Answering your questions regarding Olympic weightlifting programming, strength coaching, and manipulating training variables to enhance recovery, monitor stress, and increase overall competition performance.

Alec Pagan, of RPE 11, and I sit down to discuss your questions, specifically:

  • What percentage do you use for snatch and clean pull work?
  • What are your favorite accessory exercises for weightlifters/strength athletes who primarily use a barbell?
  • How to train your adrenal system so that you do not gas out on clean and jerks after heavy snatches in a meeting?
  • How frequently should you change snatch and clean and jerk variation lifts, as well as strength/accessory exercises within a program?
  • Best warm up/stabilization drills to do before the clean?
  • 5-day Templar’s program for team athletes (30min)?
