how could I have loved all that time doing it

sometimes I feel like the tiniest saddest super jock
who didn’t get bling’ for christmas and only got stitches and tape.

that being said the ice, KT tape , pvc pipe and hundreds of advils I feast on
the hours of mobility- somehow that 15 seconds under the bar is glorious.

and shit what else would I do.

ain’t that the truth!

and you forgot “the foxiest” sad super jock :wink:

Glad you and the family got out of the city safe. good idea to get out of the city!

And btw, snatch grip on those DLs is pro. Excellent job!

764

those vids were gold. i enjoyed them very much. TKE looks really helpful for my hip…

I do wonder, though, why he doesn’t use it as a progression to a pistol. he said something about stopping with the height of the box - but i wondered why he didn’t use it to progress to a full ATG one legged squat…

765

hey people thanks just dropping a little bonmot-

been stressed from the flood/hurricane thing
frigging long as day of tennis with Alexuse people from austrailia

Maschy awww. you know how to make a shorty blush.

Lexie- spent all day with your mates.
Aussie sports tv people.

and Lexie the reason the TKE -doesnt progress to a full on pistol-

TKE- targeting VMO activation.
and restoration of the knees ability to extend in certain range of movement

he also talked about doing these for 2 to 3 sets of high volume in the 2 to 30 rep range
much different kind of work then an atg pistol which most can only manage a few if any

I can do them - they are another animal altogether.
Pistols are for people with strong knees and VMO not exactly for rehabbers yet.

going to try to train tomorrow

766

That TKE looks like just the thing for those of us with knees that are shit from other sports.

767

Joe- TKE is indeed just the ticket for old farts knees

sorry to not have any presence here - trying to catch up with all you people.

8.30.11 lower

pvc and ball and drills at home

a million peterson step ups or heel touches.

face pulls, HLR feet to face 3x10

Notes

octagon plates fucking suck
they robbed me of pounds and reps
they totally helicopter all over.

pulls felt ok- swore that 365 was going got up to the knees and my right leg started to shake
meh.
stiff legged deficit things - not as strong as last week but still ok

cleans wanted to play with the bumpers, and did some caught most of them in a half squat.

other junk- is other junk
the TKE and pull thrus really sent allot of warmth in the knee area

think I need to take a few weeks of from any kind of squat
and let this knee recoupe a bit

edit-
I pulled these mixed grip laying low on hook grip my hands are killing me from work.

weighed 187 in gym clothes and olympic shoes lame

768

Finally got a chance to watch those EFS videos, would love to spend a few days with Buddy guy knows his stuff, thanks for sharing.
187lbs lame? Are you trying to gain or lose weight?

769

HEY!!!
I’m not an old fart(yet!)

Sensible man.

771

I typed 365 on deeds should be 465 that I bombed on

Dday I like my sie to athleticism range while not actively trying to get bigger,
I have, any time weight drops to something low to 180 and under I’m too run down.

MinM you AR right they are great for Milf knees too

FB thanks, my cleans are horrible…I try to just catch Lower but it’s in the standing catch for the most part

Just practice a full squat after you ath if you don’t catch in the squat

772

Id like to give a big FUCK YOU at 465 as well, Im stuck on 455 and outweigh you by 50lbs…god Im awful at the DL…that says to me Im a big weak bastard…you on the other hand are one strong bastard…

Its funny who we compare ourselves to, in my commercial there may be 1 or 2 guys in addition to me that DL 4 plates or over…and people watch and consider it some feat of strength. The fact is I should be DLing 5plates w no problem…and I believe you will get there soon and I will still be floundering…

I cant tell you how frustrated I am at that lift…my confidence is shot.

773

i can catch cleans but i sure as hell can’t stand them up.

i tried that TKE thing and was surprised at how wobbly my hip, knee, and ankle were. i think it might be good for promoting hip stability, too. at least that seems to play a role in my wobbling. great find, thanks for posting it.

774

Hey Kmac!

Random question - I’m going to start pulling everything in snatch grip (I wanna be boss like you!) and I’m assuming that my grip won’t be able to keep up with my DLs (maybe a lofty assumption here, but a girl can dream).

