  1. Frank, I've seen you clean 100kilos before. Would you say you were just tired from squats, or are you still sick and your power is screwed?

  2. It's probably a combination of things, mainly being tired from squats and not having done cleans in a long time. I'm pretty much recovered from being sick (just a little excess phlegm), so I can't really use that excuse anymore.

    I used to always do the Oly lifts first during a workout because they rely more on speed and technique, both of which are fresher at the start of a training session. This is probably when you saw me power clean 100. Since I'm training primarily for powerlifting right now, I think I get a bigger benefit from just doing the main lifts. Power cleans are mainly "deadlift assistance." We'll see if it makes any difference at the end of this cycle.
