EPTAlso I got my cleans up to 80kg (3 reps) at 70kg bodyweight yay. Tried some snatches just with the bar but I'm really struggling with shoulder flexibility and also my elbows don't fully extend.

I know I want to do something in this field now. Physical therapy at that place? Not necessarily, but we'll see what there is. Awesome stuff though. Basically personal training for rehabilitation. | ||

I have basically 3 spots, from top to bottom, where I can hold the bar comfortably: 1. On traps: Doesn't move and feels a bit soft because it's against muscles. This is how I've squatted for over a year. 2. Against some bone, I believe it's the scapular spine. There's hardly any tissue padding the bar. This is wrong, I think. 3. Below scapular spine. I believe this is how low bar squat should be done. But, it doesn't seem to be that easy for me. It doesn't feel like a very sturdy place to hold the bar compared to traps. It's almost as if it could fall any moment, but maybe it really doesn't, just feels that way. Then as I got more sweaty the bar basically started rolling down my back slowly unless I kept it steady, but this puts a lot of pressure on my wrists. Is low bar squat supposed to be this technical compared to high bar? Maybe my rear deltoids are shit; maybe I'm not raising my elbows hard enough or putting hands close enough to my shoulders, I really don't know. Any tips? | ||

Picks would be best, but you should be getting your hands as close as possible and pulling your elbows DOWN. Try thumbless grip, cause you can't really put much pressure in your wrists and if you do it correct should feeel safe. | ||

As for more generic advice, if you don't have the flexibility, you can try a wider grip so you can get under the bar better. Try to bring your elbows up to create a more stable position for the bar. I remember reading SS said raising elbows, but on stronglifts I read the opposite and it fixed my squat completely. I leaned foward less and felt a lot safer. Wrote my 2012 goals on my liquidpoker blog, will post link here for u guys to read it here, hopefully its not against some rule. http://gotunk.liquidpoker.net/ | ||

Decaf: It seems that your pull strength is more than sufficient for the 150C&J, but I think what's dragging you down is your catch of the bounce. You expend too much energy on the clean recovery because you rest for a second at the bottom. If you can catch that bounce I think you can smash that 150kg. Of course, this is another one of those easier said than done things. | ||

I don't understand why there are so many dislikes. Do people actually think he was being serious with his technique...? | ||
