    Is snatching once per week and cleaning once per week enough??
    Last lifts were 47.5kgx2x4/50kgx3 snatch and 75kgx2x4/77.5kgx3 clean

    next weeks lifts will be
    50kgx2x4/52.5kgx3 Snatch
    77.5kgx2x4/80kgx3 Clean

    Bw 94kg, so obviously these lifts are very low!!

    Depends what your goals are, If your already following another strength program or do other sports than once a week is fine, If you want to focus on Olympic lifting alone then you would need to be training at least 4 or 5 times a week.

    Enough for what?

    Once a week isn't enough unless you just want to do them for the craic. If you want to improve technically, 2-3 times minimum. Even just bar work as a warm up 2-3 times a week would make a big difference.

    3 times a week is enough for someone starting out. You don't need to train 4-5 times a week it just offers the chance to get more quality sessions on each lift which isn't a priority for a beginner.

    Goals are
    BW Snatch
    1.5BW Clean

    I don't want to do them just for the craic, I want to get technically proficient and stronger at both the lifts!!

    You should get some coaching on them by a certified coach and then get them to do a plan for you. It would be better than spending time figuring out what's best when the expertise exists in people who are certified to do it.

    Then yeah, 3 times a week minimum. It usually takes a year plus to snatch bodyweight. You would do well to get some coaching too if you really want to improve technically. What you think you're doing and what you're actually doing can often be very different things.

    Good luck with it, whatever you do.

    Thanks for all of the input, I'll look I to coaching and getting a solid program!!
