    I am using a program similar to what Rip has outlined here, with a few changes. Instead of lifting 5 days a week I'm adding an extra off day in the middle, so I'm lifting 5 times every 8 days:

    day 1: front squat (3X3) bench every other week

    day 2: Snatch, C&J single up to a miss, drop down about 10% and work back up

    day 3: back squat (3x5), press (3X3)

    day 4: off

    day 5: snatch (10 singles on the min. 80%) c&j (15 singles at 1:30)

    day 6: front squat (3X3) deadlift every other week

    day 7 & 8: off


    i'm going to post some videos of my oly lifts soon, i'm learning them on my own, mainly through info from this site and videos on 70s big and elsewhere, along with several books. would love to have someone else take a look, should have videos up by next week i hope.
