Lance - when should I take creatine? morning? night? I usually take it in the morning, 1 spoon raw and gulp down some water afterwards. Should I avoid taking it after huge meals if I somehow forget to take it in the morning?
I switched from barbell tricep reverse curls to dumbbell with a 'diamond' grip - I find this way more comfortable, in addition to the fact that I was using preset weight straight barbells which were 10 lb apart and the form which I did it with was not comfortable, after moving to dumbbells its infinitely more comfortable and I can make progress easier. Is this ok to you?
Also, I switched to seated hammer curls for more ROM but 5 lb less weight so I use the back less - is this ok? I still keep the dbell curls standing.
I've started using weight for pullups and rack chins last week, FINALLY. Also got to 190 bench for 3 sets, FINALLY.
I also took this yoga back strengthening class and my back feels better now, gonna fix my posture permanently and work my core everytime so I have no issues.
Remember like 3 months ago you told me to use a closer grip on the push press? And when I did that I saw gains, or maybe it was just mentally boosting me. But now that you saw my form on the push press and how I incorrectly rack it in the starting position, if I have it on my clavicle or whatever, shouldn't my grip be way wider? I'm looking at other push press videos and people seem to have a wider grip.
Well, I'm not deviating from my core lifts or anything, I'm just trying to make sure my lower abs/lower back are strong so I don't injure myself again. I'm gonna start doing that thing religiously, every fucking day.... unless you think that isn't a good idea. I want a crazy strong core.
random kettlebell exercises ( turkish getup, or halfassed attempt at it), kettlebell swings, oblique weight exercises, medicine ball decline situps, heavybag - do you recommend any kettlebell shit I can do to add into my exercises? just to change things around once in awhile.
btw, i got a fucking blender now and finally i can make **real** fucking shakes.
I think one thing I'm not doing right on push press is having the barbell rest on shoulder/clavicle - I'm doing it the crossfit way and just using my hands. Am I not squatting deep enough, or exploding up fast enough? It is 150 lbs, after all.
Also, do you remember that stretch you told me and cp3 to do? The psoas stretch where you extend the back leg, whatever.. can you re-link to that video, for the last last time? I think I've been doing it right but just wanna double check.
Today wasn't my hang clean day but I just wanted to show the form just to give you an idea. When it's actually hang clean day, I'll try to get more footage, and footage from different angles ( front / front side view ) instead of just side.
another question, what if one day im about to do a workout and i notice something is off, like my core, potentially from another workout from the previous day or X days ago, would you say that's a good excuse to either wear a belt when doing core lifts like squat/hang cleans, just for that day, or skip the day altogether?
i saw your video of doing hang cleans from the pins/rack. is that just an assistant to regular hang cleans, or can you totally substitute hang cleans with that?
i will upload my damn hang clean video sometime this week..
what do you think about the guy doing it in this video? on-point form?
