twig Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 My 30lb blob in left hand, 4 5Kg plates in right. Clean and press. I've got it several times recently, but with gaffer tape round the plates, tonight I tried without the tape. Lessons learned. 1. You REALLY have to ramp up your pinch going through the vertical curve of the clean. Far more so than I realised. 2. An errant 5Kg plate will go through a plasterboard wall like it's not even there. 3. A 30lb blob REALLY hurts when it lands on your bare foot, even if it's bounced first!

Guest Bonzi Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 (edited) Whoops! Your best avatar yet! I liked his last one. Sum-thin about it. The rest of this response is jocularity. http://www.oomyungdoe.com/achievements.asp If you drop that blob on your foot enough then you can jump over buildings as per Far East TV. Martial arts require repitition of stone punches et al. Ain't satellite TV great? Edited August 15, 2007 by Bonzi Quote

Koura Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Block landing on your foot... Yeah. Sounds familiar. And what the hell is that problem on your Godzilla? Is he happy or what? Quote Niko Eerola, Finland http://www.youtube.c...ser/Ombombo#p/u
Guest Bonzi Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Hospital report's in. Foot's broke No one had much sympathy for me today, can't think why! Sorry, twig, I misread your post. That was not an appropriate response from me. I hope that the break heals soon. Be positive and keep on keepin' on. Quote
