You can learn some bad habits with power cleans that just won't fly when you do full cleans (big split with the legs, arm pulling, etc), so learning full cleans first will probably make your form...

Deep squatting + some weight gain is good for the arse.

No point in not learning how to do an exercise. You'll be fine.

Rip's stuff works very well for newbs, that's why it's called Starting Strength. But I'm liking the idea of pounding the **** out of myself for triples, because it's simply what I like to do. Will...

I like your style. I'm planning on doing a raw meet in June and have decided to add heavy partials at different pin heights to my normal squat routine. Mainly because it obviously worked for you, you...

Do not start on the balls of the feet. But DO drive into the ground with your heels; the quads start the initial extension off the floor, and once the bar reaches about knee cap height the hips...

Look at the bodyweights of the two people who said it didn't work...yep.

3 sets of 5. And it won't be too little because the weight will be increasing every workout. It will get challenging fast. Where do you get 20 mins from? When the weight gets heavy, and it will,...

The only problem with the rowing is that it's ingraining in your mind to pull with the arms off the floor...something that if done long enough will screw up your powerclean off the floor. I don't...

1) He was way too happy with himself.
2) That probably ****ing hurt.
3) His friend is an ass hole.

Damn.

Are you doing your pull ups dead hang?

Eh? Try it, helped me with bar tracking.

And your forearms should be perpendicular to the bar. Find the grip that enables that.

Ab rollouts, and chin up leg raises and bring your feet up to the bar. According to Jim Wendler, "They'll tell you when the set is over".

And the cleans are fun once you get them down. And no, you...

Support the guy, it's less than 30 bucks for a book you'll reference your entire lifting career...
