i do a c&j and snatch day once a week currently have: >snatch day 1 >clean day >jerk day >snatch day 2 >rest >snatch+c&j fwiw, i back squat on snatch days and front squat on clean days
>rippetoe >oly coach pick one, and don’t pick the strength coach if you think that a clean pull is the same as a deadlift, you will never clean as much as you could
Henry Price
>not reading the pastebin anyway, expect to not touch a heavy c/j for a while with a coach. idk what's wrong with your back squat strength, should be 50lb higher given your FS
Here you go. Clean is usually 75%-80% of your back squat. And most people usually can jerk around what they can clean (if not more). And yeah, you're going to make very rapid gains when you first start, mostly due to improving technique
Logan Cruz
i think this ratio of fs/bs is pretty solid, 84% that’s pretty good while i agree that it’d take a while to get heavy cleans, he could muscle his way through to a 100kg clean in a couple months
Leo Baker
Yeah theyre snug, feel perfectly fine. I wouldnt be caught dead without them
Leo Butler
Just ordered my rehbands 5mm. Do you guys normally yse 5 or 7 mm? I've heard people say 7mm are basically for powerlifting
Tyler Stewart
>new to oly lifting, ~3 weeks in >max testing snatch and c+j today so I know what weight I can comfortably work with for proper sets >lose the bottom of the squat at 105lb C+J >try to bail but only drop the bar on one knee somehow >it's swollen as h*ck other than that today went cool tho 340x1 skwat and 105 snatch too
Juan Davis
This sound like a good plan, do you do any pulls? if so when Ok should I train my pulls before or after squatting? Also is it bad that I don't do any back squat but only front squats? I hate back squats because it feels uncomfortable and awkward to go up however when doing front squats I feel like my legs are in a better position to generate force and I feel more solid
Anthony Adams
guess I'm the weird one >200kg bs, 160kg fs >120kg c/j :( I think I'm just a squatting freak with a very good rebound reflex
