I’ve been snatching twice a week and swinging once a week, after (or on another day) press ladders. The pattern so far:
The goals are:
Would it be better to:
If volume is the key, I would get more of it with swings. But if snatching heavier than test size helps make the test size feel lighter (moreso than heavy swings), that’s a compelling case for heavy, high volume snatch sessions. Probably can’t go wrong either way, but I want to optimize my training time.
- Monday: High volume press ladders (currently working up ladders to 4)
- Tuesday: 30-40 minutes 32kg one-arm swings EMOM
- Last time was 40:00 in sets of 5; next would be sets of 7, starting at least 20:00 working up to 40:00
- Wednesday: Medium press ladders (5 x 1-3) + 15:00 20kg snatches in sets of 10+10
- Thursday: Off
- Friday: Light volume press ladders (5 x 1-2) + 24kg snatch density (currently working on 15 sets of 5/5 EMOM)
The goals are:
- Solid 32kg press each arm
- 100 24kg snatches in 5:00 by TSC time
Would it be better to:
- Continue with 32kg swings, or
- Switch to 28kg snatches
