No sandbag -- any recommended sub?

Thanks,
Sam

Sam -

You can try doing as similar a movement as possible with a single big DB or KB - just don't drop it on your head.

Hey Coach E.

would you mind taking a look at my snatch?

I'd appreciate a critique of my lift, also...

hope this URL works?

I heard about your CF Affiliation. I just wanted to say I love what you guys do and will still proudly support Catalyst and the Performance Menu.

Best,

Never been able to meet Greg or Robb, but for the past year I've learned so much about fitness and nutrition from both of their websites. PERFORMANCE MENU AND ROBB WOLFF TILL I DIE!

Greg

On behalf of all of those in the CF community you've helped, I'd just like to extend my sincerest thanks. Via the Pmenu and this site, you've been hugely influential in the manner in which we run our affiliate. I have had the pleasure of meeting all of you (Greg and Aimee at your seminar at Primal, and Robb was one of my L1 coaches) and found you all to be extremely professional, with a genuine desire to improve the fitness world by imparting your hard earned knowledge. You'll continue to be a resource for us for as long as you keep putting the info out there. From my trainers and I, we wish you the best.

Troy - SBCF

I heard about the affiliation being revoked. I just wanted to say that I have and will continue to use your incredible resources, and I'm sorry about how you've been treated. Luckily most people at this point are smart enough to discern beyond the CF affiliates page.

FS: 175x4x5
Sn Pull: 145x3x4
Jerk: 155x3x2, 165x2x2, 175x2x2

Shoulders are smoked

Have started videoing some lifts and see that I am not receiving the bar with straight arms on any of my jerks, even the light weights, so I am pressing out every rep. I "kind of" knew that anyway but its looks particular bad on video. Need to fix that.

Thanks for the programming Greg.
Mike Haytack 9 | 2009-12-16
Greg/Aimee, ef it! needless to say--keep on keeping on. i'd still pay to see you take out asstro!

Your secret soldier,
Mike

Quick question: I only have access to weights M-F (no gym access on W/Es). How could I modify your programming to fit my schedule?

Love what you folks do!

Greg M -

You can try going M-F by moving Saturday to Friday. It may be fine, or it may kill you. What I would suggest is initially keeping Thursday's workout lighter than RXed and cut some sets down. Also, drop 1 conditioning workout for the week. See how that works. If you can handle it, try building up to the full meal deal, and see if you can manage it.

Joshua McMahon 18 | 2009-12-16
I am new to this site and want to make sure I am understanding it. The number in front of the "x" is the number of reps, an the 2nd number is the amount of times you do those reps? or is it the other away around? Sorry to bother yall with such a basic question
Aimee 19 | 2009-12-16
Joshua-
Check the info link next to the WOD. It will answer all of those types of questions for you.

I tried that. He moves around too much.

Gant, that's funny stuff.

Hey Greg - Just wanted to let you know your link to OPT's site should be .ca instead of .com. The link goes to a site with a bunch of ads on it.

Thanks for sharing the Chicks vs Dudes video. Awesome!

For those of us struggling to learn Oly Lifting out on the plains of Montana, videos like this are inspiring and good learning tools.

Love the PM too!
