Build Stronger, More Confident Olympic Lifts. With Coaching, Not Just Percentages
Many athletes want to improve their snatch and clean & jerk, but don’t get enough focused lifting practice or technical feedback in their daily training.
3 Day Olympic Weightlifting Program is an add-on designed to help you improve Olympic lifting strength and technique while continuing to follow your gym or community’s main program.
This is not a percentage-only program.
Each session includes clear session goals and coaching notes so you know exactly what to focus on when you train and what to look for when you video your lifts.
You’ll train with intentional, structured lifting sessions that prioritize quality reps, technical development, and long-term progress, not just hitting numbers.
What to expect: • 3 lifting sessions per week • Each session takes about ~60 minutes • Clear session goals and coaching cues • Technical focus to improve movement quality • Structured progressions for strength and consistency • Designed to complement CrossFit or functional fitness programming
Coaching & feedback: • Access to a group chat • Submit lifting videos for review • Get feedback to help you actually improve technique over time
This program is ideal if you want to: • Lift with intention instead of guessing • Make real technical progress—not just chase numbers • Feel more confident and consistent under the bar
Designed to fit seamlessly alongside your gym’s programming—without interfering with it.
