Hi Xagunos!

What are your training goals? If you’re training for weightlifting, the most glaring flaw is the lack of snatches and clean & jerks. :slight_smile:

I would agree. If you’re looking to compete or get better at the Oly lifts, this is a fairly bad template/program. How new are you to the lifts?? What’s the purpose of this program for you??

I am a complete beginner that’s been training only slow lifts from the texas method but I want a program to get me familiar with the olys while maintaining a good strength base.

Learn to Sn
Learn to CJ

Do the bar work and add weight on to the bar slowly.

If you fail to do the bar work properly you will never Sn properly and wonder why that bar you just pulled above your neck, you failed to get under it. Not enough bar work.

If you want to still bench and row: bench on Thursdays and row on Mondays. 3 x 5-8 will probably be sufficient for both, but I wouldn’t go too crazy. Pull-ups would probably be safe on Wednesdays or Thursdays.

if you want to learn olympics… olympics should be the core of your training.

my 2 last weeks traning, 3 days per week

monday:

hang power snatch 5x4
jerk 4x4
clean 4x4

w:

snatch 4x4
1 power clean + 4 push jerk 4x4

after each day training i can do whatever, but olympics are the core of the training.
