Greg or Aimee,
I have a question about Drop Sets. I am using your program & went back a year (November 2009) so that I can look ahead & plan accordingly. When I get to December 1st the workout calls for ~
Snatch - heavy single; 75% of that x 1 x 5; 1 min rest on drop sets
I am having a hard time finding the answer to Drop Sets as it pertains to Olympic Weightlifting. Is it the same as used in Strength Training sets where you drop weight each set when failure is reached. Thank you.
Joe

Polo -
The drop sets are already described for you - 75% of that day's heavy single for 5 singles. Rest one minute between those 5 sets. Drop sets in this case are anything below the day's heaviest set.
