It helps a lot, and I do this after gym in the shower with my whole body, rotating between cold and hot a few times, and to be frank, the feeling is as good as sex when I am done in the shower. You should also consider that there are food that can cause irritation in your muscles as well, this method will not eliminate it if you keep harrasing your body left and right with inproper exercise, rest or food. Best advice ever. Thanks a lot, I've suffered to some form of Carpal tunnel, but not in a high intense pain way. Hopefully this will help. Imma go buy one of those heaters for my water :D! Thanks! | ||

I'm kinda working 12 hours a day right now and don't really have time to search for that stuff. Would save me some time. Eh? It should eventually be your 5 RM once you get close to stalling. It's usually anywhere between 70-100% of your actual 5 RM depending on where you started from and how much progress you already made | ||

I can do 7+ reps max with my squat 3x5 but probably only 5 or 6 with my press and bench 3x5. | ||

In short, I'm off to LA in 4 weeks, 5x5 is working for my strength progression but I am not leaning out fast enough, I workout 3 times a week, Tues/Thurs/Sat I go for a run on the beach Sunday nights and HIIT Mon or Tues morning before work. Due to the pressure on my lower back from Squats and Deadlifts I can't really do anymore cardio throughout the week, it just hurts too much. And I can't increase my workouts throughout the week as I wouldn't get a chance to recover. Do you guys think I should switch to a 4-5 day a week split workout routine with lower weights which would allow more cardio or just keep doing what I am and start cutting calories? | ||

Meh, it's just of theoretical value anyway. SS is actually quite nice to get back into the groove, works quite nicely. One last confession: I hate squats. I would rather Deadlift every other day. Still doing them 3x a week^^ | ||

That coupled with working fulltime at a fairly physical job has made this entire summer really crappy for training. My oly lifting experience goes on hiatus after tomorrow though, I return to my school gym, which doesn't have bumpers and doesn't allow weights to be dropped. I'd welcome any advice on what to do over the next schoolyear that will carryover well to when I'm able to start oly lifting again. I'm guessing the answer is just starting strength with some power snatching, push pressing/jerking, and front squatting mixed in. My full cleans have a sort of exaggerated jump/stomp to them which is making it difficult to get under the bar quickly. It's not the "donkey kick" either, it's literally like I added a jump between the 2nd and 3rd pull which is slowing my descent significantly. Most of them resemble very low power cleans caught around parallel that then get unconsciously ridden down. Oddly enough, it's less of a problem with the snatch where my footwork is much smoother but I have some severe premature arm bend in that lift which is probably a worse problem. I'm catching those in a full squat no problem though. My jerk is doing ok, it's inconsistent but I get it perfectly right 25% of the time and horridly wrong the rest. Most of the time there's something wrong with the back foot planting awkwardly. Hit 62kg full snatch, 92kg full clean, 87 rk jerk and only 83 c+j. High bar backsquat is 130 and bw is 91kg so obviously I have a lot of technical errors to iron out and could likely improve my lifts without gaining much squatting/pulling strength/bodyweight. For the next 9 months though all I'll be able to do is on squatting/pulling strength though. How about you? did you end up moving down weight classes? What are your training prs? | ||

 hmm I would probably just light power/full snatch lightly and prob go heavier in the clean. You can still do jerks power rack i guess. Also try to practice technique with just the barbell a lot. I found a video with a nice explanation of snatch. Here is part 1.Yeah I guess most of the work should be in strength building and flexibility. Squat a lot, work on pulls and upperbody. For the exaggerated stomp, just try to slide your feet out. Just keep working at it! If you could post videos of your technique, that would be great. I was watching some Chinese lifters training videos the other day. After they finish a workout, they go back to work on the technique with just a barbell! And my summer has been pretty crappy too due to my hand injury. I just started going a little heavy on my lifts but I still cant hold a lot of weight with snatch grip. Another lifter had a similar injury and she said it took her 6 months to recover! Hopefully I will recover in the following weeks... My training prs are 90 snatch and 110 clean and jerk. But my coach said I should be doing 100/130 by now haha. I have a meet in October to qualify for American Open so I hope I can be ready for that. I am currently trying to fix my technique since I do not pull correctly. I hyperextend instead of pulling straight up which causes me to swing the bar. Its been hard since I have to relearn the lifts. Also I will be dropping to 62 hopefully since I havent been gaining any weight. Im going back to uni too, but I will drive back down to my gym with some other lifters on the weekend to train. I found out last year it is worthwhile to train with your coach. Training alone or with some other lifiters isnt the same. Some people drive 2 hours to my gym to train, so I figure to stop being a bitch and go back on the weekends. | ||

Still doing them 3x a week^^ When the third set of the 3x5 gets hard to complete it's probably around ~95-97% of your actual 5 RM (with warmups of course). I don't like squats either.... but deadlifting 3x a week is unsustainable | ||

work on your shoulders first and see what happens; pec minor, lats, subscapularis (subscap can refer pain to wrist), pronator teres and work on your thoracic spinal posture;foam rolling, lacrosse balls, etc...... Nerve glides will most likely help significantly (median nerve especially for carpal tunnel): http://www.handhealthresources.com/Solutions Pages/Exercises.htm HEAT, massage THEN stretching to the flexors of the wrist. In that order. Aim to increase mobility in the wrist in that area. 2-3x a day 4-5x a week (10-15 mins for heat, 10-15 for massage, 5-10 for stretching). STRENGTHEN your extensors. ONLY your extensors. May be due to imbalances in the wrist as well. Strengthen your supinator. FISH OIL for anti-inflammatory. If your carpal tunnel is not too bad, this stuff should clear it up. | ||

Last weekend before going into diet, and serious gym workout! :O! Is eating a lot of tuna and potato good for my bulking? I'm pretty skinny, but I bulk up pretty fast, and whatever I do at the gym, it shows in a week. I'm planning on buying lots of tuna, potato and drink as much juice as I can. What kinds of juice are good? I bought pineapple and melon. Any other fruits to look forward too? I might be buying some BANANAS too waka waka! :D | ||
