Hey Jason, my apologies! We will be including them moving forward, that was my mistake this week.

Sucked at Sots press, so I worked through this a bunch and it really helped:

C&J @ 225
Front Squat @ 335×5; 275×8
Push Press @ 205×8

A little conservative, but I’ve been off lifting for a long time b/c of elbow problems

Are the % listed for power snatches in session 2 based of full snatch or power snatch 1RM? Same for the power clean + power jerk?

Great question Bryan. Percentages are always based on that particular exercise. So if it says Power Snatch x 2 reps @ 80% – That is 80% of your Power Snatch 1RM.
