Hey Hobbes, if you get a chance to stop by the deepsquatter forums, there's a guy looking for advice on combining training for the olympic lifts with training for powerlifting. So far, no one's really been able to ffer him much help, it seems like you'd be able to really help him out.
So if you're interested, look for the thread "Combining Routines" in the Powerlifting forum.
Hope you're settling into the new house well.

Hey Will! How the hell are ya? I'd stop by there but I'm banned:-) Anywho, a lot of what Brad Gillingham does is a combination of both oly lifting and powerlifting. Brad's training weighs heavily on the powerlifting side but he does combine the two. I'd point him to Brad's video at: http://jackalsgym.com/aspx/str_multimedia.aspx for a start. Awesome video BTW for a drug free lifter, although Brad's volume is probably a little too much for a geezer league lifter like me. I did make it through the six week Russian Front Squat program but I was over trained at the peak of the cycle...which is probably the plan.
The best parts of the video are all the different meet t-shirts you see being worn by the different guys in it (his training partners/spotters). I have everyone of them (one of them is the 2003 Zumbro open being worn by Jonathan Krogman. He and I competed against one another at that meet).
