-Gotta keep workin at that clean. My speed session was went well, may have taken a bit outta me. I only had about 30-40 minutes between speed/weights. I’m so damn close to a PR!
-Right achilles is a little sore today? Not sure from what… Right near the heel.

still waiting for vid…

Keep workin on that clean man. You gonna get it soon. Burn baby burn!

all tech problems with all the strength gains etc it shouldnt be a problem.

I’ll get one next week I haven’t had access to a camera.

Perhaps the first thing you should do if you are attempting to powerclean 102% is to actually do a movement which would result in a power clean. vis a vis catch the bar not in a rock bottom squat ergo that would be the same as attempting a wide grip bench with your hands 6 inches apart on the bar, not gunna happen.

Not sure what you’re implying. I always perform powercleans the way they’re supposed to be done; however since this weight is 102% of my 1RM, the catch obviously is going to be lower than usual. I didn’t do that on purpose it just happened that way. Thanks.

I am saying if it is rock bottom the terminology is clean not power clean.

A power clean consists of a partial rather than full squat. And therefore if you are catching in the rock bottom position you are not power cleaning but rather cleaning.

I understand the terminology and the difference. I didn’t intend to catch it that low, it just so happened that I had to drop under the bar that low to make the catch.
