If I don't know my 1RM should I test that at the start of each exercise (i.e. determine 1RM for snatch then do the 3 position snatch and snatch pull, then determine a 1RM for backsquat then do the back squat as rx'd)? |

Dustin,
If it was me, I wouldn't do that all in one workout. You're better off using the snatch on day to find your 1RM since most of the programming will be based on it. Then jump in on day 2. |

I have two questions concerning this cycle. One, on the 3 position lifts, does one set equal:load the bar with 60% do the 3 lifts, load 65% do 3 lifts, and finally load 70% do 3 lifts for an actual total of 9 lifts/set? And is this a general work cycle or is there a speicfic goal/emphasis? Thanks. |

Greg,
What can we expect for the next 8 weeks programming? Working on anything specific or is this a general cycle?
Best,
Noel |

You need a max sn/cj and squats to effectively run this cycle. If you don't have them, you'll have to go by feel, which can work, but it makes it trickier. I would suggest starting with another program that establishes 1RMs before jumping into these workouts - try the starter program linked to in the workouts info page. |

Each set is 3 total reps - 1 from each position. On 70%, you do 4 sets of 3 total reps per set. |

Nothing specific, but it will peak for max sn and cj on week 8. |

Hi,
Greg I have a question, above this training day but I hope you can give me a little answer:
My legs are very weak. I tried a lot to improve my strength, but without succes. Have you some advices to work on it. How much times should I squat per week and how to manage the intensity.
Thank you very much!

Try some of the squat/leg emphasis training cycles on the site. |

Greg,
Going to work a week behind on this cycle so i can juggle the work schedule and balance being on the other side of the world (Japan).
3p snatch 43, 47; 51 x 3 x 4 from the floor
Sn Pull 65x3x2, 70x3x2
Push-press 1RM: 75kg (haven't gone heavy on these in a while so wanted to re-baseline)
B Squat 85x5x5
Thanks,
Gordo |