Anyways, I’ve never seen anyone do it, but do people ever DL with wrist straps? Would there be any problems to pulling with straps? Do you think doing so would hinder my Oly skillz?

My logic is this - pulling in snatch grip, good for Oly. Using wrist straps, not good for grip strength overall. Thoughts?

And yes, octagon plates blow goats!

Take care of that knee!

775

Matty- yes fuck 465 woot!

if you ask big PeteS its all about the teen anger and black t-shirts.
for somebody incline 315 and OH pressing more then I can bench- and OH pressing 100lb Db’s I think your fine!

maybe its a force thing- how to apply force- all my ‘lifting’ that was ever supervised
was about moving shit fast

Lexie- glad you like the video, I will tell you a secret- it all travels together-
knee ankle hip shoulder- all combine for good or evil

Maschy hey !

Hmmm this week except for cleans I pulled mixed grip- hands are beat up.
when you say snatch grip- do you mean to Hook- like you do for the Olifts?
or snatch width?
either are great for grip.
Ouroboro posted in her log her speaking with an acquaintance who is also moving to all hook grip.
he is a PL type who competes and is starting to pull in think in the 600’s hook grip.

straps are tough and fire up allot of arguments.

I am a guy with big hands, and my sports grip strength comes with the territory
personally I try to never ever use them- but recently when I am tired from work
or have other broken crap or my hands are just fatigued straps might be smart.

I did use them - before I lost them, doing High pulls or heavy jump shrugs
if you are Hook griping - using straps is hard-
if you are pulling snatch width straps are sometimes a hand saver

I think if you are doing Olifts- and you did some skill work
cleans , snatches, drop snatches, power jerks or what have you
straps are fine after that for Clean pulls, snatch pulls etc.

Marauder Meat does use straps on many of his dead lifts and he is a beast.
he feels that pulling super heavy dbl overhand with straps improves your grip.

Heavy Thrower, Carl Darby our O-lift Guru and FarmerB all pull heavy with straps
( and superb form I might say )

I think straps are OK for things that will crush your hands like snatch width high pulls
or just good to give the hands a rest.

damn girl - I just wrote a bunch of nonsense

training
it happened 9.1.11
morning training ok anything before 10 am is morning to me.

bought some KT tape and taped my ankle and just below the knee- pre-wrap might be better
for the jumpers knee- I dont feel like shaving my legs.
unless people ask nice.
I only saw this stuff in the last few years its kinda cool

upper mishmash-
pvc lx ball activation at home

face pull inner outer rotation HLR feet to face all 4x10

A clean to press bar x lots
65x8,65x8,95x2x5 135 full on cleans+press 3x3,155,3x3 185 5x1 no press

B1 zpress 95 2x5,105 2x5 115 2x5, 125 2x5 135 2x5
B2 ng pullup bw+25 10x5

C1 meadows swings 25 3x20
C2 javelin press 30x10 40x4x8 each
C3 seated cuff shit 15 3x 20

D1 weighted pushpup bw+45 3x10
D2 curlskis ezwiders 70 3x10

then I found the gym had a TRX
woot

I went a little silly did something like 5 rounds
TRX pushups x 10
TRX face pull 12

feet in hooks pushups 20** huge pumps
prone row things feet elevated 20

Notes-
ankle tape felt great- knee tape came undone this stuff only works if bare.
KT tape is good but expensive
cleans- just wanted to see how the knee ankle felt - they felt good.
I realize I do ALLOT of jumping- trap bar or DB jumps
broad jumps cleans hmmmm bad knee and ankle go figure

everything felt nice hard but nice.
pullups felt super good.
TRX - think I want to buy one now.

thanks for reading.
trying to lay low for labor day last weekend was stressful

776

nice work

777

Not nonesense!! Completely and totally awesome! Thank you, thank you!

And honestly, I’m not sure what I’m going to do, if its just going to be overhand or snatch width - I’ll probably employ both depending on the lift. But bottom line is I’m not planning on using mixed anymore.

And I love how I saw “I’ve never seen anyone use straps for DL” and half the club does. HAH! I’ll go check out these logs and see what’s up!

FML with TRX - such a masochist! Glad everything is feeling tip-top, my friend. Enjoy the weekend!!

778

Nice work over here kmc
