Ronnie Coleman once said "Everybody wants to be a bodybuilder, but nobody wants to lift this heavy a** weight!"

This program is for the weightlifter who reads that quote and says "Ain't nothin' but a peanut!"

This 12 week program is designed to prep any serious weightlifter to peak their competition lifts. Through 3 phases of increasing sport specificity, squatting focused on speed, and straightforward accessory work, you will be able to hit new PRs on the competition floor to qualify for your next big meet.

Train based on your schedule
Unsure if 4 days is too much or too little? I’ve written 5 day and 3 day versions of this program modified to reap the same benefits.

An all encompassing design
The squatting and pulling in this program are designed for power output, speed, and in addition to straightforward bodybuilding, you’ll be able to focus your efforts on the Olympic lifts.

Proven results with updated methods
The bones of this program are inspired by the same methods that helped me earn multiple National medals and achieve my first Team USA selection, but with revised periodization to surpass your previous bests.
