@j_layport One thing I'd be curious to hear StrongFirst's take on is the conditioning aspect of weightlifting competition.
Example today:
1 hour before lift time:
> T - 45 minutes before Snatch: mobility work, activation drills, empty bar work
T-45 to T-0: Snatch warmup and practice for 45 minutes straight, walking the weights up in practice, starting at 60% to 95% (opening attempt), with decreasing rest periods. By the end of that, I was doing 95% snatch singles with 1 minute rest. In total, from 60% to 95%, there were 5 sets of triples, 10 sets of doubles, 10 sets of singles, for a total of 35 snatches. And a bunch of plate loading.
Snatch Platform (had to follow myself): 95% snatch -- 1 minute rest period -- 100% snatch -- 2 minute rest period 105% snatch
After: Rest 5 minutes, drink something, eat something
Clean & Jerk warm up & practice, similar to Snatch, but this time have only 30 minutes to walk the weights up to opening attempts.
I think it might have an interesting tie-in to some of the StrongFirst work on energy system.
