I made my own training plans, as I had learned through trial and error what suited me best.
Because of the restrictions which training in the kitchen imposed on me ( I could not drop the barbell because I would damage the floor) I concentrated on the Power Assistant Exercises.
One third of my training was devoted to the Press and Press assistant movements such as Strict Press. Press Behind Neck,Tricep Press, Dumbell Press and Push Press.
Power Snatch was a great favourite of mine and I performed it with very little dip concentrating on full extension and a long pull.
I usually planned my training in six week periods, for eaxmple if I had a big contest I would start 18 weeks before and aim for target totals every 6 weeks. The following is one week taken from my Training Log for the week of June 5th to June 12th 1972:
