Autoregulation
Autoregulation is learning how hard your body is able to push itself. It requires you to feel
how much to increase weights in a proper progression to ensure you are thoroughly warmed
up and able to go as heavy as you are able without failing on any sets (unless specified).

Percentage Based Training

Percentage based training is an alternative to autoregulation where the specific weights
to be lifted on each set is based on a percentage of your 1 rep max (1RM) of that lift. All
percentages should be based on your 1RM prior to the beginning of the program. If you do
not know your 1RM, use autoregulation instead.

We do not often use percentage based training as we want you to learn autoregulation to
discover how your body reacts and adapts to training on your own.

Terms and Abbreviations
“Clean” and “Snatch”: If the exercise states only clean or snatch, it is indicating doing the full lift,
pulling from the ground and catching at full depth. Any variation from the standard Olympic lift will be
indicated. For example the exercise will be named “Power Clean” if the bar should be caught tall, or
“Hang Clean” if the bar is to start at the knees.

Ramp: You should increase weight each set, pushing yourself to go heavier until the last set is the
most weight that you can do.

Static: Every set should be the same weight. Typically you should pick a mid range weight, such as
the amount you would lift on the 2nd or 3rd set of a ramping week.

Unbroken: Do not pause at the top or the bottom of the rep, make continuous.

OTM: On The Minute. Set a timer and start each set at the start of every minute.

NB: No brush. The bar may not make contact at the hips for cleans and snatches.

NF: No feet. On cleans and snatches your feet may come up on the toes but may not leave the
ground.

BN: Behind the Neck. The bar is set behind the neck rather than a front rack.

NG: Neutral grip. Hold the dumbbells or grip so that your palms are facing each other.

ECC: Eccentric. Lower the weight slowly.

HAF/HAM: Heavy as F**k, as heavy as possible

SL: Single Leg.

DB: Dumbbell.

KB: Kettlebell.

Alt: Alternating.

Rest Periods
Rest periods are key to follow to spark the proper response to training. By understanding the goal of
each session and to understand the goals behind each exercise, the rest period has an intricate role
in adaptation! Below is a list of general guidelines to follow regarding rest schemes:

Warm Ups
Follow 45-85 seconds of rest between warm up movements

Platform Lifts (Olympic lifts or trap bar jumps)

Allow 90-120 seconds rest UNLESS it is noted as OTM which means On the Minute
OTM = Execute the lift, drop the bar, hit the timer and when one minute expires, do the lift again

Strength Movements (benches, squats, pull ups)

For heavier sets, allow 2-3 minutes rest, for drop sets of higher reps, allow 1-2 minutes

Accessory Movements (back work and mobility work)

Allow 60 seconds recovery and then begin the exercise again.

Skips and Plyometrics

Allow 60-90 seconds rest

Sled and Sprints

Allow 90-120 Seconds of rest for optimal recovery
Learn the Olympic Lifts
The Olympic lifts are essential to improving explosive strength, mobility, and stability. Proficiency in
the snatch and clean and jerk will give you the advantage you need over your opponents.
