Question - I have a swim meet this weekend, so I can't lift on Saturday. Should I just do Saturdays work on Friday? What would you suggest? No, I'm not swimming. I'm coaching, but these meets take all day. |

Alfred -
Doing Saturday's workout on Friday is fine. You likely won't lift as heavy, but it will still be productive. |

Similar question about scheduling, with school starting I dont' think I'll be able to make it to the gym on wednesdays. I was thinking of cutting out tuesdays power work, and moving wednesdays work to tuesday. Then moving snatch balance/ohs to thursday or do snatch balance/ohs on friday seperately.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. |

Jerk max for day - 230# (PR by 5#)
Then 187#x2x3 (worked a little over 80%, felt good)
Snatch form Blocks (used a jump box)- 115#
Clean from Blocks - 157# (worked over 70%, miscalculation)
Conditioning
4:31, I have no idea what my sandbags weigh (I stole them from a construction sight) and 155# on the Bent row. |

Your proposed change should work fine. |

Hi Greg.
Running a Swedish CrossFittish Box and have added CA as the preference for elevating our Olympic Lifting performance.
I struggle with the problem of delivering most bang for the buck to my team since all time spent at the gym comes with a price tag.
Simple question to not dig too deep into programming:
If you would be forced to choose amongst the excercises that you deliver in your program each day and you needed to prioritize. In which order would you prioritize them ?
I'm basically talking about:
(Power/Squat)Snatch
(Power/Squat)C&J
OHS
All pull variants
F/B Squatting
Snatch Balance
Muscle Snatch
etc.
As of current I prioritize the big lifts since I think that it deliver most bang for the buck. This means no extra training on for example Snatch Balance, 3rd pull and so forth.
The audience for the programming are moderately strong but not that explosive or gymnastic/mobile (130-160kg bench, 200kg-260kgDL, 140-200kg Back Squat, C&J ~ 110kg, Snatch 70-90), really varied mobility skills, former elite in their niche, 30-35 year old, competing individuals with 15-20 years of training in general, about a year of OL experience CrossFit style (which is like 1 month for you guys).
As you see there is a huge gap between the power lifts and the OL-lifts :)
Really tricky question in it's simpleness.
Cheers
PS. BYTW I train with some guys which I think attended a weekend seminar with you a few weeks back (think it was in Denmark was it not?) Anyway they give me a lot of grief for not attending. Ds. |

Marcus -
How I would prioritize exercises depends on the needs of the athlete. So with your example of athletes who tend to be strong but not as skilled, it makes more sense to emphasize the skilled lifts over the strength lifts. In other words, they will still be fine with less exposure to squatting and pulling, at least temporarily.
So maybe something like:
BS
Snatch
Jerk
Clean
OHS/Snatch balance
Power snatch/clean
And you can post your results on the day you do them even if the workout is different from what's posted. |

Jerk - max for day 70-80-85-89-92-96kg pr!
80% of that 77kg x 2 x 3
Mid-hang snatch 70% 54kg x 3 x 3
Mid-hang clean - 70% 67kg x 3 x 3
I usually use straps for pulls, tried them on hang snatches today for first time, worked nicely. Then tried them on hang cleans. I bet you can guess how that went...
Thanks for PR on Jerk! |
