FAQs

Is this program for beginners?

If you're BRAND new to weightlifting, I recommend starting with Weightlifting101 our free beginner program. Otherwise, this is a great next step for those who have a solid foundation of technique.

Do I get video review?

While most people charge for video review, you can join our free discord and post videos of your lifts for coach feedback! If you want me to review your lifts, just tag me @calvinlackey81kg in the #form-checks channel!

Will this prepare me for a competition?

No, this program is best immediately after a major competition or to reset your training.
