If you can do 180 and need to sweat with 120 at times,then I would guess you have a problem. I don’t think that’s normal at all. Perhaps you went at it insufficiently recovered. I can listen to my body. I can distinguish between moderate heavy and a maximum effort.

that sounds pretty normal to me. i experience the same thing myself, and i know the others i train with do as well. while insufficient recovery might sometimes play a role, there are many other factors involved too.

A 400 clean is not beyond me anymore.
This might help as inspiration.
i just saw this other post you made yesterday. do you mean that we are to believe that you weight 185, are 5’ 11, train primarily using odd objects (often on one leg) AND can clean 400 lbs?
is your name Hancock by any chance?
Ohhhhhh shit. Nice catch.
I remember seeing that post about a 400lb clean in the 500lb deadlift thread and being skeptical alright.
I was that weight. I’m around 220 (see profile). Still skeptical? I can try to get video footage.[/quote]
what makes it hard to believe is not your weight (well ok, that makes it hard to believe too), its your supposed training style. to go from being an untrained skinny guy to capable of cleaning 400lbs in 2 years would be phenomenal progress for anyone, let alone someone mostly using odd lifts.
really, when i add it all up together in my head, it just don’t add up.

How do you use correct form on an odd lift?
Correct form by what standards? As long as the joint angles one goes through are similar,what is the difference? I suppose you could have assumed that it is not even possible,but that is not the case. [/quote]
You can really mess up joints like that. If your not careful that is.
And to your response earlier, It just seems to me like it would make more sence (and you would progress faster) if you knew exactly what you were lifting. But hey, as long as your technique is safe. and your not a risk of injury, I guess…go for it.

I hear Pyrros Dimas spent most of his training lifting tables and bed frames. While hopping on a treadmill. On one leg. On a stability ball.

Let’s not forget: he was supplementing with NO Xplode and using tourniquet training
