If You Could Only Do Two Lifts

Deads and clean & press. The rest, I’d do a lot of BW stuff.

Deads and bench homes!

This is my answer too.

Do none of you know of the bear? Coach John Davies “invented” it I believe.

This is copied and pasted from his site.

  • grasp bar in “Clean” grip, hands slightly wider than shoulder width apart

  • stand upright, feet shoulder width apart, where you comfortably drop into full Front Squat

  • initiate movement by eccentrically dropping in neutral position whereby bar is either above, at or slightly below knee level

  • vigorously begin pulling of bar upwards in Power Clean motion, ensuring bar stays tight to the body, elbows up high and ripping elbows through and under to “rack” position. This start position is basically what is termed as the 2ND pull as the bar accelerates tremendously during this portion of the lift. Now I prefer leaping off the ground and making a hard foot stomp on the ground but that is not a requirement to do the lift properly. Within top Olympic lift coaches there is a variety of opinions on the stomp but I prefer to do so to emphasize the hard striking on the ground that is important in other athletic actions.

  • Elbows should be in high rack position with torso taught. Now begin descent into rock-bottom depth of the Front Squat. At the lowest portion of this movement, squeeze the lower abdominals tight and begin ascent.

  • As you are ascending begin driving the weight above your head and locked out with arms fully outstretched.

  • Not quite finished yet and actually this is where the “fun” starts. Begin descending into Squat (Olympic style) as barbell comes behind your head. I prefer to use a quick descent into a rock-bottom depth, but again take your time to learn this movement and be very comfortable with technique.

  • From the basement of the Squat, rebound out of this portion and drive weight above head, locking outstretched arms.

  • Return barbell to start position as you have no completed 1 rep out of your set of 5!

I think if you worked up to a good amount of weight in this move you would be one strong explosive bastard.

Squats and Deadlifts

I enjoy deads and military presses more than any other lifts so in the interest of keeping me sane and awesome, I’ll go with those two

51

conventional deadlifts and overhead press/jerks. that should be a new lifting fed imho…the “jfrdl federation” lol (jerk from rack and dead lift).

52

eccentric fly to champagne press and one-armed kettlebell snatch-to-presses.
