SPECIAL WARMUP ROUTINE
JERK requires maximal mobility, neuromuscular control, and power production. A special warmup routine for mobility and prehab before each session will help to prepare the full body for safe and effective training. It is a combination of auxiliary exercises to prepare muscles, ligaments, and joints.
THIS PROGRAM IS GOOD FOR:
intermediate and advanced male/female lifters;
weightlifters and functional fitness athletes during strength stage;
lifters who are stuck and want to develop result in Jerk.
We created a buyer's guide to help you figure out which training program is right for YOUR needs!
It’s crazy how this program choose and split the good amount of Olympic mouvement, drill and strength mouvement to put the right focus on the jerk while maintaining activity on other mouvements.
+15 kg on my previous PR, I recommend it !

With over two decades of Olympic weightlifting experience, I know how small details can influence your lifting game. And I can say for sure:
“Big results consists of small details”
HOSTED OVER 300 SEMINARS WORLDWIDE
HOSTED OVER 300 SEMINARS WORLDWIDE
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!
If the task is to build a base for further competitive training, we recommend 5 sessions per week, where Thursday and Sunday are off days.
In the absence of a specific goal and competition timing, you can train every other day. This will extend the training program for almost 7 weeks and let you train sparingly with optimal recovery.
Can I combine it with other types of training?
Yes, you can, but 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.
Will this program prepare me for the competition?
JERK CYCLE isn’t a program that should be used to get ready for a competition. After the completion of the training cycle, an athlete can do a MAXOUT session in the JERK to check their current progress. If your goal is to compete, I recommend to continue training using my competition training program.
What type of equipment is needed for this program?
Barbell
Bumper Plates
Squat Racks
PVC
GHD
Rubber bands
Blocks
Kettlebells
Plyometric Box (approx. 20-24 Inch)
I am a coach and I want to use it for my gym / my clients.

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.
The program is absolutely fantastic for anyone who wants to improve their lifting in a structured way while learning how to incorporate the gymnastics and metcon aspects into the trainning. I am on week 3 and gaining so much more confidence particularly in the snatch positions with each session. I really appreciate the warm-ups and mobility drills that always take care of the nagging little tight spots/help feel the body ready to lift. My only regret is that I have not started sooner!
An absolutely incredible program with a lot of accessory exercises to improve strength and technique. I scored new PRs for both Clean & Jerk and Snatch!
I've been truly enjoying myself with this program. It's only been two weeks, but it allows me to complement my regular CrossFit training very well. The exercises feel varied, well-picked and aim to better technique as well as strength.
The program is designed for 5 training sessions per week, but I do 4 due to work — I skip the third session each week. I really like the balance between intensity and volume. The wave-loading sessions are very effective. I’m currently halfway through the program, so I don’t know yet if there will be new PRs, but I already feel more confident at higher percentages and a fast improvement in form.
I already had great mobility, but this really helped complete my stretching routines. I noticed mobility increases after just 8 workouts. I haven't finished the program and I've already experienced mobility gains.
I'm new at CrossFit and Weightlifting. This program is excellent for starters and others to learn techniques from videos (but also it is important to have weightlifting trainer to fix technique issues) and start to learn new movements/excercises and how split weight loads. I'm right now at 3week, but I like it! :)
