I’ve kind of warmed up to doing 3 full body sessions during the week. Technically the (heavy, light, medium) approach is probably what i should be doing , because typically after a few days of rest i have a very productive 1st workout, but then especially with squatting heavy i feel like 48 hours isnt quite enough recovery for me, my legs arent that sore or anything but i just cant move the same or heavier weight.
I think ill probably follow something like this for a while :
back squat
press
snatch variations
Rows or chins/pullups
Front squat/ overhead squat
bench
clean variations
chins/pullups
-I think i can only handle heavy deadlifts once a week. If i try to deadlift heavy twice during the week im usually not moving more weight than last time, and its probably counter productive. I also read a few articles saying that its smarter to switch up the type of deadlifting you are doing every week rather than always pulling the same way . I would probably alternate snatch deads with regular deads.
-Im more concnerned with increasing my overhead press than the bench press.
-I like practicing snatch movements because they are a good all around power exercise and they seem to be the reason for the added muscle on my trapezius.

Those are all great choices as far as exercises, but your program is lacking the most important thing: progression. Following a program with no built in progression is a horrible idea, and completely unneccesary.
