Yeah I have SS - in fact I have the figure of the step by step clean copied onto the wall :chomp:
Unfortunatley, I still have a lot of habits I need to break like the ones you mentioned. Like I said there's a lot of thinking involved - my other ones are to make sure I shrug explosively on...

Any thoughts on running WSB - since they rotate the ME squat every few weeks.
But the Texas Method should be interesting, if I recall the Monday workout is the stimulus, Wednesday is just a filler to keep your CNS primed and Friday is test day. I plan to try this soon as well.

I've been practicing cleans and think I'm getting better but I still need to be a lot faster and my form is inconsistent - I still have to...

As far...
Thanks SR. BTW cool training/comp vids. Yeah, other nick was too creepy :Chef:
I notice you oly lifters start with your hips super low - reason?
Anyway, not to turn this into a vid-fest but even my clean pull started lower and this only this summer...
