Olympic Lifting Day Wk 9

Since I skipped a week last week, I decided to start out fresh and call this 'week 9'. That's how long I have been sticking to the strength-oriented EDT template. Yep, Charles Staley is on to something here :

Power Snatch w/ 30kg x 3 + 3 Drop Snatches
Power Snatch w/ 50kg x 1,1,1,1

[Power Snatch w/ 62kg x 1 x HP, HP, HP
1 minute rest]

1 minute rest]

[Pistols w/ 24kg x 2 x 5
2 minutes rest]

[32kg Snatch x 5 x 5
2 minutes rest]

NOTES:
-The power snatches weren't happening so I decided to do some high pulls, to get
more accustomed to the weight. Will make it next time.

Pistols, Snatches & HIT

[Pistols w/24kg x 2 x 3
3 minutes rest]

32kg snatch x 6 (L&R)*

HIT:
Front Squat w/ 50kg x 6 (heels elevated)
Front Squat w/ 70kg x 5
Back Squat w/ 90kg x 3
Calf Raise w/ BW + 10kg x 12 (L&R)**
Floor Press w/ 2x24kg x 12
BW Muscle Up x 3
Floor Press w/ 2x24kg x 3
BW Muscle Up x 3
Romanian deadlift w/ 100kg x 15 (used straps)

NOTES:
*: The snatches were quite hard after those pistols, that explains the relatively low snatch max
**: Calf raises were too easy, will add twice the weight next time
- Used straps on the Romanian deadlifts because my grip was already pretty tired from the snatches.
- I'm planning on combining this workout with my an olympic lifting day (as my 2nd workout) and a higher volume, lower rest (3rd workout) day which will be based upon the above template of pistols followed by snatches. This way I get to fill in my 3 workouts a week with all kinds of different set/rep ranges and - a plus - I get to investigate the claims of Arthur Jones. (less is more)
