Build Muscle. Set PR's.

If you love doing the olympic lifts, but love how bodybuilding makes you feel, this program is for you.

This is not your typical weightlifting program with a few lazily thrown in accessory exercises. This program is a TRUE 50:50 Split between olympic lifting and bodybuilding!

If your goal is to build muscle without sacrificing your olympic lifts, look no further than the OlyBuilding 2.0 Program!

With 5-days a week of technique work, strength, and of course, bodybuilding, you'll be sure to pack on muscle faster than you ever have before!

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! It's got everything you need to learn the lifts! https://big-bend-strength.kit.com/weightlifting101

FAQs
Who is this program for?
This program is for the every day weightlifter who wants to focus on building muscle. If you know how to do the snatch, clean, and jerk, then you'll benefit from this program. Give me 8 weeks, I’ll give you PR’s a-plenty.
How long are the workouts?
These workouts are a little longer, expect 90mins to 2hrs depending on how much yapping you do between sets.
What if I don’t have the equipment?
You can do this program with a barbell, bumper plates, squat rack, bench, and a few dumbbells but if you have any questions about modification, you'll always be able to ask!
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!
