Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: a fast and explosive donkey!

Being English I've read some LeCarre, though I think in a very different context from you. I'll revisit some soon.

You ever read DeLillo? He's got a weird approach to dialogue that a lot of people hate, but a lot of people (me included) love.

Is this the start of the greatest comeback since Lasse Viren in '72!?!

 :derp:

won the 5 and 10 in 72 and 76. In 72 he fell over/tripped and lost like 150m that he made up and won

Talk about not accurate. Did the Weight scale test today.

The upper Grip test show 13.8%
and the the Weight scale test show 17.6%

average.... 15.7% + or - 10% is still on the high side..

Still flat-out ignoring advice I see. You can measure your body fat in 100 different ways and the answer will be the same: you have fat to lose!

"is still on the high side"

He admits right there that he has fat to lose.

wtf according to that he only started training for athletics in October 2011 and started to "solely focus on the sport." in Jan 2012.

Well like I said - if I were to keep the elbows high then my reach with the palms/fingers would be behind my back... somewhere around the trapezius. So that's where the bar should be in order for me to keep the elbows high. It's basically impossible to do with the bar on the shoulders.

just grip the bar wider, seriously

Lu Xiaojun is my idol. He has the best physique in the world.

Also, I remember this. It was such BS when they didn't let him take his third snatch.

I'm reading through t-nation articles about the subject...

http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_article/most_recent/front_squats_made_easier

Any other advice? I have very long forearms so the bar would have to sit in the middle of my neck if it is to stay on the fingers... but I'm also unflexible in the upperbody.

So who knows what my problems are.

If you have long forearms you just place your hands wider on the bar. That's covered in Starting Strength, I think. Look up the mobility wod stuff for rack position, he's got a bunch of videos about it.

how is this thread three days old and no one has posted a kf squat yet?

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U08pdMzjKUo" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U08pdMzjKUo</a>

because front angles look better

edit: this led me to watch the only publicly viewable video kf has up. It's highly recommended.

Anyone know any good sources/articles discussing the relationship between these? Like hypothetically if I got a wicked good side split and front split, would that make my active straddle (i.e. in front lever, back lever and planche) much wider? Would my squats be way better?
