Not surprisingly, the volume follows see-saw-like shape, just like in the books. As the intensity rises, the volume decreases. Another observation – in snatch the volume actually goes down over three microcycles as more work is done with heavier bells. Nice illustration of how to train correctly.

Thanks for the very interesting info Eugene. The periodization of his program is evident via the raw data and your graphics. As many athletes over train I think it would be very helpful in using the concepts from Spiridon's program to know what his totals were going into the program. BTW, I'm not suggesting that he was overtraining.
Is that info available on his post(s)?
Thanks,
David
I'm wondering if you always keep the Jerk and Snatch waves in synch? I could see some benefit to a cycle where the Jerks increase as the Snatch decreases (sort of shifting focus back and forth from one lift to the other)... just curious is this is ever advised?
David, I wil ask Spiridon about his numbers.
Tommy, I am not sure about that. This is the first program that plans periodization for both jerk and snatch over several microcycles. I guess you could argue for both approaches.
