Yeah that's one of the series I've been using to get the lift right. I've been doing clean high pulls and jump squats to try to learn my body a bit better and figure out the difference between Jumping/Extending only at the hip. | ||

I use a tight vertical shot or else you would be getting all the middle aged wives who happen to be in the weight room at 1PM on a Wednesday  2 attempts at CJ 135, was nervous as this was the first time recording myself + Show Spoiler + Another attempt at 135, by just looking at my video I see I gotta work on my split jerk because it has been a hit or miss thing for me since I started doing it 4 weeks ago. + Show Spoiler + My third video is at 155 which is the first time I attempted that weight. My clean was OK, the front squat was getting hard, and I was worried about my wrists on the jerk... so I ended up splitting short and completing with a push jerk of sorts. I still consider it a PR! + Show Spoiler + So, that's me at 155lbs and two months of learning these lifts! I feel like the clean portion was actually pretty easy, but I'm approaching a limit on my FS. vid 1 - wtf, are you sure those shoes are good for you lifting like that? you look like you're about to twist an ankle on both attempts....... everyone here uses proper weighlifting shoes, which have extremely stable and flat support bases. vid 2 - that was much better, you seem pretty good mobility so shouldnt have too much problem figuring it out. i do recommend you start at 50-55kg and work up to 60kg tho if you have bumper plates. in clean, a 5kg difference in weight is a lot. its way better to be -5kg with good form than +5kg not doing it properly. its not like bench press where you can just power thru it and do less reps if you're too tired. vid 3 - looks good, you "frog legs" your legs when you land, see how they spread so much wider than your starting stance? idk if this is bad or not, watch some other videos to see if people have uniform stance. | ||

I'm a bit bowlegged so my ankles normally are twisted like that. When I walk in snow it's obvious that my feet are between 30-45 degrees pointed out. I used to get laughed at a lot as a kid EDIT: I did some reading and I think this should be my #1 priority: Untraining myself to land in that position. It might be more stable in terms of balance but I'm thinking it isn't in terms of weight. I don't squat/FS/DL like that. As for the shoes... they are pretty terrible in terms of support. They do force me to stretch even more, which is why I use them (for now). They are much better for deadlifting or plyometric work, but they force me to squat extra deep, which I like. Thanks for the feedback. | ||

I came into camp last August at 191 (insanely low for D End). I've been eating and lifting a lot and i'm close to 210. Probably closer to 208. Hoping to get to between 215-220 by next season. Was a scout team bench warmer as a freshman, but that was to be expected at my size and strength. I was one of five freshman DE's-- couple that with a rising junior starting at the other end (6'4 250), playing time will be hard to come by. Thanks for remembering me!  | ||

Also added a bit of extra pulls since I lost a bit of pull strength during smolov. Felt really good. | ||

Felt pretty awful lifting, but I got some good reps in on Squat. Hopefully can reach 4 plates in 3ish weeks? Wait are you allowed to go out for lunch in your school? If so you are one lucky mofo I eat literally the same food every single day because my school runs out of food during lunch T_T Edit: Also, anyone want to have a competition for 1xBW squats for reps or something like that? I'll challenge you to pushups, pull ups, and squats if you want, although I may have to use a slightly wider stance that you do | ||

We're planning on doing three weeks of high volume, two weeks of hangs, one week of blocks (using this as a lighter week to recover for the next phase), then four weeks of lifts from the floor. I'm adding a lot of accessory work all throughout, specially during the first 5 weeks. First time following my own programming, I hope to see some good results! Today: Pw sn + h. pw sn 135x2 145x2 155x3 Jerk 185x3 205x3 215x3 225x3 235x3 245x2 185x5 + Show Spoiler + | ||

Idk why when I do high hang cleans I can't keep it close on the way back up, I keep kind of banging it (less than I used to). I'll get it fixed. + Show Spoiler + | ||

60kg OHP shouldn't have pushed out that last rep, it gimped me afterwards lol also featured is more loser deadlift , which i thought would look OK but in actual fact looks completely and utterly fail. i just can't fucking bend any more than what you see here. i really don't get it. | ||
