  1. I’ve been following the programming since outlaw barbell started up and love it so far. I’ve got a few questions, just want to make sure I’m doing it all as intended.

    1. I have clean blocks but my box does not jerk blocks. When you say 3 reps jerks drop each one what is my best option? Catch all 3, which I find limits my loads. Drop to the floor and reset doing 3 reps, which is slow. Or just hit perfect singles?

    2. I’m finding on my 3rm hang movements I’m limited more by grip than anything else. Should I use straps or better to keep going without them? Is there a place we should be using straps?

    Thank you

    • 1. In the same boat, and I’ve been doing them UB. Would be curious to see what Rudy/Jared’s opinion on this is.

      2. Straps for snatch? Definitely, yes. For cleans, too risky, IMO.

    • 1.) With behind the neck jerks. i do 1 rep, front rack it, put it back on the squat rack, and then set up for rep 2 and so on.
      I am not comfortable dropping considerable weight onto my back.
      2.) Any hang snatch triples i will use straps, cleans never.

    • 1. Do a jerk, bring it back down and re-rack it. Wait about 5 seconds, then do another jerk. And so on. And then, go to google and search “Jerk Block Plans”.

      2. Use straps for snatch and snatch pulls. On cleans, re-hookgrip before bringing back down to the hang position.

    • I have done ZERO ub reps since starting barbell. drop, reset, mimic what my platform start position will be every time. just making sure the reps are all done within 45 sec.-1 min. straps for all snatches not from the floor.

  2. Training in the morning (limited time), everything felt heavy today.

    Note: Been on Outlaw Barbell since new iteration rolled out. Have been embarrassed to post numbers since so weak. Making progress . Before TOW had trouble OHS an empty bar I was so tight. My clean was 135 lbs. Had an ugly low bar squat of 275. I feel so much more mobile now. Also, been doing Connectivity.
