POWER OF FLEXIBILITY
The main reason for including flexibility training in our workouts is to prevent injury. We play around with the warm-up exercises that encourage both and increase in flexibility and positional reinforcement for master athletes such as sots press or press from split position.
STRENGTH BEFORE SPEED
The Olympic movements are highly explosive and the force produced can cause wearing on the joints if the body is not prepped. You will do full variations of the lifts and also vary the exercises using box squats to take some pressure off of the knees.
TECHNIQUE IMPROVEMENT
Learning proper technique is crucial from day one. Your flexibility and mobility matter too. Therefore, you should focus on these aspects before going any further. That's why one day each week is devoted to technique development.
PERIODISE YOUR TRAINING
We work hard at times to stress our body and we work easy at times to allow recovery from the stress. Training the same way every day, week in week out is not the way to train effectively.

Іntensive and shortened cycle. A lot of heavy triples, doubles, and singles to spike to really push your limits. Wave loading relying primarily on the competition lifts.
Found this program perfect progressing after using Snatch Cycle, Jerk Cycle and Clean Cycle for 1 year.

Good
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.

Absolutely fantastic, like all his material . Gradient and comprehensive with an emphasis on Technique and mobility. Highly recommend.
Absolutely phenomenal program! The PULL & SQUAT CYCLE has taken my training to the next level. As a gym trainer, I'm always looking for structured plans that deliver results — and this one blew me away.
The progression was smart, the workouts were challenging yet doable, and my form, strength, and endurance have all improved noticeably. I especially loved how the plan focused on proper technique, keeping it injury-free yet intense.
By the end of the cycle, I felt stronger, leaner, and way more confident in my lifts — especially in squats and deadlifts. Big respect to the creators for designing such a solid and science-backed program.
Highly recommend this to anyone serious about building real, functional strength! Already looking forward to the next cycle.
I’m an “intermediate” level lifter coming back from a spine injury that resulted in a numb right leg. I’m having to retrain my brain to tell my nerves how to work my leg. I am technically still rehabbing, so there are many things I have to modify. (Ex: I do hangs for everything since I’m not allowed to pull from the ground yet). I bought the beginners 12-week program since it’s technically been a full 14 month since I’ve been able to do ANY lifting and I wanted to start over with my new spine/altered leg. It’s been GREAT! I’m already seeing results in terms of feeling more total body connection on the lifts, more fluid movement, and even my leg has gotten a tad more mobile and reactive/quick. I know it’s not a rehab program, I say all that to say it still works with modifications!
I really enjoy the program, I wish that there was a excel version that I could put in the % to be able to keep track of the workouts without having to write them down into a book
Fantastic program.
I came from a background of just running 5x5 type programs into the ground.
the wave structure and diversity of squats and warm ups was very fun and it really broadend my skill in the gym. i am currently on week 9 of the program. so far i have pushed way past my previous squat 1rm and that also applies to my front squat (something i sorely needed to focus on but never got around to) and dead lift.
I plan to run the full 12 weeks and then put the program in my back pocket for my next off season.
5 out of 5 stars and great for anybody looking to build up their legs and squat skills without wasting time on one of the dumber squat programs floating around out there.
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.
Considero excelente este programa para levantadores de pesas intermedios y avanzados. Los ejercicios son retadores y escalados para conseguir objetivos semanales. Las cargas de peso son progresivas cada semana y con el fin de alcanzar o superar tu RM en snatch y clean & jerk. Una programación fácil de leer y entender; además, incluye videos tutoriales para ejecutar cada ejercicio o movimiento. En mi experiencia, logré rebasar mis porcentajes máximos en arranque olímpico y envión. Sin duda, recomiendo este programa a todo levantador de pesas aficionado que desee mejorar su técnica y superar sus récords en halterofilia. ¡Saludos, halterófilos!
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
