^^ congrats!

So I've got myself a bike that I'll be using for commuting (7 miles each way atm) and perhaps for longer rides on weekends.

How will this effect my strength/power training and what can I do to minimise negative effects?

Obviously my calorie intake will have to increase and I'll have to stretch more.

Anybody else cycle + strength train?

Maybe soon I'll look like this

What's the deal with the knee pain?

Have any ideas what it is?

No MRI unfortunately.

I was told at least ant talo fib was gone from assesment, my ankle was black all over and after weeks in immobilisation it came out as thin as my wrist. Rig was in my basketball dream days though so I was super in it with rehab.

Did have and still do to a slight extent have some problems with bone spurs etc, but they just limit dorsiflexion a bit which cam be fixed/gotten around. It's actually stronger than my left ankle now, but I still wear braces all the time when playing basketball. Also mentally it turned me into a little bitch so I never drive hard anymore.

Prob lost loads of GAINZ

Worth it

A mid hang clean would start around the knees, and you'd then have a first pull to the thigh, then a second pull to explode at mid thigh, and then a third pull of your own body under the bar.

You can have high hang cleans which start at the point where you'd jump from and explode from here but they're much harder....I feel like this is sort of what you're doing?

Anyway yeah IT gets confusing talking about number of pulls etc! But basically I think you're right about over correcting the low position.

The first lift here is how I would do a hang power clean, just to make sure we're talking about the same thing!

I guessed that haha, where about's, still down south?

Injury update : over 90% today, 

Nutrition update : it is going good, didn't miss a single day, worse performance was -150 on a deficit day. Still tweaking it, gotta lessen lunch cabs.

And some screenshots from Saturday:

the first photo, in the clean sequences..is that your 'power''jumping''exploding' position? it's hard to tell from photos..but it looks like you could be using your arms a little bit too much?
