no, not as bad. lifting a weight to your shoulders with wack form is fine, do whatever you want. just don't then call it a clean. it's not a clean. people lifting atlas stones are just doing it.

lots of people squat with high intensity twice a week without developing injuries, so it's probably not that by itself.
otherwise, i know fuckall about this so i'm not going to recommend anything.

cutting carbs causes water weight loss, so that you've been drinking the same amount doesn't really matter. 4L seems like a lot, btw.

well, your upper body is way out in front of your lower body so maybe it's for the best.

WEIGHT: 179.5
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: bigass knot in left upper back, just inside my shoulder blade about level with the point of my scap
MENTAL STATE: tired, kind of out of it. i got sick on sunday and am still a bit under the weather. took longer than usual to get over the jet lag, too.
- warm up
- depth jump x 2,2,2
yyyyyikes.
- SVJ x 8
yyyyyikes. last jump best at about 25", but these just felt very slow.
- squat 255 x 5,5
easy, but not as easy as it should have been
- OHP 95 x 10+3+3+3+3
- pull up x 10+3+3+3 (+3)
couldn't remember whether i'd done all four drop sets so i did a set of 3 later just in case
- SS1: ab roll out x 10/band pull down x 20
- SS1: paused leg press calf raise 345 x 20,15,15
- SS1 info: 3.5 rounds, 30-90s between exercises
- stretch
not a full session: a friend rolled in who i haven't seen in a while and who might be moving away soon so we chatted for a bit and then i had to go to the grocery store before it closed.

Basketball / Re: A WHOLE BUNCH OF DUNKS AND SHIT.
« on: January 22, 2013, 02:43:52 pm »
my roommate went to high school with jordan kent. his dad is the former head coach of u of o's men's basketball team. he's one of those ridiculous freak athletes: he was oregon's high school champ in the 100, 200, 400, and long jump. he was a three-sport athlete at oregon and made the football team there despite never having played organized football before. decided he liked that so tried to be an nfl player for a while but never got above marginal status. damn shame, he could probably have played pro basketball (at least in europe if not here) or run pro track if he'd stuck with either of those.
apparently he's a nice guy.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Weightlifting shoes
« on: January 22, 2013, 10:18:13 am »By the way - I've seen some people say that o-lift shoes make your deadlift harder. I find that hard to believe. One of my main culprits in the deadlift is not being able to sink to the heels, and the other is the lack of flexibility to get down. These should be solved by the lifting shoes.
Also, all the o-lifts start with a deadlift at Olympic lifting competitions so... if they really made the deadlift part worse, wouldn't they stop using them? I know that maybe they'd sacrifice some deadlift strength for a better catch etc, but really?
first pull of a dead lift and first pull of a clean and jerk or a snatch are different lifts.
whether you like oly shoes for DL or not is a matter of preference but i don't like them because you can't sit back as much at the bottom

fwiw charlie francis was a big proponent of lower back strength as key to fast sprinting. i think it's in "speed trap" where he describes ben johnson's erector spinae as "the size of a man's forearm."
