| I find that holding my breath has been a major help for my squat and deadlift. It's not just holding your breath in though. You have to be trying to breath out and holding that in like you're about to push a car. Keeps my core stable so I can lift like a boss. |

After a powerclean, what is the right way to put it down without throwing/dropping it?
I tried to make it land on my thighs and set it down, but i get a strain near my shoulder. |

| I see a lot of people doing these "half" bicep curls. They go from bottom to parallel (to the floor), they repeat that 7 times, then they do parallel to the top for 7 reps, and then they do 7 normal ones. Any reasoning behind this? I tried it myself and saw no improvement over doing regular curls, actually it seemed to do much less. |

"21s" -- e.g. a form of supersets.
Waste of time for most people unless they're advanced and need some programming like that. Chances are, they weren't actually the people that needed something like that so yeah. |

| The idea is the first 7 works the lower part of the bicep, the next 7 the top part, then the whole muscle when it's tired. |

Ok the powerclean is kicking my ass. I literally cannot do it without hitting myself in the collarbone. I've made a ton of adjustments but I just cant make it seem smooth, or look like the videos. Every other SS workout I can do to some degree but I miss PCs by a mile.
I was wondering, if I can't find someone to coach me on it, how bad would it be if I just did barbell bicep curls instead of powercleans? At least its something, currently I'm short a whole exercise from my workout. |

keep your elbows high and forward. It will expose the meaty part of your shoulders for the barbell to land on. |

Take vids and post in the olympic thread!
If you really can't do them though, Barbell Rows are the standard replacement for cleans (although not nearly as good imo, cleans are my second favorite lift, and that's only because deadlifts are fucking amazing) |

I'm interested in looking a little less flabby. I'm 5'11, 180 lbs. I don't have a lot of it, but my new years resolution was to try and look nicer. Can anyone recommend some good exercises I can do from home until I can afford to buy a membership at a gym? I don't own weights  |

Dropping weight is mostly diet... you need to fix that
aside from that bodyweight exercises are what you wanna do. Here's something about that:

Keeping my elbows high and forward seems to drive the bar into the neck. How can I avoid that? I'm honestly trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong.
PS. Not allowed to take vids in the gym unfortunately. If someone on this thread has the patience I'll walk them through exactly what I'm doing and what seems to go wrong. |

My gym doesn't have it, but if it did, I don't see how a PT is gonna approach you and say "NO, YOU CANNOT RECORD YOURSELF"

| my gym has the same policy. I'd just ignore it imo. I think the policy is there mainly to prevent acts of perversion. |
