The Clean and Snatch Masterclasses
The both courses are phenomenal—clear, inspiring, and highly professional. Highly recommended!
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!
What is the minimum required equipment needed to complete the course?
PVC
15-20 kg weightlifting bar
2,5 kg - 25 kg weightlifting plates
Jump Box
Squat Rack - optional
Weightlifting Straps - optional
What should I do, if I didn't learn a certain element during a planned amount of time?
If you see that you are not able to perform movement with good quality or that you need more time to practice, feel free to repeat practical lessons as much as needed.
Can I repeat MasterClass from time to time?
Yes, this is a good idea, to go away from big weights and to focus on tech details.
How long does it take to learn the Olympic Snatch technique?
The full Master Class duration is 21 training days.
Will I benefit from MasterClass if I know Snatch progression?
Yes, my MasterClass will still be useful as a corrective tool for any small mistakes you may have in your technique/approach.
The MasterClass is based on a sequence of precise steps (which makes it extremely useful for beginners) and apprehensible explanations of WHAT we are doing at any given moment, and WHAT we are doing it FOR (good for both beginners and experts). From my experience: in the first five or even ten years as a weightlifter, I used to do everything my coach told me to do, but didn’t have the habit of delving into the why’s. Today, however, I am sure that understanding of the WHAT and WHY allows one to achieve the desired quality results 20% faster.
How often should I do practical lessons?
I would recommend around 4 practical lessons per week (for example Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat). This is why the entire program takes about 3 weeks to compete.
How good will the Snatch Masterclass make me?
In my seminars, I’ve seen athletes complete a full Snatch after a full day of theory and practical lessons (approx. 10 hours). This Snatch MasterClass is based on the progression I use in my seminars, but I modified it slightly for you to have a much deeper understanding of physical movements and theory. That is why it should take you approximately 3 weeks to complete the entire program.
What program should I pick up after completing this MasterClass?
Once you complete my Snatch MasterClass, you can try my Snatch Cycle. Or feel free to pick any of my training programs if you want to focus on strength or weightlifting training.
I am a coach and I want to use it for my gym / my clients.
This program is for personal use only. But if you want to use it for your gym and/or clients you can reach out to us via email to agree a commercial usage of the program. It will give you even more benefits.
Teach and improve the Olympic Snatch technique through a complete step-by-step masterclass: 20 theoretical lessons + 12 practical lessons focused on safe, solid Snatch mechanics.

Target Audience (Training Level)
Beginner and experienced weightlifters; functional fitness athletes; past Torokhtiy seminar participants; post-injury athletes who want to improve technique; coaches who want a ready resource for clients.
Not a full competition-prep plan; useful as technical preparation and a corrective tool before Snatch Cycle or other competition-focused weightlifting programs

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.
I just wanted to say how impressed I am with the MALE WEIGHTLIFTING 2.0 + MOBILITY FOR WEIGHTLIFTING programmes.
The structure is excellent, and the level of detail — especially the explanations and videos — makes everything very clear and easy to follow. I’m currently on Week 2 of Male 2.0, and I can already feel a noticeable improvement in my confidence and consistency with the lifts.
The volume is challenging but very well programmed, and I can tell that it’s building a strong foundation for future progress.
I’m genuinely enjoying the process and learning a lot along the way. I’ll definitely be looking into purchasing more programmes in the future (especially the Squat or Overhead Mobility programmes), and I’d also be very interested in attending one of your seminars.
Thank you again for such a high-quality product — it really shows the level of thought and experience behind it.
I am the type of person who never buys programs as they seemed so basic/simple, I was already doing them. This program is not that at all. Very in depth, easy to follow, and provides results. Well done!
I’ve been following Torokhtiy for a while and I finally decided to give it a chance. This one is the real deal folks, after every session you feel the “no gain, no pain”. I’m still on on it and I plan on finishing it. I can feel the improvement already.
