    Recovering still. Felt a little weak in the weight room today.

    Stupid PE was probably what did it.
    National Guard came in and made us circuit train for like 20 minutes and wasted all my energy doing diamond pushups and touching my knees to my hands…

    Anyways…
    Warm Up Jog
    Dynamic Flex
    5x50m (Felt good. SHINS DIDNT HURT.)

    Cleans 2×2,2×2,3×1 @ 135, 155, 155
    Bench 5,4 @ 135, 155
    Started feeling weak after that last set on bench. Like light headedish. So I cut it short there.

    VIDEO:
    I got it. All edited in Vegas and put together. And Youtube goes down. Then comes back up without upload functionality… Awesome.
    It’s only 40 megs so I can upload it with like 5 minutes of uptime. Come on Youtube.

    EDIT: Bam bam boom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ny9slqJ563k

    Disclaimer of course. These are not my best lifts, not my best runs. That’s why I’m posting them. Looking for constructive criticism to what I can work on.

    Things I’ve already noticed:
    Possibly need more lean while sprinting. Foot strike seems a little forward?

    Lifting: Need to separate first and second pull.
    Also, keep head down while starting lift. Putting my head up leads to me almost falling back while racking the weight.

    Thanks a lot to anyone who views it.

    I liked the run, hallways can be tough to run in especially with the Oly Janitoral staff putting the big can in the middle of the hallway. Your right foot and leg rotates outward which I will address in the last paragraph.

    The first lift looked fine. The last clean worries me, because your back buckled or it looked that way on video. Your first 2 sets had pretty good bar speed. I think the bar starts too far in front of your shins. Same problem with the right leg here in these lifts as with the running.

    I am kind of reluctant to point out the part about your leg kinematics, but I am going to address a bigger point here. Even with the video it will be tough to address what’s entirely at issue here. There is an imbalance which favors your left leg to your right leg in force production in two entirely different activities. It could a mobility/flexibility issue, a strength issue, a hereditary issue, or a combination those. I think it compromises your lifting and running ability. However, do not work your right leg in isolation to fix this problem. I think a little more general training at submaximal loads might be good for you and since schools going to be out don’t worry about the weights as much. Do 2-3 weeks (4 would be optimal) of the general work and cut back on running and lifting to 2 days a week and then video yourself then.
