  1. The power movements are one motion; bar to ceiling. I alternate movements on days so day 1 will be CJ and day 4 will be snatch. Typically 30-40% of PR for reps. No drop sets in the power movements.
     
  2. I am an experienced Oly-lifter but I've got an injury that precludes from going for max effort in the Oly lifts. Powers are awesome as there is little to no technique involved as you're not receiving the bar in the squat. You can add a shallow catch as well.
     
  3. My biggest hurdle with working out is the amount of food that I eat/my protein intake. I pretty much only eat one meal per day which is dinner. Getting protein is tough.

    I was making/eating these for breakfast: No-Bake Breakfast Oat Bars I use them for a mid-day snack, now.

    Started drinking bone broth in the early morning several months ago (two of these packets each morning: Bare Bones Instant Beef Flavored Bone Broth) and I use those oat bars as a mid-day snack.

    Interesting split these days. Sorinex racks look super nice. I have a Rogue rack, does the trick.

    My goodness!

    Do workout to keep oneself healthy.

    But eat unhealthy UPF to keep oneself unhealthy.

    Might as well don't waste effort the do the workout.
     
  6. Powerlifting means no technique?

    While it maybe "grinding" there is certainly a hell of a lot of technique doing Powerlifts.
     

  7. It's not powerlifting bro.

    Power-movements involve continuous movement. No catch and minimal hip extension. Has nothing to do with "powerlifting". At all.

    You're "powering" the weight to the finish. No catch.

    A lot of ppl are afraid of the snatch movement and this helps to demystify it.

    FFS. PLing is for ****.

  8. So I've off all gear for about a year. 50mg of micronized DHEA at bedtime and occasional GH. I measured my protein intake and it's hovering around 200g. About 100 of that is supplemental (shakes).

    My supplements (general):

    Pure Encapsulations PureGenomics multi
    1-2g vitamin C (AA)
    600mg CoQ10 at waking
    800mg IP-6
    Vitamin D (varies)
    100mg DHEA
    1-2g Citicoline
