Programming Advice for Olympic Weightlifting
Rip,
Quick background: I've been training SS and TM for the last couple of years and am an intermediate lifter by your standards.
I have recently decided to compete in an Olympic Weightlifting meet this Fall. I've looked at a couple of training programs, but they all seem a little too complicated. So I decided to see if I could put a program together for myself and thought I'd let you take a look and ad your $0.02.
I'm coming off about a two month period where I haven't been able to train as regularly as I'd like (moving, new baby, etc) but have been able to maintain my strength levels by trying to get into the gym 1-2 times a week. Because of this break, I think I can probably make some progress on a linear novice program for a month or so. Here's what I've come up with:
Workout A:
Snatch Practice (with technique plates)
C&J: 5x3
Bench: 3x5
Back Squat: 3x5
Pullups/Core
Workout B:
C&J Practice (with technique plates)
Snatch: 8x2
Press: 3x5
Front Squat: 3x5
Dips/Core
Does this sounds reasonable? Any tweaks or changes? Thanks for your time.
