From what I see in the gym, most people don't have the flexibility for behind the neck stuff. Other than more variety, I don't even see the point of a lot of behind the neck stuff unless you want to work on your overhead position.

YES! My coach introduced me to the sots press. I do these every single workout and it's helped immensely with shoulder mobility. After doing these, I have 0 discomfort in CGOHS after sufficient warmup up. I still come forward on my toes while pressing it up with just a little weight on the bar though. It's an insanely hard exercise though, only myself and 2 other people at my oly gym were able to do the mens bar.

It's coming along well, but like I said before, I miss behind a lot even with lightish weights. I seem to be over-rotate a little bit. I mostly need to get the feel for the squat jerks and get it to a high % of my split jerk (my power jerk is about even/slightly ahead of split), then I'll probably do most of them "Shi Zhiyong" style, and just try to power jerk everything and catch above parallel but be able to ride it down to a full squat if I need to. A lot of power jerkers like Dimas and Kahki had problems losing the bar if it ever rode them down past parallel.

I'm 5'11 with arms a little on the long side, so I don't know if this will work out, but I figure if I decide to switch back to splitting the extra shoulder mobility and overhead strength will help me with delivering the bar to the right spot behind the ears.

Not as much bacon.

The solution is always to add bacon.

Also, I wouldn't do a cut with a calorie count below 2000. It just feels wrong.

for most people, cutting at 2k would take forever though :/

on my cut I'm eating 1500-1600 on average on diet days.

Rosa is my height though, and 2700 calories per day is just about maintenance for me at 170 lbs/78kg. The two times in the last eight months I've felt bad about my stomach, I just spend a week at 2000-2200 calories a day, and drop five pounds.

Hmmm it's posts like these that make me think I really need to start keeping track of my caloric intake... I'm 170 but I'm pretty sure I'm not eating that much consistently.





Yeah man, I'd do the same if I could get outside now. Makes me sad sometimes to be inside the gym on nice days like this when I go.

Maybe...but they wouldn't go much down in strength at the time.

Tracking calories is ezpz. Get fitday, or if you own a smartphone, mtfitnesspal. Put in what you eat right when you eat it, and after a few weeks you'll we able to estimate on your own for bulking purposes.

Let me clarify that i'm 170 at ~6'4 or 6'5. It doesn't take the same amount of calories at different heights to keep the same weight.
