]]> Comment on Part 3: Various Phases of Athlete Preparation by Allison King http://lifthard.com/part-3-various-phases-of-athlete-preparation/#comment-752 Allison King Sat, 21 Jan 2012 14:26:26 +0000 http://lifthard.com/?p=233#comment-752 Great Post! This info answers so many questions I have about the chinese wl system. I am a wl coach in Seattle, WA and typically have coached and been coached using a Bulgarian/American system. I also do a lot of CrossFit type exercise (read hi reps, low weight). When I mix the two together, I get the best results. Just Bulgarian, I get weak. just CrossFit, I arm pull. Thanks! Great Post!

I was just wondering how a beginner would work up to such volume. I'm thinking the basic template would be very similar, just with lighter weights to help recovery, and within months just build up from there. Am I wrong?

After a few reps of ironing out the kinks in technique for that set, you'll get a better feel for the technique. Fatigue + repetitions=good feel for technique. We have repeatedly found that every time a lifter trains with higher repetitions, they find themselves hitting old PB's, very very comfortably, which usually brings on new PBs. Particularly, if you can rep your previous 1RM for 3 sets of triples, you can expect your 1RM to have raised by at least a couple kilos. Anything with high repetition, concentration/isolation work will help in general wrist training. For sure. Bit a bit of bodybuilding in there for your own good. Of course.

I have to throw in some higher rep sets. I have noticed that my technique feels "crisper" on the last rep of higher rep sets simply because its impossible to make the set that fatigued otherwise. I also have recurrent problems with my joints (especially wrists, my wrists are like a 5 year old girls even though I am a 95kg male) when going heavier so may be I need some more reps with lighter weights. Talking about wrists, do you know any good exercises for injury prevention and general wrist training? I see thanks! I have to throw in some higher rep sets.

I usually get it, with the snatches, but by the time the CNJ's come in, I'll slow down each set and rep. All these reps, are very important to strengthen/reinforce the correct neural pathways for good technique, built joint and ligament/tendon strength and increase the work capacity. Above all, to create a solid base when restarting training. A lot of times, people talk about power, speed in weightlifting. They forget that power and speed alone is pointless without technique. Nothing builds technique better than working with a quickly depleting tank with repetitions. I try to keep it within 90 seconds to 2 minutes, most of the time.

Do you keep a high pace through out the workouts? Why are all snatches (and squats) done for such high reps? Damn that volume makes me fee like a sissy lol!
