I dont know, dont quote me, i might be misquoting the big man as well  | ||

 I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10035 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | tokar said: Joni said: tokar said: 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. alan doesnt play that way. he believes in generating speed right off the deck, so thats what i aim to do  I thought I was agreeing with Alan as against what Tony suggested - so now I'm not sure I understand what Alan's advice was in the first place. Whatever it was, I'm sure he can't have been advocating using the stretch reflex during the first pull. Well, you get a good couple of seconds before the stretch reflex gets lost anyway, as I understand it. But certainly Alan believes in pulling the olympic lifts off the deck fast rather than not. | ||

I think it has to do with me stopping doing heavy narrow grips quite a while back. Anyways back to the drawing board. Made it up a bit in the other events i guess, but generally i am feeling pretty weak at the moment. Can't blame it all on weight loss  IFSA log press 3x70 3x70 3x70 2x80 1x87.5 1x95 2xfx95 - wtf, pressing line all over the place, tank empty, wtf 6x80 farmers walks 40mx30 40mx70 20mx100 30mx120 - pb, but i should have made 40m with a bit more heart and fighting spirit. 10mx120 - to bring the farmers back yoke 2x20mx80 20mx160 20mx240 - dropped it, lost balance trying to go faster 20mx290 - as far as i remember i didnt drop it, but it was on the slow side 2x20cmx350kg , so basically just two pickups, with a wee bit of a hold and couple steps. We will have our work cut out for us aiming to nail 20mx360kg by next summer log overhead lockouts cant remember, played with 110kg fair bit and 120 was nailed i think or something like that | ||

 always lookIng for the extra UT2 work. Member 9, 18279 posts SQ 210, BP 167.5, DL 260637.5 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | Yeah, a PB on farmers and yoke isn't a bad session at all! Like Will said, build the volume back up on the log and you'll be in pb territory in no time. | ||

left the country satisfied Member 10, 19241 posts SQ 240, BP 150, DL 270660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq | aye in all it wasnt that bad, but it must be my worst log pressing session so far in terms of PB & nailed weight difference! Boar said: LOL, has the sleeping/breathing combo problem you had (with a name i cant recall) subsided? sleep apnea - difficult to tell because i dont notice it myself. But i am still snoring, so the diet continues! Guys, which one would you choose: a) get to 110 quickly and then stabilise it well before the comps so dieting wont disturb the build up, or b) continue the slow ass weight loss and drop about 0.5kg per week all the way to the comp ? | ||

I'd just get it over with the quickest then I could just be left dead in peace. So I'd lose the weight first then concentrate on getting strong/not being depressed. | ||

I KNOW that I will! | ||

It is practically in the bag already SUNDAY MORNING WEIGH IN: 112.9kg whoah! Can i see a rib? No, that was just a shadow. Powerbelly is not really budging, only slightly. Cant see it moving much even when hitting 110kg. | ||
