“Confront the dark parts of yourself, and work to banish them with illumination and forgiveness. Your willingness to wrestle with your demons will cause your angels to sing. Use the pain as fuel, as a reminder of your strength.” August Wilson
Today is the first day of a 12 week program designed by Greg Everett called ‘The Technique and Development Program’. I will be doing other workouts like I promised but my main priority is to get strong and skilled in Olympic Lifting.
Day 1:
Squat 10 x 3 (10 sets of 3)
Shoulder Press 10 x 3 (10 sets of 3)
3 Sets of Assisted HSPU (no more then a 30″ gap between your hands) using bands from the pull up bar (sub max effort)
I can do HSPU, with a normal shoulder width hand placement, but normal is not allowed in my region. I most conform to the 30″ gap or continue to struggle. I do not like to struggle with anything!
In between sets of HSPU, do 50 DU’s.

DU 2 sets of 50 unbroken, last set was to 70 before missing
feeling great about where this is going to take me!
Are you doing all sets at the same weight, or increase and decrease?
I increased the weight as I went, if form started to break I would decrease the weight by 10#’s in the next set
squat weight was 2 sets at 225#, 2 sets at 245#, 2 sets at 265#, 2 sets 275#(pr for 3 reps) then back down to 265#
press weight was 3 sets at 135#, 3 sets at 145#, 3 sets at 155#, 1 set at 165#(with a slight help from a spotter)
I’m really focusing on form as much as possible.
Thanks, just got done w the presses.
