Old School Muscle Building . . . High Rep Olympics Lifts

Strength and conditioning specialist, and a MILO author to boot, Karsten Jensen recently created a program called Old School Muscle Building with The Olympic Lifts – High and Low Repetition Cluster Training.

Old school, including some high-rep work on snatches and clean and jerks, for building muscle—that’s what’s in Karsten Jensen’s latest training program.  IronMind® | Artwork courtesy of Karsten Jensen.

 “The high rep day is based on Peary Rader’s original program, which is why I thought you might be interested,” Jensen said.  “I feel that the notion, often mentioned, that high rep Olympic weightlifting is dangerous, is misguided.  It’s about how it’s done.”
