FROM ATHLETE TO COACHING
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.
The workout program to build muscle contains a significant number of special weightlifting exercises aimed at power construction as well as the technical elements developing together with the improving of the overall performance.
The training volume is high, the intensity is average.

Perfektný program na naberanie svalovej hmoty pre každého kto má rád olympijské vzpieranie je to perfektný program pri ktorom sa určite nebudete nudiť. Ja som si k niektorým dňom pridal zhyby,dipy a trochu benchpresu naviac podľa toho ako sám sa daný deň cítil môžem len odporučiť.
What is the minimum required equipment needed to complete the course?
PVC
15-20 kg weightlifting bar
2,5 kg - 25 kg weightlifting plates
Jump Box
Squat Rack - optional
Weightlifting Straps - optional
Can I swap exercises if I don’t like them?
We highly recommend NOT changing the main compound movements.
How long should be this weight lifting routine to build muscle followed for?
We recommend doing this weight lifting routine for muscle gain AT LEAST one time through.
How long should I rest between exercises?
Optimal rest periods between exercises can vary from 30 seconds or less up to 3 minutes. Recommended rest intervals between sets - until you catch your breath.
What should I do If I can’t perform the given rep ranges and sets?
That means it's too heavy. Decrease the weight.
What should I do to speed up and facilitate the gaining process?
First and foremost, in order to gain muscle mass and build up your strength you must be eating a surplus of calories that is greater than the amount of energy your body is putting out. I strongly recommend you to combine your programming with my MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE.
I worked very well with this program, and the results were amazing. The only days with 30-45 minute workouts were tiring for me (too short workouts), but I supplemented it with the program full-body mobility for weightlifting). To sum up a nice 5 weeks, I will return to this program ;)
SUPPLEMENTS MANUAL it's for those starting an adventure with supplementation. Trainers who already have knowledge of athlete nutrition won't learn anything new.
For beginners 5/5.
Hi! Thank you for your feedback and honest opinion!
You’re absolutely right - the Supplements Manual is designed primarily for beginners who are just starting their journey with sports nutrition. Our goal was to create a clear and practical guide that lays a solid foundation for safe and effective supplementation.
For more experienced athletes and coaches, we believe that advanced supplementation should be approached individually and based on professional medical guidance, including blood work and other diagnostic analyses. That’s why we intentionally kept this guide focused on fundamentals and general safety.
We truly appreciate your support and are always open to suggestions on what you’d like to see next.
the book is stacked with great information.
my favortie parts:
good insights from Alexs,
plethora of pictures and videos to back up or sow in much better detail even minor parts of the technique,
each chapter has exercises to help build the skills you just learned,
check list of cues,
downsides: really the only thing i found myself looking for more was getting under the bar in the clean and snatch but literally every part fo the movement beside that is covered in great depth
for a guy like me who has no actual education in the oly lifts outside of youtube this has helped a lot in getting me to understand how to do these lifts more competently.
Hi, thanks for the program! I've started it and I'm at my second week. As I am rather old, or let me say 67 years young, the weights I use are not heavy. However I make all the exercises for the session. And as I usually make a group WL session per week, your sessions are 2 per week, not 3. That's all for now and thanks again. Best regards, Aneliya
I would advice the Squat program to everyone who has hit a plateau with squats (both front and back), and decides to dedicate some solid weeks of training to building general strength for their weightlifting. Of course, it is not aimed at Elite weightlifters, but its flexible structure can be adapted from beginners to fairly advanced athletes. Since it is a 3 day/week program (plus one accessory work day), it is also adaptable to functional training or CrossFit.
It allowed me to reach very heavy weights, considering my own bodyweight :)
Started applying the drills 1 week ago and am amazed by the extensive detail of the mobility procedures. Only change I would suggest is to have a separate specific platform for starting the videos instead of having to start them individually every time.
I have dipped my toes into olympic lifting for a while. Finally I have a structured program which I feel I can run through a couple of times. I feel my techniques have improved and actually my squat (back and front) have improved significantly by more than 15%. Additionally my trunk is much more stable and I am more aware of how I move during the lifts. Really recommend this for everyone who loves throwing around barbells.
This is the club where we unite as a community,
learn to overcome our weaknesses, and develop ou...
I appreciate you providing me the chance to learn from you.
Additionally, this club helps us become more confident. I'm becoming better, and I have a lot more confidence now than I had.
I develop my discipline. I'm becoming encouraged by this club since we're supporting one another.
I'm currently reading the Snatch master class PDF. I'm having a great time with a practical.
I always value your counsel and advice. Your tiny hints could help us improve our lift. And it’s improving a lot.
You might need to work with lower % the first week, the power exercises squat, deadlift and pulls are not that frequent
You may need to add some auxiliary work, and maybe add some technique the weeks that you don’t snatch
I am enjoying that I feel fresh
Hi! Thanks for your feedback.
Any training plan is not dogma - just an action manual.
So it is smart to adapt it to individual needs.
