so they don’t interfere with the proper execution of

the lifts. This is a three-day-per-week periodized

program that extends over 13 weeks.

MORE POWERIf you have more than a year of training under

your belt, then proceed to the intermediate

program. This program is designed for continued

strength and technical development in the first and

second pull, plus the receiving position of the

barbell. Follow the same guidelines in the previous

paragraph for rest intervals between sets. This is a

four-day-per-week periodized program that extends

over 13 weeks.

If you’re an advanced weightlifter, you’ve

entered the stage where specialization in your

specific challenge areas becomes critical for

continued success. At this point, training becomes

an individualized proposition that is far more

complex than just assigning sets and reps, which is

why I did not include a program for you. To

address your needs adequately, you’ll need to enlist

a qualified weightlifting coach who will guide you

in turning your challenge areas into

strengths.

Power Into ExcellenceThe weightlifter’s approach to training the pull

By Mike Favre, MEd, CSCS

the following programs are designed for a beginner

and intermediate weightlifter with an emphasis on

the pulling component of the snatch and the clean

and jerk, the classical lifts. Only the work sets have

been given; I’m assuming that you know how to

warm up properly by doing progressive warm-up

sets before attempting the work sets. All

percentages for exercises relating to the snatch

and the clean are to be based on your best

snatch and best clean and jerk respectively.

Most of the training percentages for the

classical lifts are in the range of 75 to 90% 1-

rep max because this has been shown to be the

best range for improvement in these lifts.3, 4

The reps on the classical lifts have been kept

at three and under due to their technical and

physical demands.1, 2, 5 On clean and jerks,

3x3+2 recognizes that the exercise consists of

two components, the clean part and the jerk

part. Therefore, the first 3 refers to doing

three sets total, the second 3 refers to the

number of cleans per set, and the +2 refers to

the number of jerks per set. So the 3+2

designation means that you’d actually perform

one clean followed by two clean and jerks.

NEW TO POWERIf you’re in your first year of training and

working diligently on the technique of the

classic lifts, the beginner program applies to

you. The program is designed to develop and

strengthen the first and second pull, including

the receiving position (the bottom position

where you catch the bar) in the snatch and

clean. Also to be emphasized are max strength

and your technical proficiency. The rest intervals

between sets will vary depending upon the

technical difficulty of the lifts. For example, you’ll

require more rest for the classical lifts (3 to 5

minutes) than for the Romanian deadlift (2 to 3

minutes). The rest intervals must be long enough
