Simply Strong + Olympic Movements takes everything you love about the original Simply Strong program and adds an explosive element. Following the same 8-week, 3-day-per-week full-body structure, this version incorporates a variation of the clean, jerk, or snatch into each workout to develop power and explosiveness alongside traditional strength and hypertrophy training. You'll still target the fundamental compound movements through a combination of strength-focused and hypertrophy-focused exercises, but now with an added emphasis on athletic performance. Designed for advanced lifters who are already proficient in Olympic weightlifting and want to build serious strength without sacrificing speed, power, or explosiveness.
