Ofc not :D I even said that I inhale when going down to squat position and exhale when I push weights up and then I breath in and out 1-2 times more before next rep or well these I take these 1-2 breaths only when it's 4th or 5th rep. | ||

My friends(not crawler) nag about it, that when i bench i dont breathe while pushing it up. i do the same, it feels much better than to "force" yourself to breathe out. | ||

Good stuff for fixing a sleep pattern. | ||

Close the curtains, unplug the pc, put a towel under the door... Even throw a shirt over the glowing numbers on your alarm. Make it dark and quiet as you can, sleep like that is on a whole other level. Also the usual, try to start doing something relaxing like an hour and a half before sleep. You should be alright, I've been running on three or four hours a night since thanksgiving. Fuck finals man  .Also, didn't know you had a girl, congrats on that... And hope she's ok. | ||

She was probably watching Decaf lift, and he by accident threw a barbell her way. Or during Rugby practice when he was in Hulk mode, he tackled her. Decaf-Hulk does not draw distinctions between opponents, teammates and spectators. But then she pat his back and so he carried her to the hospital with his huge 'bigger deadlift than mine'-arms. | ||

Just got back from the gym, took it real easy just did 3 snatch singles at 90 and 3 cj singles at 105 (one at 120). Just got my new singlet so i wore it during my session and it felt great. The guy hooked me up..got me a 90$ singlet for 40$...awesome. On my snatch i started bringing my knees out around the bar instead of more in and it feels really good, keeps the bar closer to my body and flattens out the S curve. Also felt SUPER fast getting under the bar in my clean and jerk, can't wait to lift tomorrow. Thinking about opening around 115-120 for snatch and 135-140 for CJ. Goal is to hit 125 and 147 | ||

Fasting and then hitting the meals helps to reset the body. That's what the progamers who are flying all around are supposed to do.... but they probably don't do it. | ||

Your deadlifts seem pretty good to me, just try and keep your back as straight as possible throughout the lift, not just when it leaves the ground. It was still pretty good, just a small tip I'd try and keep in mind. Also, I don't do any of the olympic lifts (sadly), but I believe you are using way too much arm due to the amount of arm bend. Something I saw in a video awhile back was, right before you begin your lift as the bar is gripped, to turn your elbows outwards as far as possible. I believe it was called marionette arms? Basically, it was to teach the trainee to learn not to bend their arms and was just a tool to help them. But I'd wait till the more experienced olympic lifters (dimsum, decaf, ect) get in here and chime in as well. | ||

DL: You're keeping the bar too forward. It doesn't seem obvious now because the weight is not very heavy but soon you will be tipping forward and losing your balance. PC: Just started doing these myself so take my advice with a grain of salt. Your 2nd pull needs to be more aggressive/explosive. You should drive your elbows up when you rack. Try hang cleans to get that explosiveness. FS: Once again, your weight is too far forward. Try to keep your back more vertical. | ||

1. Get into a set position first. Lower those hips, keep your back arched and look forward. 2. Intial pull off the ground is to keep that same back angle and drive through your heels. 3. scoop the bar into your body after the bar past your knees. 4. once bar gets to the upper thigh, drive with your hips 5. Once you drive with your hips, drop under the bar and get your elbows as high as possible to receive the bar onto your shoulders. | ||

Your Front Squat looks like your upper back is lacking behind, it seems you have problems holding yourself upright and have to use your arms too much to hold the barbell in place. If that is the case, no easy fix here, just need a stronger upper back. | ||

Also, I want to have Dat pump for formal. Exercises to throw in at the end of my lift? I'm doing squats, power cleans, ohp and chinups. and I should lift like ~1 hour before I go out? | ||
