Just thought it would be worth asking, since in the beginner program, Greg calls for a 105% snatch deadlift; does the 105% in this case refer to my 1RM snatch as well? Sorry if this is obvious :-S Cheers!!! Greg Everett 2 | 2009-02-24 Eric - Yes, the % is of your max snatch. Normally I note that, I just forgot this time. Aimee 3 | 2009-02-24 she is a badass. Eric 4 | 2009-02-25 Thanks Greg! Have another question. Since I consider myself a beginner at weightlifting, and since that also means my 1RM snatch is still pretty low, should I be concerned by the fact that a 105% snatch dealift for 2 sets of 2 reps (as per the beginner program in your book) feels very easy? Is this by design? I'm new to weightlifing per say, but not to the iron game, so my deadlift is "decent", at least by the standards of my weightlifting prowess... Suggestions? BTW, your book SERIOUSLY rocks!!!!

However, the idea is to strengthen the positions and movements specific to the associated classic lift - so the weight should never exceed your ability to lift it correctly. ken c 7 | 2009-02-25 front squat (3x5) 225 245 265 275 255 snatch pull 205 (2x3) clean and jerk 185 (1x3 from yesterday) metcon 3:02 2 pood kb 32" box did the crossfit row and push press wod yesterday so heavy push jerk was not going to work well tonight.
