Average , coming out of a slump right now really got maybe 6 good months under my belt since sorting myself out but diet hasnt been on point. Just about to get a blog going for the year probably do it here or maybe wordpress, should be interesting i wanna go from where i am now to doing some competitive regional lifting this time 2013. I just dont post around here anymore much because its gotten quite cliquey, there is one way or the highway.

Well I hope things go well for you chap :)

I'm probably going to start up a blog to note my training down and a few other bits rather than cramp up the forums I think

There was a Gym Rats cake, but we ate it :(



U_E, what sort of competitive lifting are you thinking of doing?

Weighed myself on the weekend, approaching 10lb lighter than I was about 5 weeks ago. Doh!!

Really need to get it in gear, went for a run last night for the first time in 4 years. Legs are on fire!

Happy Birthday MoNkeE and TommyV !
Morba - I've seen people around me talk about it - god know what sort of ridiculous activity that might be.

That is a decent attempt, but it's actually technically flawed in a few places.

"Pocket position" is wrong

His hang power snatches aren't great (although they get better having watched the rest of the videos)

Snatch balance is wrong

His power snatched aren't really very good


The progressions are good, but only once you've fixed the technical problems. He says it's a modified Glenn Pendlay progression, I suggest that he shouldn't have modified it ;)

Fair game, I have no idea to be honest. Just thought I'd post it up :)

Ta though

Not have a go at all mate. I might try and make a guide with videos at some point for the guys I train. If that works, then I'll post it up.

No I know it's cool, if you can get some videos showing good form, it'll help all users here really :)
 
I'll only post something if the teaching format seems to work. At the moment I'm not totally convinced it's really possible to learn from reading something.
