Here's the Q&A:<br /><br />Originally Posted by Yoda-x<br />John, there's one thing I'm not totally clear about yet with your method of training, and that's how the Sn and C&J are trained. Do you just go up to a max for approximately 6 attempts then move on to the next left and repeat, then squat to max then do the backoff sets? Or do you max snatch, then drop 10-20kg and do doubles for a minimum of 3x2 (up for 50 total reps), then repeat for C&J, then repeat for squats?<br /><br />I guess the main confusion I have comes from your saying that you shouldn't do the backoff sets when you train jerks because the lighter weights won't teach you the timing, so I'm wondering if that's true for the full lifts or just when you're doing jerks off blocks.<br /><br />Personally, I started working your ideas into my trianing about a week ago, and my planned schedule looks like this right now:<br /><br />Monday: Sn, C&J, FS, each to max, then -10-20kg and do doubles for at least 3x2, up to as many as possible<br /><br />Tues: Jerk, power snatch, Back squat, max then drop 10-20kg for doubles on all 3 lifts<br /><br />Wed: Same as Monday<br /><br />Thurs: Power snatch, power clean + jerk, back squat, same as Tues.<br /><br />Fri: Same as Monday<br /><br />Sat: Jerk, back squat, Jerk for doubles only (had to train in regular college gym...) then BS to max, then backoff sets<br /><br />Sun: Jerk, front squat (same as Saturday, same limitations)<br /><br />I'm planning to simply alternate bs/fs.<br /><br />Does this look good to get my feet wet in your program?<br /><br />Thanks a ton for the advice and the interesting thread. I can't wait to see your guys smash some more PRs then win some medals.<br /><br />-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />Reply:<br /><br />When I mentioned going down in the jerk was a waste of time, I was referring to going max, then dropping below 80%. 90+% is good to train sets of 2's and 3's. returning below 80% is only for teaching technique to beginners, trying to fix the most basic issues. This will not help you get stronger or get better technique at maximum weights.<br /><br /><br />When an athlete is in shape we take up to 6 attempts at a daily 1RM in S and CJ (sometimes it can be more, sometimes less but 6 is a good starting point) THEN we go down and do 3-5 sets of 2-3 reps. Its these sets that gives you the work that makes you stronger. During which, if you feel the weights getting lighter - by all means go back up and try to pass your daily 1RM. It's all about pushing toward the maximum while allowing to get some work in. Obviously if the weight is max and you can't make it, then you must drop down to get some more reps/volume/work in for that day.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Ok- If on Tues you are trying to go heavy Jerk instead of doing PC/J (like on Thurs) then do the PS first. It will be much easier. I would probably do the same workout you listed for Thurs on Tue as well.<br /><br />On Sat do the same thing - don't start with J, but do BS first.<br /><br />Sunday do BS, no J. Substitute for strict presses - for sets of 5 - no less, no max. This will help you get more volume in your shoulders / arms and help you adapt a bit faster. (this will also give your lower back a needed rest)<br /><br />You will be doing FS m,w,f, so BS t,r,s,su. this is a better ratio.<br />---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br /><br /><br />I'm going to go ahead and do it.

Still, I got them all and they weren't that hard.</span><br />Clean pull 120/2 @ 8,8,8,8<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">After this, one of the cheerleaders came over and was like "how much weight is that....wow." I responded with "Well, Bud Charniga just got back from China and told one of the strength coaches here that a 52kg girl clean and jerked 127... So I'm actually not any good.</span><br /><br />Back squat 125/6 @ 7,7,7<br /><br />11-12<br />Jerk from shallow split 80/3 @ 9, 70/3 @ 7, 75/3@7,7<br />Drop Snatch 70/3 @ 7, 75/3 @ 7, 80/3 @ 7<br />Flexibility<br /><br />11-13<br />Power snatch 80/3@8,7,7<br />Snatch 90/2 @ 8,7 92/2 @ 7,7<br /><br />Snatch pull + Sn. 92/2+miss, 92/2+1@8,8,8 <span style="font-style: italic;">Not sure how I missed that....Maybe I shouldn't combine the pull and the lift, or just drop pulls.<br /><br /></span>Front squat 139/4@ 9,10, (3+miss) <span style="font-style: italic;">Since I was definitely not 100% recovered from Monday, I was pretty happy with this.

I hit the formerly elusive 130 on clean and jerk, so I can live with my numbers.<br /><br />Here's my plan for the next 10 weeks:<br />3 weeks front squat emphasis because I lifted only 113% of my clean and jerk (front squat should be at least 115% of clean and jerk, so this needs to go up).<br /><br />3 weeks explosive strength emphasis (mostly power versions of lifts) because my power versions are slightly lower than they should be as well. The first week of this will also be my max front squat week, so there's a slight overlap as well. Squat maintenance will be performed here as well.<br /><br />3 weeks competition cycle emphasising heavy (but reasonable this time) classic lifts and squats, with power-version maintenance.<br /><br />1 week rest (meaning lifts in the 70-80% range for technique, flexibility, and active rest) for maxing.<br /><br /><br />Also, for the new guys, I'm in the same situation as Nathan, except I'm in Michigan now. Also, I compete in weightlifting, not powerlifting (though I did a powerlifting meet for fun during the summer). Also, my weights are in kilograms, not pounds (I don't suck THAT bad...).Jake Ceccarellihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08434566618084914461noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7627907027016040808.post-50569032021060569572009-11-03T18:07:00.000-08:002009-11-03T18:09:51.367-08:0011-2Light week this week to make up for my somewhat retarted last two weeks.

Cl. + Pu J. 92/1 x 5<br />Various stretches, dynamic and static. I have taken a liking to hold the bar overhead and hopping back and forth in the bottom of a squat. I can do this with 135. Definitely loosens up the bottom position.<br /><br />10-28<br />Snatch 92 - 1+miss, 97 - miss, 1, 102 - miss, 1, 107, 111 - miss, 111 - miss, 102, 105 - miss,<br />97 - (1,miss) (1,miss,1) (1,miss)<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">weird day... I felt strong but didn't make some lifts I should have. I tried 111 twice because I felt like I could've had it.

I didn't feel great but didn't feel bad either.</span><br /><br />10-30<br />So today was supposed to be a max day, but a few things complicated that, so I lifted light and will move this workout to tomorrow. First of all, I had to get up for this workout at 6am, so that threw things off a little. Second, I feel really weird. A little light headed so I'm not at 100%. Finally, and most importantly, the weight room got a new set of weights. Ordinarily this would be good thing, but it's not. At all. These are Powerlift plates, which are 2 inches larger in diameter than standard Olympic plates (meaning the pull is one inch shorter). My timing on the lifts was definitely off since I'm not pulling as far. They are bumper plates at least. It totally messed me up, at least psychologically, so I scrapped the ME and just lifted light. <br /><br />Power snatch 85/1 x 4<br />Pwr cl. + Pu.
