Program Details
Program Details
The program consists of technique drills and accessory work, as well as well thought out progressions to help athletes improve their lifts.
The program will help athletes improve their weightlifting technique and become more efficient, which will allow them to break new personal records in their lifts.
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.
The plan is very suitable for beginners and is fun!

OLY Beginner program
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.

Thorough and straightforward
This is an excellent program that introduces the fundamental movements for snatch and C&J without rushing the important foundation work needed to perform them safely. I couldn't be happier with the program.
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.
I’ve been hosting seminars for ten years now, and teaching athletes from all around the world.
I've had a hand in guiding over 10,000 athletes on their weightlifting journey.
It's an honor to be able do this!
The knowledge I gained through seminars with athletes helped shape my PhD research. I’m proud to say that in 2025, I officially earned my PhD in Sport Science!
This olympic weightlifting beginner program is designed to be 3 days per week. We do not recommend training 3 days in a row by a beginner weightlifting workout. On your rest days, try to plan recovery activities, such as massages, or sauna.
What are some beginner tips for Olympic weightlifting?

Practice frequently - Olympic weightlifting is a highly technical sport, so you need to practice regularly if you want to improve.

I am a coach and I want to use it for my gym / my clients.

A bottle for all occasions should be large enough to keep drinks for an entire training day, thermodynamically reversible enough to keep the drink cold for up to 6 hours, solid enough to withstand shock if an accident should happen, a handle to grip, easy to drink from and pretty to look at. All of these criteria are met by Thoroktiy's drinking bottle, and it is the best thing any drinking bottle may be.
Cakal som od tohto programu viac, chýbala mi tam špecifická rozcvička ako pri ostatných programoch.
Hey!
Sorry to hear that - version 1 of this program didn`t include this section yet, this version was released long time ago in 2018 and we started to implement special warmup block later.
Den som designet dette kruset tenkte på både det nyttige, pedagogiske og morsomme. Materialene er veldig solide og varmebestandige, et tips er å kjenne på varmen før du drikker. Det kommer til å bli et fast inventar i bagen. Så absolutt et supert krus.
Great Program for CrossFit Athletes Focused on Strength Development
I recently started Weightlifting for Functional Fitness 2.0 and am currently in week 3, and so far it’s been excellent. Here’s what I like:
• Smart integration with CrossFit – The program blends well with CrossFit-style training and focuses on building strength without sacrificing conditioning or skill work.
• Structured and easy to follow – The layout is clear and straightforward, which makes it easy to stay consistent.
• Mobility and warm-ups included – Each session starts with warm-up and mobility work, which is often overlooked in other programs.
• Time-efficient – Sessions are compact and can usually be completed in about 1 to 1.5 hours, even when combined with a WOD or gymnastics work.
Even though I’m only in the early stages, the structure and progression already feel solid. Looking forward to seeing the results as I continue!
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.
