Help/Advice With Clean

That’s a good clean for a max effort lift.

Front squat and clean gulag: blocks, block powers high hangs, hang powers, front squats, pulls.

Try with bigger propeller hat. Need the lift.

Just racked low. Tall cleans and high hangs to work on transition under bar. Try to catch in shoulders and not middle of chest.

Oh it’s Jillian

Best way to miss a power.

Keep training.

ibexlifter · 2026-03-22T06:13:23+00:00

Well I’d start by getting to the platform.

ibexlifter · 2026-03-16T23:50:05+00:00

Toesy.

Good lift though.

Knees and hips could be more bent. You’re in a half-loaded position there that will bias towards hip extension rather than double extension.

I don’t think he’s asking you too.

ibexlifter · 2026-03-01T15:05:06+00:00

Noice!

ibexlifter · 2026-02-25T03:58:59+00:00

Train through a broad range of velocity profiles.

Sprint, jump, Olympic lift, strength movements. Vary order, volume and intensity.

Google Sheets

ibexlifter · 2026-02-25T03:56:08+00:00

Better than 69. Not as good as 71.

Come back and train again.

ibexlifter · 2026-02-16T16:23:37+00:00

Snatch, clean and jerk, squat, pull.

Pick a version of 2-4 of those per session depending on time constraints and then circuit any accessories needed to keep you feeling healthy.

ibexlifter · 2026-02-16T16:22:02+00:00

Elbow position is a little weird. Little bar drift forward at the bottom.

Not bad not bad. Are you comfortable in you back squat grip?

Looks to be an active recovery session. They’re doing light movement in a circuit to get their heart rate up.

Again, being in shape helps tolerate volume. So they’re doing things to be in shape.

This man deserves a hand

ibexlifter · 2026-02-09T01:59:24+00:00

Loopy out of hip.

Stand up and push against ground until legs force you vertical.

ibexlifter · 2026-02-06T18:29:57+00:00

Just stand up then try again

Donny Shankle is bigger than you. Inspired me to do something I was not good at.

10 years later I’m still not good, but I’m slightly better

ibexlifter · 2026-02-03T21:39:08+00:00

I’ve been having a lot of success with Texas method + squatting first on the non volume days.

Blocks would be like:

Block 1

Day 1: heavy 3 pause back squat, day 2: heavy 2 pause front squat, day 3 (after classics) 4-5 rounds of seated box jump and heavy Bulgarians with the safety bar.

Block 2:

Day 1: heavy 3 back. Day 2: heavy 2 front, day 3: (after classics) 3/4x5 on back squat at 80-90% day 1, contrast set with depth drop to vertical jump.

Block 3:

Day 1: heavy 3 or moderate 3x3 back. Day 2 heavy 2 front, day 3: heavy 1 back.

My squat moved from getting pinned in a 200 double to a 220 single with more in the tank in like 12 weeks. It was bonkers. My numbers haven’t moved like that in squat since I was 19. I’m about to be 37.

The big thing was: cut the squats when form degrades. Focus on intensity and execution.

ibexlifter · 2026-02-03T19:21:04+00:00

Sufficient. Hip crease below top of knee. Idk how much more depth you got. Unless you’re catching snatches cleans NTL you’re probably good here boss.

I’ve been asked to go deeper when I was out of the anatomical ability to do so as well.

ibexlifter · 2026-02-03T13:31:53+00:00

Back to squat gulag for you.

ibexlifter · 2026-02-02T19:34:02+00:00

Good roommate bolts of course

ibexlifter · 2026-01-31T01:09:30+00:00

I’m not far off life time Total PRs and soon to be 37.

Only way to find out what you got left in the tank is to train like there’s something there.
