| *May squat first (or in AM), then lifts, then pulls/other auxiliary lifts last (unless in meet prep phase-lifts first) (if squat first-doing cleans before snatches can help) |
| *Goal each week/wave: match or beat last week/past numbers |
| *Note: Lift % based on top classical lifts. In some cases Work sets listed only) |
| *Individual edits and adjustments can be made for your needs (to program and %). Communicate with your coaches and never assume! |
