Warm-up:
jumprope singles
good mornings
overhead squat (45,65)
7x3 hang power clean (2x95,2x105,115,2x125)
1x5 squat clean (95)
3x3 rack pull (315,335,355)
Cool-down:
1x10 shoulder press (45)
5x1 30m sprint
Starting in on Oly lifts again - will work on cleans first, and stay away from the snatch for a little while; want to get the first and second pulls dialed first. HPCs felt allright, every now and then I would slip on the form and break my arms early, and the weight would feel *much* heavier.
Rack pull starting position was a little high, a constraint of the rack. Next time I'll try lifting on one of the aerobic steps (we'll see if it can support 500+ lbs). Grip was really failing on these, switched to mixed but barely helped.

Assuming you are happy with the way climbing is developing your grip strength, go ahead and use straps for the rack pulls. If you have high pain tolerance, use the hook grip.
I was wondering if you used straps. I don't plan on pulling heavy rack pulls too often, think I might be allright with the hook for deadlifts.
I've always wondered: how do you get the second hand strapped once your first is in?
Practice.
I'll show you next time I see you if I can't find a video to post.
Thanks B, I sort of figured it out after a little Googling. Just seems like it would be tricky one handed, but I might give it a try one of these days.
Still breaking back into lifting, just focusing on form and getting the poundage back up at weights I can grip are more of a priority right now, anyways.
