a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6955 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250 637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq	Friday 03/10/08 This is all getting a bit boring now, but a plan is a plan (well only when you're injured) Was thinking of deadliftin tonight, turns out Rick is deadlifting so that seals it, i'm working in with Rick. Deadlift 60 x5 60 x5 100 x5 The back can certainly feel Wednesdays pulls!! No biggies here tonight 140 x5 180 x5 190 x5 200 x5 All ok, if not a bit tired from Wednesday. Knee stood up well Front Squat 60 x5 60 x5 90 x5 110 x3 110 x3 110 x3 First night on fronties since the knee went. Didnt feel great but they weren't going to. The knee is definitely on the mend, but i woudl say i am only letting it go about 80% as i am scared of it going again, plus it doesnt feel anything like right yet. Having said that there has been decent prgress this week, slowly slowly catchy monkey i suppose!!! Rick deadlifted well, nice PB and some gutsy work afterwards too!!! Press behind neck 40 x5 60 x5 70 x5 80 x5 80 x5 80 x5 I'm very very bored of these at the minute Leg Extensions 3x15 Off home!!

Any improvement on this side? You're right about taking your time, i'd even concider using sticking knee wraps to some extend.

It's just been a long haul and doesnt seem over yet, we'll get there though

left the country satisfied Member 10, 19241 posts SQ 240, BP 150, DL 270 660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq	it looks like pretty damn good progress for an outsider mate. 5x200 with a dodgy knee is heavy, so that alone is evidence that things are on the mend. just dont rush it man!

It will be a happy day in Adlington when you visit us again, looking forward to it already, i just hope you're not teasing us!!! Pete, you have it bang on, the odd filthy text from Mrs Wigan does a treat when i'm sat alone in a cold Adlington with a deadlift staring at me and the prospect of front squats to come

Is partial to the odd bender. Member 6, 10239 posts SQ 280, BP 192.5, DL 317.5 790.0 kgs @ 102kgs Eq	Wigan I have more power clean questions. You and Andy both mentioned I was pulling with my arms too early. At exactly what point should I be tugging with the old guns?

You and Andy both mentioned I was pulling with my arms too early. At exactly what point should I be tugging with the old guns? To be honest T, you should never actually consciously pull with your arms. At the point where your arms bend the bar should be moving at such a speed that there is no strain on your arms at all, rather that you are bending then only to move your elbows through and up to catch the bar across your shoulders. It's this movement that give the impression of the famous "flicking it up", if you actually use your arms it will look more like you are putting it across your shoulders rather than 'flicking' it there. Just think of ripping the bar off the floor and generating enough speed to throw the bar up in the air and then jump or dip under it to catch it on your shoulders. Think of it as more a throw and catch movement than 'lifting' to your shoulders. Not sure if all that makes sense or sounds like bollox??? Tried to find a video of Andy power cleaning but failed, all i could come up with is this. I'm not the best power cleaner (i pull on slightly bent arms, which you shouldn't) but it gives you a bit of an idea of the 'flick' rather than 'putting it there' with a big arm pull
