Increased total, stronger you.
We all have our own why. For me there are layers to training. I want to become better at olympic weightlifting and enjoy the technical challenge and competition. Another layer and reason I train is for improved mental health. Exercise is great for your body but also your mind. If it is with this program, another program, or no program, go train today.

FAQs
Hook grip?
Yes, hook grip.
Do I need a background in olympic lifting?
No, watch how to videos before sessions. Olympic weightlifting is a skill that takes time too develop. Give yourself some grace in this process.
What should I expect on an average training day?
75 - 100 minutes. The higher volume weeks will be closer to that 90 minute mark while the lower volume weeks may be close to 70 minutes.
How much communication will I get with the coach?
This is a self-guided program with pre-recorded video instruction on exercises.
Do I need specific shoes?
No. Shoes with an elevated heel help to have a more upright torso at the bottom of a clean/snatch.
Just starting strength training, can I do this program?
Yes, I would reduce the amount of sets by two for all main movements your first cycle through the program. Example - instead of 6 sets of 3 reps for back squat do 4 sets of 3 reps. Keep accessory volume (sets) the same.
Can I repeat this program?
Yes- once you complete the 6 weeks you can start back at week 1.
Can I use straps?
If your hands are beat up I would start by only using straps for pulls. Do not clean with straps for your wrists sake. The things that straps work for are snatches, snatch pulls, and clean pulls.
Who is this program intended for?
Someone that wants to improve their snatch and clean & jerk. Someone currently training CrossFit, former college athlete, general population, competitive olympic weightlifter. This is a tough program so no matter your background be prepared for lots of volume and some long sessions in the gym.
