Thats not an intermediate topic ILO. Not gonna make a video on that.
If you have a question, I will answer it in here though if I know the answer.
Obviously everyone is different and its entirely possible that it may work well for you. But there are many indications that the high rep stuff is not going to be conducive for your olympic lifting goals. My reasoning is largely based on information I have read in Supertraining about strength/velocity curves and the very low degree of carryover between different types of force development in rapid movements like those in olympic lifting. I'm not sure how familiar you are with these concepts, so I will hold off on going into detail on my opinion until I know how familiar you are with these concepts.
It should be of extreme practical importance to you that its completely unheard of in Eastern European Olympic Programming to have their athletes go over 7 reps on any exercise. Even their reverse curls are limited to 5-7 reps. Ultimately time will tell when you transition during your next block.
I am aware of the 'very low' degree of carry over from higher rep stuff to the Olympic lifts, and also aware of how the EE OL'ers program their training. I agree with these factors, but you seem to be making assumptions based on your speculations about my training. Yes, I do have Olympic lifting goals, but I am also concerned with other variables as well - not just a very high 1RM Back Squat and Total (sn+c&j). It seems that you may be mistakenly associating me with a 'Bulgarian' style trainee. While it is true that I primarily train with low reps and high intensities, I also firmly believe that higher rep stuff is beneficial for longer term health and general well being of an athlete - be it physical or mental. You may find this to be true during your block of training performing your high rep work as well.
I added your channel to my featured channels list, you should do the same for mine, and we can discuss how we should promote each others channel before we do it on video.
P.S : How important do you think it is that my ankles very immobile in terms of squatting? I feel you probably have an edge over me in terms of your knowledge of squat mechanics. I'm thinking it may be causing adductor/abductor balance issues which cause hip drive issues, which cause back issues, which causes me to feel pain when I squat.
