This week will look strange to many followers of this blog. Keep in mind that the lifters following this program have all just trained very hard and very specifically for a long time for Pan Ams, Junior Worlds, or both. I have been and continue to be an advocate of pretty specific training, what many term the “Bulgarian” program. But I also believe that every once in a while the body needs a little change of pace, while still working hard. We will be adding in a few odd and unusual things to accomplish this for a couple of weeks, then phasing much of it out. Who knows, something might seem to work and end up sticking.
AM
6-8 doubles on snatch with medium weight, done quickly. Will attempt to do the second rep from the hang with a pause below the knee.
6-8 doubles on clean and jerk done quickly with medium weight. medium probably means around 80%, but we will see how they look.
back raises.
PM
Snatch: three waves of 3 lifts, weight based on ability.
