Anyway, I decided what to do. Today I'm going to start Madcow's, but instead of back squats, I'm going to work on front squats. After I finish my heavy lifts, I'm going to work on my coordination with olympic lifts and see how well I think I can fare without a coach. We'll see how it goes. | ||

Thanks. I want to take videos but the staff at my gym doesn't really appreciate that... I'll have to wait for a low-volume time when one of my friends is in the gym. Today I practiced some bar-only power snatches, and it felt pretty good. I've read up a lot on the snatch and C&J, and today's goal was to gauge where my grip should be on the snatch and work on my front squat power under the Madcow protocol. Based on what I've read, it seems that for my height and arm length I should hold the grip at the very outer edges. For clean and jerk I'm not sure, but I've always had a terrible clean that I hope to fix in upcoming months. I finally figured out how to front squat without doing the cross-arm thing today though, which was nice. | ||

Most of the gyms around here just have aerobics classes and equipment for your typical cardiobunny. People in the weight room generally don't know what they're doing, except for a select few who are usually professional athletes (my gym has a boxer, a fitness model, a ridiculously strong rugby player, etc.). Those guys know what's up with lifting form, weight room etiquette, and so on. Some other guys talk in loud obnoxious voices in the weight room, but the staff doesn't say a single fucking word about it, while squatting deep can get the gym's attention (I had a stern conversation with a staff member a while back about this because apparently squatting deep can lead to a loss of balance and safety hazard? lol). Even today when I was snatching with an empty bar, some guy was looking at me like I was crazy, then started doing deadlifts in the squat rack. After that he moved the barbell out of the squat rack and glared at me while doing so because the oly lifting area and squat rack are next to each other, and apparently he didn't feel safe with me snatching there. Fuck him anyway; my deadlift doubles his and therefore my opinion is twice as valid. /endrant Yeah, I guess my pre-workout warmup is watching everyone in the weight room. My heart rate doubles and I break a sweat with anger alone. | ||

Nice dead and press. Haven't you gained like crazy the last months or so? Also: did you add reps on the squat from last session? EDIT: It is called sumo stance. It allows you to pull greater weights if you have the proper leverages but still doesn't look nearly as good as the conventional pulling style. | ||
