Jessica is going to come up with an Olympic lifting program for me, hopefully in the next few weeks. Really looking forward to this. It should be a six-week cycle, so maybe we'll start after the holidays, or maybe we can do a two-week mini-cycle in December and then reboot in January. Presumably, this will include lots of overhead squats and snatch balance, which will really help with range of motion and should get me moving towards a full squat snatch. Power clean will be critical to build power. I honestly can't wait for this.

Some movements I hope to see in her program:

Snatch Grip Deadlift
Standing Calf Raise
Plate Raise
Dumbell Tricep Extension

Triceps are a weakness in the current programming. We occasionally do ring dips, but I don't think ring dips are very effective for people at my stage. Later, when I am both lighter and stronger, I can see them being a highly superior movement, but for right now they are just too difficult - too much instability. I think improving my tricep strength alone would improve my press by 5 pounds.
