Notes
Oh man i was all sorts of messed up squatting, just not recovered from last squat sesh. DId a very maxy 130kg single and noped out of lighter sets of 110kg and even 100kg. Had a thought to try front squats and i must say it was like finding love at first sight. I remembered how much i loved this exercise .. funny i havent done then in years but i had good form so somehow i must have got some permanent adaptations from my previous stints of the exercise. I did put 100kg on the bar for a final set but had to rerack it twice, first time cos my forearm was cramping (lol) and the 2nd because it felt heavy and challenging to rack. THe only reason i thought to do FS though, was Pendlay suggetsing if you can't FS/BS a good amount, you're going to be a shit power presser. . so..
oh and i did try doing power presses with a FS rack .. i just dont get how you go from a FS grip to a OHP grip during the rep? And then how do you reset while bringing the weight down while simulatneously bouncing into a catch? Shit feels weird .. i dont think i will be able to lift as much with this new setup .. so the claims of a mechanical advantage seem rather dubious. I need a coach or someone who knows what im talking about here ://

It's interesting how every body is built differently. What you describe as this heavy feeling @ 158lbs sets in for me at 215lbs+ ... there is no way I could get below 170lbs without going on starvation mode. I think I would feel the best for running/jumping at 185-190lbs but for olympic lifting 210-215lbs feels just right.
Maybe I'll switch up my training at one point to achieve that 40'' (running) jump... we'll see. It's somewhat reassuring to still jump around 32'' at this bw without any focused jump training.
+1 bodies are fascinating. i've literally never felt heavy in the way y'all are describing. my adult weight has stayed within a range of 15 pounds at the most extreme (as low as 165 when i've been sick or adjusted to a completely new living environment and routine, and as high as 180 when i was doing starting strength), and generally within five pounds/2kg (171-176 or so).
