June 11, 2013 Lower / Posterior Chain


  • Deadlift: 405*1 425*1 455*1 475*1
  • Hanging Power Snatch: 135*3 145*1 150*2 155*1
  • Hanging Power Cleans: 165*3 185*1 205*X -tired
  • Hanging Snatch-Grip High Pulls: 185*3 205*2 215*1
  • Bird-Dogs: 5, 5
45 minutes

Good session, felt like going a tad heavier on deadlifts.  Snatches went well,  hadn't done cleans in 3 weeks, was pretty tired by the time I got to them. Read an article on snatch-grip high pulls, liked the idea so I added them in.  Threw bird-dogs in sort of as an afterthought. I was thinking as well that I may move deadlifts further back into the rotation on these days.  If I'm not going to be maxing on them, or near my max on a day, why bother doing them first, if they're going to fatigue the o-lifts that I do after.  By the time I got to cleans I was just wiped out today.  What I think I'm going to do from now on (when not maxing deadlifts) is start with the high pulls since that'll get my nervous system primed.  Then move to snatches, since the weight on them will seem lighter after doing a heavier similar movement in high pulls, then do the cleans. So cleans will still be third, but won't have deadlifting ahead of them, and then finish off with deadlifting.
