Oi, I pick you up on thursday. we settle the website stuff..get something done by this month la.

Okai

Wednesday Workout

Power snatched up to 40-50KG for about 6-7 times.
Squat snatched 60KG for 5
Upped to 65KG and felt much more stable surprisingly....I stopped thinking that I had to slide it up my thighs real quick, I just reminded myself, to explode the moment the bar touched my hip and catch with my head facing forward.

That's helped quite a bit. Kept my back tense and cranked it hard the moment I lifted off the ground.

Up to 70KG for a few reps and felt more and more solid. Looks like I'll be touching my 100KG faster than I thought.

Pulled 100KG pretty dammed high as well.....I'll upload a video later.

Snatched 40KG for a few reps, squat snatched 60KG for about 6 reps or so....70KG for two singles, 72KG for a single.....
80KG saw a PR, but I missed the first lift from dropping it backwards. I wasn't even trying hard to tie it anyway.
80Kg the second time saw it much better, but I rushed to get up when the bar was moving forward. Managed to stand but didn't get to keep the feet close.

And naturally.....cameras misfire and skip when you get a PR. Fcuk.

Snatched 60KG for a few reps again, and suddenly power snatched it. Strange....it became easier to power snatch it as I learned to squat snatch

Did a few sets of front squats, 3-4 @ 90KG for about 5-6 reps...went really light as I was still hyped about my snatch success
Great stuff. Will be looking to snatch 90KG within this 1 1/2 months.

Probably will hit 100KG snatch within this year, and a 140KG clean and jerk

Oh and surprisingly......bodyfat seems to have dropped....

Nice snatch

so nice that u people can throw the bar and plates around in the gym like that..

pizzaboy or anyone, i have questions regarding proper form of squats. It seems that when i do squats of about shoulder's width, there is stress being put on the knees area. Another thing i would like to ask is how to keep the knees behind the toes? I cant do so, probably my balancing is way off. Btw, i'm squatting with body weight only. 57kg. Could it be because of my legs are weak that is why i am experiencing these problems.? Any advice?

I swear I could write an article about the stupidity of the theory of knees behind toes. It's the most fcuking stupid theory that man can make about the mechanical structure and systems of the human body.

Foolish bastards.

I wrote this article months ago about how to squat.
http://lifthard.com/2007/11/09/squatting/

Try to read it.

TO learn the squat;

I stand strong in agreement with my coach on this one. The best way to learn to squat, is load the bar with 30KG's of weights, and do overhead squats for 10 reps, for about 4-5 sets.

There cannot be a better way to teach a deep, solid and build confidence in a lifter in squatting, than the overhead squat. Because the body cannot mess up, or it'll fall down when squatting, it'll learn to groove the body and ingrain neuro-muscular commands to do the squat right. And when you return to normal back squatting, it'll become extremely easy.

I squat about 160KG's for my tested max back squat, but I think I can hit 170KG's soon. And part of my improvement, I attribute to the overhead squat. The moment I could do overhead squats with 75KG's for 10 reps, that day itself I felt all solid at the right places, and flexible at the right places. It was like, seeing the light.

Thanks for the advice. After trying with the toe angled outwards, much lesser stress being put on my knees.

Well i'm just trying do some squats without the bar coz my form itself is already bad. Terima kasih pizzaboy.

Unfortunately, you're not going to learn the proper way of squatting, without the bar. The bar also has weight, and will teach your body how to learn forward and backwards. Despite the front and back squat, being about the same in movements, the mechanics and bodyparts involved are rather different. In fact, you'll find that many back squatters, cannot front squat half as well as they'd think they could the first time.

So my suggestion, is at least squat with an empty stick, above your head. Do an overhead squat with an empty stick. Please.

Hey pizzaboy, what's the name of that pullup video you posted some time ago? It had a half naked, masked dude doing pullups, outdoors.

For the life of me, I can't remember the name at all. Thanks.

Mango muscle up

Dude, can help me find a back that's caved in, because the person did too much bench press and no emphasis on the back. thanks man.

I've no idea what you're talking about.

Pizzaboy!! you're the best. Even though I have no questions for you, I read and love your replies. You da man!!!!! Anyway I got a question to shoot, those large exersice balls .. are they good for hoe usage?

Aiya...... simple english also you dont understand.... He's saying... he wants you to find him a donor for a back thats not caved in to replace the one he has now that has not received much back training because the previous owner of the back he is using only did bench presses

Wooooooooo this is ur brain on Lipo-6
