You're gonna be so jealous when I tell you what I ate yesterday. Can't remember what it was called, but it's chopped up bacon, wrapped in sausuge, wrapped in bacon then fried. It was heaven in my mouth.

In Scotland it's called, "A light snack".:icon_twis

 

[livingdeadmoose]

you're correct. i am jealous, that sounds great. off to google ! hopefully i can find something.


EDIT: first search using " bacon, wrapped in sausuge, wrapped in bacon then fried" i did find something. did it look like this ?

Kind of but roll that up into a perfect ball a litte smaller then a baseball.

Haggis fried in batter; food of the Gods.:icon_chee

As for a side dish to go with the Sherdog Rolls, I'd go with scrambled eggs.

i prefer sunny side. although scrambled is just as good.


side note: this weekend i am buying a pumpkin pie and two cans of whip cream. you can pretty much see what will be the highlight of my week.


ps: Old man winters coming up. time to increase the volume and intensity lifting wise.

Triple A++++ for doing Cleans to Search and Destroy, as it might be my fave song ever.

I saw in another thread that you might want to do the full movement. My advice would be to go for it. I power cleaned (at first with very shitty, then with only somewhat shitty, technique) for a few years and would hit a wall around 270.

It was a "technique ceiling" more than a power/strength one. I would heave and muscle the weight UP to the power receiving position, rather than moving DOWN and under to receive it in the full clean. I think a big part of this was psychological - I just didn't have the confidence (in strength or technique) to accept the bar at speed in the bottom position - even though I knew I could front squat more than I was attempting to clean.

So I re-started from a much lighter weight, always riding down into the full clean on every rep. And I have to say that that (along with switching back to High Bar squats) has really improved everything about my clean. Weight has gone back on the bar consistently and easily and I hope to cruise past my power clean sticking point very soon/end of year.

Long story short (too late) - If you want to do the full move go for it - done correctly it should allow you to lift more weight and I get the impression that's what you are into doing. The sooner you learn it, the less habits you'll have to try and break later.

But I think your PC looks solid. You might want to start with your hips a bit lower and press out with your legs more on the first part of the movement - but that may more of a full clean cue and not as useful for the PC -so take that with a grain of salt.

No,you're right about the hip thing. i can get a tiny bit lower.



you're also right about the full clean too. the more weight i can get into the rack position the more i can front squat, push press and strict press. it's probably better for me to start doing the full clean.

True. You did get all the genes. You are handsome, strong, witty, and can press behind your neck.

'kay.

Your hips start a little lower than in your power snatch, but not much. Work on this. Also, during the 2nd phase of your pull, your hips rise early again, just like your power snatch:

On a positive note, your back is not as round as it was during your power snatch. You may wish to try arching more, though. Do not overdo this, flat is acceptable.

4th phase: Your elbows bend prematurely, you have allowed your weight to shift forward onto your toes early (a side effect of your hips rising early), both of which result in the bar being further away from your body, when it should be approximately 4 cm away during the 4th phase:

This has the end result of the bar arcing out more during the 5th phase:

But your extension is solid.

The arcing of the bar is then followed by poor turnover. You do not whip your elbows around fast enough when racking the bar. Relax your hands hand this may improve in seconds. Also, your feet spread out, which is just wrong. Bend your knees more. Instead, you wind up with the bar high and your feet too wide:

By the time the bar is in this position, your elbows should be much higher.

thanks man, i am going to lower the weight and practice.

 

[belph]

worked on power clean form. 50 reps. just the bare bar.

i also started practicing the full clean. 50 reps as well. 50 lbs on each side so 95 lbs total. in two hours i am going out to practice again.i will edit this later.

 

[Eric Brown]

Good. That is the way to develop technique.

notes.
i had a bad nights sleep last night.
i was hungry through out the workout.
these are not excuses. however, i thought i should explain my lack of focus and poor performance.
my hands were sweaty on the snatch grip deads. i couldn't hold the bar for extended periods.

Form work later tonight.
