EPTMaybe it's time to invest in a quality pan. Cast Iron skillets typically heat quite evenly, but there's a little bit of maintenance required for those guys. You can also make some killer steaks (I love steak).

Not really sure about eating however I know you'll need a LOT. Wasn't the typical runner competition diet to consume a ton of carbs for energy? Don't know how popular that is anymore. Probably just eat protein to repair the muscle and as you get closer to race day start eating more carbs for the increased energy. | ||

That's right. ski guy. Shit that's awesome btw. tbh though don't take my word on performance eating. I just stated what I've read many endurance athletes do in the past. I have no idea if it's optimal or still en vogue. And I've never really had to do it myself. (I did in high school but that was ages ago). I have no idea if eating a ton of carbs is somehow outdated. But I am sure that you have to eat a ton of SOMETHING. :D I just found out that my barbell has a slight bend in it  | ||

Met some dude today at my gym. He's a trainer there and is the only person I see doing olympic lifts at my gym. Asked him what his background was and he told me he's a crossfit guy with a certification in olympic lifts. Just wondering how credible that certification is? My plan is to do SS for six months and then switch almost completely to olympic lifting. I have 0 experience in it and I'd have no clue how to adapt it to cage fighting (not doing boxing anymore lol) so I plan on joining this kick ass oly gym in toronto afterwards. But maybe this dude can help me and I can practice perfecting my form with a bar for the next 5 months. Of course there's a danger of habitualizing shit form.

Are you guys deadlifting with a hook grip? 67,5 kg (148,5 pounds) Not sure what u mean with hook grip, but I grab it between my fingers and my hands (over and under grip obv). I used to pick it at my palm before (6 months ago), but I picked this habit from snatching kettlebells (same place u receive the bell in downward movement). I feel my grip a lot more safe now. | ||

I used to pick it at my palm before (6 months ago), but I picked this habit from snatching kettlebells (same place u receive the bell in downward movement). I feel my grip a lot more safe now. Guy recommended me while I was doing powercleans to use the hook grip and catch the weight with 2-3 fingers. The hook grip is when you put your middle finger over your thumbnail and lock that into place. I think you let the bar hang on your fingers and not your palm. He told me to put the thumb over the nail of the middle finger though, to lock the weight into place. The powercleans actually felt so much easier when I did that. ![[image loading]](http://images.wikia.com/startingstrength/images/6/64/HookGrip.jpg) @LastChance: So is milk. Here's a protip. If you're not a milk drinker don't drink 8 glasses of milk all of the sudden at once and expect not to hate yourself the following day. Still really missing optimum whey atm cuz I hate stuffing my face with food. | ||
