What's your routine? I am curious about what your strength training routine consists of. (Sorry if you have posted this somewhere else, I am too lazy to search tonight.)

Personally, I'd also like to see some pics in the critique my physique section- With numbers like yours, you must be huge!

Thanks. And do you do 5x5 for all of these exercises? What do you define as heavy and moderate? Is it a percentage?

I only have one question. How the hell do you do one-arm snatches? I know how to do regular snatches, but can you do one-arms?

jenng, I use my own version of the 5x5 training. As far as heavy and moderate days, one day is a heavier weight with less reps and the other is lighter weight with a few more reps. Of course, never to failure.
slayer, usually the heavy days consist of 1-5 rep sets, while the moderate days consist of 5-8 rep sets.
PJ, one arm snatches are the same as two arm snatches(just with one arm). I just set myself a little off center when I approach the bar. I also make sure I do not push off my leg (or support myself) with my free hand. If I don't do something different, it won't be fun anymore.

You must have some massive forearms to keep the bar balanced up there.

I've seen one guy do them. It's pretty impressive. He didn't have more then maybe 95 lbs total with the Olympic bar but that is still a lot of weight, one arm, balanced. And he did look to be in very good shape with some size.

You'll have to explain what "positive failure" is.

Ok. In the beginning of a training cycle, you want to use lighter weight with the 5 rep sets. Even though you could complete more reps,(sometimes many more) you don't want to. This would be training your CNS a little too early in the training cycle. Remember, if you are going to failure with a 20 rep set or a 1 rep set, you are still putting a lot of stress on your CNS. If you do this for too long, you will "burn out".
About midway through the training cycle, you will be going to "positive failure". Not too much as this still puts stress on your CNS, but more so than in the beginning.
Now reaching the end of the cycle, you will be training to "positive failure" much more and nearing "failure"(but hopefully not if we pick the numbers right).
I hope that helps answer your question.
