My asshole is not watertight. Member 2926, 6050 posts SQ 217.5, BP 107.5, DL 225550.0 kgs @ 86kgs UnEq | Massively powerful, however, I'd disagree in that your technique is no better than before. In fact your rack position is awful and just asking for an injury in my opinion. That said, I wish I was as strong as you. | ||

It all looks rushed and there's no need to split so wide as you get the bar really high anyway. The rack position looked ready for snappage of the wrist! | ||

Every time you resurface on this forum, after whatever injury you've had, it shocks me at how impatient you are! If you took a leaf out of Tom Martin's book and just got a plan in place to progress gradually (with good form) you could be looking at some crazily good lifts in a few years. As it is I suspect you'll just keep sticking 10kg on every thing for a bit and see what falls off first. Only my opinion and all that. Good luck either way  | ||

In fact your rack position is awful and just asking for an injury in my opinion. Yep, my thumb really hurts now. BUT! I've been watching a lot of videos lately, especially Clarence. I think if i wasn't holding back i could jump underneath in a nice position. I've only just got the all clear on my achilles so i'm worried about extending fully, or jumping underneath. That being said, my Dr is mates with Keith Morgan and gave me his number. | ||

Why did you go for what looks like a max attempt after just getting the all clear on your achilles? | ||

 Sports an extremely muscular arse. Member 38, 6253 posts | I've missed your insanely awkward looking cleans! | ||

| Avatar not found I might destroy the planet Member 2745, 803 posts | Jesus! Yeah i get the point. I wrapped up very well, i held back any extension and did not go to max. I lifted calmly to make sure i didn't go too heavy. Just a little tester before i begin for real. I won't go above 100kg for a while, but i am front squatting heavy again. I know the tech is s**t, but bare in mind i haven't even cleaned a bar in 12 months. I'll upload again in a couple of months. I'll call Keith Morgan so i can get coaching. Crystal palace, what a pain to get to. | ||

Looks are deceiving. It's not max, every weight was similar to this because i held back on every attempt to ensure i didn't hurt myself. | ||

Seek advice from a good coach and then actually take it. | ||

Seek advice from a good coach and then actually take it. I know. It's an athlete thing. I see countless athletes lifting even worse. One 75kg jumper i know recently power cleaned 130 and caught it nipple height with straps! I don't know how his wrists survived. I train a female long jumper who i went through every portion of the lift correctly, increasing the weights over a 3 month period. As soon as you ask her (and other athletes) to go heavy, they just want to rip it as high as possible and forget form. I think its because there are so many power tests for athletes that concentrate on full extension over everything else. I don't really know what im saying here.... | ||

concept 2 guru Member 1235, 4675 posts SQ 190, BP 137.5, DL 220547.5 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq | Impatience and trying to yank at the bar isn't reserved for just athletes. It's common in everyone who doesn't trust their own ability to hit the right positions through the pull and get themselves in a confident place to receive the bar. Most peoples form changes a bit when they go heavy (mine does for sure) but there are a few things that you really can't get away with over time. Those wrists are going to break if you keep doing PCs like that. Well before you do the things you've probably got the potential to do. You need to take the ego out of it and just treat yourself like a beginner. Spend a long time getting the form inch perfect (probably under a good coach) with light weights and build your strength at the same time with relatively straight forward strength movements like squats, front squats, deadlifts and presses. You'll be stronger than every with a form you actually trust and then should start inching the weights up on the classic lifts. God I'm boring myself now. I'll shut up because I'm sure someone has spelt all this out for you before! | ||

| Avatar not found I might destroy the planet Member 2745, 803 posts | Thanks Gingy. Maybe someone told me 2 years ago but it's easy to forget. Plus, anyone who hasn't even been able to even jog for 2 years will know how good it feels to be free again, i couldn't help myself. I wasn't even going to do power cleans after another 2 months, but i was silly and gave in to the pressure. My GF moaned at me too. I am smarter with squats. From Box squats to very light full fronts with pause over 2 months. I also tested out whatever was comfortable there. I did a comfy 185 with a pause and very solid form. It might sound rushed, but eccentric squats are keeping me healthy. | ||
