Mobility for all sports
I love this manual! I’ve learned new, efficient exercises to work through mobility for specific barbell movements. The layout, the videos and explanation of exercises are also really great! Thank you! Very happy I bought this.

Hello, I want to apologize right away for my English. I am 46 years old and do Crossfit 3-4 times a week. But have now bought me for the next twelve weeks extra the LEG Killer. That I will be even stronger. Get along with the program very well. I can do all the units without any problems. What I find very good is that I can work on my biggest weakness, the snatch. Shoulder mobility is to improve with me on the right side still strong.

MEET YOUR COACH
MEET YOUR COACH
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.
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!
Do I need any Olympic lifting experience to start?
No. This program is specifically built for athletes who have zero technical experience with the Snatch or Clean & Jerk.
How long is the program?
7 weeks/2 sessions-per-week.
I don't have a coach. Can I do this alone?
Yes. The program is written to be self-sufficient. But you can follow this program in Torokhtiy Club (Online Coaching). Click here to join with 7 day-free trial
What equipment is needed?
You need the following equipment for the best results:
Barbell
Weight plates
Squat rack
Lifting Platform
Straps
Collars
Foam roller
Resistance bands
Box (for jumps)
PVC pipe
Chalk
Thumb Tape
Do I get lifetime access?
Yes. You receive lifetime access, including all future updates.
I’m a coach - can I use this for my gym or clients?
This program is for personal use only. If you’d like to use it commercially for your gym or athletes, contact us via email to discuss licensing options and additional benefits.
Why are there two versions of Transition to Olympic Weightlifting Program - a main version and a Female version? What's the difference?
Transition to Olympic Weightlifting Program is built around percentages based on your current 1RM values, so it automatically adapts to each athlete and works equally well for both men and women.
We've found that athletes search for programs differently, and some women may assume a program isn't intended for them when they see a male athlete featured on the landing page without any note that it's also designed for women. That's why we created a separate Female version «technical» page - to make that clear.
If you purchased both versions of Transition to Olympic Weightlifting Program, reach out to us at direct@torokhtiy.com and we'll make it right.

The Olympic Clean Masterclass is a very well structured program with a holistic view of training, and a wholehearted mindset, which is carried through it all. Already at the first read-through the expectation starts to rise.
The program's progression in 12 relatively short and intense sessions should be feasible for most people who want to give it a try. It will surely give you many sessions of sweat, pain, lows and highs. A basic knowledge of theory is enough to complete this programme.
That there should be so much more to learn from such a program is hugely important for developing an independent training routine. If an exercise is unfamiliar to you, you can use easy-to-understand symbols and see simple displays of each exercise in videos, which are a real support for the implementation. The program has been developed by a team of people with thorough and extensive experience in international weightlifting, physiotherapy and nutritional physiology. That fact alone is absolutely amazing. As I said, it is not time-consuming, so if you wish, there are great opportunities to add alternative exercises for the legs, or more muscle groups, to accustom the body to further training in weightlifting.
In pdf format, you can take the program with you when you travel and use it when it suits you. Here it is just a matter of continuing without obstacles. So it remains to be seen who is the last man standing.
I searched all over for a training program to learn the Olympic lifts on my own (without a coach / trainer), I discovered Torokhtiy and this program, the clarity, and comprehensive blew me away. You will not be disappointed by this program!
3.5 weeks in and not only am I not progressing I can’t hit my previous 1rm
If you’re 3.5 weeks into a snatch cycle and struggling to hit your previous 1RM, don’t panic - it’s more common than you think.
Our Snatch Cycle program includes high volume or intensity, your CNS and muscles might be too fatigued to express peak strength right now.
If you’re refining technique, your body may still be adapting to the new movement patterns.
It’s normal to feel weaker before the changes translate into a better lift. Strength progress isn’t always linear - sometimes you dip before you peak.
Our CYCLE must be fully completed (5 weeks) and by the end of fifth week it is time to taper/recover and only then to plan MAXOUT session.
And remember our motto – Warm Body Cold Mind.
Programme très bien construit qui permet de continuer de WODer tout en travaillant intelligemment en plus.
Je suis à la 5e semaine et aujourd’hui un snatch à 90% passé sans difficulté et sous fatigue.
La question c’est donc pas s’il aura un nouveau PR mais plutôt de combien !😍
I just finished my cycle and I didn't manage to improve my PR (75 kg / 165 lbs), however I definitely improved my technique, speed and strength. A bit sad I couldn't break through 75 kg but I still count it as a progress cause I improved successfull snatches ratio with lower weights (to 100% nearly). Giving 4 stars because not all exercises have proper videos linked (somebody already mentioned it). I recommend it overall, will give it a second try after finishing my clean and jerk cycle now :)
I tried to upgrade my order for the book and course, as I did not realize it was an option when ordering to save money, but customer service never replied back.
I just started this program and so far I love it. It is complete with mobility and core. It gives me structure and I look forward to my leg days. Highly recommend it
Nothing to say about the excercise but it’s a bit anowing to not have a way easy follow the plan with out moving from the pdf to the links, and having to create myself all playlists, I think you can create playlist allready set for the users
If you’re into weightlifting, this program is a great choice. It’s especially good if you want to focus on general weightlifting sessions. The weekly volume is well-balanced between harder and more moderate training days. I’m really enjoying the process and can already feel a lot of progress.
I love this manual! I’ve learned new, efficient exercises to work through mobility for specific barbell movements. The layout, the videos and explanation of exercises are also really great! Thank you! Very happy I bought this.
This is a really good program and package. there are so many lessons to glean from this program: not just the weight or volume, but the intensity, commitment and willingness to give everything to succeed. "Uncle Rus" also shows how to perform the accessory exercises very well. top marks and well done to the team at Torokhtiy Media
