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.
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!

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 am a coach and I want to use it for my gym / my clients.
This program is for personal use only. But if you want to use it for your gym and/or clients you can reach out to us via email to agree a commercial usage of the program. It will give you even more benefits.
I have purchased several of Torokhtiy's programs. All of which were well done. However, this particular program I was unable to read the instructions due to the poor quality. Thank you for the opportunity to express my opinion.
Hi, Michael! Thanks a lot for your feedback. Sorry to hear there was a problem with the quality of instructions in the program.
Please reach out to us at direct@torokhtiy.com with a screenshot of the issue, so we can fix it and send you a version of the program with proper quality.
I like this program. Its structure is good, and it has just the right amount of volume for a master athlete. After the workouts, I haven’t felt overly fatigued, and I always look forward to the next training session. After training with the program for three weeks, I actually had to jump to the second-to-last week of the program because I was preparing for my first weightlifting meet. The competition went well, and afterward I returned to my normal routine and continued from where I left off.
Most Usefull Athletic Performans Workout of All Areas.

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.
Sin un ojo que vea los movimientos, se complica mucho. Envié el vídeo final, tal como pone el manual y no me respondieron. También había planteado previamente alguna duda por mensaje privado y nunca contestan (paso más de un mes).
Hi there! We appreciate your feedback. We searched everywhere but didn’t find any messages from you.
Could you please send an email to direct@torokhtiy.com with info on where you submitted your videos?
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!
I bought one of Torokhtiy’s programs which have been very good for an over all training. It’s not the last time I’ll buy programs from Torokhtiy! <3
