    Power Clean, OHP, cooking & cleaning super stack

    Garage

    I’m all over my new ultra efficiency garage workout – cooking – cleaning thing I have going on lol. I feel so productive.

    • Power Clean & Overhead Press – 1 Power Clean then strict OHP to failure, followed by push press to failure.
    • Barbell Bicep curls

    Doesn’t sound like a lot…but I did tons of sets and reps and expect to be nice and sore tomorrow.

    In between sets I cooked Craig’s dinner for tonight and lunch for tomorrow, unloaded the diswasher and did the laundry.

Kara’s Question & Answer

Raw Lifter new to Equipment

Hey Kara, I just started competing in powerlifting and was able to qualify for the USAPL nationals with a raw total from my first meet. I don’t currently have gear, but was thinking it would be a good idea to get some and learn how to use it before that meet. My coach was telling me you have some pretty impressive numbers in the various lifts and might be able to give me a few tips on where to look for powerlifting gear and if there are any tricks to using it.

That’s awesome you qualified for USAPL Nationals raw! Good stuff. I’d be glad to help you out however I can with Powerlifting gear. read more...

Conventional vs. Sumo Deadlift

Hey Kara, I’m trying to decide whether to pull sumo or conventional. My strength training background is mainly Olympic Lifting like yours and all the deadlifting I’ve done is Olympic pulls. Have you tried both sumo and conventional? Which is your favorite? And is there anything other than personal preference which can help someone pick whether they do one technique or the other?

So funny you mentioned doing Olympic pulls. That’s almost ALL I do and ever have done for my deadlift training…even for sumo powerlifting deadlifts! Heavy snatch and clean pulls. When meet time gets close I’ll do a couple of sessions sumo with and without the suit, just to get used to the technique, but my training is almost exclusively Olympic pulls. I have tried both sumo and conventional deadlifts read more...
