My very first olympic sesh!

Worked on snatch, just did a progression, felt pretty sweet by the end.  Worked up to 115 for some triples.  I pretty much just power snatch, so I need to work on getting under the bar for when shit gets heavy.

She noted that my upper back was relatively weak, so she had me klokov pressing.  Got so excited I almost popped wood when she was describing how to press.

Ended with some reverse hypers and hanging from a pullup bar for spinal decompression.  I started cramping in my right toes hardcore so that was enough for today.  She prescribed some mobility stuff and in addition I'm self-medicating with a triple meat salad and an XXL grilled stuffed burrito.

I'll be doing an olympic session for 1.5ish hours mondays, wednesdays, and thursdays for the next 3.5 weeks.  I plan to squat and bench fridays, and press on tuesday or saturday maybe.  Thoughts on how to integrate my shit in with hers (giggity)?

Going to work one heavy HBBS session in per week and hopefully one each of bench and press per week.  Maybe some CFFB metcons here or there because I literally have nothing else to do but get shredded and tan.

  1. So I am in a very similar situation and have been able to make some progress in both oly and strength, and I have things set up as follows:

    TThSat = oly
    Monday = intensity day for TM, so heavy squat and either press/bench, some pullups if i have time
    Wednesday = volume day for TM, 5x5s on squat and press/bench, or 3x5 if you feel underrecovered.

  3. good call, I think i'll do a weekly intensity and volume day as well. Tuesday and Saturday it looks like will fit best. Forgot to mention I'm going to do curlz on a MTWTFSS basis as well.
