jj, I love the basic outline of the new programming. It's actually pretty similar to what I plan on running in a few months. I made a lot of progress on Texas Method last fall, so I can't wait to get back to it on it when I finish my cut and get my calories back up. If you're not away, it's a 3 day split with a volume day, a recovery day, and an intensity day, which will be Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for me. Given my new interest in the olympic lifts, I am going to add at least one, if not two, olympic lifting days on Tuesday and possibly Saturday. As you know, I'm still just working on technique for cleans, so I have no idea what I will do for programming, but I'll worry about that when the time comes.
I was going to put in my two cents regarding diet, but between the comments above and the fact that you're working with Chef Bob, you should have it covered. I would however recommend you watch some videos put out by Eric Helms of 3DMJ. Over the summer he put out a series of videos called the Muscle and Strength Nutritional Pyramid (as if you haven't heard enough about pyramids lol). It's a six part series, each video is like 20 minutes or so, but he does an excellent job of covering a lot of material and making it easy to follow and understand, easily worth the time it take to watch. I don't want to clutter your journal with all the videos, but here's the link to the first part and you can just follow the links to each subsequent part.

Awesome stuff JJ! Keep it up!!!!!
Well that's why
A) I prefaced it with "I think"
and
B) I still have a fat gut and haven't been losing weight
I'm always out to learn, and knowing that something is wrong that I've picked up from somewhere else is just that; learning.

Hey Chef Bob!
Welcome! Thanks for you willingness to help Jani on the nutrition side. It's not only her you'll be helping, her followers including me will learn from you as well. And this is a great thing for all. I'm excited!
Let's give JJ a cycle on this program... When I started coaching her 8 months ago, the goal was to make her an Olympic lifter with good technique. Now that she has improved her competition lifts a ton, it is time for her to get really strong without compromising what she gained in her technique. She was also training as a powerlifter. And truthfully, at the time I did not spend time working with her in this area because I focused on the Olympic lifts. But now is the time to combine both and look at the greater picture.. The bigger challenge ahead is "carryover." There is NO such thing as being too strong.. But there is such a thing as ingraining bad movement pattern.
For example, I absolutely agree with you about the TYPE II training for the DL.. And I absolutely agree that deadlift, done is powerlifting fashion, must be ripped off the ground from time 0.01.. From a carryover standpoint on the cleans, however, the first pull (lifting from ground to launch point) must be controlled in preparation for the explosive second pull. And the bar paths of the PL DL versus the first pull on the clean are NOT the same. So in the future she may have to make sumo deadlift as her competition powerlifting lift.
But for now she wants to improve her lifts on the snatch and front squat. Let's focus on those, then evaluate again down the road.
Again, thanks for your help and I look forward to learning from you on the nutrition side of things.

Joel, thanks for saving me some time by posting this first.
Chef Bob,
I learned conventional deads first and cleans later. Because I thought the pulls were the same, my clean suffered. This is why there's a lift called the Clean Pull. It looks like a deadlift, but it's not and it's what you see in training videos of advanced weightlifters who are working on their strength - not deadlifts.
Edit: I think Jani would do well with sumo if she likes the form.Last edited by Stenn; 11-16-2013 at 07:15 AM.

Glad you guys see my stance as well and with the nutrition aid she will be at her strongest to date
I will pop in suggestions on accessory work but when I sent her a template and then saw this I see why she shot it down
If she would of told me you were doing the training then I would of understood a bit more
Let's see the progress to the fullest in here let's be a team and make it work

11-16-2013, 07:39 AM #3007
Indeed.. I think she'll be a great sumo deadlifter as well, stennmuffin.. We can even initiate this next cycle.
HAHAHA!! JJ didn't tell you she has two weightlifting coaches? That girl I tell ya.. Keep an eye on her.. She's a trouble maker..
I absolutely saw where you are coming from.. We are open-minded individuals..
And 1000% agreed on being a team.. We all love to do what we do for our athletes / clients.
Really exciting times ahead..This above all..

Thanks Woody!! Was pleased with the BS today!!
That little guy, I will not be able to carry him much longer for sure!!
Hope you have a good weekend as well!!
Blue plates 2014 here we come. Hoping it will be more than that though!!!
You know Joel, you are a very generous person and I am grateful for all you have taught me and your willingness to help me succeed and reach my goals!!
I was thinking about the DL on Max out day. I didn't really understand why you set it at 110%. I kept thinking isn't this when I should work on DL strength? Then I hit me BAM! It had nothing to do with dl. It has everything to do with preparing my body and esp my MIND for higher snatch and cleans. It the weight doesn't feel heavy or uncomfortably heavy in the first pull, I am more likely to make the lift.
Everyone is invited Chef Bob!!!
And I would love to incorporate those things in my program. But I am a Weight Lifter first and a power lifter second. My heart is in the snatch and the CNJ. I think we can make this work!!
True that on Professor Joel!! I swear he is going to take a team to the Olympics one day. I have complete faith in him!!

