I am encouraged greatly by the fact that you even think you may have to alter your training to ensure victory!

You could argue that all olympic stuff is DE, considering it's all explosive... :P

I'd prefer to gain without pain.

I thought this would be a bit better just a suggestion, I may be way off thou

Trying to mix Olympic and powerlifting is a hard ask

Only just gone back over this thread and looked at this properly.

John H - I really like this split - Thanks - 5 exercises on DE days and 4 on ME days feels right and is where I needed to get to - I just hadn't put in the thought process to get there properly.

For a few weeks I'll change it slightly though:

1 - I'll probably do more shoulder press type work for the next few weeks rather than jerks becasue of my shoulder needing a break from the 'rough' stuff

2 - I'll probably keep doing box squats to get used to the depth - Plus I relly like them as they're doing my legs the world of good - Getting some good muscle growth around the lower quads which is what I need.
