You drank ice cream cake? Sounds delicious!

Do you have a job? Because you buy a lot of fast food.

It melted.

Odd jobs here and there. I mostly find money or people buy me food. I am an unbearable person when I am hungry. It's like the snickers commercial that's me. Except I am more vicious than sassy.

That sounds like my wet dream.

It would have been better if I added some pepperoni to the mix. That's my wet dream.


Tons of cleans today. I failed a lot as well. I have a form check video uploading. It will be posted soon. Two things I should note.

1.) I know I need a haircut.
2.) It was a bad day. I figure every flaw will be visible.

EDIT: feel free to destroy me.

Before I even watch the video I just want to say I've been looking forward to this.

I question whether this is good or bad.

Ooops late for a meeting thingy. I'll give some constructive hatred out later.
Just at a glance though I'd like to see your hips punch and retreat with more authority/aggression/speed and, this is largely opinion based, I'd like to see you less on your toes through the 2nd pull.

Not that I know shit, but I agree with Legio's hip-point. Also, you don't use the hook grip if I see right, it helped me tremendously with hand fatigue. Somehow your 2nd pull seems a tiny bit short and you might want to try to push your elbows up as soon as you received the bar and until you jerk the bar, or let it go down again.

noted on the hips. I can get more aggressive with that. I'll stomping my feet down immediately after they rise up.

I use a weird grip for cleans. It's not really a hook but it's somewhat the same. I'll try that with my elbows.

[belph]

I place my thumb in between 2 fingers. I feel it gives me more support than the hook grip.

You're also swinging the bar away from your body.

Probably from various issues in the beginning of the pull. Oddly enough I've never noticed that till you pointed it out, Thanks Moo.

Russian good mornings?

I read about them in arlec's log. I asked, apparently they're gm's done in a stance similar to the start of your O-lifts. You rise up pretty fast and if you want you you can go into triple extension.

Sorry for the run on sentences and typos. I am posting from a touch phone.

 

[Jester]

Gotcha, makes sense

So watched that video a few more times.

The biggest thing is speed after the knees. You hips need to violently punch the bar/extend and then immediately retreat as you finish the pull.

Your landing looks a bit "toey". Think "heels to heels". Drive through your heels and then shift with your heels. You want to shift aggressively and land mid to rear foot.

As your elbows finish coming around you need to let go of the bar. You still have a pretty solid grip on it in the racked position. Congrats on the shoulder dexterity but I wouldn't make a habit of this.

You're riding your "full" cleans down a bit. I'd recommend switching to powers and simply dropping the hips as low as need be to catch. If you develop this properly you can have yourself a very efficient full clean. Remember that any time you change levels in a full lift your hips dictate the level change. If you want to be lower as you meet the bar, drop the hips.
