Or Olympic lifts.

I've been doing power cleans for the past 18 months or so, and am thinking of incorporating snatches.

Those puppies will torch you like nothing else. Well, maybe high-rep squats or deads, but with much less spinal load.



That's one of the fun things about most crossfit boxes: they incorporate a variety of lifts in the WOD to maximize the lean muscle and not turn you into a body builder. (If you have the equipment at home you can do WODs by yourself or replicate them at your local gym)


More reasons to love my gym.

A lot of weights. I'd say "a ton", but that'd be undercounting just 45#s by a factor of 4.

3 power cages, with lifting platforms and bumper plates. DBs to 200# (I'm still at about 120#). Another squat cage. A few Smiths to keep the bros off the real boys' toys. Recent some TRX gear (ring pull-ups FTW). 10 chinning bars, a couple of dips stations, GHR, bar jacks, chalk, and other goodness. Lots of machines for people who like that sort of thing.

And a really serious night crew.


damn, I thought you worked out at my gym, but the DBs there only go to 173#.
