Amit, Either way you do it is fine whether that’s bent over or with a knee on the bench.

Hi,I have two questions: Monday at the 10 rm (Workout C).i chosen for my 10rm, this felt extremely light. Was this the intention ..? and my next question that I hear a lot of differences about. what exactly is a clean?, is it a squat as a power clean? can you tell me a bit more about this? Greetings Romano

Hey Romano – The 10rep squats on Monday were designed to be light. This is a designed “light” week to allow the body to recover and rest up for the hard training that lies ahead. Also, if it just says “snatch” or “clean” it is always assumed to be a squat snatch or squat clean on this program.

Mondays Back squat: I assumed 55 and 60% are 1RM. We haven’t established that here but I just used my 10RM and did math with the assumption that was about 70% my 1RM. Good?

All %’s for all exercises are based on your 1RM unless otherwise noted. Not a big deal, now you know for the future.
