What will happen if someone adds cleans/snatches before a hypertrophy session. and Why? For example Having 7 sets of 3 reps of Cleans then 4sets of 10 of Squats? Will there be any progress?

any progress on what? what are you trying to get out of the cleans/snatches? what are you trying to get out of the hypertrophy? how intense will the clean/snatches be? how about the squats?

come on, now.

Hmm, as in General progress. Will I gain power and hypertrophy doing both cleans (assuming max effort with 80% max cleans) and max effort hypertrophy (4x10 of let's say15 rep max)? Or that session will only lead to over training?

My work-out was, 3x7 of cleans; 4x10 Squats; 2x10 walking lunges; 2x10 Leg Curls Plus Pull Ups and Dips. The Squats and Walking Lunges are max effort (lead to maximum fatigue) while my cleans are max effort but not max weight (a little light).

doing cleans or snatches before squatting is a great way to fire up the cns and make the squat workout even better. If youre primary focus is hypertrophy then do something like 3x5 w/ the oly variant, if your primary focus is power and speed, do something like 6 x 3 w/ oly variant.

Those two sets scheme can go with 4x10 hypertrophy squatting and depending on the rep scheme (3x5 or 6x3 ), I will get my hypertrophy or power focus? Or the hypertrophy 4x10 scheme will change volume depending on the focus (power or volume)?
