not massively high, but high enough to get under if i could front squat 140 back up. see i was the exact opposite, lots of hip hinging and neglected squats, hence my ridiculous power clean to full clean/deadlift to squat ratio! i am truly blessed with bars at my gym, a commercial gym with 8 elieko bars..ridiculous.

but yeah, no doubt you'll see massive carry over athletically from cleans and deads..especially if you already have that leg strength base from squats!

i hook most of the time out of habit now, and because im trying to build hook grip callusses.

If it's starting to effect your lift though it's probably time to start hook gripping?

and do you chalk up? chalk makes a huge difference.

Squat notes:
Nothing felt right today, too fucked up to squat properly. Basketball i love ya but you ruin me in the gym

Hang PC notes:
Just punching in the worksets. Dont feel like doing anything else. These were kinda hard but mainly because my grip was weak and i felt even 60kg challenging in my arms when i was doing my squat prehab stuff.

do you hook grip for PC?

hit a 122.5kg power clean today

not a massive PR only 2.5kg, but i missed this 5 times last week, got it 1st time today.

it also knocked the crossfit gym head coach out of 2nd place on the 1rm leaderboard for clean

Do you have any advice on how to improve my overhead squat (other than actually overhead squatting)?

better thoracic spine and shoulder mobility and stability.

This.

Shoulder dislocations w/ stick for shoulder mobility.
Thoracic extensions on roller for thoracic.
If your hip and ankle mobility is lacking these will also ruin it for you...but I'm sure you know how to fix these.

For stability
-snatch grip overhead press
-snatch grip behind head pull apart with rubber band, really squeezing traps hard, to make harder you can lie on floor and do this behind head too
-spots presses, and klokov 'deep squat barbell front raise to overhead'

Are pretty much what I've done and has helped me.

Huh?
