I did a ton of 1's today on hang clean and worked up 10lbs at a time from 135 and actually got 225. My problem on that damn lift is letting my legs bend to catch the weight. My pull is great but my feet tend to go out to dip instead of bending at the knees. It is just something I will need to...

Yeah I see what you are saying. Close grip should help the bench out a good bit.

Man you are pretty damn bad. I want to be as hardcore as you this fall! Hang cleans for me today. Maybe Ill do some crazy stuff and do some 3's and some 1's. You really are a good example!

Well I set a new PR in deadlift today 425x5. I also did a lot of push pressing in the front. I think that when I start my routine I might reset squats and deads two weeks for almost a deload type experiment. Maybe I won't.

It would be tough to squat heavy and deadlift heavy in the same day, but that's just my opinion.

Finally some more videos! Everything looked fine except your squat on those last few reps. Keep that back in-line with the bar and your golden.

Man thanks guys for all the comments. I am really excited about the changes I am going to be making. I think I am going to take T's advices and change my heavy day's repping scheme. Along with the fact that I will be adding hang cleans permanently along with jerks, I think I could get into the...

Well the 4th rep at 290 is as slow as it gets so I haven't actually failed on a 5th rep because I haven't attempted one yet. If I had to speculate I would say midpoint.

My bench numbers are stalling right now. I am stuck at 290x4. I am about to revamp my lifting routine and I am wondering how I should go about moving my bench. Should I re-set my bench numbers or switch to the advanced scheme for my bench only? My deadlift and squat still seem to progressing but...

Yep, thats part of what I did today on a "Concept 2". I did 2000m on the highest resistance and turned in a time of 7:41.2 minutes! TOUGH

Monday 8-14-06 Bench 290x4: Ties a PR set on the previous Friday. Bench is slowly creeping along but I'll keep eating and taking my 5 lbs when I can. Squat 300x5: Pretty easy and it is a new PR Hang Cleans: 185x5 was my heaviest set. I enjoy doing these much more than doing rows. Today I...

I see shit like that ALL the time in my gym. I just accept it.

Get those vids! I can't be the only regular vid guy around! Have you even attempted a 1 on deads? Any plans to if you haven't?

Yeah man, I appreciate it. Going to try and pull 430x5 this week and push 290x5 on bench while doing 300x5 on squat. It is going to be a big week!

Plus people posting later on in that thread say I have bad form! YES!!!
