Did I do that right?
Anyway, once upon a time there was a man named Giles Corey. He invented lifting heavy things. On his death bed, he cried out, "More weight!" and so the people added another boulder to his chest. [Note: he was accused of witchcraft.] To this day, men and women pay tribute to Giles Corey and ask, shout, nay, demand "More weight," as they step under a bar.
I'm gonna put some useful links in here but doing this on the phone sucks.

So I stuck my reps from last night into a 1rm calculator and it came up surprisingly high. I think I accidentally made gains.
Now that I can afford it, are protein supplements something you should start taking as soon as you start overall, or is that something that really only helps/is necessary when you reach a certain level?

Mobility and stretching is the light.
Buy whey protein. Optimum Nutrition is great. Whey metabolizes quickly (great pre- and post-workout) and has a solid amino acid profile.
100x2x3 then 105x1 pb push press and 150x1x3 squat yesterday!
The only mobility I do is whatever exercise I'm doing with a light'ish weight and perfect form. Maybe some pauses too to lock in the positions.
taking it 'safe' for the most part and starting out 'light'
last week did 3x10 squats at 115 lbs.
just did 3x10 135 lbs. though the very last rep was a little slow going
i guess next week ill try 145 lbs.?
PARKER, YOU'RE FIRED! <-- My comic book podcast! Satan look here!
Being able to drop into that bottom position in the snatch first rep is better than finding out your hips are too tight and catch it in a power snatch.
Buy heavier plates?
Need a couple more 10 lb plates.
Maybe another set of 25's too.
It's impressive, and the dude is a badass, but he's wearing a bench shirt.
You know 6 45's and a 45# bar is 315
That's an olympic bar, my bar and the plates are all standard. It weighs 18.
Well that sucks
Oh yeah, I agree; I always do five mins or so of drills with the bar then work up from 50% to warm up before snatching. I'm lucky in that I don't really have any mobility issues though, so can get into the positions without much work.
I am always hesitant to do them because, while not exactly banned, they are frowned upon at the gym and I am horrible at them. That is probably part of it.
Besides, with your strength you'll be totalling 300 kilos in no time!
P.s. Why are they frowned on? Does your gym not have platforms?
P.p.s. My thread goal is a bodyweight snatch...
They have all the equipment but the runners and machine people bitch to management when I make enough noise to hear over their headphones. Annoying but there's 20 of them and only one of me.
Yeah I had to control some of my cleans when there were instructors in the classroom...they were complaining.
Fuck you!!
I'm sure that it would be a rule as soon as they realize that all their money comes from people who come once a week to run and that I'm the only one who uses the platform.
Anyway, I can do most of what I want to do with my stuff at home it's just a matter of getting it in my head to do it.
Squat: 235lbs. (x4)
DL: 275 (x3)
Press: 105 (x3)
Bench: 185 (x5)
Body weight: 155
Hooray for heavy accessory lifts.
But I really don't understand if you have a platform why they would bitch.
And you know what makes loud annoying noises? Treadmills and TVs
