Is there any clear reason why WADA is so focused on Russia recently?

Fantastic, explosive athlete.

To answer my own question, she went 114/120x/122x and 145/150/155. Her attempt on the 122 snatch would have matched the current junior world...

8-15 Meant to do jerks on the 14th but ended up feeling like I was gonna hurl because apparently I had not eaten in long enough. Lovely. I had some...

Yeah, I did see that in another news blurb but I think I missed that when looking at her results on IWF.

Cool. Funnily enough I have always, always, always had far better progress from the beginning stages of a prep phase, and felt I peaked about week 6,...

The Soviet system is, well, a system. You can't just take one aspect (in this case Prilepin's chart) and ignore the rest. Each clean and each jerk is...

Yes, and Gold. In common speech you don't lose the title just because it's not the current one. /pedant

I tend to stick with the ranges outlined with Prilepin's since that is for absolute percentages. There are still days where I bring the absolute...

Wed Snatch 100-1 Light hip clean 70,80,90-1 Back Squat 170-1

15-Aug-2019 5/3/1 - Squat Day Squats 135lbs - 1x5 (w/u) 150lbs - 1x5 (w/u) 185lbs - 1x3 (w/u) 225lbs - 1x5 255lbs - 1x3

This is something that I was considering messing about with myself. I handle lower intensities so much better and make much better progress. With...

Feb. 25: Rest day Feb. 26: 6.2 miles/10K in 1:24 and change. On weekends I go running with a new runner at a slow pace. I just mark it...

Yep, the US is in a weird place, especially when we get older athletes that never were youths or juniors. A lot of the time they come in from a...

Whatcha talking about Willis? If you mean 2017, it's because they had 3 positives from the 2008 retests.

Not even that, most foreign coaches assume we have a training system that takes kids and moves them through 8000 reps the first year, then 10000,...

It's partly individual differences, and partly an adjustment thing. Most lifters who went to the OTC were used to training 3-5 times a week. I've...

I haven’t noticed it being different with high or low level lifters. Macca, relative intensity works the same way for classic as it does strength...

Does it matter how much they're lifting? E.g., does someone who weighs 100kg and snatches 100kg need their workload adjusted? Or does that really...

Thanks. Is there a different method of calculating rel. intensity for the classics or would it be the same calculation as strength movements?

That’s another thing to keep in mind: heavier lifters can not sustain the same workload as lighter lifters. I find no matter what, athletes above...

I believe China's national ban was based on a whistle blower as well.
