Stronger and better
2 weeks in to the 5 week Squat/leg strength programme. Been going great so far.
Only thing I've changed is the front squat percentages: instead doff working off cnj max, Ice worked off front squats max. So week 2 day 3 ended up being 5x3 at 90%fs1rm
- despite being hard it actually ended up being a volume personal best.
So looking forward to the next 3 weeks of training

The Programm is awesome and more then complete. I had more soreness from the auxiliary work in the posterior chain then in the quads itself. Great for core stability and with the light weightlifting sets you stay in the movements and mobility at any time. PR +15% in both FS and BS.

It is easy to find a squat program out there, but there isn't much option when you want to combine it with Olympic lifts. This leg strength program has a good balance between back squat, and front squat and make sure there are adequate amount of only lifts to maintain muscle memory. I use this as an opportunity to improve my technique since I am working with a lighter weight. 10/10 recommend.
After successfully winning the London Olympics in 2012, I decided to devote myself to coaching and share my experience with athletes who are interested in lifting heavy weights correctly and safely.

FAQ
Do I need to squat heavy every day?
The answer is NO! Full squatting can be unnecessarily fatiguing. Also, squatting may have limited carry-over into the snatch and clean & jerk without incorporating proper skill practice.
How frequently should I train?
This program is designed to be 4 days per week. We do not recommend training 4 days in a row. On your rest days, try to plan recovery activities, such as massages, or sauna.
What if I don't know what an exercise is?
We have video links embedded in the program for every exercise!
Can I combine it with other types of training?
We do not recommend combining this program with other high-intensity workouts. You can add, at your discretion, recovery activities to develop flexibility and mobility, as well as short (up to 30 minutes) low-intensity cardio work (walking, rowing, swimming). Be sure to plan one full day off in each weekly cycle. The program's effectiveness largely depends on your responsibility when it comes to the training process, sleep, nutrition, and recovery. Train smart, get enough rest.
Is it necessary to train in weightlifting shoes?
We highly recommend you wear weightlifting shoes, also known as Lifters. Whether you’re a functional fitness athlete or a weightlifter, you will find them beneficial.
I am a coach and I want to use it for my gym / my clients.

Purchased this program a few weeks ago. Just getting started and moving along..ha kind of! By following the program, it’s going to be link I’ve been missing out on. Excited today see how everything goes, wish me luck!
The pull and squat program improved my strength and movement patterns. At the end of the program I got new PRs in deadlift, back squat, front squat and overhead squat! I'm a 37 year old mom, and my legs have never looked better. Thank you Torokhtiy!
There are a lot of variations of snatch, some are familiar some are not. Different weight percentages helps me to being aware of technical issues and fix them.
The program is absolutely fantastic for anyone who wants to improve their lifting in a structured way while learning how to incorporate the gymnastics and metcon aspects into the trainning. I am on week 3 and gaining so much more confidence particularly in the snatch positions with each session. I really appreciate the warm-ups and mobility drills that always take care of the nagging little tight spots/help feel the body ready to lift. My only regret is that I have not started sooner!
An absolutely incredible program with a lot of accessory exercises to improve strength and technique. I scored new PRs for both Clean & Jerk and Snatch!
I've been truly enjoying myself with this program. It's only been two weeks, but it allows me to complement my regular CrossFit training very well. The exercises feel varied, well-picked and aim to better technique as well as strength.
The program is designed for 5 training sessions per week, but I do 4 due to work — I skip the third session each week. I really like the balance between intensity and volume. The wave-loading sessions are very effective. I’m currently halfway through the program, so I don’t know yet if there will be new PRs, but I already feel more confident at higher percentages and a fast improvement in form.
I already had great mobility, but this really helped complete my stretching routines. I noticed mobility increases after just 8 workouts. I haven't finished the program and I've already experienced mobility gains.
I'm new at CrossFit and Weightlifting. This program is excellent for starters and others to learn techniques from videos (but also it is important to have weightlifting trainer to fix technique issues) and start to learn new movements/excercises and how split weight loads. I'm right now at 3week, but I like it! :)
This is a great program for someone that wants to strengthen their squat but also have limited time. the three day week and about 1hr sessions were perfect for my busy schedule. And the best part was that i increased my back squat from 225 to 250 and my front squat from 185 to 215! And that was after finishing the first 2 cycles of this program! (after 9 weeks)
