MASTER DIESEL is A 9-week Olympic weightlifting program designed for masters. Consisting of 4 sessions per week, it aims to achieve new results in the snatch and clean & jerk, while refining technique.
Designed by an Olympian and approved by TOP professional athletes.
Weeks 1-5 focus on strengthening main muscle groups and stabilizers.
Weeks 6-9 reduce training volume for faster recovery and peak athletic form.
Week 10 (the competition) is strategically designed for supercompensation and maximum readiness.
LOAD DETALIZATION
Balanced Weekly Training
Each week alternates between heavy, technical, and recovery sessions, optimized in volume and intensity to ensure safe peak performance by competition day while maintaining overall body functionality.
Tailored for Masters
Designed for masters athletes, the program features effective, less traumatic exercises taking into account the age category of athletes.

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.

STRUCTURE OF LOAD
Considering the specifics of the Masters athletes this masters weightlifting program include:
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.
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.

Started this week totally different from my normal Olympic routines loving it
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.
