374 snatch (American record before they changed the weight classes)
440 CJ.

I competed at the national level. Would be competing still but injured my shoulder in an accident, and properly racking a clean is agonizing.
 
Hey bro, I train with the Olympic lifts too.....I incorporate them in my routine with my movements for power right now.....Sometimes I use a Bill Starr style program training m-w-f or tu-th-s on a heavy-medium-light system and I will do either Power Clean, Squat, and Bench, or Power Snatch, Front Squat, Incline...or any sort of combination of an explosive movement, followed by a squat of some sort, followed by a compound upper body movement.......Right now I am doing something a little different, Sun I do explosion and Lower Body heavy and Wed I do it light...Mon I do upper body heavy, Thurs I do it light....I just started it Sun, i will post it.....Please feel free to offer any input......

wow. i never knew you were that strong.
 
Well, I have very good genetics for OLing. Better than for PLing, if you must know. And unlike most people, I started out with a good coach from day one. A fact for which I am very greatful. And I wish he was still around today to put his foot in my ass when I have workouts like I did yesterday.

Stick with it, as it takes years.

Do you have a coach?

Actually...no i dont. I have a friend online that helps train me Josh Henkin he is a Strength Coach from Az. Most of what i have learned for it was from massive amounts of studying i have done. I think the only movment iam having problems with right now is the clean and jerk. Its lacking very bad. My snatch is by far my most impressive lift. I just hope to get good balance between the 2. Iam going to start working on secondary with with jerks and stuf to get it right. The problem iam having is the transfer to the jerk. I hope i work everything out.. have any advice u could give me?


thanks,

lifter
