Every once in a while, I'll come in, and this place is still here! How is everyone doing? Still training? Merry Christmas all. Some good bros off the top of my head I hope are still doing well: CCJ, scotsman, b fold, walkingbeast, mekannik, biggt, wakefib... SR

what's going on CCJ? where abouts are you in training now?

Dynamic mobility movements and LIGHT static stretching for select specific tight areas. This is most commonly around the hip: flexors (rec fem, psoas, etc), extensors/abductors (glute max/min/med, TFL)... for adductors I prefer avoiding classic groin stretches in favour for lateral leg swinging...

You guys should be weary of yourselves as well. I overheard myself being criticized at a gym to which I got a trial membership from for the holidays. Two douchebag 100k+ "bodybuilders" who did partial "squats" with 180k. Don't be that douchebag, since it seems most who post in threads like these...

You'd better go home then, don't want to ruin your leg modelling career. All kidding aside, if you are experiencing significant scraping, more than likely you are pulling with only your back or pulling too soon. Be more patient with the bar and use your legs to initiate. You can also put strips...

just don't go crazy on the assistance stuff. they do not cut into your recovery as much as the major exercises. i'd run your cycle first for a week or two and acclimatize to the volume, then add in a bunch of assistance exercises. use your good judgement

CCJ, what exactly is going on with training down there in the southern hemisphere? is this the first break you've had in a couple of years? how are things bro

yeah just do some recovery work, and keep hitting it hard. honestly you have to remember that the program is indeed a template and there is room for variation. just not the "hey guys, can i substitute curls for squats?" you could for example, load for a longer period of time and up weight...

if you use a mirror you loose out on using your proprioceptors - would a gymnast use a mirror? the arguement about it "helping your form" is utter bullshit.

you should do them all and strive to do them weighted. no swinging - a "kip" is not a pullup

I think Ben Turner is a 69k lifter! But cuts like a wrestler to get down there... man good find that 77k guy is a machine

hey - good progress. when you slow down the videos, it's extremely clear that you initiate the movement with your arms. keep them straight and use the power in your legs!

IMO, don't waste time with cleans from the hip, i was taught that this exercise was essentially useless because it does not carry over to full cleans. all hang cleans are done from below the knee, or knee level. bad habits can result. snatch from the hip however is a different story.

Re: other forums?? nice job on DLs. just remember to continue standing/pulling UP, don't finish and then pull back. these flaws usually lead to and give hints to hip mobility issues. you keep your shins from being bloody by pulling straight. if you use your back too soon the bar is being...
