July 27, 2012 By Gregor Winter

  • lifts from the hang
  • [06:44] squat mobility exercises
  • [53:20] how to approach maxes
For 110kg Clean & Jerker Glenn suggests:
  • 3 or 4 singles, or couple of doubles @40-50kg
  • 1 or two singles @70kg, then singles @80,90,100kg
  • from there see how you feel that day, use common sense, 104, 107,111kg

Why lifts from the hang feel easier:

  • above the knee is easier – entire posterior chain is at top tension, back lever arm is at its longest
  • below the knee can move more weight – longer time to accelerate the bar
