I don't watch it. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? | |||

I do power cleans for explosion. Col_Austin said: As usual though, I'm sure you know best. I'm experienced enough to know how my body reacts to training. I've done rep work (and even bicep curls ) in the past. I've found what works for me. As I've said before - I'm progressing (at a rate I'm happy with) and I'm managing to avoid injury. I'm happy with that. I know you're a BIG puller, and the things you're saying are valid. I'm sure you'll agree though that different things work for different people. | |||

Col_Austin said: Wayne_Cowdrey said: Back strength should be allowed to 'mature' at its own rate and not 'forced'. Would you mind elaborating? I know what I mean, but I'm struggling to elaborate! What I'm trying to say is - my back is primarily a vital part of my body that I need in working order for everyday life. Car lifting etc is a secondary function! A bit of care should be exercised with regard to back training. Striving for speedy results with a vulnerable structure like the human back could potentially be very harmful. Develop slowly! Sorry - that's a crap reply I've given you! | |||

JC said: Wayne after 3 doubles at 85%, your back would be fine a few days later, no? Doubles at 85% wouldn't be taxing enough for strength training purposes. | |||

Performing a sufficiently taxing number of reps with, say, 85% of my 1RM would require a longer recovery than pulling 1 near-max single. I need to keep dead lifting volume down to a minimum, otherwise it affects my other training. I need to work on log, farmer's, stones, etc. There's a lot of back work involved in that stuff. Dead lift isn't a priority for me at the moment. Yes, my standard dead lift isn't great, but I do tend to perform quite well at dead lift variations that crop up in comps. However, I am intending to get some more volume in on farmer's dead lifts. These don't give me anywhere near the same recovery issues. In the past I've done a stint of just these, and then pulled a PB on standard oly bar dead lift. Back strength should be allowed to 'mature' at its own rate and not 'forced'. | |||

Your kids cant stay on an airport floor for a week. I'll take the CC thanks That's an extreme example. I was referring more to everyday life - the "stick it on the credit card" attitude, leading to "s**t, I'm in debt". | |||

What's wrong with good old-fashioned "saving up" for things? I don't have a credit card and have no intention of ever having one. Live within the budget that you have. | |||

If it had been set to the correct height (more ground clearance) then there wouldn't have been a problem. If he'd lost balance he'd have dropped it and needed to lift it again before moving on. | |||
» Penalty me thinks??? (Go to post) | 28-04-2010 @ 14:24 | ||
No deliberate sliding there. The yoke wasn't set to the right height. Shouldn't be a penalty, in my opinion. I've seen far worse! | |||

Col_Austin said: Three to five sets of doubles or triples at 235 working up to 245 over the next month or two would probably make a lot of difference. I'd be a permanent physical wreck and only able to train once a week!! Dead lifts give me quite bad recovery problems. | |||

Nice explosive lifting, Ken! I didn't see any double dips. BigKen said: at Worlds they weren't allowed to double dip either. Yes they were! Gary Taylor was double dipping! | |||

Felt ill, but still went to the gym. POWER CLEANS 70 x 2 70 x 2 100 x 2 110 - fail 110 x 1, failed 2nd (the 1st one flew up, and I pulled it a lot higher than needed!) 110 - fail 110 x 1 A 110 power clean is normally a certainty. STRICT PRESS (power clean at start of each set) 70 x 3 100 x 2 PUSH PRESS (continental clean at start of each set) 110 x 2 122.5 x 2 125 x 2 DEAD LIFTS 150 x 1 190 x 1 230 x 1 250 x 1 I had planned to squat, but didn't feel up to it. Gay. |
