That should be "Hi, dumbass, it's called outbox." by the way.
PMs do not automatically appear in one's outbox.

Can we have a sent items folder for private messages? Without one it is impossible to tell if the PM one has sent has actually gone through.

I watched a bit further.
I really appreciate the approach to training these guys have...Training for life vs training for competition is an important and under recognized distinction.

I was confused about what Kadima was...I knew it was a political party in Israel, but I figured that you were not playing that, so I googled it. Up comes the political party. In Israel, which is the only country I have ever seen that game played, it is called matkot.
Thought you would like to know that.

« on: August 23, 2010, 10:02:06 pm »That is a clean and jerk, not press.
Has anyone taught you jerk technique? A correct jerk does not involve pressing the bar, it is primarily just catching it.
Obviously I've learned the technique, just not proper terminology. I'm not sure the words matter quite as much as the fact that I did the workout as it was described to me.
Right-o.

« on: August 23, 2010, 07:47:45 pm »On clean and press I'm not stopping the weight on my shoulders with my legs straight and then pressing. It's one motion and my legs help me get the weight up a lot.
Like this but without stopping.

And military press just like this.

« on: August 22, 2010, 11:50:56 pm »Phase III Day 4 (Thursday):
Soreness is all gone. I realized I need to spend more time stretching. I'm not very flexible at all and it would be of huge benefit to me anyway in hurdles and strength.
Workout layout will be the same as listed earlier for the next 4 weeks.
Hang Snatches: 75/85/95 and 85/95/100 (Oh, shite I need work on shoulders.)
Military Press: 65/75/85 and 75/85/90 (Yeah.....I'm pretty buff aren't I? haha)
Russian Twists: 2x10 w/10lb. weight.
Prone Rows: 2x10 w/2x25lb. dumbbells.
The ridiculously week shoulders is probably because of my deltoid tear. That might be one of the ones with fastest improvement now that I'm recovered. You never know.
You were clean+pressing 115 the other, why are you only pressing 90 today?
Regardless, good session.
