It had to be done.

I won't pretend to be any guru, but that is how I train.

To start off the discussion, one thing that has really helped my explosiveness is box jumps. I love them.

As soon as the transformation contest is over I'm going to start mixing olympic lifts into my routine.

Sweet

Does that include snatches?

I noticed you have some bumpers (your pics of your gym)

I've got bumpers at my gym I used them when I did snatches and clean and jerks...but the problem with the snatches were...I was doing them completely wrong, it was like an explosive front raise and I was standing up not squatted.

Muscle snatches

Most people do that when they start out.

I actually wouldn't recommend trying to snatch.

The snatch is such a high risk movement that if you don't have coaching you would be better off just clean and jerking. IMO at least.

Yea when I saw how it was done I was like no way I'm trying it like that. I'll do some cleans sometime, and I'll jerk when it's weight I can press

Probably not for awhile, if at all... I haven't done any olympic lifts since high school, so first I'm just going to start out with clean & jerk and clean & press and go from there.

I don't do any oly lifts other than hang cleans really, sometimes throw a press in there but that's all. however, I loved doing box jumps when i had access to a box. really helped my vertical leap a shitload, and I barely lifted then yet I could hop like crazy. anybody know where they sell those kinda boxes?

I did it for a while.. managed to get BW snatch..

but, never again.

sent me knees to shit, definitely my fault, but w/e.

not enough caring about chest either

..

Jagerbombs · 01-20-2008, 03:14 AM

I did hang cleans last year in strength training at school. If I take the class...I'll start them back up.

Cant do them now due to lack of bumper weights

That's pretty damn good.

Oddly enough I throw a wierd mix of oly lifts into my workout all the time. This week I'll be doin some clean and snatch and clean and jerk days :-) it'll be fun.
