  3. Day 1
    Started this progression today. Great set of exercises!
    the powersnatch + overhead squat combo was awesome. Overall it felt like the right level of intensity for a beginner level power lifting.
    My stats:
    max snatch: 150
    max squat: 315
    max clean and jerk: 225
    will report back on each workout to track progress. My hope is to finish and then pay a visit to mr Waxman for further advice.

    thank you much again for posting this.
