Monkey Needs "BIG" Numbers, no whammy's

[The Monkey Man]

did you make an appointment with the ortho yet?

Why not take a couple weeks off of lower body training to just give the knees a break?

did

 

[P-funk]

"did" to both?

 

[The Monkey Man]

"did" to both?

Oh..

No didn't call the Ortho...

Did take two full weeks off any remotely strenuous leg work

Indeed. Or just go into active rest mode. Do half the volume, lower the inensity, and decrease the effort put forth.

You mean to say you did this on a smith machine??? That seems like it'd a little unnatural.

No it actually gives a nice steady resistance
and I can set the pegs like you would bumper plates
off of lifting blocks...

We do with what we have

 

[Seanp156]

Interesting... Have you been taught how to do oly lifts, or just taught yourself for the most part?

I'm interested in getting involved with it at some point, but the only thing I've played with has been hang cleans.

It seems very few gyms actually have bumper plates.

Damn, I'd be happy with that w/o personally!!! I thought you were going to start posting videos of your lifts, I'd love to see your form on these. I'm trying to watch as many different people as I can right now. And that's really some nice weight

Man, I need more work -

 

[P-funk]

how do you power snatch more then you can squat snatch?

 

[The Monkey Man]

My overhead squat sux balls

 

[P-funk]

yea but you should have no problem fixing that weight overhead. Is your power snatch form clean? Or is it sloppy? Pulling with your arms a lot?

 

[The Monkey Man]

the pull is clean



I lean foward too far after my thighs pass below parallel



and my arms cant rotate behind me that much

in fact I can feel strain in my shoulders PWO

when I go up around 110lbs or more



I need to sit upright in the hole

arms and back near parallel to each other

then I can support bigger weight



I have to revamp my squat some more

work on being upright



this will be a re-train of a huge amount of muscle



I need big time work

 

[Rocco32]

Where's the vid?

 

[The Monkey Man]

Where's the vid?

Too big to post (104mb)

I need to figure out how to compress it

Besides you shouldn't be watching me lift
you will learn bad habits

 

[Seanp156]

To compress... Try a program called "VirtuaDub" It's free.
