  Looks NEAT and DIFFERENT, definitely should make it a staple in your beginner program.

 A good thing to make sure you always do is, right when you start to get stronger and put on some muscle, get on the internet and search for new NEAT shit to do and add to your program.  That makes training WAYY more fun!
Relax.

Well, I'm not deviating from my core lifts or anything, I'm just trying to make sure my lower abs/lower back are strong so I don't injure myself again. I'm gonna start doing that thing religiously, every fucking day.... unless you think that isn't a good idea. I want a crazy strong core.

Lance,

Remember like 3 months ago you told me to use a closer grip on the push press? And when I did that I saw gains, or maybe it was just mentally boosting me. But now that you saw my form on the push press and how I incorrectly rack it in the starting position, if I have it on my clavicle or whatever, shouldn't my grip be way wider? I'm looking at other push press videos and people seem to have a wider grip.

 As long as its not interfering with your main lifts it will be fine, dont get carried away with the volume though.

 Push press grip for you should be no wider than a thumb length across on each side from the start of the rough part of the bar.
Relax.

I switched from barbell tricep reverse curls to dumbbell with a 'diamond' grip - I find this way more comfortable, in addition to the fact that I was using preset weight straight barbells which were 10 lb apart and the form which I did it with was not comfortable, after moving to dumbbells its infinitely more comfortable and I can make progress easier. Is this ok to you?

Also, I switched to seated hammer curls for more ROM but 5 lb less weight so I use the back less - is this ok? I still keep the dbell curls standing.

I've started using weight for pullups and rack chins last week, FINALLY. Also got to 190 bench for 3 sets, FINALLY.

I also took this yoga back strengthening class and my back feels better now, gonna fix my posture permanently and work my core everytime so I have no issues.

Another question, can you recommend another forearm exercise I can throw into my workout routine?

sledge levers, plate pinch singles, plate curl, thick bar deads.

Also good are false grip pullups and pull up hangs with hands over the bar in a fist like your flexing your forearms to hang and keep your hands over the pull up bar. I've tried this before, crazy forearm pumps when going for time.
Goal

windmill consistently/ touch top of the square consistently



weight= 193
height= 6'3 1/2
highest touch= top of the square, which is 11'4

Lance - when should I take creatine? morning? night? I usually take it in the morning, 1 spoon raw and gulp down some water afterwards. Should I avoid taking it after huge meals if I somehow forget to take it in the morning?

  Its not really going to make a huge difference either way, but I like to keep it around workouts, either pre or post, or both.
Relax.

Someone told me it's better to go with fat free milk post workout for shake because if there's fat, it'll be slower to provide protein to the muscle. Is this BS?

lol, nice one.

Another question, when I reinjured my lower back like 2 months ago, I had to take like 3 weeks off. I think I lost some lb or two from my ass. Is that possible?

No homo.

Lance,

I wanted to make a little adjustment but I want your opinion on this...

Do you think it would be a retarded idea to combine push press and cleans into just clean and jerk? When you combine push press and hang cleans that IS a clean and jerk, no?

Also - I wanted to emphasize a bit more on the upper body - chest/shoulders... do you think it makes any sense to do seated overhead press, or is it a waste of time because of push press? Only reason I ask is, obviously, you use the entire body and it's an explosive movement for the push press - whereas I think the shoulders are more focused on if it's a strict press.

In before you telling me not to change my plan because I'm making progress. Only reason I'm asking is cuz cp3 mentions seated overhead press being better than push press, or some shit.

In before cp3 reading this and mentioning it to me on IRC.

Another thing,

For hang cleans should I get straps? If so what brand?

Someone was doing olympic lifts and I asked them for push press tips, and they mentioned that the way I hold the bar was wrong, they were doing it more like the way you did it in your video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-xgHIEJBJ4

Where you hold the bar like a front squat and rely on your wrists holding it initially instead of gripping it, and the elbows are higher - in my video I'm not holding it like a front squat... I need to hold it like you do in that video and the turn over the arms to lock out...

Can you just verify the above is right?

I will try posting more vids this week or next.
