Calling all OL'ers......:)

[CHS55]

So where does McCauley stand these days on the catapult? I saw on a post the other day that the Catapult is just a different way to describe how people lift (and declared that it's not a new technique), but then a few days afterwards he went back to the whole "Shrugging is bad, rising up on toes is bad". Still waiting on him to produce Olympians.

[forcefedfreak]

There isn't enough time in the day to tally all the contradictions McCauley makes.

[forcefedfreak]

Well I can't train right now, but at least I'm stilling making other people strong.

[feces99]

If you really care how he feels, you seem to be the only one here that actually knows him and would be able to find out. Thanks for the unsolicited advice - I enjoy hearing people's honest opinions of my actions and it allows me to reflect on myself once in a while, but on a personal level I really don't care what you think so like I said before, I don't see why you would ever expect me to listen to your advice over anyone else's, that's just silly and self-righteous.

I could, but at the time of conversing with you he wasnt around to ask. And its not so important that I know because Im not going to post his private chats with me, its more important for you to know since youre the one putting it on blast. The onus is on you to ask permission before putting out private info. Im not self-righteous to believe that youll listen or believe anything I tell you, thats your own choice. Moreover, I dont see anyone else giving you advice on this matter so I dont see how my advice is superseding anyone else's.

Its one thing to like hearing opinions on your actions, its another thing to listen to them (and it seems youre not going to listen which again is up to you, but also reflects on you). Yes its unsolicited, but you put yourself on a public forum (unlike Hysen) so you have to take what comes your way.

are you starting to feel stronger @ the bottom of your squat jerks? i remember a couple of weeks ago you were destroying power jerks but having trouble squat jerking

[jb4476]

Trained twice yesterday, once at home and once with LA bros. Did strength work at home, felt strong with a 180x5 press+280x6 FS. Practiced snatch and C+J with LA crew at CF Pasadena. Then I realized **** I have a lot of work to do that is all due tomorrow. Dat feel when all-nighter and no sleep. No training today. But that's OK because I am now done with the term. 5/6 of the way through Caltech. Don't stop now. Going to sleep now.

GJ man. Do you squat jerk like Lu X. (drop straight down) or like Farris (ride down the power jerk)? Really impressive either way, I'm just curious.

oh so you're doing them behind the neck? do you feel like that helps with creating a straighter dip + drive? thats my biggest problem right now

[ftwrestler]

Vids or gtfo breh

the guy has the 115kg on his phone. he is gonna send it to me tonight through FB. I think my fail of 100kg snatch will be on there too lol (the one where i nut checked myself with the bar :/)

no i feel like it promotes a proper catch behind the head.

[schabowy90]

huge Front Squat PR guise.

previous PR 140 x 3


I guess thats what happened when you dont do OLY lifts and just accessory work for a workout

dude wtf lol. thats ridiculous

Im pretty sore after the 10x2 you prescribed me yesterday, but somehow felt so good on FS.
Ive noticed that when you BS, FS the next day always feels great. interesting how the different muscles are recruited I guess,

[dbk1]

the difference between snatching on a real oly bar @ takanos and on the poverty bars @ oxy's varsity gym is night and day. I could BARELY snatch 85kgs today.

will do!

my two biggest problems for the jerk are 1) allowing the bar to bring me forward on the drive and 2) because of that, leaving the bar out in front. i think that doing some BTN jerks with help me get the bar back more

Power clean and jerked doubles up to 95 kg tonight, felt pretty good about that.

Also finished up with some GPP/conditioning since I've really been slacking in that department. Did 75 meter farmer's walks with 140 lbs in each hand, and supersetted these with 30 kg KB high swings. Pretty tiring, but definitely worth it.
