clean & jerks should be one of my main priorities after the comp mate!

JC, The Plan is not crazy, but lets see. After that REST. 4 full days of it should be enough...

ayiengar yoga is one of the common yoga types, which is based on slow non-dynamic stretching poses as opposed to for instance ashatanga yoga. So there is not much dynamic movements and jumping around, which is why i like it Grin

The soreness come from the long stretches, like this kinds:

in short: absolutely.

its not only to increase the flexibility through, also to release tension in places like hips and lower back, which i need to do due to my history of a dicky back.

And about the fit women, i dont know what you mean mate. Its just me and 20+ student girls in our class.

once a week is better than not at all Grin

I compare it to massage, guys like Gaz nail massages on a weekly basis to release back and hamstring tensions. So in that sense i bet it helps.

In other words: no idea Grin

My new Plan for next 3-4 weeks:

monday - clean & jerk, squats

tuesday - yoga, lat work

wednesday - jerks off blocks or rack, press

thursday - deadlift, front squat, conditioning

saturday - jerks off blocks or rack, squats, conditioning

conditioning = light strongman events, running around with sandbags, barrels, farmers, yoke...

main idea is: less events, more gym work. Focus on overhead, cleans and deads.

You want my 2p? your going to get it anyway lol

Why cleans as a focus? An assistnace yes, not a focus IMO

Less jerks, more working on the weaknesses ie. Lockout. PP/Jerk/Strict on 1 OH session, Log and boards on the other

Deadlift work - work from you on a box - lockout great, off the floor is the problem

Start work in the DL suit now, get used to the f**ker

f**k, i hate it when you make sense...

cleans are one of the focuses because i want to have a nice floor -> overhead.

lockout comment is spot on, forgot about the board work. It is needed!

Deadlifts: hate the suits, hate the platform deads. They need nailing, true, but maybe i can put them off till after Wills comp with the 18 inch dead Grin
