4-week training cycle designed for Olympic lifters returning after time off who want to rebuild intelligently, not recklessly.
You’ll train 3 days per week with a clear focus on:
Squat strength development
Overhead mobility & stability
Snatch catch position refinement
Jerk drive mechanics under fatigue
Each session includes targeted warm-ups, mobility, lift primers, main lifts, and accessory work, all structured to help you move better, lift stronger, and stay injury-free. Whether you’re coming back from a break or need to reinforce your foundation, this cycle bridges the gap between where you are and where you’re capable of going.
