he's got betty davis eyes Member 1684, 6001 posts SQ 250, BP 186, DL 291727.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | I tried a few times as well, and it just didn't feel right. I decided I was going to stick with it because I was starting to lose weights forward even though I fet I would be strong enought to come up with them. I took the weight right back and started from scratch with the clean grip. It hurt a bit at first but within 3 or 4 sessions I was coming towards my top weights again. Since I started wrist flexibility has improved majorly and it doesn't hurt at all. I found the biggest difference was when I moved my thumbs to the same side of the bar as my fingers (ie thumbless grip) and I now automatically take the bar like that to press. I cant recommend enough sticking with it even if it is sore. Neil normally has the bar sitting well off his chest, at almost chin level for OH pressing, and he can now do it with the bar sitting on his cavicles, its just about sticking with it IMO | ||
