I seem to remember you saying once that if your clean is technique limited, you can go more than 105% of the clean. Do I remember that right? My max clean is 150, my max FS is 190 and my deadlift was 305 last I tested, but probably a bit higher now. What weight should I pick for my clean grip deadlifts?

Yes - But make sure whatever weight you use is one you can pull with CLEAN mechanics, not with anything-goes deadlift mechanics. Find a load that's tough but definitely not maximal for those two doubles - it will go up the next couple weeks. |

I'd like to buy some sandbags. Do I buy the fillers and then put them in the Ultimate Sandbag? |

Jason -
You don't need to buy the fillers, but they're helpful. If you don't, you can purchase extra-thick zip-lock bags and fill 80% or so with sand, then duct tape shut and throw those inside. Use rags or old clothing to fill out the bag without adding more weight if you need to. |

Intresting that you added sandbags to your store. My buddy and I made some this weekend from some duffle bags we got a an army surplus store. Needless to say I was very humbled by the 40kg sandbag snatch. |

could you talk for a second about the rope lashes. Looks like a burner on the shoulders and grip and a lot of metabolic work. What's your take on this exercise ? |

They're legit. Alternating arms and both arms together. Done properly (or at least the way I want them done), it's actually a lot of rotational work and midline stabilization.
Check our Leo here (end of video):

Vs. James here:

Leo had plenty of practice before that video, whereas we just threw it at James with little instruction. You can see how much faster of a cycle time Leo has, which is what I'm looking for. Of course, what James is doing is harder per swing, but Leo's is a little more metabolically taxing. |

Would this exercise performed by Alexander Karelin be similar to the rope lashes?

what is the length and thickness of the rope. Looks like about 1 1/2" manila maybe 50 feet long? |
