^ What about the snatch and power snatch ? I've never had any problem there.

Sometime this happens. Be thankful.

I am. I'll add it to my "Thankful for" list. That way I get to say snatch in front of the family on thanksgiving.

i wonder if arlechino and legiotitan will ever disagree?

That's a million dollar question.

Just as soon as he fucks up.

That will be awhile.

Good call.

 

[belph]

Good call.

Thanks. I figured.

BTW, What's your rule on failed lifts ? I know pendlay says when you fail three just stop. That's the rule I've always followed.

 

[belph]

Hang full clean/power jerk.(mid thigh. )
186 lbs x3/x1.

Just the work set today. I'm on my phone so I didn't bother posting everything. I had some small rack problems. I was just being lazy.

 

[belph]

I don't have shit planned today so I winged it this morning. I did some SGRDL(snatch grip RDL.) I prefer these over regular RDL's.

Odd. Fatigue your lower back before cleans and snatches? You are going to take a beating this afternoon.

I'm good. I didn't push it, I think I could have pulled another 40 lbs out of my ass. Plus if anything today is purely form work.


I cleaned and snatched. I fucking sucked today. This is one of those days where I should be flogged with a telephone cord. I couldn't get in the hole. I couldn't stop leaning forward.My left foot kept going out wider while my right stayed in the same place.

Likely because of your RDL's this morning.

 

[Eric Brown]

Gee? Surprised?





Belph, this is one of those days that is a valuable learning experience. In this case, the entire lesson can be summarized as "Don't do this shit again."

Probably. I felt fantastic though. I came in feeling great and it just went to shit.

EDIT: Probably should be totally.

Lesson learned.

 

[Eric Brown]

Don't worry, soon you will do other stupid shit. And, of course, we will be here to point it out. That is what more experienced athletes are for:

To fuck with you so you do not forget.

It's good having more experienced members on the board. Especially considering I am of the idiot breed.



BTW

What are the benefits of the O-lifts done from a deficit ? I know it's not anything I need to worry about but it interests me to an extent. I am assuming it's used to generate more power through a longer range of motion thus making the standard easier. I am probably way off though.

 

[Eric Brown]

Helps reinforce proper position, specifically in the first pull. Will make the start of the pull easier and can be used if you are weak off of the ground, but this is pretty rare. Can also be used just to increase the relative intensity of a work set.

Seem to recall reading that Alexeev would sometimes do snatch pulls off of a five inch block.

That sounds incredibly difficult. Though, The dude did press 500 lbs.





Some leg drive but damn it I can't do that.

 

[CRZA]

Russian techno music = superhuman strenght? I think so.

Nah, it's just techno that does it.




EDIT: I went out and C&J'd. From the hang. Triples and doubles were used. I lowered each jerk slowly.
