The Olympic Lifts

Pumped about getting 3 big plates on the back squat (315) and 235 on front squats for my 1RM!

Relative to my bodyweight, im very close to back squatting 2x my bodyweight (with good form! Not like i did in high school)

Curious though, what is a good benchmark for strength on the big olympic lifts? (Relative to bodyweight)

SWEET MAN! For the every day CrossFitter, I would say challenging goals for the olympic lifts are bodyweight snatch and 1.25-1.5x bodyweight clean and jerk.

Also, I'd like to see the gap between your back and front squat shrink. Ideally, the front squat is riding at 80-90% of your back squat. Over the course of a couple weeks of classes, if you have repeat exposures to the back squat and no exposures to the front, switch to front squat when back is prescribed (always make sure to ask your coach before making the switch.) The front squat is very important, as it translates into so many of the movements we do.
