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!
Not exactly. TEAR IT UP is a FUN guide on how to rip a t-shirt, but it includes a 2-week strength program designed to build the grip, upper body, and mental focus needed to rip a t-shirt like a true champion.
Who is it for?
For lifters who love to celebrate their wins. Whether you're chasing your first PR or are a seasoned athlete looking for a new challenge, this guide is for anyone who wants to have fun, build strength, and mark the moment like a beast.
Can anyone RIP a t-shirt?
Yes, but if you have enough grip strength. With a proper technique it won’t be a problem for you.
Really smart programming! This is the third of his programs I’ve been lucky enough to do. If you haven’t tried one I highly recommend! Love it keep up the great work.
After purchasing the Snatch training program, I saw results within just two weeks—my weightlifting performance improved significantly. This was my second time buying from them, and I highly recommend their programs to anyone looking to make real progress.
The explainer videos are clear and visual, making them easy to teach from. The programs factor in progression, letting me switch things out if a movement isn’t a good fit.
Fantastic work and real good layout, live see video and all information he explain to understand and learn how Pro weightlifters train recovery and what it takes , this is a outstanding product
Very good detail and accompanying videos, I would highly recommend starting the masterclass as it will improve your lifting, no matter what stage of training you're in, I had issues with learning the Snatch and also periodised programming and the steps necessary to full mastery, the program cleared that out for me and allowed me to focus on my lifting.
pretty good i got stronger and increased my mobility 👍
