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.
The workout program to build muscle contains a significant number of special weightlifting exercises aimed at power construction as well as the technical elements developing together with the improving of the overall performance.

MUSCLE GAIN 2.0
Hello! Thanks for rating us.
Are there anything specific that didn’t meet your expectation? If we missed something or there’s anything we could improve to enhance your experience, please let us know. Your feedback is really important to us!
What is the minimum required equipment needed to complete the course?
PVC
15-20 kg weightlifting bar
2,5 kg - 25 kg weightlifting plates
Jump Box
Squat Rack - optional
Weightlifting Straps - optional
Can I swap exercises if I don’t like them?
We highly recommend NOT changing the main compound movements.
How long should be this weight lifting routine to build muscle followed for?
We recommend doing this weight lifting routine for muscle gain AT LEAST one time through.
How long should I rest between exercises?
Optimal rest periods between exercises can vary from 30 seconds or less up to 3 minutes. Recommended rest intervals between sets - until you catch your breath.
What should I do If I can’t perform the given rep ranges and sets?
That means it's too heavy. Decrease the weight.
What should I do to speed up and facilitate the gaining process?
First and foremost, in order to gain muscle mass and build up your strength you must be eating a surplus of calories that is greater than the amount of energy your body is putting out. I strongly recommend you to combine your programming with my MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE.
Is MUSCLE GAIN 1.0 a prerequisite for MUSCLE GAIN 2.0?
No, MUSCLE GAIN 2.0 is not a continuation or an add-on to MUSCLE GAIN 1.0. They BOTH are standalone programs, but MUSCLE GAIN 2.0 has been enhanced with new features and improvements.
I’ve already completed MUSCLE GAIN 1.0. Should I take MUSCLE GAIN 2.0 as well?
Definitely worth taking! MUSCLE GAIN 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.
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.
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
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.
Thank you for your feedback, Meredith. Legs Strength Program is provided in PDF format, as noted on the landing page. This feature allows to have lifetime access to the program without any subscriptions and in such way you are getting the flexibility to use the program anytime you want. We understand that this format isn’t ideal for everyone and we appreciate you sharing your perspective 😊
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.
