When programming for the slow strength lifts (squat, press, pull) I always provide some sort of prescription unlike the working sets above. I do this with slow strength compared to Olympic lifts because:
• the intensities from a load perspective are so much higher • the length and duration of the eccentric contraction yields much more stress (Olympic lifts have zero) • you can grind out a power lift rep or two, unlike Olympic where you get it or don’t The two main ways I do this with the example above are: • 4x6@70-80 • 4x4-8@75% You could also do a combination of rep range and percentage range, but I find that gives most athletes so many options they are rarely confident with their choices.
