power or yah

how much vol do you have to accumulate at 70% before you can peak again (in the classics?)

noticed something interesting about technique yesterday

in my setup as i was bending over to grab the bar and set my back as i usually do

i felt my abs touch my thighs and i thought hmm, this feels good

and i realized i could get way closer to the bar

it reminded me of how like okulov sets up real nice and close to the bar

as opposed to how awkward and far away i look in a lot of my setups

it led to interesting results:

i think the bar stayed a lot closer and more comfortable, however I wasnt used to extending in this position, so I felt like i missed full extension (either ass or legs),

and also i sometimes did a donkey kick - a significant difference from how ive gotten to almost always do no feet

but some of these went really well

probably best set of power sn ive ever done

still, lockout is not decisive enough, it still feels awkward in some ways, and the timing is off
furthermore, my balance really wonked on the set at 65

"work up to heavy triple"

60x3
70x3x2
65x3

could have maybe done 72-75 but it was 1am and i was tired

snatch ass balace
20x4x2
40x4x2
honestly it's so bad
i have to think 'reverse jerk' and get a nice dip and drive
but im leaning forward or tipping over
let's be serious about 'mobility'


back squat
120x2x6
the hip distraction thing really works, i need to work on that
i found the painfull mass of nerve and muscle that ray released
boy was it fired up last night

just attacked it with my fingers

felt better after i did that but still awkward tension coming out of hole on squats
leaning forward and going on forefoot

maybe calves are still too stressed out

but i felt like i had a good breath in my mind last night that was related to the 'small waist' cue ive heard on #chineseweightlifting insta

that helped

i dont trust zack telander with WL knowledge (he doesnt think #chineseWL does a lot of bodybuilding, lol) but looking at his dedication did motivate me

pallet press shit
15x10x3 (one set = both sides)
nadine made me do this laterally, i.e. side to side; maybe i should be doing it front-back like jyoti showed me years ago
feels interesting but very different on each side; one seems to be using arm more than the other

weighted groin stretch
hip capsule stretch
brief hang
tension on left side of low back

did some more sn pulls with 40, feels good
