stretching by performing movements similiar to the movement you will be performing. Squats, overhead presses, light jerks, drop cleans etc...

yea, the worst part for me is the flat back. When I deadlift I can go really friggin heavy and keep my spine perfectly flat. But, with the O-lifts I round out sometimes because I get anxious to drop under the bar or to go to my shrug etc...there are so many components of the lift that I have to think about I get nervous.

Jeez man you are impatient. I posted my workout and had to run out to take care of some stuff. Here is the video of my clean and Jerk. I don't have to drop much into a front squat because the weight is still pretty light to me (this is the 195). I move the bar fast from the floor and get a good pull on it. If you watch also when I jerk you can catch something funny. It you have quicktime to play it with it is best because you can fast forward really slowly if you hold down your left click on the tracker on the quick time window. I caught my clean really close into my throat. When I went to jerk it you will see my head shoot backwards. That isn't supposed to happen. I should be looking straight ahead the entire time. The only reason it happened was because I caught myself on the bottom of the chin with the bar during my jerk. LOL. It hurt! My training partner has chipped his tooth twice doing jerks.

clean and jerk

lol pfunk, i was just messin around..i wasnt mad. I cant even see you're video yet (too many users downloading file)

Seanp156 · 06-26-2005, 09:25 PM

With that many users downloading, it looks like P-Funk is the next male internet porn star

.

shiznit2169 · 06-26-2005, 09:27 PM

lol p, you're face was priceless after the bar hit your chin. Ouch!

However, that wasnt bad. Even though it was lightweight, it was still pretty good form regardless of the chin part. I never knew they had green plates? wtf ive only seen black or grey plates in my whole life. wow

But anyways, who doesnt wanna see a big guy with his nasty bandanna and hammer strength shirt puttin up big numbers?

Whats the name of the gym you go to? It looks like you guys have a lot of room for your own space to do olympic training and deadlifts. At my gym where the rack is, there isnt much room at all and it's so close to all the machines. Ill try to get a picture of what it looks like someday but it pisses me off that we cannot slam the weights after doing deadlifts or id be in trouble.

Seanp156 · 06-26-2005, 09:29 PM

How'd you download it? It's still too busy for me...

shiznit2169 · 06-26-2005, 09:30 PM

just keep refreshing the page sean, eventually it will work.

Those are bumper plates, there for oly lifting. There rubber soo you can drop them and they wont break and don't make as much noise.

**P-funk** · 06-27-2005, 04:09 AM

lol, we have no room at the gym!!! I did that standing inbetween the decline and incline bench. If someone is Benching and I miss a lift it is pretty much going to end up in their lap. No pressure. Anyway, I will try and get some better video of a real clean since that weight was light enough for me to just power clean it with out squat cleaning. I will post more video as time goes on.

PreMier · 06-27-2005, 09:22 AM

Nice clean and jerk. What would you say your est. 1RM is?

**IainDaniel** · 06-27-2005, 10:01 AM

Cool Video. You made it look pretty easy, other than whacking your Chin

**P-funk** · 06-27-2005, 02:08 PM

Thanks Ian.

P- I don't know what my 1RM is since my form is so bad. I sent the link and a few of my snatches and my 205lb jerk to my buddy and he calls me and says "Damn, the bar was moving really fast. Your form sucks. But you were really quick off the floor." He gave me some pointers. He and another friend of mine are training for the state championship next month and they are part of an olympic lifting team out on long island. They told me to come out there this sunday to lift with them. They told the coach I am coming and he said he would try to devote and hour of his time to my training. I think they need lifters in my weight class for their team so hopefully I will get to lift out there every sunday if I can. The thing that sucks is that I can shrug well over 300lbs with a hook grip. I can deadlift over 400lbs with the hook grip. I can front squat near 300lbs in the rack position. I just have to get all of them to work together and I will have a decent lift.

Upper body day.

There was three of us today so RI was you go, you go, I go. My one friend had not trained with us in months so it was cool to have him back. During the Push presses he looked at my other friend and was like "so how the hell does patty work these days? You put more weight on the bar and he just gets stronger instead of getting weaker!" hahah. then he asked me what I weigh now and I said I weighed 177 this AM. He was like "Man, that scale downstairs is 4lbs heavy I think too!!" I was like "No way! I am 174??" hahahha. We were laughing. He was like "Who cares, you look good and you are stronger than ever. Screw it."

NASM. I think I will take my CSCS test in Dec.

GSXR750 · 06-27-2005, 09:32 PM

Good luck. NASM is a bit more expensive than others for CPT.

Manhattan is NYC, all the way south in the state. Rochester is all the way north on the lake. About 5 hours I believe.
