I did end up doing squats on sunday but needed to wait several hours until the lactic cleared from my brain.
3x8 squats @ 335lbs
3x10 weighted hip thrusts @ 225lbs
I’ve planned out my lifting for GPP and it will be very simple and involve squats 3 days per week. 2 days of 8 rep squatting and 1 day of 4 rep box squatting. This is based off of my lifting from last season where I concurrently did 10s and 5s and this worked very well for my lifting and helped match the CNS demands of each training day. I switched up the reps scheme a little though to add some variation. As we progress through GPP and get into SPP I’ll switch one of the 8 rep days to a 4 rep day to match the increasing CNS intensity. I might change things up by switching to front squats for a month, and then to banded box squats ect…Eventually, the 8 rep day might be removed completely I havent planned that far ahead yet.
I’m thinking of leaving cleans out for this season. I’ll replace them with a higher volume of explosive throws. I think the throws are fantastic, closer on the force-velocity curve and not nearly as technical. My clean form just isnt going anywhere. I think I need some technical lessons from an actual Olympic lifter because most coaches here just cant teach it properly.
Tonight is an acceleration day and my highest CNS day of the week. The workout will probably consist of Accels, throws, plyos and lifting.
