DH,

Curious what your take on this is:
I do a lot of olympic lifting. I'm not talking about "for fun" or "I clean now and again" but rather in preps to possibly compete should I find the time.

SO we are talking lots of clean pulls and snatch pulls. Granted, it is lighter weight than your typical dead lift, but the movement is essentially the same (I'll conceed there are small differences, but bear with me). That on top of my weekend strongman training (heavy farmers, atlas stones, more cleans, tire flips) and I pretty much find that I can't deadlift at this point. Every time I turn around I'm doing some kind of pulling. So my new focus is simply going to be to improve my olympic lifts and squats. Everything else is accessory work. So I suppose the question is something like this...

Assuming I have two days a week to work on squat based movements, would it be fair to do a ME/DE setup, or would it be smarter to do a DE/RE setup considering the heavy leg work I also get during my weekend work?
