Intra workout jelly babies - I remembered this time. Also ordered some voodoo intra workout stuff (cyclic dextrin and hydrolysed whey) to try some sort of semi proper intra workout nutrition.
That sucked so much, got some sweat/bar friction burn across my traps and rear delts. I thought post 170 (which was way harder than I wanted it to be) that 135 would be so easy, well at least not feel crazy heavy, honestly felt as heavy as 170. Did the work anyway.

With how the N95 masks work it’s not a case of the larger the particle the easier it is to stop so just because it cannot stop a particle bigger than COVID-19 doesn’t mean it can’t stop COVID-19. If you’re interested there’s a good video on YouTube called like how N95 masks work.
However, I have no idea if they can stop COVID, I just thought it was interesting how they worked and wanted to share.

Any info on their life cycle? Is it really only 30ish minutes?
I need video proof of these.

power cleans before box squats . . . interesting . . .
Haha don’t make me film myself I probably look like a seal being clubbed!
Explosive movement, opening up the hips and working on extension, at least that’s the theory whether it’s the right movement for the task I don’t know, really lacked explosiveness today until about 4th or 5th set

I did squat jumps when I tried to copy his training. I didn’t last very long. I like power cleans for just about anything, though.
Problem for me is height of roof and floor space, jumping either vertical or horizontally will lead to pain!
Power cleans seemed to work well first time round but just took a while to get into the groove this time, I think fatigue is potentially the difference there.
14.9 - 205lbs morning post porcelain throne oblations.
Going to log cals and weight here to see the trend.

I have the same problem, but I have a side door close to my setup. I went outside to jump.
Yea I could definitely work around it, mostly just laziness.
What’s your thoughts on power cleans for explosive movement, I’m keeping both reps and weight relatively low, I obviously don’t want to be grinding but should I be aiming to up weight and/or reps?
For your purposes, keep it light and focus on speed. If the bar is dropping onto your arms/throat because you’re pulling it too high then add weight.
The research I’ve seen on developing power suggested that you train with about 70% of your max. The heavier loads get too slow.
Brian’s videos suggest that the powerclean is less to train explosiveness, as to prepare the body to lift explosively. Since you’re doing Dark Horse, I would imagine the “training for explosiveness” comes from your EMOM sets.
True, subtle but important difference.

Yea that was along my thinking, just hard to battle the urge to go heavier with everything!
