Catch up time: Training Week(s) - 7/8 - 8/10

Little catch-up time here. I'm starting to transition out of the Catalyst program and back into some of writing my own programming, with a bit of idea generation from Lifthard as well as Glenn Pendlay and the folks at Muscledriver.

Clean Grip Snatches are definitely a staple in my snatch warm-ups. Really liking the carryover to the second and third pulls as well as implied shoulder mobility work. Try them: just hang snatch with a clean grip (empty bar) for a few reps, the go back to your regular snatch grip. It feels like the pull gets cut in half. Nice little trick.

SMOKED. Been getting up at 4am for work all week and it caught up to me. On the plus side I fixed a couple kinks in my clean and snatch pulls, so that's a victory.

That gets us all caught up! I'll start logging my usual Sunday to Saturday format from now on.

I'm back to writing my own programming, with some suggestions along the way. I'm back to the schedule I was on last fall (Tues/Wed/Thurs/Sat/Sun). The rest days spread out a bit more evenly leads to higher quality work. I'm training with an eye towards a meet in November. Right now my intention is to have a snatch day, a clean and jerk day, a squat/strength day, a snatch/cnj/strength day and a snatch/cnj only day. Pulling on all of the days except for the snatch/CnJ only say, which will almost always be on Saturday. I'm also going back to Glenn Pendlay's application of the Texas Method to weightlifting with 3-5x3-5 back squats on Tuesday, 3-5x3 front squats on Thursday and trying to new 5RM back squats on Sundays. Basic schedule looks like this:

Tues - Snatch/CnJ/Back Squat/strength work (classic work here will be off blocks, power work, hang work, etc)
Wed - Snatch-specific
Thurs - CnJ Specific/Front Squat
Sat - Max Snatch and CnJ (lower in volume, higher in intensity)
Sun - Back Squat and Push Press for 5RMs, strength work
