Daily Doubles! Weekly Weightlifting Workouts – Snatch Focus: Week 2

September 20, 2015 by Nick Horton

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 […]

September 14, 2015 by Nick Horton

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

September 6, 2015 by Nick Horton

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

August 30, 2015 by Nick Horton

We’re in the 4th week of a squat strength cycle. We’ve got one more after this. Next week will be a kind of taper, or at least as close to one as I’m willing to let someone do, LOL. This week is more about ramping up your intensity in both your speed and in your […]

Daily Doubles! Weekly Weightlifting Workouts: August 24 – 30

August 23, 2015 by Nick Horton

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

August 16, 2015 by Nick Horton

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). […]
