Nice to see such awesomeness after a day of DB bench & skulls. LoL
Heavy triple snatch-grip deads after squats . . . that doesn't bother your lower back or anything? That's hard work. I did high-rep snatch-grip deads once for conditioning and my lower back was unhappy for several days.
Also, why such small jumps on the power snatch? Are you eeking out PRs there or what?

Thanks, PB.....yeah, I do notice lower back fatigue, but nothing thats severe or hurts, so I just do the DLs.....by the last set I was feeling pretty wasted though. We'll see tomorrow the extent of the damage, lol.
With the power snatch, I am doing 5 doubles, twice a week, adding 5lbs each time to the top set, so thats 10lbs a week, hopefully 40lbs more my last double after August is over.....then I would like to take that weight and do it for 9 singles, both days in Sept.....then push it with increases in Oct.

hehe... I got 1 sample pepperoni slice cuz I've never tried it from the place. It was shitty! I hope you went back and ordered a plain pie to goBiggT said:
WOW! Nice DB bench work high reppin' the big boy DB's
Do you "deload" the BTN PP's between reps?
Are there specific ways in which the varing grips for deadlifts affect one's back? Like you did snatch there (wide to collar grip right?).... curious if it's just preference or training specific.

Thanks, Sarge. Yes, I deload the PPs between reps.
About the grip on deads, a snatch grip means that if the bar were over your head, it would be 6-8 inches above your head. For me, thats collar to collar, I would imagine you'd have to go collar to collar as well. Snatch grip is definitely harder in my opinion. I feel it taxes the upper back more, and also the spinal erectors, as it is almost impossible to not round a little unless you use token weights....I am not really pushing them this cycle, but if I am careful not to let them burry me, I can see them helping my snatch, and I am gonna be honest at the risk of sounding gay, I do like having big traps, lol, so I like to pull with bigger weights, and relatively the power snatches are very, very light compared to what I can pull to overload my back with.

LMAO @ the big traps = 
ish comment.
NOT gay at all bro... i love my traps too
Cool, ok... was just double checkin' on the PP's
I love snatch, err I mean snatch grippin' ... errrr grippin an OLY bar with a snatch specific grip... *in the gutter today don't mind me*
Very cool... good to know, thanks for enlightening me... I think i'm going to go with slightly more than shoulder width for my deads, not to wide and not too narrow (and deff. not sumo... although they're fun sometimes).

Admiring big traps is the complete opposite of Unless you're mentioning them in passing as you discuss the trap/rear delt tie-in. That is instant And if you mention symmetry or balance, you're starting to cross the line.
Big monster traps are the epitome of awesomeness. There is no symmetry or balance to discuss. A yoke is a yoke.
