Going to give oly lifting a try to change up my training. Have been doing 5/3/1 for 6 months or so but omitting is really fun and I want to learn the lifts. I’m planning on keeping up with the 5/3/1 progresses for a while but with more focus on olift assistance instead of PL assistance. I figure this is the best place to come and make sure I’m not doing dumb stuff in training.
I am looking into starting lifting at a local club but for now the gym I train at has bumpers and a platform.
Lifts are
SQ 225x5
DL 320x6
BP 165x6
OHP 105x7
From my last cycle if 5/3/1
Did cleans yesterday before squatting
Bar many x many
Trying to drill positions as per Glenn pendlays awesome videos.
40kg 3-4 x 3
50kg same
60kg 2x3
70kg 2x3
80kg 2x3
Only failed on a few lifts but my pulls are not consistent. Was catching some in a deep squat and others were more power clean height.
Squat (high bar)
175x5
210x3
235x2
Was lifting with a friend who lifted at a wl club watching my technique. Will try to get video up here soon.

lol… yeah man… this Russian Back Squat routine is leaving my lower back on the edge, so I don’t do anything heavy off the floor. That leaves time for curls 'n shit.
9/15/10
Clean off the High hang:
-up to 85kg 2reps
-then 90kg, 0,0,… 0,0,
—fuck
…I feel like I’ve lost some power, and I can’t keep as tight as I used to. I’ve done this weight before easy. But this is the 2nd time in two weeks that I can’t get 90kg off the high hang, so I am not sure whats going on.
–Could the high Back Squat volume be chipping at my speed a little bit???
Back Squat:
-115kg 6x2
–not hard, and my lower back is starting to feel better
Back Squat:
-285lbs (129.5kg) 4x4, Easy PR!!
–lower back is feeling good too
Reverse Row (legs tucked in) on the pull-up bar:
-3,3,2,1,2,1,1
–this shit is hard… but is the best way to get the mid+upper back strong.
–just gotta keep at it.
*Legs felt weak today. Not that much sleep, and did two Wingate Anaerobic Tests on the bike this morning for class, soo… yeah.[/quote]
ew… that’s gotta suck…
But, why were you back squatting and front squatting today then?[/quote]
Eh… I just felt like lifting to be honest, lol. If it was heavy squats, I wouldn’t have. But I only when up to 70%… it wasn’t quite ‘active recovery’ but it felt nice to at least some blood in the legs. Active recovery day is tomorrow though, I need to find a place to swim!
