Look Like You Lift 1.0 is a 20-week training program that takes you from a base hypertrophy cycle (8 weeks) and strength building phase (8 weeks) for Olympic weightlifting lifters, and culminates into a 4-week competition prep program.

This program is a complete program, taking you from the off-season to the platform.

This program is perfect for an Olympic weightlifter who is looking to PR or prepare for a meet.

Improve Your Weightlifting Technique
Each session will include primer movements to improve you snatch and clean and jerk technique. These drills will help you fix common issues many lifters struggle with, such as but not limited to: (1) finishing the pull, (2) improving the speed under the bar, (3) getting into better overhead and front rack positions, and (4) being more aggressive.

Build Dense Muscle
The more muscle you have, the more raw potential you have to later train those muscle fibers to produce more force, contract at faster velocities, and have carry over to your lifts. The first 8 weeks are devoted to building more lean, dense muscle tissue to help set up a successful strength phase. The rep range and volumes trained in will not only help you gain muscle but look muscular too.

Stronger Legs, Back, and Shoulders
In the sport of weightlifting, the goal is to lift heavy weights. This program will spend 8 weeks teaching you how to improve your technique and confidence moving heavy loads to build your strength using back and front squats, deadlifts (various kinds), and overhead presses and jerks. All these strength exercises will make you a stronger, more capable lifter.

Bodybuilding Accessory Exercises
After you complete your weightlifting and strength exercises, every workout will provide you with 20-30 minutes of additional bodybuilding type training to help you build muscles, improve your aesthetics, and address any muscular imbalances you may have that may put you at risk for injury.

Prepares You to Compete
The program ends with a 4-week weightlifting peaking cycle that will decrease overall volume, increase the intensity, and prepare you to PR both the snatch and clean and jerk on the competition platform. During this 4-week period, you will also have multiple opportunities to PR you back squat, front squat, and jerk.

"I have used this program (as well as the other LLYL plans) to help me gain muscle and strength in my 30s and am still seeing progress. The mix of weightlifting and bodybuilding allows me to emphasize my technique, build strength, but also stay healthy and prepare my body for heavier training cycles."

"I began this program not sure what to expect (I wanted to get stronger, build muscle, and improve my technique). What came next was PRs, confidence on the platform, and a leaner physique. I loved the bodybuilding segments!"
