Jerk MasterClass Challenge
I highly recommend any form of interaction or learning with Oleksiy, whether online or in person.
I have experienced both methods of coaching, and the level of knowledge, patience, and communication is at the highest level.
I have great respect for your work and will continue to follow both You and Him as weightlifting institutions.

Very good program for beginners
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.

Jerk Master Class
I've just completed the Jerk Master Class and I can recommend it to anyone who is looking to refine their technique in the Jerk.
The programming is thoughtful and well constructed, and the feedback from the Coach is comprehensive. I have felt real improvement in my technique during the Master Class, and I'm looking forward to putting it into practice on the platform.

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.

Snatch technique improved
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/

Great Program for Beginners
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.

I really like all the variation in this program and it definitely improved my snatch. I went from 85kg to 90kg in just the five week!

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 2026, 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.

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.
