You're LEAVING US!?

Can we use two different bars? The prescribed weight for the will be fine for the cleans but likely beyond my ability on the snatches. I guess the answer will depend on how many people are in the class.

Michael - 1 bar is ideal. With some options based on class size.

There's a good interview with Jeff Tincher on the 2011 Games site. As he and I are the same age I really appreciate this bit of the interview especially since it come from a beast like him.
-----------------------------------
How has your approach to training changed over the years? How do you deal with the mental challenges of training and competition?

I did change my approach after the 2009 Games. With so many events being thrown at us in a weekend, I increased my volume and started doing multiple workouts per day. This left me tired and my intensity and passion for training suffered. Then I adopted a hybrid system using WestSide Methods and CrossFit Methods last year. That worked for a while, but the volume was still too much for me and most of my clients. I noticed a lot of tendinitis in shoulders and knees that wasn't there when I was programming regular CrossFit workouts. At first, it was awesome. Everyone was setting pr's every time they picked up a barbell, but that faded after time and then the injuries started showing up. I still do lots of sled drags, good mornings, and reverse hypers to warm up before a wod though. Now, I am right back where I started, one wod a day going after with as much intensity as possible. Just like Coach Glassman says, that is where all the favorable adaptations come from.
