We will be following the Hatch Squat Cycle ( Spreadsheet ) Download this file and insert your 1RM of Back Squat + Front Squat and it will populate all weights for you. For the Clean, Snatch and Jerk we will be following a program I modified from Catalyst Athletics for the 12 weeks.

Each day for the next 12 weeks is already set up and will be as follows:
M - BS+FS and Snatch skill
Tu - Snatch and Clean Pull
W - Clean and Pull-ups
Th - BS+FS and Push Press
Fri - Jerk and Ring Work

Some things may seem monotonous but they will only help develop you as an athlete.

The key to this next cycle is simple...The more you show up , the stronger, better and faster you will be.
