This is the base training phase for the Monster2Master program that is designed to build leg and pressing strength while giving the base lifts a full technical training cycle.

The Monster2Master training program is my personal training cycle that is focused on me transitioning from Monstering the bar over my head to Mastering the technique of Olympic Weightlifting. 

The base phase is building strength in overhead press (You can never have enough.) and squat (The legs feed the wolf.) While the physical development comes from squat and press, focusing on full lifts instead of auxiliary movements for technical improvement contrasts with the last training phase focused on deadlifts and auxiliary moves.

Here's a link to my blog post explaining the program more.

This is the warm-up for Olympic weightlifting recommended by Greg Everett of Catalyst Athletics. Use it as-is, or substitute/omit/add drills as needed to address your individual needs. If cold and/or particularly sore or stiff, begin with 2-5 minutes of monostructural activity like rowing, cycling or jogging. You can follow this with a quick and light foam rolling series, shown here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhTP4... Then run through this series of DROM drills before beginning your specific barbell warm-up for your first exercise. 10-15 reps (10-30 seconds x 1-3 sets for the 2 static exercises).