I have heard of the Texas Method but never looked into it. I would have to go back look at how I trained for the Oly lifts in the beginning. Mostly it was I was given a task or something to fix. i went and worked on it, got feedback and moved forward. You can set aside a whole session. Then it would be lots of drill work and then the lift. Let me know and I can go back and look at the stuff Joel told me to do and I can pass it on.
Thank you for the nutrition vid links. I always like to learn about things so I will go watch them. And we know pyramids make the best visuals of all time!!
Thanks Mat! I am trying!!
I have pretty much switched to sumo. It is easier on my back and I don't have to over thinking issue when I approach the bar. When I approach it now clean stlye I just keep thinking I have to get it on my shoulders and I can't do that with 185-200# And it freaks me out!! I can't even squat thatSpoon Barbell Club

Yay!! I am terrible at explaining things. I thought I made it clear to Bob that Oly lifting was my passion and I really wanted help with the nutrition and accessories. But I may not have gotten my point across. That is one of the bad things about the internet. Sometimes you think you have gotten your point across and you don't.
And Joel, I have a fairly recent with of Sumo DL. I took it in I think Early Oct. If you want to see I can re post it.
I am excited as well. I have come a long way in the last 8 months. I am just so excited to get stronger and keep chasing that perfect lift.
You should join the team MMA!!!
You too Lori? Have anything fun going on? I get to go to a farm girls meeting. Well, at leat I get to get out of the house by myself!!

Yes, on the sumo. Joel posted this link the other day. I had been dabbling with sumo. From the arm leg ratio it said I should be conventional. So the next DL day I did both and was like, yes, think I will stick with sumo.Spoon Barbell Club

I was 100% Clueless you had 2 people doing your training already or else i would not have sent you a set up plan, I was totally lost when you kept yelling back at me about your training and how it was setup. So now it makes a little more sense.
let me just focus on nutrition. i do not want to step on anyones toes in here that you have been working with, this way i can handle that, and they can handle your training so you dont have to backlash at me
I dont want cows coming over to my house and sacraficing me for my emails haha

11-16-2013, 05:19 PM #3018
BINGO! You're seeing the bigger picture, JJ! Great thinking..
There's no doubt you can do more than 110% DL. But again, as you know, it's goes back to the keyword 'carryover.' 110% will give you confidence on the first pull, it will also allow you to keep the integrity of the bar path. In other words, if you exceed 110% you will risk ingraining bad movement pattern.
BTW, here is vid of Josh Gilbert. He is a nationally ranked weightlifter, but he competed in powerlifting last year. He is being coached by John Broz in Las Vegas. He did well as a powerlifter.. As you can see, he squatted Olympic high bar and deadlifted clean grip with WL shoes.. His teammates lifted in a similar fashion and did just as well. They only prepared for this meet for one week.
John Broz subscribes to the Bulgarian philosophy. They only train snatch, clean, jerk, power snatch, power clean, squat and front squat... THAT'S IT! They don't even deadlift in training. The reason they don't DL is because they do enough first pull in the snatch and clean.
Here is Josh doing competing in weightlifting.
There is another coach in LSU by the name of Dr. Kyle Pierce. His training philosophy has a bit more variation. His weightlifters do deadlift and benchpress. His philosophy is a bit more Soviet.
I wanted to share this to show you that it is possible to compete in both WL and PL, and do well in both.This above all..

I should mention that, after training for weightlifting for about 2 year and not deadlifting at all, I finally got a wild hair and tried conventional deads one day. I ended up adding 10 pounds to a PR I had set two years previously. Granted, this is not the most efficient way to improve one's deadlift, but it does prove that your pull will remain strong through weightlifting training, even if you're not deadlifting.
Edit: I should add, only crazy people with a high tolerance for pain deadlift with a hook grip. It works, but damn!

11-16-2013, 09:35 PM #3023
Oh ok. That's actually how I deadlift anyway lol. I've never cared for the over under grip, don't like the idea of having that imbalance, plus the increased risk of bicep tear.
*EDIT* lol didn't see this before I wrote that. IMO, deadlifting with hook grip isn't too bad when you're pulling singles. It's when you start getting into reps that really sucks.

I deadlift about twice my max C&J. For C&J, hook grip feels fine. When I've tried hook grip for my deads, I've found myself swearing a little and rubbing my thumbs afterwards. Maybe if I taped my thumbs I'd swear a little less. Still, since I'm comfortable with alternate grip, hook grip for deads seems an unnecessary struggle. Also, based on what I've heard and read, bicep tears don't occur anywhere near the weights I'm lifting (400-ish pounds). It takes a lot of weight to tear tendon from bone (700-ish pounds).

We do no sacrificing around here!! Never fear!!
I will call them first pulls then instead of DL. Might make a little more sense.
He has got a really narrow pull stance on the snatch! His knees can do crazy things!
I believe you can do anything you set your heart and mind to. You just have to find a way to get there!!!
This is what I use whenever I pull the bar. Even on RDL's or SLDL. It has become ingrained to pick up the bar that way.
Crazy club checking in!! I can not tell you how many times the day after DL I am like what in the world did I do to my thumbs!! They kill me! But it sure as hell works!
Yes, the singles and double are cool by me. It is the 8-10 AMRAP that do my thumbs in!Spoon Barbell Club

That’s funny you mentioned this, Steve.. I did the same just four months ago.
Before taking up weightlifting my best conventional deadlift, alternate grip was 300-lbs. Then like you I decided to go geriatric and tested my DL.
315-lb clean grip with first pull bar path went up no problem. So that was technically a PR. .Then I added 20 more pounds. 335-lb was my new PR with hook grip and wearing WL shoes.
Then I really tried to go full-geriatric and attempted 350-lbs. That freakin’ thing didn’t even move. Then it really put things in perspective how 69-kg weightlifters can snatch the same weight.
But at any rate, I tried to DL with the ‘deliberately controlled first pull’ mindset as a result of ingrained movement.This above all..
