I've never heard that... I just tried it with a broomstick though and I can see the logic behind it. I'll give it a go next time I pull. Thanks for that man.

Here's a vid of the powerclean:

**powerman2000** · 08-07-2007, 02:33 AM

Good explosiveness.

**romanaz** · 08-07-2007, 02:33 AM

set up is meh @ best. you lose starting position almost immediatly, and it doesn't look like your using your legs to pull it up.

In the start position, you should be semi-narrow on the feet, grip is as close as you can go and when you start pulling, its all in the legs. You straighten your legs out and keep the back position, then you pull through the back and shrug and then sorta upright row it as high as you can and drop under a little bit.

What your doing is as soon as your legs straighten, you bend forward to much and lose the position. The bar needs to move straight up in a line.

Good effort, I think thats more weight then I can put overhead right now.

next time pull the camera back, I want to see all of you.

I know I would hurt my back if I started doing that sh*t.

lol.

I love it, its hard but so much fun. Plus, what beats dropping 130+lbs from overhead to hear it hit the floor? Nothing.

Sweet. Thanks for the info. I'll implement it next time.

Squats today.

Barx5
95x5
145x3
225x2
275x1 <---See vid

Flat DB Bench (for the hell of it)

60sx10

- - -

So I did 275... and it didn't go as well as I hoped. Just watch the vid:

Looking back, the depth is questionable, I didn't keep my head up, and I'm not sure if it would qualify as my spotter was touching my chest the entire ascent. He wasn't pushing at all, but he was just barely stabalizing me. I'm not really happy with this squat...

**powerman2000** · 08-11-2007, 02:47 AM

Excellent effort, and I agree with you on the depth.

I don't think you would have gotten 3 white lights on that lift.

danman77220 · 08-11-2007, 02:58 AM

Yeah me either. That's why I'm not counting this as a PR. Bahhhh.

Well now I'm just gonna REALLY kick my ass in the gym. It's gonna be fun.

Oh, and I think I'm gonna buy some creatine again and hide it from my parents.

**romanaz** · 08-11-2007, 06:02 AM

box squat lower and lower for a while. Helped me easily hit depth when I could squat to 13inchs when 15 was // for me

**BigZeke** · 08-11-2007, 07:18 AM

Looks like you were close to breaking parallel, about an inch or so, but just didn't get all the way there. It doesn't seem like the spotter helped you much.

Looks like you have the california rack as well. I freaking hate the thing, safety bars are too high, I've almost pinned out squatting before.

How wide is your stance?
