TPS weightlifting is a developmental monthly program geared towards improvement and development for those interested in improving their snatch and clean & jerk. The developmental phase is for those in their first 5-6 years of training in the sport. Training is built around long term growth, movement, technique and strength. If you are looking for immediate success and chasing short term numbers, this is not the program for you.
Quality comes first with everything in mind with the training. Cycles will move through intensification phases, transitioning into heavier peaking and competition phases where we will have a chance to do some testing and see how things are progressing. We will also start or end cycles in what we call transition phases in which specific strength of weightlifting will be lower on the priority list so we can touch some areas that might get less attention when training just for the sport so we can stay healthy.
Hunter has a love for the sport and believes that it is the greatest sport in the world. He has competed at a high level and has spent his entire professional career as a strength and conditioning coach dedicated to his athletes.
