Can someone explain to me why you should pause during a pendley row instead of making it a constant movement, which IMO would most resemble a rower.

here's some videos from the polish weightlifting team doing some training http://youtube.com/watch?v=CsIkD9IvcZc http://youtube.com/watch?v=Z5Vdt9B5vKo&feature=related http://youtube.com/watch?v=M9TQVhZX2O8&feature=related http://youtube.com/watch?v=uiiOrXN6hr0&feature=related...

I think each opinion matters to the specific training and goals of the lifter. If I'm a weightlifter or powerlifter, curls are not important to me, but if I'm a body builder then curls might be important to me. I agree that in order for iso movements to be affective for a bodybuilder, the lifter...

you can try using a hook grip also

hard gaining is a myth IMO. I'd say just eat red meat, lots of veggies and nuts, gallon of milk a day, squat and deadlift.

I forgot to mention box jumps 2-3 times a week or so also

Alright, how does this look: Monday: Snatch 8-10x2 Clean & Jerk 8-10x1 Front Squats 5x5 Pull-ups Abs I included warm-up sets for the snatch and C&J, so it's about 4-5 warm up sets to a final work set of 4-5, that's why I have 8-10 up there. Same for front squats, 4 warm up sets to a final work...

can anyone elaborate the main differences between using these? I mean I know some exercises, like for example, a one-arm snatch, dumbbells is just straight up but with a kettlebell you use a "punching" motion. I like kettlebells, but they are so damn expensive, and whatever lifts you can do with...

I read practical programming, and I thought I got this right the first time, but idk. Maybe for the monday workout I could either drop cleans and presses for the actual clean & jerk to drop the volume, or I can keep it the way it is and drop the reps to singles or even doubles. also switch...

alright, what if I replace back squats with overhead squats, and deadlift once a week? I was thinking something like this: MON: OH Squat-6sets/3reps Push Press- 6sets/3reps Power Cleans- 6 sets/3reps Snatch- 8sets/3reps WED: (low volume/lighter weights) Front Squat- 2sets/5reps BB Press-...

I was wondering if doing big lifts (squats and deadlifts for me) would be ok to do while I do many sets of olympics lifts for every monday, wednesday, and friday? I do about 6-7 sets of around 3 or less reps for the olympic lifts like snatches and stuff, I just wasn't sure if adding in squats...
