I'm not an expert on whether you're supposed to raise your shoulder, but some questions that come to my mind are:
Have you tried squeezing your traps together?
Do you balance your workout with rows...

fyi CEE doesn't require nearly as much water as Creatine monohydrate.
I'd say CEE would definitely help in a wrestling match.
"give me a pump during the match and it'll be hard to move my arms......

Derek And The Dominos - Layla
Jimi Hendrix Experience - All Along The Watchtower
Living Colour - Cult of Personality
Van Halen - Eruption

I also like classical:

Bach - Double Violin Concerto...

I liked the mirror idea, so I'm going to steal it:

Stop staring at yourself.

I will say it's easier for a lazy ass like me to repeat a weight and increment by 10 lbs., than to mess with those 2.5 lb. plates all the time. But like I said I'm lazy.

Looks fine to me.

Westside does 8-12 sets of 3 for dynamic lifts. I've seen other explosive training with similar rep schemes. IMO it would be better to try for 3 reps with rest less, compared to the 6 reps.

I'm guessing basketball. One week of plyos will do more harm than good. There is actually a negative effect initially, until your body adjusts. You've got to think further ahead for real training...

Wow, detailed comments, Person! Just what I was looking for. Thanks.

I'm just recreational-- I don't plan to try out for K-1 or anything. ;)

My recovery plan... I'm not really sure what that...

My schedule only allows for MMA training on those two days. There will be some sparring, bag stuff, and grappling.

No advice or critique?

Nitpicky questions...

Wednesday lower body A - You have Good Mornings and Cleans at 3x8, then switch to 4x5, etc. That doesn't fit the pattern. Was that a typo, or is there a reason it's...

I did them barefoot for a few months. The bottom of my feet started to hurt. I switched back to shoes and the pain went away. Not that it's better one way or the other... maybe just changing the...

Rest about 2-3 minutes between the later warmups, maybe a little longer before your final pull.

For my last deadlift max attaempt, I did some 205 lb squats first, then this deadlift warmup:

I've come up with an outline for a power-based routine. What do you think? It uses "complex sets" which consist of standard weights superset with plyos or other power movements. Example: Deadlift,...

I don't think it's necessary to do incline, flat and decline bench. A lot of people do dips and incline. I would suggest having the same number of exercises for back and chest (e.g. incline and...

I was trying to give you information to make your own decision. Find your own balance of variety vs. simplicity. As long as you hit all the muscles and increase load consistently, you'll be fine.

It's kind of funny that Mr. Washington State Record doesn't meet his own criteria for deadlift or squat. ;)
