Hypothetically speaking, you can only Oly lift one night a week, focusing on technique not Max’s/PBs, and you powerlift of a morning as below. Which day do you do it on and why?
Mon: Max Effort Lower
Tues: Dynamic Upper
Thurs: Max Effort Upper
Fri: Dynamic Lower
By only focusing on technique, what do you mean? Like minimal weight, just bar work? Or are you talking like a full planned workout with percentages, sets/reps with both CNS and muscle fatigue?

Weight but not going for Max - working up to 80-90% of 1RMs
I could see it on either dynamic or max effort lower body. I could see if on Max effort if you’re working with a high volume of singles (10+ for snatch and clean and jerk each). Especially with a few singles at whatever you feel is 90% for the day.
But if you worked up to maybe 70/80% for a couple 5-8 doubles, I think that would be a pretty good dynamic effort lower day.
I say lower because when done correctly, most of the upper body acts mostly as a support rather than active movers.
I think it would be more beneficial earlier in the week when you’re not as fatigued. You might be able to go harder, move the weight faster and all that.

I would not call 90% of 1RM “technique work”. I would call that a workout.
Why only once a week?
I’d have to agree with that.
Thanks for your time!!
