Masters Olympic Weightlifting

Team Warm-Up

Following is a complete warm-up. You don’t need to do all of it—use as much of it as you need. 1. 2-10 min monstructural (bike, row, etc) 2. Foam Rolling Series 3. Dynamic Warm-up (DROM) Series 4. Lower Body WU Mobility Series 5. Upper Body WU Mobility Series

Prep E-1

1-3 sets: P1. IYT x 5/5/5 P2. Glute-Ham Bridge Walkout x 6-10 P3. Wall Slide + Lift-off x 10-15 Think of this as the minimum—feel free to do any of these exercises on other days as well, and of course, add others you have found are necessary or valuable for you.

Snatch with No Jump from Power Position

4 x 3 @ 40, 43, 43, 43 %

Snatch

3 x 3 @ 70, 75, 75 %

Floating Halting Snatch Deadlift on Riser

Back Squat

3 x 5 @ 70, 75, 75 %

2 sets: A1. DB Lunge x 10-12/leg A2. Weighted Plank x 20-30 sec The goal is to gradually increase the weight you can use in these exercises. Once you reach the top of the rep range, increase the weight slightly and use it until you can again reach the top rep number. Effort should be moderate to high, but remember this is accessory work, so don’t blow yourself out. For upper body exercises, you can push until near failure on last set.

Team Post-Workout Stretching

Do this complete circuit, or use only the stretches you need. You can also do some stretches between accessory work sets to save time. Hold each stretch for 20-60 seconds. If you use shorter holds, ideally do 2-3 sets of the series. Breathe deeply and try to relax into the stretches. Don’t push to the point of straining—if you’re sore the next day, you’re stretching too hard. You can also do most of these stretches as PNF contract-relax reps: Get into a stretched position and hold for 20-30 seconds, then isometrically contract the muscle(s) you’re stretching for 5-6 seconds at about 40-50% effort, then relax and move into a deeper stretch for 5-6 seconds, and repeat this 5-6 times. You can also add a contraction of the agonist muscles as you move into the deeper stretch, e.g. if stretching the hamstrings, tighten the quads and hip flexors.
