Re: What weight training do you do?

I have a background of Olympic lifting (my weight training coach is a welsh Olympic lifter) and what I will say about the power clean is it's only good if it is performed efficiently.

Re: The Pete Plan

Thanks for the advice Dan, the SPM is something i need to work on, coming from a Squating/Weightlifting background i tend to use more power with lower SPM.

What Drag setting do you use Dan, i have always had it on 7 which i believe might be to high?
