6-Week Upper Body Strength Program (4-Day)
Big Bend Strength
Olympic Lifting, WeightliftingWritten for intermediate lifters, this olympic weightlifting program is designed to increase upper body strength with key lifts including the bench press, strict press, and push press!
You'll also use accessory exercises to build muscle and strength in the chest, shoulders, arms, and back. Don't worry, you'll still train squats and lower body, but much less than a normal weightlifting program.
With all of the upper body volume on this program, your olympic lifts will take a small backseat, with no lifts over 85%. There is also considerably much less olympic lifting volume on this program compared to our other training program. This allows you to keep your focus on developing upper body strength, size, and stability.
