Fredd how do you get more comfortable getting under the bar on a clean? I set a new pr yesterday but failed 2 reps first where it looked like I pulled it high enough to rack it, but I just wouldn't get under it.

I still have problems with this tbh. This is what is known in the business as "Clarking it". What has helped the most for me is doing sets of 3 from the high hang position. Since the barbell is already above your knees in this position, you don't get as much momentum on the barbell and you have to get under the bar. For example: http://www.catalystathletics.com/exe...exerciseID=190 Remember I said sets of 3 so you can get lots of repetitions (hehe TIT) getting under the bar. You don't need to use heavy weights starting out and you probably can't use anything close to your max.

Also, if you're having issues with power cleaning it instead of full cleans, read this: http://averagebroz.com/ABG/Q_%26_A/E...ull_lifts.html

I've been doing something like that in my warm ups already (I start from the ground, then hang from the knees, then right at my waist and yeah def with lower weight) but ill do a bunch more. And yeah I have trouble doing full ones sometimes. Just more stuff to work on next time (ie more volume lol)

I asked how much it would cost if my insurance didn't cover it.

"It won't cost anything unless the doctor finds a problem. If he does, you will pay your copay for the diagnosis and then some more to treat it."

GEE, I WONDER IF HE'S GOING TO FIND SOMETHING?

What's wrong with wearing glasses? They look hella cute.
08-01-2013 , 05:35 PM
Awky, im in the optometrists office right meow.

I don't know if I believe in anything that JMurder says.

You can't be an expert in every aspect of the law.

I only wear my glasses at night.

Just get Lasik. It's mo better. You're welcome to attempt to sue them. Legally, I can't recommend that course of action, though.
08-01-2013 , 05:41 PM
I'm shocked when any lawsuit loses tbh

Yeah...here's 4k out of my pocket. I'd rather wearing contacts and spend the money fixing my British teeth.
08-01-2013 , 05:44 PM
True that for British teeth. I am starting to get pretty bad toothache and I'm pretty sure I need a filling.

The market can fix your optometrist problem. So could a baseball bat.
