Hey All,
Just wondering your thoughts about replacing the DL’s in PTTP with Zercher Squats?
Goals are GPP with the plan to compete in the spring and fall TSC’s as a way to monitor progress.
I have decided to follow Brett Jones article
“To Every Season: A simple way to Structure A Year of Training”
Block 1: Q&D + Minimalist DL’s - Snatch Only
3x wk w/ pull-ups 2x week (FPP - spread out)
Block 2: Kettlebell STRONG: Clean & Press 3x wk
Block 3: PTTP: Zercher SQ & Bench Press (Swiss bar - friendlier on my shoulders) 3x wk
Block 4: Simple & Sinister 5x wk
With a variety of low volume swings, TGU’s, goblet squats and rucking mainly filling in my “off days”.
I’m not against deadlifting, I just figured with all the swings/snatches/cleans I was getting a lot of hip-hinge movements while the squat pattern is almost non-existent.
The Zercher should still have good carry-over when I go to do my TSC deadlift without demolishing myself with 3 months of deadlifting prior to.
