Rachel On a Roll – Week 1 of 8
 
This is an 8-week cycle that first emphasizes squat strength improvement, and then emphasizes the competition lifts and peaks for competition or testing of the snatch and clean & jerk.
 
Volume: Moderate
Intensity: Moderate
 
Good For:
Leg strength (especially front squat specifically)
 
Notes:  Rep prescriptions like 1+1+1 provide the rep count for each exercise in the complex in order. For example, Clean + Power Jerk + Jerk - 1+1+1 would be 1 clean then 1 power jerk then 1 jerk for each set.
