    You went with a small in blue Rehbands at 37 cm? I went with XL at 40 cm and that is snug. I'm amazed you can fit in a small - Jackal's has that as 30-33 cm.

    My blue Rehbands came today, they feel awesome. But what's the deal with the sizing? I went with the XLs and they are pretty snug, despite the fact that I'm starved down to 85kg right now.

    Just make sure you stay light and don't yank it around like the guy in that vid. Stay smooth and controlled. How was your strength? Are you notably more weak on one side?

    It sucked. I lost so much muscle mass, strength, and flexibility. But on the upside, my left shoulder is now actually the better one on lockouts.

    Don't even think about trying to pay for it without insurance. Get that situation sorted as soon as you can. Surgery alone is $20K+ in bills between the hospital and docs, and that's for a 2hr,...

    I know that feeling. Before I had surgery for my torn labrum, I could barely even sleep or use my left arm. That sucked.

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's more likely that as a lifter...

    You have way too much hand/wrist tension, both on your FS and clean. Remember that the weight is supposed to rest on your delts and pecs. Your hands and wrists shouldn't be bearing weight, they...

    I eat everything, but no sweets/deserts and very little fruit. Sugar isn't something I like.

    I have a huge amount of dairy, which probably negatively affects recovery, but I love dairy and need...

    Knee sleeves/wraps

    I've always lifted without sleeves or wraps, but lately I seem to have pretty sore knees, especially after heavy days, so I'm thinking sleeves or wraps might be an idea. Do you guys use them? What...

    You are too low when you start. You want to be breaking the bar off the floor by dropping your hips, not raising them. Your starting position should be awkward feeling, have your weight forward,...

    I know that feeling...some days I wish I went back to PL and got to grip and rip heavy weights again. But OL is so much more satisfying, even if I'm much worse at it.

    huntito, you need to work on your starting position. Don't start so low or so far back. Bring your hips up and start with your shoulders over top of the bar.

    And yes, work on your flexibility,...

    Start with the bar over the middle of your feet and keep it close. Unless you have shin wounds, you're too far forward.

    This is a better explanation of sweeping the bar than I'll ever come up...
