I was working S&S and developed a solid handle on the 28kg bell, but due to a change in circumstance I now only have access and funds for a 24kg bell at the moment.
My rational is that I can really OWN every aspect of the 24kg with this program before purchasing a 32kg in the future, because let's be real; 24kg isn't very heavy. Plus, it'll have the added benefit of breaking down elements of the snatch test without snatching just yet.
Here's what I was thinking given my circumstances:
Days 1, 3, 5:
Movement prep: arm bar, prying goblet squat, high bridge stretch, calf mobility drills
Program:
SA MP 5 sets - work up to 5 sets of 10 (currently at 5 sets of 3)
High pull 5 sets - work up to 5 sets of 10 (currently at 5 sets of 5)
Clean 5 sets - work up to 5 of 10 (currently at 5 sets of 5)
Pull ups: 3 sets of 5 and increase tension and tempo over time
Hanging leg raises: 3 sets of 5
Days 2 and 4: S&S but with adjusting variables instead of weight, longer TGUS, shorter breaks, sets of 2 TGUs or 20 one arm swings, etc.
Add in halos during movement prep instead of arm bar.
Cool down: 90/90, QL Straddle, Brettzel
What do you think? Does it look solid or is it far too pull oriented?
