One exercise or movement that puts you in heaven is…

Have started learning snatches actually using Greg Everetts 10 step progressions.

Overhead squatting a couple times a week. Still shit at it....but its getting better quickly.

I imagine the Actual snatch would definitely cause problems currently. But i can press the empty overhead then shift hands out to snatch grip, with proper internal rotation and squat it without feeling anything at all.

Something new to learn. God damn they are humbling exercise.

I think so.

A few overhead squats are always good for warming up my hips and shoulders pre- HB squatting. Can actually bend my arm under the bar for HB squats after even just hold the overhead position for a while haha.

I did fronts the other day, got bruises now on both my shoulders. I did the criss cross hand method.

Clean and jerks look interesting, would be good to get into those.
 
You might want to learn to squat with a front rack if you want to learn cleans then haha. Its alot more stable.....just requires more flexibilty.

I use a front rack now, how else would i front squat? What i have noticed is i need to look in a mirror to get my foot positioning right once i have the bar on me because with fronts squats i can't look down at my feet. I took a guess the first time and my right foot was naturally placed about 20cm behind the left foot, way off.
 
Cross hand method is not front rack. Sure its racked on the front...but clearly im referring to the position you take when you receive a clean. IE the front rack position.

Ah ha now i understand your Bodybuilding Lingo;)

I tried the front rack arm position the other day and couldn't do it, feels completely wrong.
 
So its something i can get better at? Felt like my wrists simply couldn't get low enough or i had to lean forward to get them low enough.
