OVER 55 EXERCISES
OVER 55 EXERCISES
High variety of auxiliary exercises that are focused on improving overhead, position, core muscles and leg strength. These exercises will help build an athlete’s overall positional strength, which will lead to better numbers and more confidence in the JERK.
optimized structure and distribution of load
optimized structure and distribution of load
The main volume of the program's load is aimed at developing the jerk, but also the program contains sufficient volume in snatch & clean exercises for “activating the muscle memory”.
* Recommended for offseason athletic development

Fix it with 5 weeks of targeted training!
SPECIAL WARMUP ROUTINE
SPECIAL WARMUP ROUTINE
JERK requires maximal mobility, neuromuscular control, and power production. A special warmup routine for mobility and prehab before each session will help to prepare the full body for safe and effective training. It is a combination of auxiliary exercises to prepare muscles, ligaments, and joints.
THIS PROGRAM IS GOOD FOR:
intermediate and advanced male/female lifters;
weightlifters and functional fitness athletes during strength stage;
lifters who are stuck and want to develop result in Jerk.
We created a buyer's guide to help you figure out which training program is right for YOUR needs!
It’s crazy how this program choose and split the good amount of Olympic mouvement, drill and strength mouvement to put the right focus on the jerk while maintaining activity on other mouvements.
+15 kg on my previous PR, I recommend it !

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 2026, I officially earned my PhD in Sport Science!
If the task is to build a base for further competitive training, we recommend 5 sessions per week, where Thursday and Sunday are off days.
In the absence of a specific goal and competition timing, you can train every other day. This will extend the training program for almost 7 weeks and let you train sparingly with optimal recovery.
Can I combine it with other types of training?
Yes, you can, but 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.
Will this program prepare me for the competition?
JERK CYCLE isn’t a program that should be used to get ready for a competition. After the completion of the training cycle, an athlete can do a MAXOUT session in the JERK to check their current progress. If your goal is to compete, I recommend to continue training using my competition training program.
What type of equipment is needed for this program?
Barbell
Bumper Plates
Squat Racks
PVC
GHD
Rubber bands
Blocks
Kettlebells
Plyometric Box (approx. 20-24 Inch)
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.

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
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.
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.
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/
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.
