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 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.
