As someone who has fucked his wrist up quite a bit between rugby and lifting, unless your wrist is broken/severly strained i doubt you have to drop cj or snatches for a month. Might have to train around it/tape/do prehab/rehab work.


Hmm yeah, you might be right. Really only hurts during jerks, snatches are zero pain. I'll start digging through mobilityWOD for wrist prehab shit.

I think some people that do fasted workouts like to take BCAAs before workouts on empty stomachs to help get them through.

Caffeine pill+BCAA drink w/ electrolytes seem to make my training better than I ever did when fed. Unfortunately, my work schedule is awful for fasting, and on top of that I work in a kitchen where our "rule" is eat whatever whenever.

Sounds nice for bulking ^^
I normally fast 8pm to 1pm. It's kinda half intentional.

Yeah I take BCAA's before and during my workouts. It isn't so much a energy problem as much as "I'm hungry as fuark" problem

Did ~8 weeks of smolov before calling it quits, got to 155kg squat for a single (ATG) at ~85kg with about 7 months of lifting under my belt. Going for double bodyweight squat by end of summer

Anyone have any practical stretches for increasing flexibility for front squats? My back rounds something fierce and my rack position has much to be desired

Thanks, I've seen that video and I'm trying to figure out how to do it without a training partner. I'm thinking something with pulling blocks or a somewhat awkward position in a power rack...

for that second stretch, you can probably do it by yourself if you put the bar in a front squat position, then go up to a squat rack where there's another bar sitting on the rack, and put your elbows on top of the other bar (while holding the first bar in the front squat position). then lower your bodyweight until you feel the stretch.

Very nice. Cheers!

Friend of mine is starting smolov jr for front squats, but I think I'm going to shy away from that and work on oly technique for the next few months.
