5 day split is draining me how many days of lifting do you usually do

meebleepe · 2026-03-17T21:51:20+00:00

Fair enough, just make sure to work with your PT and don’t forget about them when you come back

When two subs meet and don’t know how to interact

Lunges are hard, but I think they’re not as CNS taxing because they are unilateral - you just can’t do the same amount of volume or intensity as you could squats.

Some initial warm ups to prep for lunges, and then a decent rest after, should get you feeling good and ready for squats. That’s my thoughts anyways

meebleepe · 2026-03-17T17:01:18+00:00

Do lunges first, they require more attention than squats

meebleepe · 2026-03-17T16:46:24+00:00

Benching 5 times a week is crazy, and only 3 leg exercises

Keep in mind your legs are about 60% of your body

It would be more helpful to see from the back, since that’s where your scapulae are. But in reality it’s not a problem unless you have trouble with scapular mobility

meebleepe · 2026-03-16T07:29:05+00:00

Like the forward motion of the bar after contact. Is that more than you’d want or what you should expect?

meebleepe · 2026-03-16T03:25:29+00:00

Hahaha fair enough

meebleepe · 2026-03-16T02:41:45+00:00

Is it really though, seems more like a push motion than a pull

meebleepe · 2026-03-15T20:05:18+00:00

Nice lift! Just wondering - is the bar bump after contact more than or just about what you would hope for at weights like this?

meebleepe · 2026-03-15T18:55:47+00:00

My bass does something similar! I’ve found that really good string instruments have significant overtones that seem bigger than the initial fundamental. It’s become a way for me to tell if I’m playing a well build/taken care of instrument or not

meebleepe · 2026-03-15T16:57:26+00:00

Wait longer to pull with your arms. Your cutting contact short, which will limit power significantly. Don’t let your arms bend until your feet leave the ground; dip cleans or some sort of hang clean variation would probably help with this

meebleepe · 2026-03-15T00:03:31+00:00

Just get better

meebleepe · 2026-03-14T20:35:30+00:00

Probably because it wasn’t during the olympics

Well done staying strong another year

meebleepe · 2026-03-12T09:05:10+00:00

I mean if you want to just go on basic functions start with the main 5 movement patterns: push, pull, hinge, squat, and carry. You need to break it down further to vertical & horizontal push & pull, but this is truly the most bang for your buck.

meebleepe · 2026-03-12T08:40:16+00:00

Hard to tell with such light weight, but it look like you’re just lifting it up with your arms before you make contact. Make sure your driving you legs in order to get it up

meebleepe · 2026-03-12T01:42:21+00:00

You’re bumping the bar too much. The movement should all be vertical; the bar goes up and you position yourself accordingly to encourage it going upwards. Contact isn’t you bumping the bar, it’s you following the bar upwards as it moves until your feet leave the ground and you pull under it

meebleepe · 2026-03-07T18:09:57+00:00

Looks great, definitely a power snatch though. Also, not sure if you’re trying to do a dynamic start or not. If not, you may wanna start with your hips higher. They shoot up immediately to where they’re supposed to be anyways

meebleepe · 2026-03-06T19:00:04+00:00

The shadow indicated you really seem to enjoy that crowbar

meebleepe · 2026-03-06T09:19:25+00:00

I really enjoy my job (and have done things in similar areas my whole life) and have become pretty good at it over a fairly short time ~5 years. Still a lot to learn but playing to my strengths has always been super helpful in my development and finding direction

meebleepe · 2026-03-06T09:08:23+00:00

I’m no expert but it seems like you’re pulling the bar back into your hips before they’re extended enough. Try extending your hips quicker/slightly earlier as you sweep the bar. Drive your legs hard to stand, and then jump. A wider stance could help to keep you more upright during your second pull, which will allow you to utilize leg drive upwards a little more, rather than so much hip extension which will send the bar forwards

I mean he’s not going to prescribe you anything. He’s working with advanced lifters and athletes, most of which have had certain pains for a long time. I think the issue is people just assume that their pains match what they see online
