No real wrong way to do it. I don’t use that style, but many folks do.

I did not look at technique videos to be honest. This is how I did it:

You see that I am trying to one motion it. You can obviously just pause and press.

Also keg clean and press are the shit. I liked them in a way.

I’m absolutely terrible at Keg C&P, But Kalle Beck’s video is a prety good one

Don’t forget to start throwing the suckers too, just to freak out the neighbours.

Havent really been active in my log so will try update every once in a while on whats happening. Went and stayed with my nanna, then with my mum and sister for a bit. Going to stay at my best mates house for a few days on saturday for his 16th birthday on monday.

Was off to a shitty start but holidays have improved with recent events such as escaping dads and spending time with family, Motorbike riding, partying and soon to come my best mates birthday.

Hope everyone is doing good and training is going well peace out :v:

Update- i wasnt planning on updating so soon but shit went down.

Today was my best mates birthday and i was staying at his for a bit.

My dad totally fucked it. Without telling me he was going to do so he came and took me from my mates house. Which is totally fucked because he knew it was his birthday but came anyway.

Lots of shit went down after that ( including me jumping out of the car and running off but then my dad nearly hit me with his car and i was spent from running in the heat so he caught me). After that he went to the bottle shop and bought alcohol and was drink driving. Hed already been drinking what the fuck. but eventually got to dads house.

Anyway more fucked up shit happened and me and dad got into a fight. Hes 6’4 and strong. He grappled me then choked me in a chokehold and i had one arm free so i kept punching into his back but that did stuff all. He let go eventually and went away.

He returned later and this time put his arms around my neck and chest and started dragging me towards the house. I tried escaping but that just made it worse and he elbowed me in the side of the head then he let me go. I went and hid in the shed and got a bunch of weapons incase he came back.

I called the cops and they came and got me and now im at the police station waiting to be picked up.

A big massive thank you shoutout to police officers- the police officer was at his home with his family and has to come in just to deal with this shit even though his shift ended.

Anyways. Fuck! guys im a bit rattled and my head hurts but im trying to not have a breakdown. Il be okay.

@duketheslaya Hey man, Ive been through the same thing with my father many times before. I made it out alright, you’ll pull through, keep your head up.

Im sorry to hear that man. if you can get through it then so can i like you said. Thanks dude.

I really believe that you can and it’s alright to be angry and upset. Just don’t let that anger affect your daily life. Find an outlet for it, whether that’s weightlifting, working, a therapist, venting on here. If one doesn’t do it, try em all. You’re still young, you’ll figure out what works and what doesn’t. Youll move on and everything will be all good. Also, drinking isnt a good coping mechanism, trust me. Your situation is scary similar to what mine was like, so if you want to talk more let me know.
