Plan for Winter Break

I haven't had much time this week to think about what I need to do for the winter. I only have about 6 weeks total of lifting time, maybe a bit more.

I haven't lifted since last Saturday. Hopefully this Tuesday I will lift some.

Here is my plan for the winter. Allows me to do martial arts and not worry about too much.


Basic Plan Outline:


Snatch or variation

Snatch exercise – pull/DL and/or press/balance

Squat – front or back

Chins, situps, dips optional


Clean or clean&jerk or variation

Clean pull/DL and/or press

Squat – front or back

Chins, situps, dips optional


Snatch or variation

Clean or clean&jerk or variation

Press/balance or pull/DL

Squat – front or back

Chins, situps, dips optional


Notes for winter:

*~6 weeks

*possible intensity/volume (based off Mario’s Olympic Program):

70 – high

80 – mid

75 – mid-high

95 – low

100 – low

70 – low
