I thought it was a "nice little session", and i forgot to log 3 sets of sidebends and 2 sets of gunz as well lol but i am trying to increase my work capacity though, its part of my operation to get fitter and more conditioned. | ||

left the country satisfied Member 10, 19241 posts SQ 240, BP 150, DL 270660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq | i like being at the gym so the answer is probably way too long 2+ hrs usually but quick session today at adlington, had to rush back to manchester for friends leaving do. first some full squat snatches with a bar, then with 50kg and fell on my arse, wised up and: power snatch 3x50 3x50 3x50 3x60 1x70 1x70 - best of the day Alans todays tip: do not squat down to start the pull, just go to the start position and start from there, much less mistakes with the leg drive that way. Fantastic. deadlift 5x60 5x137.5 3x177.5 1x217 3x177.5 alan had me stand further back in the starting position to get better leg drive and to keep the shoulders over the bar. Worked a treat! Exited about hammering some practise with this. strict press 5x60 3x70 1x80 - pish 10x60 squat 5x70 3x115 2x160 felt s**te. | ||

 Is partial to the odd bender.

Fantastic No stretch reflex benefit though. | ||

 always lookIng for the extra UT2 work. Member 9, 18279 posts SQ 255, BP 167.5, DL 330752.5 kgs @ 103kgs Eq | Tony he means not sitting down waiting in the bottom position as opposed to keeping stiff legs then dipping down to it. | ||

left the country satisfied Member 10, 19241 posts SQ 240, BP 150, DL 270660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq | yeah because i am so new to cleans and snatches if i try to dive in and get that stretch reflex, or squat down first and wank it up and down, the whole first phase of the pull and the bar path will be really hit & miss from there onwards. So better to go down to the start of the pull position and start driving through legs there. When i am accustomed to the lifts i can do something more fancy. so maybe in about 7 years time... | ||

Man it will take you less than that. A man who can pick atlas stones can possibly snatch, the contrary isnt true. At least thats what i think.  | ||

 Невыносимо Высокомерный (RIP) Member 11, 965 posts SQ 190, BP 140, DL 255585.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq | You don't want stretch reflex in Olympic lifts. They should be plenty light enough that you have no trouble getting them off the floor - the point of the first pull is just to get you into position to perform the second pull correctly. You don't need to be generating speed off the floor. | ||

left the country satisfied Member 10, 19241 posts SQ 240, BP 150, DL 270660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq | Sugden Center - Crazy session and a lot of banter and way too much work. Been a while since i have been at Sugden, so it was great to meet all the crazy guys there again. Anthony The Machine had recently benched 160kg touch and go, so as 84kg 22 year old guy thats not too bad! He might do the NW raw bench press in february, fingers crossed he will! 15 minutes skipping 10 minutes cross trainer plate flips (per hand) 10x10 10x15 5x20 didnt have chalk so the plates started slipping and felt very heavy. narrow grip bench press 8x60 8x100 8x100 machine row with 15 second hold at top 1xstack 1xstack 1xstack + 15kg plate PUMP! one set of woodchoppers "because the cable machine was there" Ab pulldowns 6x56 6x63 5x70 35 mins - yes, 35 - crosstrainer, low setting, burned 450 calories. | ||

Whatever it was, I'm sure he can't have been advocating using the stretch reflex during the first pull. | ||
