Yeah, I’d love to give cleans a try, but my university gym jumps on your ass if you do anything they see as an Oly Lift, even power variations, they say it’s bound to ruin the weights. Maybe during the summer, when I’m at my gym with a platform and bumper plates, I’ll give them a shot. And I LOVE HFS. Lifting has never come easy to me, and in my time training, haven’t made a lot of progress. Doing this program, is not only the most fun I’ve had lifting, but has kind of ‘taught’ me how to lift. FOr the first time ever, I’m semi-explosive, which is crazy too me. lol
Yeah, I always wished I had been short growing up, and been taught to be a point THEN gotten my growth spurt. Sadly, I was always taller then average, so I got taught post moves and was told to NEVER dribble. Now in college, at 6’2", the post players I end up going against are like 6’5-9", so I wish had been taught to be a guard early on. lol.
Do your injuries prevent you from playing too often, just due to the pain?? Or like are you just not suppose to be playing a lot in order to not re-injure yourself? Here’s the link to my log. I’m horribly weak, so sorry for the non-impressive numbers, but they are creeping up slowly.
Dude, just never drop the bar. I do hang cleans with the super gay hexagon plates, so I’ll do whatever reps I’m doing, never let go of the bar and when I finish the set I just rack it. I’d kill for some bumper plates, but you don’t need 'em.
Haha, it’s never too late to develop your handle man. Just got to stay on top of it. There are all kinds of drills you can do to get more comfortable with the ball.
Yeah, my left knee acts up if I play too consistently, though I’m at the point now where it’s not killin’ me just sitting here so it’s making progress. Glad you’re enjoying your training bud. Don’t worry about your numbers. They’ll get where you want 'em in no time. Just be patient and consistent. I’m dying to get my #'s back up, just gotta tak my own advice.[/quote]
That’s the thing. Apparently people USE to drop the bar, so you aren’t allowed to clean with any variation. Saw a guy doing clean and presses, told him he could press, but the ‘action’ of OLY lifting wasn’t allowed. I couldn’t believe it.
You got any good drills? Handles are def the biggest hole in my game.
