So I’ve decided to hit the weights again after a 2 year hiatus. I’ve been doing starting strength and liking that but my favourite lifting remains olympic style lifts (squats, cleans, snatches and their variants) Has anyone here ever done olymlic weightlifting programs as a compliment to their TR w…

I lift 3x a week at a USA Weightlifting team gym and coached by someone who does some track racers who also go the gym. Here is part of what I wrote in another thread: [image] Failing workouts after taking up weight training I perform my lifts on the same day as my TR interval days, so that is …

FYI I recently saw an announcement by DialedHealth.com of a forthcoming olympic lifting program. I don’t think it’s out yet but you could send Derek a DM on Instagram (@dialedhealth) and see what he has in mind. I’ve used his workouts and programs to support my main activity (cycling). He does a t…

I’m curious to what he has to say. I’ve looked at his plans and they’re a lot more Plyo, TRX, etc type focuses as opposed to an olympic lifting style. I’m a big fan of Erin Carson though. She co-owns Boulder RallySport / EC Fit and does a lot of strength and conditioning with high level IronMan/Wom…

[image] Stronglifts 5 x 5 Training Hi fellas, Curious if anyone is using or has used the Stronglifts 5 x 5 app during off-season training to add some structure to their strength training program. I’m currently in week 3 of Stronglifts and really like it because of the st…

I think the 5x5 Strongman might be too much weight volume in terms of RPE. You need to ramp up over 4 weeks, deload, then reset.

I’m killing myself on it at the moment :smiley: With Olympic Build MV and 3x10km running. Day 1: a.m. vo2max interval bike, p.m. aerobic 10km run Day 2: a.m. 5x5 X3 then rest day

How many calories a day are you eating?! That gap days / active recovery, and two days off are the only way I get away with what I do. The track guys do 4x a week, then stuff like cadence drills, sprint starts, etc on the bike, and maybe an easy long ride on Sunday. For me, I see it as the gym wo…

I’m eating something every 1-2hrs, not gaining weight (fat or muscle) but I am stronger than last time around. By the way I would not recommend this, it was an experiment. I had intended to do my strength block without bike or run in Nov/Dec last year but life/Zwift happened. My fuzzy logic was to …
