no aerobics for an oly lifter…
ct? ll be haapy to hear what you think…
why is aerobics so bad for an ol?and how i can still have low body fat if
i dont do aerobics?{i have aproblem keeping my diet rihgt…}
Man, if you think that aerobic is the best way to get lean that’s you first huge problem! Long-distance/low-intensity cardio will reduce the strength gains you can reap from your training, that has been proven many times! If you must absolutely do some form of running, sprints are your only option as an olympic lifter. They will help you get lean while staying explosive. Compare the physique of a marathon runner to that of a sprinter, which one is leaner and more muscular? The sprinter of course!
Now, I don’t really like helping people who cannot help themselves. If you want to be world class, get that diet in order, then get back to me.
If you cannot make the sacrifices and have the discipline to have a clean and performance-enhancing diet, how can you say that you will be able to make the sacrifices necessary to be a world-class athlete?
BTW, I do believe that you are doing way too much work. When your competitive lifts go down (snatch, clean, jerk) while your strength on the other lift is OK it means that your CNS is overloaded: coordination in complex lifts (competition lifts) is the first thing to go.
Doing the competitive lifts twice per day is proably too much for you. I suggest doing:
AM
15 min. of Snatch pull (no more than 100% of your best snatch)
15 min. of Clean pull (no more than 110% of your best clean)
10 min. of Jump squat (no more than 20% of your best squat)
Total workout time 40 min.
PM
20 min. Snatch
20 min. Clean and Jerk
10 min. Back squat
10 min. Push press
Total workout time 60 min.
NOTE: You perform each exercise for a certain period of time (use a timer) and only do as many sets as you feel comfortable doing.
After your morning session ingest a good post-workout meak:
- 30-50g of protein
- 50-60g of carbs
- 5-10g of creatine
Then take a 10-20 minutes ice bath
After your afternoon session dring the same post-workout shake but take a contrast shower:
- 60 seconds hot water
- 30 seconds ice water
- 60 seconds hot water
- 30 seconds ice water
- repeat for 15 minutes.
amit, BTW, if you are interested in a personnal program email me at the_beast@t-mag.com
It won’t be free but I’m sure that it will help you become a better lifter.

You could replace an afternoon session with them three times a week or twice a week, or cut down the afternoon session time in half and use half an hour to do sprints two-three times a week. You should also stick to short distance(50m and below)
