The bottom un-muscular guy was caught using too! AND it's his second offence. Muscular does not = steroid user, it's a result of body type and training. I'd say 90% of international competitors use...

I just felt like the whole time Kendrick was thinking... buddy, I don't give a fck about how to do your cheating pull ups...

Tonight was max jerks from the rack and my team mate, Matt O'Brien, hit a HUGE pr of 200 kilos.

hellllllll yes... but only because I'm a rampant press-outer

Looks good man, your issues lie in the top of the pull... you don't finish as well as you could and jump forward (most likely a by-product of not finishing).

So, as you're pulling the bar up:

You've really answered your own question...

Paused are harder, not paused are easier because you can use the stretch reflex. Just depends what you're after. Both are great exercises.

Yes we're probably the biggest in the city for competitive athletes now.
We have 7 platforms (6 and one competition size) and maybe 25 competitive athletes. It's a sweet place to lift big weights.

Don't overlook this post. Recruiting talent is almost as important as training.

The best trained jack russell isn't gonna win in a fight with a poorly trained pit bull.

3 years seriously with a coach and team... the first year I was away at university and only trained with them one day a week, but since then I've been full time.

Thanks everyone!

I really like my Nike's ...they're definitely heavy, but grip the platform very well and look sweet haha

My C+J went ok... I was planning on starting at 130 but dropped the...

Also, you can try directly strengthening the VMO - you can use heel-elevated step ups holding weight or any of the exercises in the video at the end of this article

It really sounds like you're doing things right... keep up the wall slides and stretching, sometimes although it may suck, you might have to take some time off of the things that hurt you... even...

Do you have access to a coach in your area? I'd always advocate finding a coach, even if you can only see them once a week

Had a small competition yesterday at my gym - Variety Village in Toronto.
Came in feeling great, really relaxed, and light (67.7kg) and put up a new competition record for the snatch...

Try going from the hang to start, since you only have small plates... deadlift it, then move the bar down to the front of your knee caps, and clean from there.

You're not doing too badly, make...

lots of great pictures on the blog Glenn, thanks for sharing

Hey there - I'll just talk about the power cleans -

First, use more weight! you can juggle that weight, put some more on and the real technique will come out.

Keep your ass down in the pull......

Hey man - nice PR lift, always feels good to slam that weight overhead for a new record...

Yes - a lot of beginner/intermediate lifters are better with pulls than the actual lifts. This is...

Get whatever coaching you can, investigate the coach's background, etc... don't just get advice from the jacked-est guy in the gym, fixing bad technique can be harder than beginning with none.

Hey man, a few things:

- start with the hips a bit lower, to keep the shoulders back - then think about driving your chest up while keeping the butt down... this is usually the cue I use to keep...
