A question for power snatch-- Is it possible to power snatch for example 135 lbs, but not be able to shoulder press 135 lbs?  Because isn't the power snatch a combination of a deadlift, hang clean, and should press?

lol'd in real life.

boss athleticism. the original reason i wanted to dunk was to be able to fly like guys like this during games. obviously my training has taken on a life of its own now. (photos locked so i can't embed. 'cept the one at the bottom.)

i'm pretty sure this is josh ziperstein. another pick of him at bottom, making a catch over the guy from earlier in the thread who jumps over a guy: http://www.ultiphotos.com/usau/2012/usopen/tophighlights/h1c9212f4#h842eb78

Well you should tell that to Off The Mark Rippetoe. He think the lean mass gains in his kid were, to quote, "muscular bodyweight". Are you suggesting he doesn't know what he's talking about?

i should let jc answer this himself, but, YES.

So my spike reach went from 336cm to 344cm. First actual PR in 8 months. 8cm straight up. I now have an 89cm RVJ (35") and much work ahead. Next goal is 350cm spike reach or 37-38" RVJ.

Point of thread: Having not PR'd in 8 months is tough but if you keep at it, it will happen.

you should do what people have been telling you to do. do 3 x 5 with a very manageable amount of weight. patiently add to the amount you use on your work sets over a period of weeks and months. eventually, if you lift well, eat right, get enough sleep, etc., you will reach and pass PRs.

you can use 3 x 5 for other lifts, too. it's not a magic number, it's just a nice, basic starting point for big compound lifts.

10+3+3+3 refers to a rest-pause set. that means i took a weight i could do for a set of maybe 12 or 13 on a good day. i did 10 reps with it, then unracked the weight. then i took 5-7 breaths, picked the weight up again, and did a set of 3. repeated the "unrack, breathe, new set" two more times. so i did a total of 19 reps. obviously, with pull ups, unracking the weight means letting go of the bar.

BW = 171.5  :uhhhfacepalm:
SORENESS = hamstrings
ACHES/INJURIES = left side of head (during squats), left elbow (after squats)
FATIGUE = moderate

- warm up

- depth jump 3 x 3
high, good. last set in sock feet.

- MR half tuck 3 x 25

- squat 305 x 5,3,0
motherfucker. i should not try to set PR's on mondays. i don't eat enough on weekends. first set of 5 was challenging but i got all the reps without much grinding, even on the fifth. but my head started to hurt even during warm ups. my friend suggested it might be a trigger point in my shoulder that the bar was pressing on. she dug her elbow into my shoulder and, yep, seems that's it. did not rest long enough before the second set, failed on fourth rep. was too psyched out by the third set, despite extra rest, so i unracked, tried to start a rep, gave up, and reracked. better luck next time.

- pull up x 10+3+3+3

- lacrosse ball and PVC pipe work around shoulders and neck. elbow uncomfortable, dips not worth it.

- SS1: pull down x 15,10,10
- SS1: hyperextension +5 x 10,10,10
- SS1 info: switched to black band for second and third set of pull downs. it's too thick, i don't even think i'm heavy enough to keep it down. will try blue band next time. green is easy now.

- stretch

i'm actually not that pissed. i have something concrete to work on for the squats -- loosening that trigger point in my left shoulder -- and the 305 x 5 either ties or exceeds my 5-rep PR. now to eat.

think i'm gonna get some creatine and see whether it helps.

BW = ???
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = left toe, brain
FATIGUE = low

- warm up

- depth jump 2 x 3
higher box, ~20"

- squat 300 x 5,5,4
could have gotten last rep but it would have been grindy and my brain felt like it was going to explode. made reps were pretty easy. will go to 305 next workout. if i keep eating right i should be at 3 plates by the end of this coming week. that'd be a PR.

- stretch

going to eat lunch now and then spend the afternoon chainsawing and chopping up some trees with my dad. left off upper body and core stuff for that reason.

ETA:

- chainsaw and ax work x 3 hours

fuck yeah. my hands are sore today.
