yes, i went to a steakhouse and ordered it. 24oz plus a 16oz afterwards. i got free dessert it was cool.

it was some prime something, really rare (somehow still "medium") so it's easy to eat. i could not have eaten like 40oz well done.

If you don't count calories, then I doubt you measure how many oz. of steak you eat. Not calling you a liar, but 40 oz. does sound like a lot. 2.5 lbs. of steak? Jesus haha, if you can do that man, then that's awesome. Make sure it's a lean cut, though.

What did you mean by: "i take it then it's similar to what you need when squatting/deadlifting/benching"?

there's no bone in it? it's just meat. i dunno, i just go in there and ask them for a steak that is easy to chew and big. usually when i do this i'm not paying for it

i will take the next week off from heavy work. will concentrate on overhead pressing and overhead squatting for a while (if my knees permit), then when i'm all heal'd da up, i will be hitting the rack 4.4231 x 10^342 as hard.

Any reason you're starting on overhead squats?

I'd like to see a video and/or an article on how to do these properly. Do you happen to have one? I could see it being up for debate whether or not on locks out their arms, holding the bar. Locking out could put stress on the joints. Not locking out could tire out the shoulders and triceps. Much I need to learn.

What is their prime purpose?

 

[super_rice]

their prime purpose is as a exercise to build on snatch recovery, much like a front squat is for a clean.

the only place i've had problems with in terms of joints and all are at the wrists, there is quite a lot of pressure there when holding the bar overhead on snatch position. you also need a good bit of shoulder flexibility and flexibility overall to get into the squat snatch position.

doing these for other athletes just help to increase their balance, flexibility, etc. you have to have pretty good coordination to do these movements properly.

i'm doing overhead squats because i need work holding weight overhead, and i need some form of squat to keep me sane that i know won't go too heavy. this will be the first time in months that i have not done squats while doing other things in the gym. i might even have to go do some curls

You outta buy yourself some Inzer wrist wraps. I won't bench over 205 without them anymore. They stabilize your wrists so well and it really helps you focus your energy into lifting the weight. Plus it protects the wrist.
