No Dying! Why Being Lazy Can Save Your Life … In Weightlifting
The biggest mistake that beginners make (as I told you last week) is that they don’t stick to a plan.
Intermediates are really just those few people who went through their beginner training RIGHT and DID stick to the plan. So … congrats if that’s you!!
You stuck to the plan and got some solid results. Sweet!
The problem is that you ain’t no beginner no mo. With this new level of advancement comes a new layer of complexity to your programming. Hammering out the same thing day-in and day-out isn’t going to work the way that it once did.
You need a bit of Ebb and Flow … and just a touch of laziness thrown in for good measure 
I explain further in this video:

Ok, so I have been doing a 3 day a week program (bulgarianish) 20 snatch singles, 10 C&J, 20 C&J, 20 snatch singles, and squatting alternating back and front squats. after the first month I got a couple of PR’s, then it was kind of downhill from there, I still think my technique has been improving but my numbers have really been sucking. What would be a simple way to deload?
Thanks,
Ben
I doubt you need a deload. From what you are telling me, your volume on your oly lifts is rather low.
3 days a week, 20 snatches a day is only 60 snatches per week.
I’d need to see that go up to 100 to 200 GOOD reps per week.
CJ up to 50 or 100 per week
And then squat as much as you can on top.
It is RARE that the reason that you aren’t making progress is because you truly need a deload … very very very rare.
It does happen, when you are doing all of the above and intentionally burying yourself with work. But I tend to only see this in lifters who are well past the beginner phase.
