Week 1 · Foundation
The approach, how your plan is personalised, and how it adapts as you train.
Most weeks lead with a snatch day and a clean & jerk day, back them with squat and pull strength, and protect the positions with mobility. Technique is learned at light, exact loads before the weights climb; volume builds steadily, then deloads so the skill sticks.

Based on your goal, training level, weekly rhythm and available equipment.
