You could probably work on them everyday without it impacting your recovery...actually it might help your recovery to do them everyday until you get the neural efficiency part down lol.

Back squat
Bench
Deadlift
BB Military

And for accessory/power work I will be doing

Power cleans
Hang cleans
Snatches
Push presses
Front squats
OH Squats

Also gonna do plyometric work (jumps, sprints, clap pushups, medicine ball throws)

First off, practice: I've only done them once so maybe 95 was a success. remember everything sucks in the beginning, even riding a bike.

What affected me the most was rolling on the toes cause I couldn't get my shoulders back far enough to balance the bar over my feet. Maybe a wider grip would work for me. My right shoulder flexibility is lacking since the surgery.

I'm gonna read more about it, listen to pointers and watch videos until I get it right.

95lbs!! crazy compared to now man. haha same here mate, i'm not what you'd call an endurance athlete.

You have never had to cut?? thats genetics for ya. As you have been lean all your life you prob don't realise how envious us more fat prone crowd are, although i do put on muscle ridiculously fast as a plus.

I'm pretty much already doing everything you mentioned, 5 hrs of fasted morning cardio a week, carbs only after cardio and workouts etc etc. i think I need me a fat burner

I'm assuming in your info to the side that norcal is northern California, thats sick brah! hoping to move out there one day myself with the girl. I'm in the uk and man does the grass seem a whole lot greener........

thx for checkin my log man!

Its cool eating whatever i want lol. should be healthier tho..

check out eca! Ultimate fat burner imo...cali is sweet you will love it
