you ever try eatin a little bit of honey right before workouts? I've done this a few times so far...

 

[coolcolj]

that would make it worst I think!

I also have a clip of me falling down backwards on the 2nd rep of the 1st set of squatcleans

will post later

honey slowly releases sugar, fructose i think. i sometimes take a tablespoon or so in hopes of stabalizing blood sugar, although i can't for sure say that it work.

 

[coolcolj]

You sure? I thought it would spike the levels up pretty hard

Hey CCJ got any tips for me? Recently started these, and was wondering how to keep my back straight yet not hit my knees when I grab the weight off the floor.

Is it still called a power clean when you do the motion, but instead of stopping at the collarbone you press it over your head?

 

[coolcolj]

If your doing them properly, the knees will move out of the way as you go up.

Shoulders in front of bar, the back angle stays the same until you get the bar to knee height. This ensures you won't hit the knee.
Controlled off the floor, and then explode when you get past the knee. You pull straight up rather than back in a deadlift

That would be a powerclean and press

I am sure it's timed released. It's also real easy on my stomach.

I'd give it a try.
