The goal of the WEIGHTLIFTING BODYBUILDING program is to train the main muscle groups in order to strengthen them and prevent injury. The program is 4 weeks long with 3 sessions per week + 1 optional technical training. The optimal time to follow this program is the off-season and transition period. These loads will be an excellent alternative to traditional weightlifting cycle loads for athletes who want a physical and psychological break from dynamic explosive work and heavy weights, but at the same time train for their own benefit.

16 SESSIONS
The training program is designed according to the scheme of the traditional 3-day weekly split: legs-shoulders, chest-triceps, back-biceps. Both classic strength exercises and special exercises are used to strengthen the stabilizers and small muscle groups, which play an important role in the reliability of the weightlifter's muscular system.

ASYMMETRY EXERCISES
The program includes ASYMMETRY exercises that are performed with an unevenly loaded bar (example: 5 kg disc on the left end and 10 kg disc on the right end). The purpose of these exercises is to develop coordination and strengthen the stabilizing muscles. Besides improving mechanics this also places more tension on the targeted muscles making it highly effective for hypertrophy training.
