If ...I don't see why an apology was necessary. If I'm having issues with a technique, and a trainer tells me <i>"they're going to be in the workout"</i> instead of re-explaining things in a useful manner (short words and diagrams, if necessary), then she should be the one apologizing. <br /><br />Also, expecting someone to master deads AND squats AND hang cleans in a single session is ridiculous. Each of these deserves their own session (or several.) <br /><br />You are a more patient woman than I. <br /><br />For squats, see EFS's video series <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkF9QD7oCIA" rel="nofollow">"So You Think You Can Squat"</a>.

Anything with a clean is super hard, and I think deadlifts take more concentration than any other lift. <br /><br />I know what you mean about popping your butt out; it doesn't seem right at first, but after a while you'll feel what a difference it makes.<br /><br />It's one of the paradoxes of weight-lifting, I think, that you need to start with a light weight so you don't kill yourself, but it's tricky to get the right form with light weights. When you increase the weight you can sort of feel it better, everything makes sense.gingersnapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17387125553595180101noreply@blogger.com
