FLEXIBILITY/REHAB

I like the routine I have for this day now. I'll continue tweaking it, but I like the oly lift/stretching combo for rehab days.
Switched stretching to after rehab, like it's supposed to be.
- Rehab
- Overhead squats 55x5x3
- Snatch-squat-press 55x5x3
These felt difficult, kept falling forward. Is this because calves were tight without stretching beforehand?
- Power snatch/overhead squat 88x1/5x2
Going to try to work on oly lift form on rehab days for fun. I wanted to do a full snatch on these, but it was easy enough to do a power snatch so I found it hard to force myself to drop to catch it. I need to learn how to do this for snatches and cleans.
- Clean and jerk 88x1
Cooler than just re-racking the weight, I guess.
- Balance
Keeping this in the routine because its standard PT practice, having good balance is useful in itself, and I think it might help train the correct nerve patterns for using all the squatting muscles.
- Single-leg squats on bosu ball 10, 8
- Kickbacks on disk 20x2
- Side twists on half foam-roller 10x2
- Stretching
- Soleus on machine
- Gastroc on hack squat
- Hamstring holding bar
- Adductors on machine
- Seated groin
This is the best stretch I've found for the adductor muscle that gets pulled squatting.
- Seated glute
- Hip flexor x2
- Foam roller on IT band

So as I said, I've decided to do more oly lifts on rehab days. I'll keep it light, but I want to learn the form. Ever since seeing Jake's meet in San Diego, and then the olympics, I've started to like oly lifting more and more. The sport seems so "pure", and I like how you take weight from the ground over your head. Plus there's no gear, only one federation, etc.. So I'm not about to switch to oly, but I like the lifts and I find they make me feel healthier after I do them. I'll need some technique tips from Jake so I don't learn the wrong way like I did for squatting.

In other news, lately I've only been able to eat two plates at all-you-can-eat Indian buffet. This is extremely disappointing. My high mark was last summer, in the epic battle between me & Jake where I ate four plates. I don't know what happened, but I've been topping out at 2 plates for a few months now. I need to fix this -- maybe drink less water when I go?? Not sure. Phil: tips from a fatty are appreciated.
