  2. So is this a deloading week? Or is this a little bit of sympathy knowing we are all fat slobs this week cuz of Christmas? Haha..

    • It is rest twice as long as the work interval takes. Thus if you choose to row 4x500m and the first 500 took 1m37s you would rest 3m14s before starting the next round.

    • The time spent resting is double the time spent working (i.e. exercising at your chosen activity). Thus if you choose to row and completed the first 500m interval in 1m37s you would rest for 3m14s before starting the second round.

  5. Decided to do snatch and clean & jerk from box and some backsquats yesterday – doh ..

    Deload week or just holiday programming?

  6. BBG

    145# (10# PR… oops..)
    215# (another 10# PR…)

    Just as a note, I am deployed and doing this in a MWR ran facility. They get really pissy if you drop the weights… and they are bumper plates… cant wait to go home…

  7. Kyle that sucks. I”m also deployed. I could understand them getting pissy if they were steel plates. Which is all we have here.

    • yeah, I hear ya… We were all really excited when they got bumper plates in. the first time we did some heavy C&J and dropped them from overhead they posted signs saying we were not to drop the weight…. we argued but they are more worried about it ‘disturbing’ the meatheads that use the squat racks for curls/shrugs…. asshats…

  8. BBG
    155 snatch (i think its a 1pound pr)
    185 clean and jerk. climbed up too slowly

    Strength

    Row
    1:40 on 1,2,3

  9. Question concerning working up to a haevy snatch,clean&jerk, or squat…..
    – is there a certain amount of sets,reps/ or rest time prescribed when doing this, or how do you go about doing it?

  10. Asking for opinions please!!

    I have the money for a new bar. The only bar I have in my garage gym is a pos bar that you get with one of those iron sets from wal mart. So it’s time to upgrade. Is it worth the money to buy an Eleiko bar? Or should I get something from (most likely) Rogue or Again Faster?

    Thanks for your help =)

    • it is totally worth the money to get an eleiko bar, we just got one and it is phenomenal. anyone who says the differences are negligible between bars either sucks at the olympic lifts or has never lifted on one.

    • Depends on how much you want to spend. For 300 either Rogue or Pendlay will work really well (I prefer the Pendlay, but I do have the old version of Rogue bars – the newer ones are much nicer actually).

      I also have a Werksan bar & lifted a bunch of times on Eleiko bars when training at a local WL facility back in the day – the difference is there but to me to this day wouldn’t be worth $300 vs $800-$1k for a bar. I’d spend the difference on some other gear.

    • Thanks for the input. I ended up getting the Rogue bar and some more bumper plates. After reading comments and researching more I figured this would be better for now. If I really want an eleiko later, after I get my weight up on the Rogue bar, then I’ll pull money out of savings and get it =P

  28. 1) 225 (95%)
    Worked up to there and hit it second try. Felt heavy but fast. Attempted once more and failed.

    2) 260 (90%)
    After watching a ton of lifting videos I decided to try a squat jerk today. 225 was cake. 245 alright. 260 need a little more flexibility in the bottom. I did power jerk this tho. Power jerking has been feeling better than splitting lately.
    3) 295 (88%)
    Felt super heavy and just wanted to keep it relatively fast.

    No conditioning.
    2/2/2

  30. BBG
    1) 200# (PR) super excited. I’ve got more but I need to pay attention to my form in order to get it. I’ve added 15# in the last 1.5 months.
    2) 245 (95%) it went up so easy, so smooth that I added 20 pounds and went for another PR at 265. Failed to stand up with it 3 times. I think it was more a failure of my mind than anything else. I was on a high from the 200# Snatch milestone and wasn’t really giving it the focus I should have.

    Strength
    325# … I’m a bit of a wuss with the HBBS. I hate the feel of the bar up there. Legs had a bit more in them, but I would’ve whined about it too much.

    Conditioning
    1:34 (i actually stood up at 250 and realized I wasn’t done and sat back down)
    1:34 (wall at 400)
    1:36 (had to stop and readjust the straps halfway real quick, still hit 1:36)
    1:36 (FML, I can no longer feel my ass.)

    **a special little note. I have a leg length discrepancy of an inch that I just found out about in September and corrected in October. Your programming is helping me get my confidence back underneath the bar and I’m PR’ing in the process. Feeling great and loving it.

  33. Drove about 1500 miles in the last 3 days and I felt it today. Hips were slow and everything felt heavy.

    – hips felt very tight when squatting out of the bottom of the Snatch, Clean and Jerk felt sloppy all around technique wise. Chaucked it up to an off day.

    1600 at Firehouse: Treadmill work Jog 2miles Rest 2mins then:
    2min run: 8 incline / 8 speed x 2 rounds -1min rest between each
    1min run: 9 incline / 9 speed x3 rounds -1 min rest between each
    30 sec run 10 Inc. / 10 speed x3 rounds -1min restbetween each

    *QUESTION* When starting the snatch or the clean and jerk with a 10min or 15 min cap. This is after warming up and starting the clock with weights in the say 80% and up range? This feels like a silly question but Im always wondering if Im cheating by warming up to about my standard 80%(185#) Then starting my clock. I didn’t do this today and felt like I was rushing through with bad technique.
    -yes im a FNG!

  35. 29/m/5’11″/185

    Now, understand I have three kids, a dog, a cat, and a wife. I brought these weights in and placed them in my living room on the “expensive rug” and put my oly shoes on and went at it.

    Worked up to 165 on snatch
    Worked up to 245 c&j….my rug is jacked

    Played with some weights on FS

    Killed myself on the airdyne

    Now, imagine this work being done with kids watching and a barbell all.most smashing the book shelves every time I lifted the weight.
