This is a 12-week program with four training days per week.
This program includes a general and special warm-up routine that will help your muscles prepare for the activities ahead. Plus, every fourth workout is optional and features olympic lifts for even more metabolism-boosting benefits!
Each week of programming will help you build confidence in the basics and then move on to more advanced techniques.

It's perfect for Master's athletes who want to work on:
developing muscle strength;
extra training stimulus during the off-season;
looking for deloading from intensive Olympic lifting programs.
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.
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.
What equipment do I need for the program?
Barbell and Bumper Plates
Squat Rack
PVC
GHD
Shoulders activation system
Lifting straps
Rubber bands
Blocks
Kettlebells
Plyometric Box
Can women do this program?
Yes, Master Strength Program will be effective for both genders - male and female as well.
It's an extremely good program for beginners who are getting to know the discipline. It works very well for people with previous experience in lifting as well.
Went through week one before planned break to feel it out
So I went through the first week before I got on my 2 week break, mostly to feel out the program and make my mind on it.
So, as of now I can say that I do enjoy the volume and the general idea of the plan. It’s very well structured (though I will never be a huge fan of bench presses) and I can clearly see the potential. One note - if you plan to do it with Oly lifting in mind the optional day IS NOT optional for you.
Overall i highly recommend it to build strength foundations regardless of how experienced you are.
I never was able to do a proper snatch because I had fear of going under the bar. This program helped me improve in the technique and build confidence doing the snatch. I was also able to increase the weight. Watch my videos here. https://www.instagram.com/jasonjustlifts/reel/DYUyUqVOkY4/
I made good progress with the lifts in terms of stability and execution. Highly recommended if you already have some experience in the lifts but still have a lot to solidify.
Been wanting a program to help strengthen the overhead position and I've gotten through the 1st session and it feels good. I enjoy the different variations of workouts and its a different pace from me normally working on the snatch and CJ. Definitely looking forward to the rest of the program.
I used the Athletic Performance program to prepare for my fourth triathlon. My muscular endurance improved drastically. I earned a personal best time and third place in my division, my first time placing. Thank you Torokhtiy!
I took advantage of the 2-for-1 promotion and started with the Beginners 2.0 program. I found it excellent; I'm a week away from finishing it and will start the Snatch Masterclass program soon. I'll let you know shortly.That's all for now, thank you for following.
