The clean doesn’t have to be an overly technical lift to learn. Here coach Glenn Pendlay breaks the lift down into three easy-to learn progressions.

One of the most technical movements in sports is the Olympic barbell snatch. The power version of that lift is called the power snatch and there are about a million places on the internet that can show you how it is done. Here is yet another.
Every now and then, something works well and I may even get a PR or too, but they are always a precursor to getting crushed! This time, the tires crushed!
Started and finished very light this week but between the buns was the meat. A deload week, more or less.
Good form trumps all. The one rep you get sloppy on can injure you. Yup, one sloppy swing got me this week.
Fortunately, I was let of with a warning.
Somewhere along the way, I seem to have lost a bit of strength. I was on the Velocity Diet for 3 days but switched over to the tried and true Warrior Diet.
Tweet Monday, 5/25 No Training Tuesday, 5/26/09 Snatch, x 2; 65/65/70/75/80/85/. Singles, w/2 OHS: 88/93/93/98/98/103/103/105/105/105/110/110/. Power Cleans, x 3, one from the bottom, two from the mid hang: 110/115/125/135/145/150.
This was my best squat workout in a while. I got nice and deep on all reps and felt great at 90% (315) which tells me my 1RM max is about to make an increase. I stuck with the plan and did the reps. they will come in handy when I go for a new PR.
