Lacie’s Olympic Lifting Complexes
Every so often, the O lifting bug returns to our gym. I still believe that the O lifts (Snatch, Clean and Jerk) supplemented with some Loaded Carries like Farmer Walks is all an athlete will ever need.
So, Lacie Helfert and a few others have been learning the O lifts. I use Dave Turner’s templates, but I also use complexes for training. Lacie came up with some excellent ones:
Snatch Complex
1. RDL (Sn Grip)
2. HANG SNATCH
3. OVERHEAD SQUAT
4. BACK SQUAT
Clean Complex
1. RDL (Cl Grip)
2. HANG CLEAN
3. PUSH JERK
4. FRONT SQUAT
Jerk Complex
1. POWER CLEAN
2. Mil PRESS
3. BACK JERK
4. FRONT JERK
Overhead Complex
1. HANG CLEAN
2. MIL PRESS
3. FRONT JERK
4. FRONT SQUAT
I suggest three sets of eight, five by five, or five by two. You can read up on them at:
