Daily Doubles! Weekly Weightlifting Workouts – Snatch Focus: Week 2
Week 2 of your snatch cycle! Same basic concepts: shoot for good (contest legal; safe) technique, rather than “max” weights; get lots of total volume (sets x reps); and have as much fun as possible! You’ll notice there is more of a focus on pulls over squats during this cycle. I’ve always felt that your […]
Daily Doubles! Weekly Weightlifting Workouts: Sept 14 – Snatch Focus: Week 1
It’s Snatch Time! Specifically, we’re starting a 4-week snatch-focused cycle. Your goal is to accumulate at least 30 to 50 reps on the snatch per day, 7-days a week, for the next month. The following will ensure that, even if you’re only doing the minimum. If you are less advanced, the goal is 30 to […]
Daily Doubles! Weekly Weightlifting Workouts: Sept 7
Week 5 of a Squat Strength Cycle. This is your “taper”, or rather, a slight deload (lowering of the total load of your weekly workouts). That said, don’t mistake this as a “contest taper”, as it isn’t meant to deload you that much. Your total load is certainly much lower this week than it was […]
Daily Doubles! Weekly Weightlifting Workouts: August 31 – September 6

Daily Doubles! Weekly Weightlifting Workouts: August 24 – 30
We’re in the 3rd week of a squat strength cycle. Last week was a lot of higher volume work sets. This week is more of a mix. You’ll be doing high volume work in the mornings. But in the evening sessions you will have many attempts at heavy (even max) singles. If you’re new to […]
Daily Doubles! Weekly Weightlifting Workouts: August 17 – 23
Here is your weekly set of twice-per-day workouts. We’re in the 2nd week of a squat strength cycle. You’ll be regularly hitting a squat workout of ours named Super Nova, which is an attempt to get 35 total reps in as little as 3 sets with a specific weight (for instance, 3×12 would do it). […]
Daily Doubles! Weekly Weightlifting Workouts: August 10 – 16
This is the first installment of a weekly set of “daily double” workouts for those who would like to start lifting twice a day. These are exclusively designed for an “intermediate” level lifter (or above), that is, someone past our White Belt phase. It is expected that the first few days (even weeks) of training […]
