I had to do a double take - deadlift? As in, pick up as much weight as possible? Not clean/snatch DL? Wow... I haven't read through every single archived cycle, but I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've ever seen you program in a simple deadlift.
What's your reasoning for this? Do you just want to see how 'strong' people are? I'm not grumbling, I'm just curious and excited. |

Want to get a baseline on folks - plus people like to DL heavy. |

Missed wednesday, and was short on time tonight, so I blended the exercises from Wednesday and Friday. Skipped tall snatch because I didn't have time to look to see how to do it, as well as extra work due to time.
Front squat 4-4-4-4-4 @ 75% 160#
Overhead Squat 3 sec pause at bottom 3-3-3-3-3 65% of snatch 90#
Snatch Pull 3-3-3-3 85% 120#
High hang snatch 2-2-2-2 60% 85#
Jerk 3-3 @ 70% 130#, 2-2 @ 75% 140#, 2-2 @ 80% 150#
Was a pretty good workout. My girlfriend arranged a trapeze class for us tomorrow, so I'll do the maxes on Sunday if I don't break my neck! I'm feeling some dullness in my knees (below the kneecap), and pain in my right wrist. I've begun wrapping the wrist, should I get wraps for my knees too? Is there a form error associated with these symptoms? Thanks! |

Well, was looking forward to this, then we got dumped on with a foot of snow, so I'm stuck in the house. Will be attempting a cupcake eating PR instead (love you mac!)...maybe lifting tomorrow if I'm lucky. |

Snatch - max
180 lbs
Clean & jerk - max
250 - PR
Deadlift - max
405
Had to do this yesterday because I knew I wouldn't be lifting today and had to skip the supplemental work as well. Deadlifting and not trying to keep my torso upright was very strange. It's been a while. |

I'd like to start following the wods. Should I just jump in during the middle of the cycle, or wait till the next cycle? In that case, when does the next cycle start?
Sn-56kg
C&J- 65kg
DL- 265# |

my numbers arent amazing when im at work, but ive been off for 6 weeks with a bad shoulder. felt good getting back to it this week. glad to be back around lifters, if only in the digital realm.
still landed a 150 snatch
c and j is only at 200 until i have confidence in my shouldr again and my DL is an impish 370.
going to try and correspond more this year, hope you all have a good holiday. |

Snatch 90kg(pr)
Clean and Jerk 105 kg
(cleaned 115 kg but hit chin on jerk and missed)
Deadlift 195kg (attempted/missed 200kg)
So on my jerks seems that my split is not long enough, and the fact that I hit my chin tells me that my head is in the way.
Any advice?

Scott -
Drive straight up and reach only with the hips and front leg - don't think of driving your chest/head through. Think of putting your hips under the bar. |

I see you told Leslie to start on Monday. Does that mean that tomorrow is going to be a rest day? |

May have been a dumb question....new to the site. Looks like every sunday is a rest? |

Not dumb, but yes, every Sunday is a rest day. Then usually Thursday or Friday is off - changes depending on the week/cycle. |

71"/178lbs
Sn - 155lb (5 lb PR); missed 160lb even though I pulled it to eye level.
C&J - 205lb (same as PR); missed 215lb (clean)
DL - stopped at 315lb because my back was feeling very fatigued and form felt off. PR is 335lb. Needless to say, base strength is a big limiter.
Watching a video of my lifts, I see that I am jumping back nearly 8 or 10 inches which causes issues receiving the bar. Not sure how to address this. |

Snatch
W/U, then: 155, 175, 190, 205Lbs (5# PR) - 205 Lbs
Clean & Jerk
205, 225, 240, 255(5# PR attempt-2x fail) - 240 Lbs
Deadlift
325, 375, 405
A tad sluggish today, probably due to being back on graves at work and then the killer "Benefit for Jess" cancer fundraiser we held today. Had a rough time with the Snatch, but still got it. Went for PR numbers on the C&J, but didn't make the jerk on the first one, and got caught in the hole on the second. Nothing left after that. D/L's went well. Felt a bit of fatigue and stopped at 405. |

Did this on Sunday, after 3 hours of snow shoveling...nowhere near PR's:
Snatch: 200#
C&J: 255#
no DL
Both were 20/30# respectively under my PR's, but my back was f'd from all of the damn snow. Looking forward to tomorrow. |

Sn 165# (heaviest weight overhead with snatch grip since I broke my wrist, still pretty sore)
C&J 245#
DL 455#
A buddy who's a pretty accomplished lifter commented "you've got no pop in your hips" on almost all of my lifts that day. And... he was right. Grrr. I have WORK to do. |
