Josh, cleans are starting to look good. On your jerks, do you realize how much your hips are moving?

Thanks, yeah the cleans felt better, but the bar is still too far away, I tore 107 off the floor and got under it but it was too far away to catch. Also, it looks kind of like I pull the same way Donny does, i.e I don't pull the slack out. I should probably start doing that, I think my hips are too high.
But yeah I know what you mean on the jerk. The dip ends up sort of hunched.Last edited by jb4476; 12-09-2012 at 02:15 PM.

I should start watching Frank Yang's videos more, they're ****ing hilarious. I'm amazed he hasn't hurt himself, and also impressed. I'm pretty sure I just watched him tear 190 kg off the floor for reps with alternating snatch grip, if I tried to do that I would rupture a bicep tendon for sure.
How exactly is it that he can throw a 250 PC+J through the ceiling but gets nearly stapled with a 350 lb parallel back squat?Last edited by jb4476; 12-09-2012 at 03:59 PM.

If ftwrestler or anyone else has experience with this and wants to chime in, it would be helpful. It's been two months since I started squatting daily, pile that onto frequent practice of the snatch and C+J plus all the other accessories. Based on the last few days, I think I've been hit by the dark times like a ton of bricks. It took me until 6 am to fall asleep last night because of the insomnia which I suspect is a result of excess CNS stress. Today I was so weak I pretty much was sleepwalking through training. I was too tired to bounce when front squatting so I just descended slowly. This is what dark times looks like:
Now, it's not like I am physically incapable of handling the training, and I'm prepared to give it some more time, since Broz says to give it three months and it has only been two, I'm just wondering if anyone who has been doing this longer has experience to report.
On an unrelated note, does anyone know the name of the incredibly lame song that is playing while Klokov push presses 225?

I don't mean for this to come out in a disrespectful way, but are you aware that at the Arnold/Nationals this year, Broz's only two lifters tested positive for prohibited substances? (Human growth hormone and lasix, the latter implies that something more was being taken.)

Yes. Keep in mind that this is not even close to what Broz' lifters do. It's less than half. As I understand it, Broz' lifters train 13x a week, twice on Monday-Saturday and once on Sunday, up to two hours in the morning and 3-4 in the evening, in each of those 13 sessions there is at least one type of squat and the snatch and the clean and jerk. Additionally, Broz' lifters work up to a 1RM in all 13 sessions, while I pretty much never work up to a 1RM in any kind of squatting (today was unusual) and stick to 3-7 rep top sets and on days with no quick lifts like today, will spend maybe 45 minutes in the gym. So, while this programming style is in the spirit of Broz' suicidal enthusiasm, it is far less demanding. Plus, if I'm still destroyed after say, 5 more weeks, I'll probably bail out. But I do want to give it at least some benefit of the doubt.

>tfw you think you're gaining weight, and you check scale and you've gained nothing
I think the problem is my school cafeteria meal plan. Its hard for me to track these calories, compared to if i made my own meals, I would be making exactly what i needed.
Also since its buffet style, I feel less compelled to eat when I'm in there, since there's infinite amounts.
I'm gonna have to go into 4 shakes a day mode and go full retard
dis gon be good. problem?
