As it sits I've picked up the legpress, I'll give those front squats a try and see how they feel. Thanks for the input.

Alrighty, think leg press can be very beneficial as a dynamic exercise?

Unfortunately front squats and things where the arms are in front of the bar in such a way are out of the question due to an injured elbow. I've considered overhead press but that's not exactly lower boddy like I'm looking for.

Currently I've got snatch as one of my DE leg lifts but given my unfamiliarity with the form (and the fact that my little brother is lifting with me, who has less of an idea how to do it than I do) I'd like an alternative lift to take it's place. This is my current set-up: Box Squat Snatch...

Thanks :)

Hot damn I love this forum. The other one I'm on was just a bunch of bashing and telling me how gay it all was. This actually has some people with backable opinions. For the person asking about my sport it's Discus Throwing (Track and Field). So gloves will play a big part in hindering the...

As I've been reading a lot of the posts on the website, I've noticed that a good deal of people shun the use of stuff like gloves and other accessories to make the lifting a little easier. Why is that? Is it just because a majority of those people who shun it come from a competitive lifting...

First day of workouts is done. It took me about 1 hour, 40 min to complete everything but the plyometric bar tosses (smith machines weren't available at the time, I won't save them for last anymore). Not too bad for everything I did. Didn't feel overly exhausted or tired. Looking forward to what...

thanks CEO

Definitely something to think about. I'll prolly give this a try today and see how I like it.

Awesome, can't wait to get started tomorrow and see how my body handles it.

Thanks a ton themondtster. How does it sound with me keeping snatch only on the explosive day and moving the goodmornings and the stiff-legged deadlifts to Friday with my heavy leg day? Therefore this would be the further modified "new" routine: Monday (Upper Body- Maximum Strength): Upper...

Alright, now how about the exercises that aren't being done as 5x5 (mostly on the explosive days)? Should I be upping the weight on every set (I mean sometime's there's 8 sets which could become alot of added weight unless I did mulitple sets at one weight then went up)? I've also moved my...

Hey there everyone, wanted to take the time to say thank you for all the help you've given me so far. I think I'm just about happy with the setup I've got, mind giving me your opinions on it? Here it is: Monday (Upper Body- Maximum Strength): Upper Body- Bench Press (5x5), Military Press w/...

Thank you very much for all the feedback and I look forward to hearing from you all.
