I’m trying to incorporate snatches into my routine, however I’m not really sure where to put them…Here’s how my routine breaks down right now:
Week 1:
Tuesday: Chest/Tri/Shoulders
Wednesday: Quads/Calves
Saturday: Back/Hams/Bi
Week 2:
Tuesday: Chest/Tri/Shoulders
Wednesday: Legs (Quads&Hams) / Calves
Saturday: Back/Bi
Which day would be the optimal fit for snatches do you think?
Man, I’ll do snatches any day I can get 'em!!!
Haha sorry, couldn’t resist…
man thats one weird program
i dont know how you coordinate anything in that program
A bed, kitchen floor, couch, shower… wherever, really.
I would probably do them on the back/hammie day.
Snatches are a full body lift and don’t fit into any particular day of your training schedule.
hmmm yeah I’m sort of vexed…
The reason I split up my routine like that is if I do squats on wednesday, by Saturday my hamstrings and glutes aren’t recovered enough to deadlift worth shit.
and yes snatches are good to do every day hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…sorry I had to join in the fun
Do them first on your leg day.
dont mix full body with split routine
You could try this
Week 2:
Tuesday : Upper body
Wednesday: Lower body
Saturday: Full body
Or since your hams take a long time to recover:
Tuesday: Lower body
Wednesday: Upper body
Saturday: Full body
CT recommends doing them first on you back day in his big back stack program.
I’d say they are more of a back exercise then anything else, so putting them on your back day seems like the obvious choice.
