EPTIs it just me, or should my CJ:snatch ratio be much higher? Right now it's 123/100, which seems....oddly low on the CJ.

On The Weightlifting Scoop Glenn Pendlay was saying that peoples' snatches often are much higher than they "should" be than C&J because it's got so much technique that once you get some good technique you fly up in kilos. On the other hand, C&J is more about strength, so in the snatch you can get up closer to your potential faster than you can in the C&J or something alone those lines. Bottom line generally tends to be squat more though  Nice numbers  | ||

Did a lot of foam rolling (for me, at least) before the workout. IT band isn't really hurting when I roll anymore, but I found some NASTY spots in my hip ab/adductors. Also did some upper back rolling, just because I noticed it was tight yesterday. Never really done that before, not sure what problem spots to watch out for. Rack position for the front squat is getting harder and harder to maintain. I'm really not sure what I need to stretch (wrists + triceps?) to get that back, because I had an easy time getting into it the very first time I ever tried. Need to front squat more, because my legs are still tiny  | ||

You might get a better long term effect by rolling after, but I think so long as you're doing it at all, it's going to be fine. I like to roll out the whole of my leg/lower back giving 10-15 rolls to each area, then go back and hit the real "problem spots" for an extra minute each. You're not going to eliminate all the problems in one session, it's all about consistency. This way you don't spend half an hour on rolling, and start to cut into your actual lifting time. Don't forget to stretch, too. | ||

I weigh 66kg now (from a lowly start of 58kg) Squat 95kg 5x5, next week is last push of 100 5x5 before deload (highbar) Bench 57.5 5x5 Clean 80kg Snatch 50kg Max FS 100kg It's amazing how diet and good, demanding programming can change your body type. I'm literally the skinniest ecto around but through hard work I've now attained 1.5BW FS and 1.5BW 5x5 BS. I'm going to aim for 70kg weight by the end of the year People think being ecto sucks but it makes it a ton easier to put on lean mass, it just means your base is tiny Halfway through the program now, keep pushing until the end of the year! | ||

Its supposed to rest on me right, is it normal to have bruises on my collar bone? Very new to the exercise, sorry I've just started learning a narrow stance front squat beacuse i hurt my groin. I've found that by pulling your elbows up as far as you can till your arm is about parallel to the floor helps the bar rest comfortably on your delts. | ||

If it isn't, you aren't getting your elbows up. | ||
