I've made the decision to start training all of my lifts Olympic-style (Low bar squat -> high bar, sumo deadlift -> conventional) for a while just to see how I hang. My interest in Olypmic weightlifting has suddenly grown a lot, and I figured I might as well give it a shot while the interest is there.

This probably means my total is going to go down, but whatever. I'm gonna max out again over the next three weeks and see where it goes. Also gonna start training clean/snatch on off days.

EDIT: Either it was a bad idea to do 300 hang snatches/snatch balances before actually strength training, or my conventional deadlift just sucks now. I could only max out 365x1. It might have been my form since I'm so used to sumo, but it also might be that I barely ever conventional pull anymore and my muscle groups for the movement are weak. On the bright side, I think my snatch is actually pretty good for just starting out.

I guess I have a new goal. I already hit 1000 with low bar/sumo, now I have to hit 1000 with high bar/conventional. Oh boy...

EDIT 2:

...apparently sumos are better for Oly lifters. I have no problem with this. cya conventional
