I haven't mastered the power clean technique but that didn't stop me from practicing it(even with bad form and lousy technique).

Only today i realize my mistakes and got corrected but my efforts wasn't in vain, it helped me transition fast if not jerry would have been vomiting blood because i would've "catch no balls".

don't defeat yourself in your head, nobody was born knowing how to lift everyone has to put in the effort and hard work to learn, correct and progress and nobody said you can't make mistakes though just don't get injured.

Depending on what you are trying to jerk

Breathing pattern is really important whenever you want to 'jerk'

Hehehe, think the gals (other than Herman) are more flexible

Shirley or anybody, could you tell me what is the general population's understanding of the term "flexible"?

Paiseh i really don't understand it when people say that i am flexible when they have never seen me doing splits or such. I am doing normal range of motion 99.9% of the time.

The medical definition of flexibility is the ability of the muscles to lengthen. But 99.9% of the time i am not teaching stretching.

Do you mean the ability to "flex" as in "bend"?

yes, the ability to "bend" or "stretch" smoothly.
That's the meaning in terms of the mind of general people.

To me being flexible is being pliable and fluid in your movement. If you compare yourself and us, you can see we are stiff in our movement. And if you compare yourself with Coach Sonnon you can see the difference in the degree of flexibility. The movement is fluid as opposed to being kinda rigid when you are flexible.

The fluid flexibility of his movement in this link - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0aIuCIpEbk

Same here with the woman in the link but the flexibility is different from Coach Sonnon.

IMHO the general population's view of flexibility is mostly hamstring flexibility, i.e. if you can touch your toes with your knees locked, that's "flexible" to them.

Jordon · Post by **Jordon** » Mon Dec 08, 2008 9:15 pm

nah i think its just that cos we are too inflexible, so u seem a lot more flexible. doing the things we can't do, even if its the normal range of motion haha

Wait till you see him do flow fit, that is not normal range of motion.

I see. Let's be specific when we talk medical terms next time ok.

Flexibility = the ability of the muscles to stretch, ie elongate. There is no reference to movement at all. Larger change in length = more flexible.

Mobility = the ease of movement in a given range of motion. Whether the muscles are fully stretched or not is not considered in this definition.

What the public means when they say "flexibility" is actually "mobility", which can also be called "agility".

Hmm, they should come up with a book "glossary of medical terms in general population use".

Not normal meh?

Post by **galapogos** » Mon Dec 08, 2008 10:37 pm

Nah, they don't mean agility. But yeah they get flexibility and mobility confused. But they're both related anyway.

agree with being able to 'bend' and 'stretch' more than average person.. being the mindset of most people. example: Contortionists..
