By the way - I've seen some people say that o-lift shoes make your deadlift harder. I find that hard to believe. One of my main culprits in the deadlift is not being able to sink to the heels, and the other is the lack of flexibility to get down. These should be solved by the lifting shoes.

Also, all the o-lifts start with a deadlift at Olympic lifting competitions so... if they really made the deadlift part worse, wouldn't they stop using them? I know that maybe they'd sacrifice some deadlift strength for a better catch etc, but really?

first pull of a dead lift and first pull of a clean and jerk or a snatch are different lifts.

whether you like oly shoes for DL or not is a matter of preference but i don't like them because you can't sit back as much at the bottom

fwiw charlie francis was a big proponent of lower back strength as key to fast sprinting. i think it's in "speed trap" where he describes ben johnson's erector spinae as "the size of a man's forearm."

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: left foot making its presence known but not uncomfortable. mid-back tender and feeling like it wants to seize up but i did some stretching and such and i think it's okay. had the same problem last time i was in kabul but the spasm went full-blast then. must be a consequence of the travel.
MENTAL STATE: tired

- jump rope, stretch, chin ups, BSS, DB OHP, ME SVJ, etc. x 20 mins
worked 8:30-8:30 today. ate only breakfast and dinner, no lunch. gym was 25 mins from close by the time i got down there. very tired.
