"New" website, singlet pre-order form, and new equipment

1. 3-position snatch*: 50% x 3, 60% x 3, 70% x 3 x 3
2. Snatch pull: 80% x 5 x 3
3. Front squat: 50% x 5, 60% x 5, 70% x 5 x 3

*The three positions for the 3-position snatch today are the high-hang, above the knee, and just below the knee. From above the knee and below the knee, be deliberately SLOW to the middle to upper-thigh position, then EXPLODE into the second pull. Slow to fast!

Great to see you in oly Greg!

Welcome to our NEW website! Well, sort of new. We are now using the www.industriousbarbell.com domain name for our website. The www.industriousbarbell.blogspot.com url will redirect here, but feel free to update your bookmarks, as it may not always be that way. Expect this website to see further development as we move forward.

We are going to place our order for team singlets next week. There will be a pre-order sheet in the gym tomorrow. If you are planning on competing in the Washington Open down at Thrush on October 13th, you will NEED a singlet! May as well be a sweet Industrious Barbell Club singlet with the "hammer and ax" on the front! If you're not competing on the 13th, you will still need a singlet for the future meets you will want to be competing in once you see how awesome it is, so you may as well get it now! Plus, you might stand a better chance of winning "best dressed" at the Industrious meet on October 14th if you were sporting one of these suckers. These will be solid black with a white hammer and ax. Very stylish. Just in time for back-to-school shopping. Cost should be around $50 I believe, depending on how much shipping and printing are.

Our metal change plates are ordered! Hopefully we will have these within a week. This ought to make using our kilo discs a heck of a lot easier! Also, remember the conversion factor from kilos to pounds is 2.2. A 100 kilo snatch is a 220 pound snatch (100*2.2 = 220). Your worksheets all have both units listed now, so hopefully this will start to make sense as you see it more and more. Any competition you participate in (including our own) will measure lifts in kilos, so it'd be good to start getting used to it now!
