In Linda, what is the correct order of lifts in each round?

• A. Bench bodyweight; Clean ¾ bodyweight; Deadlift 1 ½ bodyweight
• B. Clean ¾ bodyweight; Bench bodyweight; Deadlift 1 ½ bodyweight
• C. Deadlift 1 ½ bodyweight; Clean ¾ bodyweight; Bench bodyweight
• D. Clean ¾ bodyweight; Deadlift 1 ½ bodyweight; Bench bodyweight

Answer: (B)

Linda uses a progressive loading pattern within each round: start with the lighter lift, move to the mid-load lift, and finish with the heaviest lift. The typical weights are clean at ¾ of bodyweight, bench press at 1× bodyweight, and deadlift at 1.5× bodyweight. This order helps you preserve form on the heavier lift by spacing it later in the round, and keeps fatigue from undermining technique across the three movements as rounds progress. So, the lifts are performed in the sequence: clean first, then bench, then deadlift.
