Bless your heart! More training logs need a mention of fat, alcohol, or some other goodness in their title...

Thanks Charles... I'll be interested to see how the Back Squat linear progression works for you, combined with your Oly lifts. I'm using linear progression a-la SS,for strength, but have begun adding Sn and C&J as warmups/technique, in prep. for Masters OLY meet in Apr.

Thanks Mike- I do find that when I'm in periods of high volume squatting (meaning in this case, sets of 5) I do notice a slight reduction in speed on the O-lifts, but it quickly returns after a short period of less squatting volume
