up to the rack, grab the biggest sum bitch there and watch all the pencil necks stare as you rep it out. i did that with a 120 pounder (which isnt very much but the heaviest they had)

beginner weight, half of your bodyweight is good
 
well the biggest they have is 100lb and thats half my bodywieght so thats what I'll shot for. But with my pathetic BB cleans and total lack of explosive strength or power it may be awhile. I think I can hit 60 right now based on the ease of 45. We'll see next time.

Thanks for the repeated gifts of ass
 
remember to clean the weight and not curl it. when teaching others the lift they always attempt to curl it at the top. you do bb cleans so i assume you know the principle. basically pull in a straight line up to about shoulder height then "turn" your elbow under and stuck it on your hip to catch the weight
 
got it.

I think I'm ok with the non-curling. prob play with it some more during my weekend lift session. I think of it as pulling the cord on a lawn mower but straight up

I tried to play with some of the suggestions in from the pubbers who were trying to help me out. The first one being I jumped up twice and pulled from that foot postion which was actually a hair wider, Seemed OK. The other making sure my shoulders were behind the bar instead of on top. This made a significant dif. Since I had just done cleans I found it easy to pull my shoulder back out of the clean postion since I could feel the dif.

I also played with a new set up thought process trying to make sure that I was tight and locked in and not jumping into a dif postion at the time of pull. Seemed OK. This was a change I made since it seemed I was starting in one postion and at the time of the pull bouncing out of it.

I also tried to "pull through my heels" which seemed to make postive changes as well. I didn't come forward as much so that is something I think I will hold on to. My glutes hurt today which I'm taking as a postive sign of work done. The 315 and 320 reps didn't seem to move me at forward at all.

I also wore pants for the first time. Not worring about my shins and knee getting messed up may have contirbuted as well.

The cleans and PC are going well and I feel like they are something I can continue. The one armed cleans I'm finding out are challenging espically when done after deads. Its a lift that you either get right or wrong with little middle ground. some of the weights would almost fly out of my hand on one rep and due to my incompidence feel a ton the next. My hands were squealling like an ass raped pig at that point though so I called it quites even though I wanted to move into the 70s. The 60DB is squarely in the middle of the 3rd rack of DBs out of 4 at the gym so I am happy with that.

The squats were deep and clean but I did feel a twinge or two duing them.
 
I was going to lift today, but time and my percieved recovery told me not to. I think I can maintain a schedule of lift 2 days off lift, regardless of when JJ is or how taxing it is. The lift day after JJ may be tough.

I am enjoying the Cleans/Press and Deads I am doing now but hope to get back to benching shortly. My diet is also failing to aid in recovery as I haven't been hitting my protein intake goals as often as I would like. I grilled 5lbs of chicken yesterday and have 3 lbs of steaks laid out for tommorrow. I find that if I pre-cook food I eat, otherwise I eat crap or not at all.

the form does take a bit to get used to. now for a study in positive reinforcement

She trainwrecked my mind too. something about her says I may want to be a nun but I want to find out about life first. Dirty and wonderfully pure at the same time.

All right! Good to read. You'll pull 405 before years' end.
