Thank you very much for your advice! Mario Santos Sanz | 2012-02-29 one normally takes more warm ups in the snatch: bar, bar, bar, x 3, x 2, then 1's...for about 2-3 sets....then you should hit a pretty good single and up it from there. in the cj take only 4 sets to get to your start. good luck   Comments Add Comment » Mario Santos 2012-02-29 Thanks very much Coach!And what about the heavy single at front squat? Once I have hit that pretty good single...how many chances of max lift may I give myself?4-5 attempts?would it be too many attemps?I am asking this because I do not want to finish with my shoulder strenght before going into the c&j sets. I am doing the burgener warm up,skill transfer excercises for the snatch and an adaptation of the junk yard dog wu before starting the lifts,because I usually train alone xD so there is no one to jump over. Thanks very much for your help!!Will you come to Europe for an oly seminar? Coach B 2012-02-29 one wants to get to the fs asap. many times i will add a workout like this: fs, sn, fs, cj, fs. the first series of fs may take 4-5 sets, but the 2nd only takes 2-3 and the last 1-2.
