Thread: Adding Olympic lifts to Westside Routine.

depends on what your goals are with the olympic lifts. are you trying to be a better olympic lifter, or are you trying to be a better powerlifter and improve the big three?

Id like to improve the big three and improve form on O lifts. I'm wondering if some o lifts can help get stronger in the big 3.

put the o-lifts on your dynamic effort day....power cleans for several sets (6-10) for low reps (1-3) and medium intensity (70-85%).

Thanks pfunk!

just be careful you don't go too heavy on the Oly lifts. Almost everyone who I've worked with who wanted to do both Oly lifting and Pling at the same time ended up getting real burned out.

Lou wouldn't really recommend doing any oly lifting if your goal is to squat bench and deadlift more

I see. So p funk is saying to do them on DE day, should I do it on a lower or upper DE?

if you have to do them, do them on upper DE day

ya I haven't decided yet. because I already am doing around 20 sets per work out, I dont know where I would fit them in with out taking some thing else important out.
