Dutch -

What’s your recommendation on Rest and Frequency around Strength/O-Lift training? Example:

Monday, June 8:
- Cleans
- Sets of 5, 5, 5, 3, 3, 3

Friday, June 12:
- Cleans
- Sets of 3, 3, 3, 1, 1, 1

Wise to train the same lift with these reps counts in the same week 4 days apart? Your take on this….?

Dutch,

Though I am guilty of many silly things, neglecting my Olympic lifting is certainly not one of them. I love a good snatch.

Dutch: I really like the snatch balance for practice in the snatch. Coach B told me to NOT power clean/snatch for 4 months until I got heavier as I tend to power everything. Miss ya dude! See ya at the games!

I would recommend keeping sets between 3 and 5 per exercise.

For the Olympic lifts I would keep reps below 3 and vary the intensities.

Way to light a fire under my ass Dutch! For pre-WOD oly lifting, what would you recommend as an array of reps/sets?

No names or finger pointing needed. Think of it more like an over arching observation.
Why you guilty?

Sorry, that was supposed to say “simple but true*.”

Good stuff here, Dutch. Simple but try. If I may ask, did any particular incident spark this, or just a general feel of the way people are/are not training?
