Sounds about right to me, but out of the mentioned movements all I really focus on is the clean and press, I am trying to learn to snatch but I am finding it a very hard movement to pull off.

Hence the only real clarification from me would be in the clean and press, well the press part any way, with a mil press the bar is pressed up but slightly forward, with the clean and press the press ends with the bar straight up and the head pushed forward with the shoulders pushed back (head through the window)like a clean and jerk.

Well at least this is how I was taught to do it, I firmly believe this is the best full body movement there is, others may differ but it is my fav, it smashes me and makes me puff.

Yes I'm a fan boy, plus it scares most of the gym plebs away from the rack area where they do their concentration curls for the girls,LOL.

Clean then military press for reps is an old favorite of mine. It's good to know you can pick the weight up off the ground as opposed to from a shoulder height rack. I haven't done it seriouslyt since a single attempt earlier this year , 105kg for a few reps, vid on my training log.

The press is always head through the window style. Unless you are sitting on reclined bench or doing the 'bro' version behind the head.

OK I need some clarification here on some lifts and what their goddamn f**king correct names are lol...I'll detail what I believe some they are, so just correct me if I'm wrong.

Clean

Loaded bar on ground > explosively lift bar and shrug it real high then get under it in to the bottom of a front squat position, then front squat it up to standing

Power clean

Same as clean, but starting from knee height a lighter weight that you can pull higher in the second phase of the lift and then a slight dip of the knees to get under it and catch it higher and then stand up.

Clean and jerk

As per clean above > Slight bend in the knees then press up through the legs hard and push the weight over head and drop to a lunge stance of sorts to get under the bar, while keeping the bar where it is to finish with it above your head and arms locked > move back to standing position

Clean and press

Same as clean and jerk, but final stage is a strict military/front overhead press from shoulder height rather than dropping your body under the bar

yep. but towards the end before it was removed from the olympics it kind of became more of a standing incline bench press.

Am I right?

I really couldn't care less if others grunted at the gym

Someone I know recently got banned from our gym for being too loud and doing 1RM's

Love this comment.

Omg, seriously??? If you don't like your testosterone gym, go some where else. There are now heaps of womens only gyms available. It really sounds like you are in the wrong gym. There is no need for over reacting. Also if you can't or don't want to join a womens only gym, there is also a thing called earphones. Whack one of them on, listen to your favourite tunes, and stop whining.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
