« on: May 22, 2013, 07:18:06 am »also, i forgot to mention, last thurs when i was doing my sprints this group of HS kids walked past and one of 'em started walking over to me. dialogue follows:
high-ass kid: ey mang, i bet you ten dollars i can beat you in a race
lbss: yeah man, i bet you can beat me, too
h-ak: nah mang i'm, i can beat you
lbss: yeah, that's right, i'll bet against myself. i don't have any cash right now but otherwise i'd bet you ten dollars you could beat me in a race
h-ak: aight i bet you ten dollars you can beat ME
lbss: got no money, can't bet. next time, though.
**h-ak walks back toward his friends, who are still ambling down the track. h-ak continues talking over his shoulder.**
h-ak: iss nice to meet you mang
lbss: nice to meet you, too
h-ak: i luh you mang
**everyone laughs**
h-ak's friend: man shut the fuck up and get over here

As always any advice would be redundant without video footage.
But some cues/tips which work for me to keep the bar travelling as close to the body during the turnover:
- Slide bar up thighs smoothly, don't bang/push the bar off the thighs or hip crease
- Pull hard and high before the turnover. I even try to pull backwards during hip extension. Imagine someones nailed your toes to the floor and your trying to jump up. I pull until the bar reaches around navel level before the turnover.
- Stay in external rotation and the shoulder blades pinched together
Break it down and work on high hang snatch, high pulls.
The bar path should resemble an 'S' shape

You probably already know all this technical crap on paper, but the practical application is a different story.

Bar is coming too far forward on the catch or during the turnover?

Good goals, it will only be a matter of time for those primary ones.
Maybe incorporate 5-10min gymnastics at the start of sessions or off days (practice handstands, muscle up progressions ect) to help with the secondary goals. Will be good active recovery and won't leave you bored.

Hi all,
I am considering including some neural charge type exercises/concentric dominant variations to include in my warmups preceding strength sessions to help fire me up.
Currently I do
box jumps
horizontal bounding
ball slams
explosive pushups
lockouts from pins ect
Any guidance is appreciated!
Cheers

This is a bit old, but I personally think he'll be back.... he'll get a few match ups with nobody's until he can start climbing back into title contention again
But then there is the possibility of a match with dos santos which will get ratings..... or a rematch with bigfoot maybe

Dude... it's not nearly as good as it looks. Squat racks are nice, but the plates are all scrambled, and there are no proper bumper plates for oly style lifts. All the good ones have been broken by irresponsible high schoolers since it's a public rec center that the high school has priority over. Dumb kids break everything.
Fair enough, but just the fact that a public rec center has that kind of set up and equipment still blows my mind..... and also the priority strength training has for high school level athletes, it's soooo much different here in Australia...
