A place to talk about fitness and health on Farcaster.

Pretty sure the pink plates and tape made me lift better 🤩

Happy with my Clean and Jerk session at @ontrackgym today 🏋🏽‍♀️ considering I missed last week’s.

Tall clean 3x5 (20-25kg)
Clean 4x3 (50-55kg)
3 part pause split Jerk 5x2 (ended on 52kg)

For anyone wondering, I am actually not made for this sport and have incredibly long limbs in comparison to my torso… but we make it work 🤷🏽‍♀️

Way to work the knees out - https://markbellslingshot.com/products/hip-circle high recommend for cue development!

you probably don’t think about liquidity enough // it is what it is  // build value, not valuation

Interesting - I don’t think the caving is inherently bad (since it’s a natural response), but I’d be hard pressed to see the mechanical advantage.

I’m a mediocre powerlifter - but still think the hip circle is a useful drill for improving positioning.

Knee caving is not actually as bad as everyone thinks it is. Look up videos of some of the strongest power lifters and Olympic lifters. I have done a lot of adductor isolation, this happens because I have very long legs compared to my torso. It’s my body’s way of finding power. Wearing a hip band is not recommended.

You may find this interesting too. I want to be able to push into the floor more.

Ah these are interesting - I’ve typically referenced guys like this:

Bobb Matthews even notably is rotating out for his: https://youtu.be/ZpyMPurSTs4?si=kADW9VJBJHH8lTTP

I get it though - in practice for myself and people I’ve helped with cueing, they’ve developed better muscle recruitment from the knees out method. 

The band is definitely a band aid for a broader set of movement practice. No body is the same as yours!
