10-week PDF training program (3 sessions per week) designed to develop maximalstrength, power, explosiveness, and overall performance instrongman competitions.
Created by WSM Winner Coachand approved by TOP athletes.
Absolutely phenomenal program! The PULL & SQUAT CYCLE has taken my training to the next level. As a gym trainer, I'm always looking for structured plans that deliver results — and this one blew me away.
The progression was smart, the workouts were challenging yet doable, and my form, strength, and endurance have all improved noticeably. I especially loved how the plan focused on proper technique, keeping it injury-free yet intense.
By the end of the cycle, I felt stronger, leaner, and way more confident in my lifts — especially in squats and deadlifts. Big respect to the creators for designing such a solid and science-backed program.
Highly recommend this to anyone serious about building real, functional strength! Already looking forward to the next cycle.

Back on Track
I finally got to train only weightlifting and it's been amazing with the Oly Wod program. I'm having the time of my life lifting heavy and feeling healthy in the way.

WEIGHTLIFTING FOR FUNCTIONAL FITNESS
Very well balanced program for functional fitness training.All our athletes increased their PR by around 25%. I would honestly like to see an additional version of this program in the near future.

Results already!
I’m an “intermediate” level lifter coming back from a spine injury that resulted in a numb right leg. I’m having to retrain my brain to tell my nerves how to work my leg. I am technically still rehabbing, so there are many things I have to modify. (Ex: I do hangs for everything since I’m not allowed to pull from the ground yet). I bought the beginners 12-week program since it’s technically been a full 14 month since I’ve been able to do ANY lifting and I wanted to start over with my new spine/altered leg. It’s been GREAT! I’m already seeing results in terms of feeling more total body connection on the lifts, more fluid movement, and even my leg has gotten a tad more mobile and reactive/quick. I know it’s not a rehab program, I say all that to say it still works with modifications!

Fantastic program.
I came from a background of just running 5x5 type programs into the ground.
the wave structure and diversity of squats and warm ups was very fun and it really broadend my skill in the gym. i am currently on week 9 of the program. so far i have pushed way past my previous squat 1rm and that also applies to my front squat (something i sorely needed to focus on but never got around to) and dead lift.
I plan to run the full 12 weeks and then put the program in my back pocket for my next off season.
5 out of 5 stars and great for anybody looking to build up their legs and squat skills without wasting time on one of the dumber squat programs floating around out there.

Programs and Gear Quality
I’ve been an athlete and fitness enthusiast my adolescent and adult life. The programs and training modalities offered here are Premier, Top Notch!
The YouTube channel is also excellent for beginners and on to advanced lifters. Torokhity apparel and lifting gear is next level! I’ve bought straps, lifting tape, shirts, and compression lifting shorts! All excellent!
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.
What makes this program unique compared to others on the market?
On one side – the program is developed in collaboration with World’s Strongest Man Coach (Oleksiy Novikov in 2020). We know how to create a training program which will bring you to your best result in strongman.
On another side – as Torokhtiy Team we have almost a 10 years experience on creating online training programs for athletes. We know how to create, design, explain and generally make a program which will gives you what you expect and will be user friendly to follow.
Do I need to have all the necessary equipment?
Ideally, yes, but we provide guidance on exercise substitutions to work with what you have.
Do I need a specialized gym?
Good to have, but also you can adapt your garage gym for it too! There are a detailed video explanations of every exercise so you could understand how to perform it at your place.
Can I change the number of trainings per week?
We recommend 3 sessions per week for optimal train and rest balance. You can train less if you don’t have time or need more time to recover, simply extending the program duration.
I'm a beginner, can I follow this program?
Yes! Loads and intensity will be adjusted to your weight and personal bests. If you don’t have PRs, use your bodyweight as a baseline.
I'm an advanced athlete, will it help me?
Absolutely. The program adapts volume and intensity to your PRs, aiming to help you set new personal records in all major movements.

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.
Considero excelente este programa para levantadores de pesas intermedios y avanzados. Los ejercicios son retadores y escalados para conseguir objetivos semanales. Las cargas de peso son progresivas cada semana y con el fin de alcanzar o superar tu RM en snatch y clean & jerk. Una programación fácil de leer y entender; además, incluye videos tutoriales para ejecutar cada ejercicio o movimiento. En mi experiencia, logré rebasar mis porcentajes máximos en arranque olímpico y envión. Sin duda, recomiendo este programa a todo levantador de pesas aficionado que desee mejorar su técnica y superar sus récords en halterofilia. ¡Saludos, halterófilos!
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
