No PR for me
The workout percentages are too low to make progress. I feel like my movement is getting better but I did not progress my squat or my clean and jerk maxes. I also have a masters in kinesiology with an emphasis in strength and conditioning. I am not sure where these low percentages came from.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback - we genuinely appreciate it, and we’re sorry to hear that the program did not meet your expectations regarding PR progression.
It’s important to clarify that the Pull & Squat Program is not designed to directly peak or improve Clean & Jerk maxes. Its primary goal is to build fundamental squatting strength and pulling capacity for intermediate athletes, creating a structural and strength base that supports future progress in the Olympic lifts rather than immediate competition results.
The prescribed percentages are not arbitrary. They are based on classic Olympic weightlifting training protocols, drawing from established methodologies and recommendations by Medvedev and Oleshko, where submaximal loading is intentionally used to improve movement quality, technical consistency, and long-term strength development.
At the same time, outcomes from any strength program depend not only on loading schemes but also on movement execution, recovery quality, and nutrition strategy. These factors play a critical role and must be considered when evaluating progress, especially when working at controlled intensities.
Finally, this program has been in active use since 2019 and holds a 4.72/5 rating from 18 verified customers. It has proven effective for a large number of athletes, reflected in predominantly positive feedback and long-term results when applied within an appropriate training structure.
That said, we value all constructive criticism and your input helps us better communicate program goals and expectations moving forward.

Great program with many nice exercises and challenging pulls
My pulls are much better and stronger now. Completing the program resulted in personal records in both Deadlift and Back Squat.
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.
