THE “A & P”
This is a tough one. It’s 4 days per week and contrasts loading between the anterior
chain (the “A”) and the posterior chain (the “P”). (Similar to the “Up and Over.”) Days 1
and 3 the anterior chain takes a beating and then on days 2 and 4 the posterior chain
takes a beating. Don’t worry though, the loads wave. Days 1 and 4 are “light” and days 2
and 3 are “heavy.” And yes, take a day off between days 2 and 3.
Weight selection: Use whichever is weaker - your Snatch or Press 12RM.
