Todays WOD is brought to you by the number HEAVY
Snatch: 1RM
Clean and Jerk: 1RM + 3×3
Back Squats: 1RM + HVY 3 + 2×5 (for speed)
Clean Pulls: HVY 1
The snatch is basically a warm up for the clean and jerk. CJ’s are the primary focus this week. So kill ‘em dead!
Here’s a few vids from last weeks training:
Arron does the Shankle complex with 110k:
And squats his ass off with this double body weight triple:
Melanie thrusts it up with 120 kilos!
And Brandon does a 160k Clean Pull … topless for the ladies:

Even though there are only two of y’all going down to Vegas next weekend to compete, we’re all on the same basic schedule. Brandon and Dave will compete on Saturday. And you’ll max out here on Friday.
For today:
Snatch: 1RM
Clean and Jerk: 1RM
Front Squat: 1RM
That’s it! You get 3 misses on the snatch, and only 1 or 2 on the CJ. No killing yourself.
Next week, it’s back to Hell.

I just got a call telling me that my Grandfather passed away last night. So, I’ve got to close up the gym today to go do family stuff.
Sorry for the inconvenience. I’ll definitely have it open tomorrow (Tuesday).

FREE Month at PDX for Charity Donation!
Friday, December 23rd, 2011 at

I’ve got some great news!
We’ve partnered up with a local charity organization here in Portland called Camp Fire Columbia who’s mission is to pick up where schools leave off.
In addition to working with schools, they run a lot of great outdoor programs for local children. Here’s some of the stuff Camp Fire is about:
- Camp Fire strengthens local education
We partner with over 20 schools to pick up where schools leave off—keeping kids safe, engaged, and learning.- Camp Fire supports our region’s most vulnerable youth.
Our programs are located in 20% of the Title-1 schools in Multnomah County.- Camp Fire supports academic growth.
Students in our programs demonstrate significant increases in reading, writing, and math. A recent study found that Camp Fire kids made academic gains at a faster rate than their non-Camp Fire peers.
That’s some great stuff! But, they are only able to do the good work they do because of donations from good people like you and me.
So … I’ve partnered up with them over the Holidays to sweeten the pot a little. The offers I present below only lasts through December 31st … so you gotta jump on them!
The first 20 people who donate through their Give Guide link will get a gift certificate for their 1st month at PDX Weightlifting totally FREE.
How to Donate
- Go to this link: https://giveguide.oaktree.com/Donate.aspx
- Scroll all the way down the page to the box labeled YOUTH
- Then donate to the group called CAMP FIRE COLUMBIA
That’s it!
It’s an easy way to get a free membership for a month to my club – plus all the coaching that goes with it.
Hurry, the offers only apply to the first 20 people and ENDS December 31st, no matter what.
Here’s the link again:

Now go donate something hefty,
