The sooner the better. Give yourself a little rest. Looks like you need it.

I guess so. I'll just work on stretching a lot this week.

No there's not.



But lunch is far more important than programming, I agree.

You sir are actually right.



Lunch is the most important thing in life, besides breakfast.

I don't really like WC's log better than yours...but you've been slacking on:

1. Sharing your dietary adventures

2. Video of your O-lift attempts.

1. There hasn't been much going on. I've just been eating tons of pies(French silk, and some weird candy cane pie) and cookies(sugar,peanut butter, and once again some weird candy cane variation). I believe I did note my outrageous consumption of potatoes and ham yesterday. EDIT: I'll start logging my diet again. I'm planning on putting on weight.


2.) This will be changing soon. I'm starting a new program relatively soon and I expect some PR's.

BELPH!!!!!

do you still not have a Oly bar?

I just bought a crappy one recently. I'm buying a better one soon.


EDIT: Btw, Pendlay posted something in his forum. The only reason it's relevant is because that's how I've been snatching as of late.

We got an exercise from Zygmunt that I feel could benefit a lot of people. We call them "No hands no feet snatches". You perform a snatch, but with no hook grip and with the intention of not coming off the floor and not allowing any foot movement. Now, a bit of heel rise is ok, but the ball of the foot should not come up and the foot should not move.

The lack of a hook grip eliminates the use of any "jerkyness" and assures smooth acceleration during the pull, and the lack of foot movement and intent to keep the ball of the foot planted on the ground means you have to start pulling under IMMEDIATELY after extension, or even a bit before full extension. The result is a smooth pull and a FAST descent under the bar. This exercise has a very positive influence on the snatches of some athletes here, and I encourage everyone to try it. We now do it twice a week, once heavy, and once as a warmup for regular snatching.

Below are Jon North and Donny Shankle performing this exercise. Jon is doing 132 kilos, a new record for him, and you can see his right foot just barely slide, which is not supposed to happen. Donny is doing 110 kilos, you can see that his heals rise, but the ball of his foot remails firmly planted without coming up and without moving at all. His maximum in the exersize is 137 kilos.

I doubt it makes a difference. Just kind of something I'd note in here.

Yeah. The great thing about my situation now is, I'll have a bar specifically for squats & pressing.

That sucks. The weather just started getting cold here. If only you had to make this trip last week.

 

[toonie]

Which Pendlay program are you planning to follow? I know he has a few floating around. Will be nice to see some actual programming and planned progression in this log!!

I'm not too sure as of yet. I'll have it chosen by the new years.

With planned progression and proper programming I shall dominate you all !


Seriously, this is the first time I'm doing either of these things.

I agree, though we do get the occasional beautiful day. We had one two weeks ago. It was 60 degrees and sunny. I loved it, my garage was warm for once.

SOHP

notes
Cleans were different to say the least. I felt like I was jumping, rather than extending then dropping. I also received the bar differently. My hands were closed Ala klokov. Which is completely different. I've never caught the bar like that. Just strange.

Bad timing on the snatch today. I had some good power,though.

Presses were easy. Ain't nothing but a peanut.

Today was the last day on my non-structured winging program.
