I i got the eating on lockdown. Every 3 hours. 1gr of protein per lbs. of weight. 1.5 carbs per lbs. and around 2750 callories. i am in wrestling season right now and at 10 % body fat i weigh 140. But the program looks ok?
In fact I think I have googled an amazing site ExRx.net : Home [/quote]
That’s what I thought, but I definitely feel the soreness the day after I day high pulls. Perhaps I just don’t do them very well. Although I do overhead squats on the same day so that may be a contributing factor.

The reason why I am doubtful about the exercise specifically hitting the shoulders, ie direct shoulder work, is that the high pull is a accessory exercise to the powerclean and snatch. Both of these movements are more about using leg drive and the lower back to accelerate the bar so that the lifter is able to “duck under” and catch the bar. The shoulder play a very small part in relation to everything else. An analogy in my opinion would the traps in the squat (low bar position) that although they are working they are not specifically being used. If you are feeling sore in your shoulders after high pulls it is probably because you are “pulling” the bar up with your arms, instead of your legs. Direct shoulder work is military press and Arnold press my favourites anyway.

Hmm, I’d always thought that the high pull didn’t involve the legs. I’ve just been using my arms.
