My routine at the moment:
Mon - Squat and Deadlifts
Wed - Bench
Fri - Upper Back/Shoulders
Assistance work at the end of the workouts as well.
I really want to start doing oly lifting, is it possible to put some in while keeping my current routine? My form on the C&J is fine, Im worried about the snatch though, my form is pretty crap for it.
I reckon I could probably do about 200-220lb's for a max. on power cleans, not that much but it could probably increase quickly if I started doing them regularly.
Any advice repped =)

How to incorporate Oly lifting in a Powerlifting routine?
Tell me what you regard as your greatest strength, so I will know how best to undermine you. Tell me of your greatest fear, so I will know what I must force you to face. Tell me what you cherish most, so I will know what to take from you. And tell me what you crave, so that I might deny you.

Squat and Deadlifts are big movements and I personally like to dedicate a ton of time too them. They are also big powerlifting movements, so if you add another exercise that day you need to make sure you can focus all of your energy on a single exercises without being burned out from another one.

I usually squat first, then deadlift. You reckon incorporating some C&J's on this day would be ok? I was thinking perhaps friday, cuz I do shoulders that day anyway, and you still get the whole weekend to recover... maybe its not enough though? maybe I could add them in on a day like thursday.?

thats what I was just about to say, do it on friday, the oly lifts lifts will take a lot out of you, and on the oly lifts youll work your back and your shoulders to(actually they'll work your whole body) I would do the oly lifts before I do any of the upper back or shoulder exercises.
There is no reason to live if you cannot do the deadlift
big fuzzy and tator squat to much..... not

i personally dont think it matters at all...oly lifts dont take much out of me at all, its jsut explosiveness...im never sore from them, yeah i get really tired afer a set but drink some water and 2-3 minutes later once ive caught my breath im fine...
i try to clean at least twice a week, and i havnt really incorporated snatches in yet due to im still workign on my form alot
