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.
Good morning coach! I started the program at Monday 02/2 so. in 1 week and its a little bit light.. Im focusing more on technique 🙏🏼 in “day offs” can i do cardio? Like row or eco bike

5 weeks done feeling stronger and smoother
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
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.

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.
Excellent coaching feedback that is constructive and helps the athlete to reach the goal that’s in mind. I attended a seminar last summer. Only six month into the program and my training has improved significantly. I knew I needed a strong foundation and Torokthiy has provided what I needed. Coaching and the right program that works to help me reach my personal goals. If you are serious about Olympic weightlifting, you would not be sorry.
