Question about mobility and stretching.
I've starting spending about 20 minutes everyday working on mobility and flexibility, usually in the morning after I take the dog for a walk. Should I still stretch after training? I usually wait about half an hour then stretch out just about everything

Re pre-workout mobility, doing some static holds pre-workout (but also post-workout) and following it with sets of bar based mobility complexes like this has worked pretty well for me:
I've found dynamic mobility complexes like this a good means to warm up for the main movements. By the way, the santa hat will add 10 kg to your C+J.
The mobility complexes are useful. I attribute the improvement in my snatch reception to the use of preworkout mobility complexes:

You probably can if you just train from the front for a while. I did 95 from the front, started doing BTN only got up to 85kg then tried 90 from the front and failed.
From my own experience, pressing heavy can be very detrimental to alot of your other lifts. It's seen as a light accessory but in reality if you do it for maximal strength it's a full body compound that can wreck your lower back/shoulders. People often expect carryover from pressing to other lifts but i've never really seen any. If anything i've seen pressing RUIN bench press strength.Misc Strength Crew

Cleaned 130 kg today for a 5 kg PR. I'm trying to pull more vertical and stay over the bar, I think I'm doing a decent job of that. Felt easy, think I'm good for more.
Proceeded to hurt my upper back while warming up for front squats after this though. Ended up calling off the workout and taking a lax ball to my back for 20 minutes. Hopefully it's not serious.

Nice clean Reidy. I hate the fact that I'm so inconsistent with cleans. The last time I cleaned over 125 was in early November.
Since my adipowers seem to be falling apart now and are starting to get holes in the toe area, I have to get new shoes. Anyone recommend the Romaleo IIs? That's what I'm thinking but want some reviews before I go ahead and drop 200 bucks.

I have come to the point where I realize I need some knee sleeves. Squatting and all this running and plyometrics have made my knees feel stiff when squatting. Anyone recommend some knee sleeves?

I second this^^^ When I started squatting more frequently and with greater volume, my knees started feeling stiff/tight and hurt. I realized I didn't increase stretching and/or foam rolling to account for the increase. Once I did that, almost all pain when away!!
Oh, and to the guy who asked about Romaleo 2's, I only have the 1's, but well worth the money. I've lifted on mine for the last 2 yrs with 4-6 workouts per week, and they are just now starting to look like they've been lifted in!! I've heard the same things about the 2's. I would drop $200 on a new pair in a heartbeat if I had the money and/or needed to buy new shoes!!Training log: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=168969133
