Something like:
3-5mins between sets
10-15secs between each rep in the set
5 reps per set
5-6 sets

Maybe I should swing down Rab?
Not quite sure how I'll be working then (obviously), but there's no way I'll be able to leave .dk around the 10th (my b-day).
Not really into techno, but it'd be crazy to stalk you in .de.

Maybe the music is better described as Electro as techno means many things depending where you are in the UK never mind Denmark.

If you dont make it down Ill be sure to send you a birthday card :)

Im not quite sure what ou mean by that post? You saying that some say power cleans are cheating..but thts a lot of rubbish?



A power clean from the floor has a double pull so is not an outright strength builder but more of a technical operation. Unless you plan to feature in the 2012 olympics then celan from the hang always.

^^ vary them. Best of both worlds.

Also, people can Power Clean from the floor more than they can Hang Clean. So by that rationale then if more weight is lifted the stronger you will get overall speaking... shirley?

Nope the extra weight comes from momentum and the first half is like a really light deadlift (so doing nothing)

and who's shirley?

Powercleans are tres explosive so id say they have good carry over into powerlifting and sports like rugby... not into mincey ones like soccerball though :D

Perhaps but maybe Clean Pull would have more carry.
