This is a 12-week cycle. It uses Rep maxes and back-off sets with much of the work to allow a
lot of flexibility in loading and very hard work if you're ambitious. It also has a good amount of
positional strength work for the lifts and training for leg explosiveness. The cycle finishes with a
full 4-week competition mesocycle with plenty of heavy single snatch and clean & jerk for max
testing or competition.

Volume: High
Intensity: Adjustable

Good For:
Squat strength
Pulling strength
Overhead strength
Leg explosiveness
Unilateral leg strength/stability
Turnover strength

Thank you for purchasing this program. Remember, the program is only as good as the
effort you put in as well as the quality of movement that you do while undertaking the
program. Be sure to make sure you are stretching (weightlifters need to be extremely
flexible to reach all positions and as well as recovery) and eating properly so that you
can reap the full benefits. You will be building to daily maxes a lot of the time in this
program, which means that if you feel good, then go for a PR. If you don’t feel good, then
just build to a heavy rep for the day. Every training session does not need to end with
new PRs…it’s all about the long run.

Feel free to ask any questions you may have while doing this program.
