Greg,
I know that you strongly advocate the high bar squat, yet whenever I high bar squat heavy I invariably start rolling up on the balls of my feet or even my toes. Because of this I switched to the low bar squat where I do not have this issue. However, I know the the high bar is better for Oly lifting which is what I specialize in. Any suggestions?
Btw, I'm fairly flexible so I don't thinks that's the reason. |

Jason -
That's a bit like cutting off your head because you have a headache. You may be flexible in certain respects, but if you can't sit into a full-depth Olympic squat, you undoubtedly have some kind of flexibility limitations (likely ankles if you feel your hips are flexible) - remember, flexibility is entirely position/movement-specific.
So my suggestion is to stretch and starting squatting Oly style. |

Is your Snatch Balance max supposed to be more than your snatch max? |

Angie -
It should be pretty close - if you practice the SB a lot, you may be able to do 5-10kg or so more than your best snatch. But some people snatch more than they SB. |

A bit off-topic here...
Been following the site's programming for a few months now. This was after doing the beginner and intermediate programs outlined in your book and DVD. Loving it all!!! My only concern is with deloading weeks; wondering if these are planned within the grand scheme of things (for the site I mean), or should we implement these as needed? I only ask because I also play basketball 2-3 times a week. If I was doing the training alone, it probably wouldn't be so much of an issue, but with ball (and I have a really hard time taking it "easy" once I step on the hardwood!!!), I feel like it might become one...
Any thoughts? |
