Hey guys this is my first post on the fourms. I am currently using the 5/3/1 program and I am seeing great improvement.I was wondering if anyone has in some way implemented olympic lifting in with the program? and how did they do it if so?
Just do the clean or snatch prior to the main lift - that’s what I have recommended.
I didn’t feel great doing the main lifts after oly lifts, I just couldn’t make it work for me, I know the way JW recommends worked for a lot of my mates though.
I found
day 1 squat 531, bench 531 and acc
day 2 rest
day 3, C+J and snatch
day 4 rest
day 5 press 531, dead 431 and acc
day 6 rest
day 7 snatch and C+J
day 8 rest
rinse and repeat. worked well for me.
I made sure I front squatted as an accessory to squat and deadlift too as my o lifts only move if my FS is.
like I say, loads of people did well with snatch and C+J prior to their main lift but for me I couldn’t get away with it. YMMV
