Hey, what gives? I thought you stated earlier that the most recent cycle was gonna be three weeks?
I'm interested in what factored into your decision to stop it after two?
were people coming off as too fatigued in their comments? |

Trust the coach. Thanks Greg and Aimee. I hit PRs in both lifts the past 2 weeks. Snatch 185# (that was a year end goal) and Clean and Jerk 240# (goal is 250# by year's end). |

LP -
We had quite a few PRs, but also a good amount of fatigue, and numbers that weren't high enough. The 3rd week in such a cycle nearly always is lower in weight anyway, so I decided to switch early and get people prepped for a strength cycle (which is really 4 weeks, with a transition week (this one) first).
If you're dying to do a third week, repeat last week, but get rid of all drop sets - only daily maxes and squats. |

Thanks Mr. E.
I'm followimg a couple weeks behind, so I haven't actually started the cycle yet; it did look pretty taxing, but I think it's exactly what I need right now (classic lift emphasis).
Thanks for all the time you spend planning and analyzing these FREE workouts... over the past few months I have repeatedly realized what a frickin genious you are as I hit PR after PR.
At the end of that 12 week beast I just finished, I nailed a 200 kg back squat, 130 kg C+J, and 105 kg snatch (all PRs). I was wondering if these numbers are proportional, or if something is askew in my strength to power ratio? |

Nice work. With a 200 kg BS (and nothing else to go on), I would expect more along the lines of 125/150. So you're right that you're largely in need of some classic lift emphasis work in order to make better use of your strength. |

Made some assumptions as to my maxes, haven't high-bar back squatted, Cleaned, Jerked or Push-pressed for a max in a few months...
Back Squat: 243#5-5-5-5-5
Cln DL: 228#5-5-5
PP: 155#5-5-5-5-5
Jrk Dip Sq.:223#5-5-5
3 sets:
Pull-ups (pullups have sucked lately...higher bodyweight + lack of pull-up work made these suck especially bad) 8/7/6 reps
GHD sit-up: 15/14/13 reps
Finally back to the o-lifting, looking forward to a comp in the middle of January...going to be great to be back on the platform again! |

Back Squat: 265#5-5-5-5-5
Cln DL: 275#5-5-5(went for heavier load than % of max)
PP: 155#5-5-5-5-5
Jrk Dip Sq.:335#5-5-5(went for heavier load than % of max)
I am looking forward to this cycle personally as I feel I am in need of some pulling work and back squatting!
Thanks for the Programming!

Riddler -
It's not a conditioning workout. Check the "info" link for an explanation of the tempo prescriptions (e.g. 21X0) and compound sets. |

did pullups straight through with 2 min btwn sets, then GHD same way. Is that right? I guess I should have started pullups with lower weight then added each set too, correct? |

Felt pretty good today although legs were a bit heavy to start out with. Last week was tough with some residual fatigue and some tenosynovitis bugging my left hand again at weeks end, so I had to skip Saturday's effort. The previous 2 weeks were good - challenging physically and mentally. This will be a nice change. |

Looking forward to the strength cycle, Greg. Thanks, once again, for providing world-class programming at no cost. Your integrity and leadership in the s&c community are valued and respected. I'd trying to make it to your lifting seminar at Robb's in March... In the meantime, I'll jump on board your programming full-bore this time (instead of the half-assed ways I've done it before). Thanks again.

Today marks my first stab at your programming Greg.
I have been doing the mainsite crossfit WOD for some time now, and have started to feel a little restless and unfocused. I did some research, and decided I wanted something with a little more strength emphasis. Long story short, I stumble across your site, and the rest is history.
I thank you for putting this information up free of charge, and look forward to participating in it.
