Strength & Conditioning – Greg Everett: Week 1, Day 2

Welcome to the first week of workouts by Greg Everett. These workouts are inspired by Olympic weightlifting, but will benefit anyone who wants to gain strength and improve lifting technique.

Written by Greg Everett Last updated on July 10, 2012

Greg Everett literally wrote the book on Olympic weightlifting – when he was trying to learn the sport he couldn’t find the resources he needed, so he created them himself. Now a gym owner and full-time coach, Greg shares three weeks of his weightlifting programming with us.

The intent of these three weeks is to balance building strength and correct postures. Greg’s intention is also to give the athlete enough exposure to the classic lifts, or variants, that they will ingrain proper movement and an ability to hold the technique well.

To learn more about Greg, read our feature interview:

Featured Coach: Greg Everett, Part 1 – The Dream of Professional Weightlifting

Featured Coach: Greg Everett, Part 2 – The Next Generation of Coaches

Workout – Week 1, Day 2

Power clean + power jerk – 75% (of PC) x 2(1+1) x 5

Snatch Balance – 70% (of Snatch) x 3 x 5

Snatch Push Press – 70% (of Snatch) x 5 x 4

Front/side planks x 3 sets

Notation:

Weight x reps x sets or sets x reps

Notes:

If snatch and clean technique is poor, deadlift and pull weights will need to be increased based on feel.

About Greg Everett

Author of one of the best books on Olympic weightlifting, Olympic Weightlifting: A Complete Guide for Athletes & Coaches, Greg Everett found the sport as an adult, but didn't let it stop him from pursuing his dream. He is now the owner of Catalyst Athletics and Performance Menu. His goal is to have a fully-sponsored professional weightlifting team. In the meantime, he has written a second book for athletes outside the sport of Olympic weightlifting, who want to use the lifts to build strength and conditioning.
