I think correctly learning the snatch-grip high pull goes a long way to learning the snatch. A lot of people dive right into snatching, which can be hard to get the timing

First week of 4 day split is in the books! I gotta say I really like the change of pace. I spend a bit less time in the gym, as I do about 6 workouts a day instead of hitting everything. Also less fatigue as there is less compound work than I usually do. Less fatigue, but more soreness/dead feeling, if that makes sense.
I got my plan off T-Nation.com, it gave a guideline and exercises to choose from. Weights are a bit light as I am working out exactly how much I can do with this structure. Bench press was bit heavy for this I think, and I'll move them down a bit. I just did my normal 5x5, but I think it might be better to go lighter and really focus on working the pecs and all that.
Welcome back... again.... haha. Do you ever think you over analyze working out a bit to much? I mean all the different "programs" you've done, diets you've followed, I think you forget that you can just lift weights and get results. Day1 Chest and Tri's, Day 2 Back and Bi's, Day 3 Shoulders and abs, Day 4 Legs. Simple really.
I've been working out continuously for two months now (after getting lazy for a good 3yrs hiatus with kid's arrival )
I think I am doing good as far as the overall body goes. I started losing weight at a pace of 1~1.5lb/week, which I think is healthy. But one thing I noticed is that the belly fat is very stubborn. I've had a change of maybe 1inch less since the start of workout (after losing 9lbs in weight) and wife can notice changes overall but not the belly.
My current workout routine is 30min cardio on every off-day, and weight lifting 3 times/wk+20~25min cardio (switching between upper and lower body).
So, any input from the workout pros here would be appreciated. I'd like to know what exercise or advise I could add to my current routine that would target the belly fat.
1 year ago 495 was my 1rm squat now i can hit up for sets of triples. since then, i've added close to a 100 lbs to just my squat completely natty, all thanks to russian lifting methods lol
i was barely ever hurt too, i really took a hard look at my training philosophy
never grinding reps, perfect form on every set/rep, going just heavy enough with lotsa volume.

You cannot target fat loss in a specific area. If you are losing weight/fat at a consistent pace, the belly fat will shed eventually.
This. Fat is fat, the body burns it pretty much evenly. Everyone holds and loses their fat in different places. I lose it the fastest in my ass and love handles. My man-tits go last.
Been injured for a few months now, hurt my hip probably from a combination of squats/DL, one day just woke up and couldn't get out of bed. Now everytime i squat and DL it hurts just the slightest bit even with 225.
Any suggestions on rehab? Been rolling and smashing the crap out of it the last little while, slowly getting better.

inb4 just do bench forever.
overrolling might be a problem, at some point doing more soft tissue work will actually make an injury worse than better. stretch everyday but roll every other day, if even that
just squat/dl at the amount which does not cause pain and do a crapload of reps. slowly increase weight as pain decreases.
also mobilize your entire lower body by doing light impact conditioning such as running and swimming, biking. definitely helps

4 plates on incline god damn. Thanks for the help on the sleeves a while back I ended up grabbing rock tape I wanted the mark bell ones but due to our dollar being garbage and the SPD ones or the ones that are black/red I was told are $130-150 so didn't want to spend that much. I haven't used them yet but I'll probably end up keeping them definitely need something for my knees.
synthol guy shops at my work all the time. my gf even came up to me and tried to tell me about this guy who was messed up, and i was like LOL yeah i know that guy already
