 a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6955 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | MrSmall said: Would you say you get the leg drive in the same way in the jerk and the push press? When I have my elbows a bit lower for the push press I feel a bit unstable and it bounces when I dip fast, while if I have elbows up further I don't have any lockout power it's like a tricep extension. dip and drive should be pretty much the same, in that it should be a short dip and a high drive, but from there on in things are different. Push press - will finish off with a little tricep, but this should be minimal if you've got your leg drive right. Jerk - straight to arms length with no press, again all from the leg drive. Elbow position - may differ between the two depending on preference. The danger of having the elbows low is that you will may well carry the weight on your arms instead of across your shoulders. The fact that you say it bounces when you dip indicates that this might be the case. The weight should always be carried across the shoulders not in the hands as that is where you will get the most benefit from your leg drive. Carry the weight in your hands and you risk losing the leg power and the weight going out in front as you drive. Hope this makes sense, bit difficult explaining in words. Basically try to keep the weight on your shoulders and not in your hands as you dip and drive.. | ||

Gone and easily forgotten....... Member 331, 22298 posts SQ 185, BP 100, DL 230515.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq | Got it, thank you mate. It's a balance with the push press, I can jerk like I front squat (elbow straight out in front) but with the push press last time I tried that it didn't work. It's a work in progress, thanks. Wish I could practise OH every day to be honest but my collarbone/shoulder joint where it rests can't take the beating as of yet  | ||

Jerks are awesome, push press is more useful for strongman but a bit rubbish to get a hold for, will get there in time, broken collars and all. | ||

a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6955 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Monday 04 January 2010 -6 this morning on the way to work and it didnt warm up any by the time i hit Adders at 4:30, in fact as I pulled up the snow started to fall. Adlington car park is an official ice rink, but decidedly warmer than in Adlington!!  The Adlington toilet is out of action due to the cystern being frozen solid. Two t-shirts and a jumper on, 1/2 an hour warming up and i'm moving like a sub-zero spaz. Not helped by the 'something' that's been hanging over me the last week. Not going to be a good one Snatch Bar x a million 50 x3 50 x3 50 x3 80 x3 90 x3 95 x2+F 95 x2+F 95 x2+F Not enough gas in the engine for the 3rd each time, in fact a number of the others were decidedly ropey and only just countable. Out of breath approaching the bar isnt a good sign, neither is feeling dizzy after each set, all done with frozen feet and mits, happy days!!! Snatch Pull 120 x3 120 x3 130 x3 110 x3 Front Squat 60 x5 100 x3 130 x3 150 x1 not tonight, probably not a good idea considering how i feel Press 60 x5 70 x5 70 x5 70 x5 70 x5 70 x5 Very possibly the coldest night at Adlington in the 5 winters I've been training there. | ||

a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6955 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Wednesday 06 January 2010 Still cold still very snowy, couple of days working at home, still not feeling 100%, voice is coming and going. Off the Adlington with the electric heater I use in the garage under my arm. Quiet at Adders tonight, roads there were a bit dodgy but definitely driveable, went the longer way round to avoid the snowy backroads, added about 10 minutes to the journey but not too bad. Quiet night tonight, just me LittleA and Young Valerie, the air in Adlington is decidedly lemon fresh tonight. Little heater coupled with the Calor gas one does the trick. Clean and Jerk 60 x1 60 x1 60 x1 100 x1 120 x1 130 x1 130 x1 130 x1 130 x1 135 x1 Considering how I've been feeling, fairly pleased with how these went. Deadlift 150 x3 180 x3 200 x3 Token gesture Squat knee sleeves 70 x5 115 x3 160 x2 180 x2 180 x2 180 x2 160 x5 Press 70 x5 80 x3 80 x3 80 x3 80 x3 80 x3 70 x10 Just me and JoeB left, bit of a chat and then he helps me push my car off the car park, f**kin BMWs, s**t on the snow they are | ||
