Good front squats, monkey.

**P-funk** · 10-19-2005, 08:31 PM

a box is my slang way of saying "pussy".

good workout. sit on those snatches man! keep the bar close.

I hate when I miss cleans I should make!! Pisses me off. So much technique in these lifts though that sometimes if it ain't there it ain't there.

good job on the front squat.

yellowmoomba · 10-20-2005, 09:13 AM

No matter... #'s will go up

because my back can pull alot more weight for a bunch more reps) -

work on squeezing your shuolder blades together realy tightly when overhead squatting. Think like you want to touch your hands to the back wall. Also, you may want to wrap your wrists for things like overhead squats and jerks from the rack since they will take a really bad beating with these exercises because you are doing reps and many sets.

the problem is technqiue. not strength.

**Mudge** · 10-22-2005, 01:33 PM

EliteFTS sells I believe an adjustable stool type unit for people who box squat, this way you can adjust it to the height you are doing that week.

The Monkey Man · 10-22-2005, 01:35 PM

Seemed like a stamina thing...

I could have done 20 sets of 20 with 7-800 lbs on that leg press, it was nothing...

I thought 5 plates was going to kill me today, that's what I expected...
I haven't done that shit in a while

**P-funk** · 10-22-2005, 01:35 PM

I don't think he needs a box squat though?

ATG doesn't need adjustment -

**Mudge** · 10-22-2005, 02:19 PM

I didn't know if the box squat comment was joking or if you were really doing that kind of training

oh well. I squat to the bottom as well, cept I'm only doing front squats not back, and I do leg presses sometimes, lunges, and thats it for quad stuff..

I used to use those stackable
aerobic steps for a "BOX"... 5 or six was just below parallel for me (power-depth)

**CowPimp** · 10-22-2005, 02:44 PM

Good to see another olympic lifter in here. Do you have number goals, or are you just trying to go as big as you can?

For now I would be satisfied with being able to actually do the lifts properly -

I guess in the back of my mind right now I'm looking for a 275-300 C&J
and a 205-225 snatch

- I'm about as far from that as going to the moon though
