FEEDBACK
The following are just a few of the many comments we have received from athletes who completed my olympic weightlifting training
"The variety of the loads in this olympic lifting regimen are great! I am a master lifter, and it is so satisfying to see my progress each week"
"I have run through this program twice and .hit PRs in both Snatch and Clean& Jerk. Also, improve my competition rank"
"I am loving it. A bit hard for me. It is necessary to be 100% focus on the training with very good rest and nutrition, but the improvement with the program is incredible"
LOAD PROGRESSION
LOAD PROGRESSION
Depending on the period of preparation, the ratio of loads between the groups of exercises changes in waves.
Week 1-8 be ready perform hard work in complex and strength exercises.
Week 9-12 be ready to shift to snatch and Clean and Jerk exercises.
Іntensive and shortened cycle. A lot of heavy triples, doubles, and singles to spike to really push your limits. Wave loading relying primarily on the competition lifts.
At the time of writing this review I have finished 5 weeks. The programming has let me build the base strength as well as refine the techniques needed for proper execution in both lifts. Now it’s all starting to feel a lot more clean and effortless instead of me trying to power through the movements with raw force. Can’t want to see this through the end and challenge for a new PR.

Nice and balanced program
I really like undulating programing, it always feels better for me to recover and gives bigger variation of movement concentration. Definetly a nice program that is easy to recover even as you have tough times at your work

It seems like Good program so far
I have just completed week 2. So far, the training loads have been on the lighter side compared to what I am accustomed to, but I trust the overall progression of the program. Based on a brief review, it might have been beneficial to include more squat-focused work; however, this is largely a matter of personal preference.
With over two decades of Olympic weightlifting experience, I know how small details can influence your lifting game. And I can say for sure:
“Big results consists of small details”
HOSTED OVER 300 SEMINARS WORLDWIDE
HOSTED OVER 300 SEMINARS WORLDWIDE
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 a new Male 2.0 program if I trained according to the Male 1.0 program?
The answer is yes, 100%! Weightlifting Program 2.0 is a completely new program. This training program is unique, fun, and add a different stimulus each week. We are implementing hypertrophy, power, and absolute strength to keep you healthy while building strength, athleticism and improving your lifts.
How frequently should I train?
This program is designed to be 5 days per week. We do not recommend training 4 days in a row. On your rest days, try to plan recovery activities, such as massages, or sauna.
Can I combine it with other types of training?
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.
No, MALE 2.0 is not a continuation or an add-on to MALE 1.0. They BOTH are standalone programs, but MALE 2.0 has been enhanced with new features and improvements.
I’ve already completed MALE 1.0. Should I take MALE 2.0 as well?
Definitely worth taking! MALE 2.0 has some cool new features and improvements.
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.

Jag har tidigare tränat snatch och clean på amatör nivå. Sem bestämde jag mig för att köpa ett program och öå bara 3 veckor av programmet har jag fått tillbaka min motivation och utvecklats otroligt mycket i tekniken.
Jag rekommenderar alla som vill nå en nivå högre att köra detta programmet, det är roligt och utvecklande!
To be honest I wasn’t expecting much. I chooses this to break up my ply lifting trianing.
I actually really enjoyed the 1st session. It’s still aimed and mobility and strength for oly lifting.
Looking forward to completing the rest.
The cadence of sets vs reps is unlike anything I've done before. It does seem like not a lot of work is performed, but that's really how accurate your 1RM is. For me, I kept it lower due to training limitations, but still feels great. The one shortfall is i have no idea how often to train...4 days in a row? On on off? Biofeedback regulated? I cycled some upper body accessory work, and in 3 weeks, feel good progress in my squat pattern. Thanks T-dawg
Need an app to follow. Didn't do it as I had to download every exercise and then try and find to keep up with program. Im positive the program would have been excellent but too much work following it.
