My right shoulder was buggy but I did these cable rotator cuff reps with 7.5 lbs and I think it 'fixed' my right shoulder.. shoulder felt weird for like 1.5 months ever since I tried to bench 225.. feels way better now.

WTF.

LAST WEEK, I WAS DOING 150 PUSH PRESS

TODAY I HAD 4-5 HOURS OF SLEEP, BUT BEFORE THAT I MADE A PROTEIN SHAKE WITH 2BANANAS

I DID 155X6 155X6 160X5 155X3.5

BEFORE THAT I DID 150X5 150X6 ETC..

WTF?? HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE

I think maybe I'm using more of the right technique, and also getting stronger, and also more energy from bananas..?!!?!

Yesterday when I did close grip bench press, before that I did weighted pullups and I did 3-4 more reps than I usually do. In between pullups and close grip bench, I had like almost no recovery time.

Last week's set was something like:

180x4 180x5 180x4 180x4

This week it was

180x4
180x3
175x2.5
170x2.5
135x10

I was in a rush to leave the gym - do you think I just didn't have enough rest time in between sets, combined to the fact that I did better with my pullups than last week, which burned my forearms/arms?

Lance,

Can you address the chocolate mlik and tricep/chest questions please, whenever you get a chance? I was serious about those.

Why is Chocolate milk better if it's just milk+chemicals to make it chocolate? Does that mean I need to, say, do chocolate protein + chocolate syrup shit + regular milk? Please explain like I'm 5.

Since my regular bench is 185/190 and my close grip is 180, that means my chest is weak and my triceps are strong, or like you said I need to work on my bench form..

Fuck, I really do need to go to bed.

BED.

Wait, I'm fucking dumb - the way to make chocolate milk is to mix regular milk with powder anyway.. but maybe the way they do it results in less fat and more lean, probably from low fat milk...

So powder+low fat milk? Or?

Thanks.

Last retarded question of the day,

Should I avoid powdered chocolate milk because it mixes with white fat milk, or should I use white low fat milk and powdered chocolate? I think you meant always get it in liquid form, but just want to double check.

Sorry for the retardedness.

I never buy chocolate milk - can you recommend a brand or something for that? And they usually come in cartons, not the big jugs like regular milk, no?

I just replace regular white milk in my protein shake with chocolate milk?

Also, can you confirm that the grip I use in my push press is the same as one would use for a front squat?

Sorry, I have issues understanding shit even if it's in video form.

What would my clean and press set look like? If my push press now is 150/155 and my hang clean is reps of 120-125s..? Just do clean and press with 120/125? What about sets and all that?

If I do clean and press, should I ditch push press altogether? If I do, should I do overhead press on another day where I previously did push press?

Sorry for the overloading of questions, but I'm really curious about every question I asked. I really appreciate it.

Another thing,

For hang cleans should I get straps? If so what brand?

Someone was doing olympic lifts and I asked them for push press tips, and they mentioned that the way I hold the bar was wrong, they were doing it more like the way you did it in your video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-xgHIEJBJ4

Where you hold the bar like a front squat and rely on your wrists holding it initially instead of gripping it, and the elbows are higher - in my video I'm not holding it like a front squat... I need to hold it like you do in that video and the turn over the arms to lock out...

Can you just verify the above is right?

I will try posting more vids this week or next.

Lance,

I wanted to make a little adjustment but I want your opinion on this...

Do you think it would be a retarded idea to combine push press and cleans into just clean and jerk? When you combine push press and hang cleans that IS a clean and jerk, no?

Also - I wanted to emphasize a bit more on the upper body - chest/shoulders... do you think it makes any sense to do seated overhead press, or is it a waste of time because of push press? Only reason I ask is, obviously, you use the entire body and it's an explosive movement for the push press - whereas I think the shoulders are more focused on if it's a strict press.

In before you telling me not to change my plan because I'm making progress. Only reason I'm asking is cuz cp3 mentions seated overhead press being better than push press, or some shit.

In before cp3 reading this and mentioning it to me on IRC.

lol, nice one.

Another question, when I reinjured my lower back like 2 months ago, I had to take like 3 weeks off. I think I lost some lb or two from my ass. Is that possible?

No homo.

Someone told me it's better to go with fat free milk post workout for shake because if there's fat, it'll be slower to provide protein to the muscle. Is this BS?
