Ready for your next Snatch and Clean & Jerk PR?

This program is one of the most successful (and challenging) programs our team has ever followed, and the results are insane. This program is not easy by any means, don't expect it to be. But if you're willing to put in the work, you'll see the rewards.

I've included some cool tips for how you can modify this to fit your specific technique and strength weak points as if I was there coaching you in-person. This means you basically get 1-on-1 programming, for less than half the price.

If you're a somewhat experienced weightlifter - you know how to do the snatch and clean and jerk, have somewhat accurate maxes, and are willing to train hard, this program is for you. However, if you don't have 4-5 days per week to dedicate to training, then check out the 3-Day version of this program below! https://marketplace.trainheroic.com/workout-plan/program/chambers-program-1733502413?attrib=549578-tw

If you are new to weightlifting - meaning you don't know how to do the olympic lifts, this program isn't for you (yet). Instead I'd recommend checking out my free Weightlifting101: Beginner Guide + 6-Week Program below! I'ts got everything you need to learn the lifts! https://big-bend-strength.kit.com/weightlifting101

FAQs
Who is this for?
This program is for the every day weightlifter. If you know how to do the snatch, clean, and jerk, then you'll benefit from this program. This program is not for anyone who isn’t willing to put in hard work or can’t focus for 12 weeks. Give me 12 weeks, I’ll give you PR’s a-plenty.
How long are the workouts?
Workouts can take anywhere from 60-90 mins, depending on how much you yap between sets. If you need to modify the workouts for times-sake, you can always remove exercises as needed or message me for assistance.
What if I don’t have the equipment?
You can do this program with a barbell, bumper plates and squat rack. It’s recommended to have a full set of dumbbells as well, but if you don’t we can definitely modify the exercises to fit your gym. Just shoot me a message and I’ll be happy to help!
Is this program for beginners?
If you’ve never done the Olympic Lifts (snatch, clean, or jerk) then should start with our free Weightlifting101 Program, but if you have, then this program is for you!
