Goal: Jacked inner pecs and thunderous biceps

dang bro... ice that biznatch down even after workouts when it doesn't bother you for a bit (I need to follow my own advice ).

i got a question for you biggt, if i press out the last 2 inches of a power snatch is that a missed lift?

Also, correct me if I am wrong, when I am pulling the bar (past the hang and before the ducking under) there should be a good amount of ‘swinging’ with the back to toss the weight up and the arms are ropes that should stay fairly straight (but with a slight bend).

p.s. I should figure out the correct terminology.

Yeah, thats a miss if you press out a snatch at all.

For the 2nd part of your question, you're talking about the final pull.....you don't want to 'swing your back' to create momentum, what you want to do to generate momentum is to do a jump shrug, don't pull with the arms, but let them act as ropes by relaxing them and when the bar reaches about belly button height, pull yourself underneath it.

You must spread some Karma around before giving it to BiggT again.

thanks

Just eating, lol....

the shoulder is 100 times better, it doesn't bother me at all in day to day life, so I will most likely give it 1 more day just to be on the safe side so nothing nagging comes out of it.

I've determined that nagging injuries are pretty much part of the game and that they come with long-term lifting and heavy weights (actually they might acompany a typicaly sedentary life style too, but since I do not live one I cannot say for sure).

Just keep eating (which I'm sure you don't need to be reminded to LOL, your not JKurz) and things will be just fine.

Trained yesterday and today....no real plan, just wanted to lift.....yesterday just trying to test things out, I inclined and hit 225x26, which cements home that flat bench carries over to incline for me, but the reverse never was true, I just did some dumbell skulls and called it a day.

Today, Sun. 8/13/06

Power Clean....lots of warm-ups, 185x1, 225x1, 265x3x3, 285x1, 305x1, 315x1

Back Squat......225x5, 315x5, 385x5x5, 420x1, 475x1

Deadlift (conventional and hook-grip).....405x8, 455x8, 495x8, 495x8 (on the last 2 reps of the last set, my nose started to gush blood, I finished the set anyway) then I layed down on a bench and tried to compose myself, my left ear was also ringing for about 30 seconds too, lol.......after a couple minutes I got up, then went into the locker room to puke......all in all an awesome workout......oh yeah, the last several reps of the 495 sets, my back rounded, so next week I will drop down to a pair of pink dumbells and really work on 'form' and squeezing and feeling the weight, lol.

Now thats the log of a warrior!

Sets of 8 on deadlift? Going for the pump I see.

Isn't 315x1 your current PR on cleans?

 

[Cynical Simian]

Uh, damn...I was doing 8-rep deads on my last program but never had anything that interesting happen.

Also, assuming that you left a blood-spattered bar with 495 on it for someone else to unload/clean (lol, not that kind of clean) in the middle of the gym, you may want to check with PB about BRRTTS Administration eligibility.
