Translation:

I don't care about what alcohol does to my liver, just what some medicine does to it.

Of course you have to hold it snatch-grip wide for the bar to rest at the hip crease. That's what the snatch grip IS for.

The jumping position in the clean is much lower than the hip crease, kinda in the middle of the femur or even lower, just above the knees.

How about not having hangovers? It helps!

You should film the cleans and see what happens.

So you don't to hang cleans?

Anyway, can you film the cable stuff that you're doing?

Drink tons of water the next day after you drink too much alcohol.

I never gotten drunk in my life. Don't see the point of it.

thanks for the advice, bro. :derp:

I know that point from a anathomy/physiology course that I've taken... for example the head pain you get after getting drunk is not the neurons, it's the glial cells/the blood vessels that generate it. And that is from the dehydration that that much alcohol did.

To me... the thing about entropy was never about strength, it was about "nerve". Like I've said it over and over again... whenever he does stuff on the field I'm like "is this guy going to get to bed in the next few seconds to sleep or something?"

Meaning - he looks like he has NO desire to jump, run, do explosive stuff. Just put a bar on his back and move it with slow speeds, that's all he cares about.

That's the impression I personally get from him. So... IMO, the best possible thing for him, by far, would be to do as fast movements as possible - beginning with sprinting and going with multi-response jumps like hurdle jumps etc. I have to emphasize the multi-response thing because I believe that if he'd go with single-response stuff he'd be as slow and lazy looking as he's always been.

I don't get how in the world he thinks he should continue with this slow lifting and training when he's not able to express in quick manner even a decent amount of percentage from the power that his strength says he should be capable of producing.

So when the heck do you rest? If I would do what you're doing, you can bet your top money my squatting strength would go down lightning fast.

That is true Vag, he does present himself as failure prone often when in reality that isn't the case at all. I'd like to emphasize what raptor said in his post 'it wont be displayed In the gym, but on the field'. THAT'S an athletes response. He doesn't 'care' if he's 'beasting in the weight room as long as he's being a monster on his choice of field.

Honestly, it sounds like Entropy is inching closer towards my original point number 1. He's sounding like more of a power lifter than an athlete (not that power lifters aren't athletes but you see what im saying?). And let's face it, not many guys can do both simultaneously.

This is 100% correct. We tend to move from a skinny basketball player to a fat powerlifter if you allow ourselves to think "squat strength is all that matters" and we only care about benchmarking that.

In my opinion, you should start with bulgarian split squats for a while, starting the set with the weak leg first, and then after the weak leg catches up in time in terms of strength, you can move to bilateral squats etc.

So I'd start with bodyweight BSSs, with the injured leg. Say you manage to do 9 reps. Do the same 9 reps with the healthy leg. And so on and so forth, until they become at least close in terms of strength.

Then you can move to bilateral stuff. Just make sure you do every rep with perfect form.
