 I would start off making every monday and friday workout the routine I listed, the one exception is change the squat to either box squats 1 inch above parallel on friday or pin squats at a similar depth, you should be able to use more weight on the friday squatting exercise than you did on mondays :

dynamic warm up + rfi line hops (front to back, side to side, front to back one leg, side to side one leg)

Hang Snatch - 4x3-5

Squat-4x5-8

RDL- 3 x 6-8

forward lunge- 2x10-12

standing calf raise- 2x15-20

Increase the weight when you hit the upper end of the rep range on each exercise, make SURE you either do more reps each time or more weight.  Once you get going on this routine we can monitor when you need to change things but for now that will keep you progressing nicely.

  You can keep the jumping how you like it for now, I would take the box jumps out and do something more productive like three step max jumps or standing vertical jumps though.

Ok, I can get into the gym more as much you need me to.  I don't know what you mean about the squat.  Should I be box squatting twice a week?  Can you clarify that?  When do you think I would be starting up plyometrics?  Just curious.

Also, do you want me doing the exercises in the order listed?  Start off with the hang snatch?

 Free squat on monday, box squat on friday.  Do the exercises in the order listed yes, the olympic variant will give you good activation for the following lifts.  You dont need intensive plyometrics right now, you will progress better and much more safely with what youre doing for a while, Ill let you know as soon as its time to turn up the intensity.

Ok, cool.  Can I still full squat on Monday?  If so, I have been doing a 3 reps x8 sets scheme...is that ok to stick with?  I have no idea what my weight would be on 5-8 reps.  I can switch it up though if you think I should.

Also, is Monday/Friday workout scheme the best?  I can do it another day, I was just doing M/F because that's what the vertfreak template had.

 The 5-8 gives you some room so that you can increase the weight, if you only hit 5, stay there, if you hit 8 increase. Its not hard to figure out what weight you can use, base it off your last workout and go for either a rep pr or a pr in weight.  You are only free squatting and only box squatting once per week so you should be able to increase every workout for quite a while.  And yes, free squats mean full squat or squat to the depth you can reach with good form.  Mon and Thursday would be better if you can do it that way.

Ok, sounds good.  Last question...Since I have been squatting at a maximum effort for the past 3 weeks (this week would make the 4th consecutive week) should I take time to deload after this week or just keep going?  I have been making increases of 5 pounds a week in my sets so far.

 If youre legs/hips feel beat up you can use a lighter weight on the free squat day but at your current training level youre not going to need a "deload" nearly as often as you may think, the box squat day gives the free squat a "deload" in its own way anyhow.  I would do everything as listed and log it in your journal for now, its alot easier to guide you one way or another when we can see whats going on workout to workout.

Hey Lance,

Here are the results from this week of training

Wednesday:
Hang snatch - 85 pounds, 4 sets, 5 reps on each set
Full squat (ATG) 220 pounds, 8 sets, 3 reps on each set
RDL- 225 pounds, 3 sets, 8 reps on each set
Forward lunge, 180 pounds 2 sets, 11 reps, 10 reps
Standing calf raise, 150 pounds 20 reps on both sets

Sunday:
Hang snatch - 90 pounds, 4 sets, 5 reps on each set
Box squat 245 pounds, 4 sets, 8 reps on each set
RDL- 230 pounds, 3 sets, 8 reps on each set
Forward lunge, 180 pounds 12 reps on both sets
Standing calf raise, 155 pounds 20 reps on both sets

Notes:  The gym was closed for a few days during this week so I had to go Wednesday and Sunday.  I did some core work at home on Thursday.  Tuesday I did core and  I was able to do about 16 jumps broken into manageable sets.  I was at 30.5" on at least two of the standing vertical jumps which is up from 30."  I don't know if this was a one time thing or not.
