Same here

Or, and this is a fairly crazy out of left field suggestion, do deadlifts first...

How dare you suggest such a crazy thing!? .. I feel like such a "Insert word here"...

 

[Delvis]

Worth a shot chap

I believe I used to do deads then squats afterwards, not at the same numbers mind.

Yea, I may alternate them on Workout B. I believe my squats have improved from when I first posted, so now its on to Deadlifts

You mean Vastus Lateralis?

Tbh I think you'll struggle to target it specifically, just squat more

 

[reiyushin]

Vastus Lateralis is my favourite target in muay thai

nice cleaning i just started doing power cleans again the last few weeks, love em todays were

75 x 8
80 x 8
82.5 x 6
85 x 6

need to be pushing nearer 110 if i hope to do any competitive stuff

 

[Buffman]

A bit better than me then . Definetly is all technique though as I could feel it going up well when I kept the bar close to me (cut into a my shin but hey... ) whereas failed reps where the technique wasn't there. Bodyweight powerclean sets a standard anyways (Want above bodyweight )

yeah bodyweight is the king im probs a few kilos on you, i reckon id get 100-105 out for singles 112 is BW currently so im not sure

 

[MoNkeE]

Hmm... Tempted to do 80kg power cleans just so I can say I'm over bodyweight for them now

 

[icecold]

At my new teeny tiny bodyweight some a bw clean is pretty comfortable. 1.5xbw would be nice!

 

[reiyushin]

Get some speeeeeeeeeeeeed! cleans rock

 

[Delvis]

Mmmmmmmmmm, Glute doms

 

[MoNkeE]

Pay day on Thursday. Gunna finally by some liq chalk, resistance bands and a foam roller. I've been a lazy female reproductive organ for long enough!

 

[icecold]

I've got my eye on this one myself: http://www.amazon.co.uk/66fit-EPP-Foam-Roller-Black/dp/B004UQXI9A

It's the only conventional foam roller that has any impact at all on me these days.
