KB snatch-negpress
Weighted pistols-can do 5-6 very strict reps with 20kilos
Every 3rd workout I do calf raises with 40kilo KB.

I have never experienced such a drop off in strength-usually if i weaken from overtraining i lose at most 2 reps. Maybe the difference is that this is a ballistic move, at least the snatch portion, and my previous experience is with zero momentum training.
Have you tried the ladder approach?
