You know those people who move precision, power, and focus? Ever wonder what exactly it takes to get super strong and still be able to "punch a lion through a pin hole?" (Donnie Shankle reference). Weightlifting takes a high degree of practice, consistent practice. Without it, you will stall out, stay slow, and get injured. If you are looking for a program that includes EVERYTHING you need (and a program that actually works), then J2FIT Weightlifting is for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I'm not a "weightlifting" athlete, is this for me?
A: It doesn't matter if you are competitive weightlifting, CrossFit athlete, high school kid, or just getting into barbell training, this program had been proven to be effective, in all of those groups. We tailor our systems to empower those that know they always have more to give and further to go as athletes.
Q: I'm a C rossFitter, will this help me? If so, how do I work this in with my WODS?
A: Yes. The program has been tailored specifically for weightlifters and Crossfit athletes. Weightlifters should do this program completely. If you are a CrossFitter and need to improve your weightlifting and strength, we suggest performing at least every DAY 2 and DAY 6, in addition to your training workouts.
