edit: to add some more meat to my post I didn't quite understand the movement leading to the power position in the Don's video I posted. I tried to check out some picture sequences but I think in none of them lifters had their back like that and the actual pull seems so short, or is the pull after the 'power positon' just the last shrug before going under? also do you really have to use your lats like that leading up to the 2nd pull? at least I dont do a concscious effort using them like that and one would think when the weights get heavier you don't even have to press the bar closer to you with your lats. | ||

Same with me. Maxing out at least 3-4 times a week on the lifts + squats has worked well for me, I haven't been train that long though so I'll see how it goes in the future. My rule of thumb is that if my CJ is <80% of my best FS then I back off the squats (to only 3x a week, same intensity, cut volume/frequency) and focus on the classical lifts and technique. Currently writing a major part of my honour thesis atm so I have only been training once a week (snatch/cj/fs then gtfo every friday) for March... haven't lost any strength so far but ofc no gains either. Should be able to start getting back into things in April. | ||

Doc also told me to stop split jerking and avoid any lunging or internal hip rotation, as this tends to be what causes knee problems. I'll have to switch to power or squat jerk and my right knee is likely to be permanently weaker than my left. All that said I can't wait to return to this sport at long last. I've been doing a lot of upper body/bbing training over the 12-14 weeks I haven't been doing oly, so I'm going to look fucking swole while I'm totaling under 200kg. CGBPed 225x7 with hands in the smooth and did bw+70lbs pullups for 3 sets of 5 weighing 207. | ||

I'm just glad I won't need surgery or heavy corticosteroids (though I believe some mild corticosteroids are part of the ultrasound treatment). Gettin all kinds of swole helps too. | ||

I've always been weak in the front squat and when I was doing them before, I'd let my knees cave in as I got fatigued. One day, I felt a pop in my left knee which was fine immediately after but from that point on I had pain in the area as soon as I squat past parallel. Kinda ignored it for a few weeks before getting scared and visited a physiotherapist with the advice of my coach. When the physio said I probably just irritated the meniscus and did not do any real damage to it, I was so relieved. I had to stop split jerking as well because the injured knee is the same one that goes to the back for me since it'd hurt when turned in for the split. I have to say, because of that incident and switching to the power jerk, it has actually helped immensely with learning to dip straight and stay on my heels for the jerk. Now my knee has long healed and I can play around with the split jerk if I choose to but I'm so used to the power now my split jerk is actually worse so I won't use it for anything other than to play around. Yeah man, that does indeed sound extremely similar to what happened to me. It was so weird because right afterword it felt fine and I even finished my workout and did my front squats with no pain. Then when I woke up the next morning it hurt a little bit, but I figured it was nothing and kept training on it. Then over the course of the next few training sessions it spiraled out of control and got very painful. Mine was right below the knee cap so I could rule out the meniscus right away. I'm not so worried about switching to the power jerk, I was considering it even before the injury. I was always able to power jerk ~92-95% of my split and squat jerk 85% of it. I always had a lot of problems with lumbar hypermobility and tended to lean back when receiving my jerks in the split. I never had this problem power jerking, which makes sense because your hips naturally have to shoot back when receiving the bar in power or squat jerks. Even though I could do more weight splitting, my lockouts were always a hell of a lot better power jerking. + Power jerking a given weight is simply less fatiguing than splitting and equivalent weight and that's always nice. | ||
