I’ve read a couple of threads about LIfting Twice a day. I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on a Olympic lifting work out and a Power Lifting Workout in the Same day?
Something like -
Morning:
Clean and Jerk
Jerks from the Rack
Night:
Front Squats
Shoulder Press
I know thats a very rough idea, but the idea is keeping it simple, short, and intense.
Also, any thoughts on adding in some Strong Man Type Training 2-3 Times a week.
Would this training be possible with the Right kind of Pairing of Exercising (Not lifting shoulders 3 times in a day … shoulder-press, log press, jerks from the jack) and with proper recovery. Or would this just lead to Over training Real Quick?
I follow the Westside Method, and work out 2x/day, 6x/week November through February, when I am slower at work. This includes some cardio. I used to go 45 minutes in the morning and 45 minutes in the evening, but this year, I went 30 minutes in the morning and 60 minutes in the evening.
After doing this for three winters, I finally discovered ‘the joy of overtraining’ this February. What did it for me was a switch to elbow-tucked benching, and doing a lot of sumo-style lifting. The change was too much, too fast.
You also gotta make sure that whatever lifts you are doing are actually necessary for your goals. In my case, I do NO calf work, and little curling.
Next winter, I am going to make my ME/RE/DE sessions longer than an hour, and back off on the accessory work, and do an occasional deload week.
