Intermediate Block Periodization Oly Program
Free4.33 (6 reviews)For intermediate Olympic lifters looking to continue building strength and technique
Program Description
This program was developed by Dr. Kyle Pierce for the intermediate Olympic lifter looking to hit new max totals in snatch and clean & jerk. It was developed using Dr. Pierce's research on block periodization to maximize your strength gains. It is divided into 3 phases - phase 1, phase 2 and competition phase. This program is based on the spreadsheet shared on r/weightlifting wiki.
Phase 1 starts with higher volume and lower intensity. The main lifts are done from the hips (hip clean and hip snatch).
Phase 2 volume is dialed back as intensity is dialed up. Main lifts are done from the knee (hang clean and hang snatch).
Phase 3 is a tapering phase in preparation for hitting max attempts on the final day.
