The bars at my school gym don't have knurling at the ends. There's no chalk allowed so moisture induced slippage is really difficult to deal with. | ||

I use this chalk for my deadlifts: http://www.amazon.com/Metolius-Eco-Ball/dp/B000212TGA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1303004766&sr=8-1 There's not too much mess, and you can probably sneak it in a bag or something | ||

I was told never to use them on cleans because if you fall backwards and don't release in time, you may break your wrists like Zach Krych and lose 2 years of progress. I use chalk and hook grip. Can't wait to get in the gym grrrr | ||

The pain from my hand is coming back when I hook grip so I just wear straps on snatch now. I need to get it checked out, I probably broke a bone and I trained on it. | ||

I decided to go with PP. The gym that I work out at doesn't allow Power Cleans due to the owner having poor management and layout, putting the only power rack and free weights we have next to a glass window. :/ Reading that post about me failing in progress (either by eshlow or decafchicken, not sure), I was motivated to do something about it. Since restarting PP, all of my lifts have been improving for the one month that I've been on it. I'm starting to see some progress! With the progress I found that I'm eating a lot more, now about 4-5 times a day not including shakes. I tried doing GOMAD for a few days, but my stomach couldn't handle it at all. Is there any techniques that'll help me out with that, or do I just have to suffer through it? Lastly, just looking for some feedback as to whether or not I'm doing okay for my size and weight. These were my numbers from the past week following the PP program listed in the first post. Definitely much better showing than the first workout I posted a couple of months ago. Thanks in advance! Ht/Wt: 5'6"/128lbs Squat: 3x5@185lbs Bench: 3x5@140lbs Deadlift: 1x5@185lbs Press: 3x5@85lbs Chinups: 3x15@BW Pullups: 2x15@BW, 1x12@BW | ||

Do you try to drink massive amounts all at once, or small amounts often? I drink 1/2 a gallon a day @ the office, it's really easy for me when I just have the carton of milk by my side for 5 hours. Take a few mouthfuls from time to time and it's done by the time I leave the office. | ||

Take a few mouthfuls from time to time and it's done by the time I leave the office. I did a quart when I woke up in the morning, another quart after lunch, another after dinner, and the last before bed. I could barely finish off the dinner one, and let alone the one before bed. Both of them had me going to the bathroom shortly thereafter. :/ I was thinking maybe I should try starting out with 1/2 gallon a day before going to a full gallon? I don't know. My body's never really been appreciative of milk, but ice cream, eggs, and yogurt are okay. | ||

I'm lactose intolerant myself. So I buy Lactaid and/or the 100% lactose free milk available at most supermarkets. If you suspect you might be lactose intolerant (become gassy, have to frequent the bathroom allllllllllllll the time after downing a quart), then definitely try it out. The other day, I downed a bottle of raw milk after lifting, and suffered 6 hours of gastrointestinal problems afterwards hahaha. ![[image loading]](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_R1hTFDonchU/TIkJa1lJqQI/AAAAAAAABGM/pi4wXiW6Z28/s400/lactaid-milk-coupon.gif) ![[image loading]](http://www.grocerycouponnetwork.com/images/food-products/Lucerne_Vitamins_A_D_Lowfat_Milk.jpg) edit: actually, lactase pills are probably cheaper! | ||

Also, I made some big steps at the gym today in my clean. As Dimsum and others told me, I wasn't extending my hip on the pull, which caused poor timing in my jump and overall crappy arm movement. Now I'm practicing dragging the bar up my thighs using my back and then jumping when the bar gets to the right position. It has seemingly improved my form in a lot of respects. Luckily I have a guy at my gym who can coach me on Sundays, and he seems to be pretty damn good at what he does. | ||
