Mon: Training
Tue: Day-off
Wed: Training
Thu: Day-off
Fri: Training

It is asked that you follow a straightforward pattern of one day on, one day off to allow your body a day to recover between bouts of training.
PROGRESSION BREAKDOWN

The volume (in terms of sets of deadlifts) increases over the first few weeks and peaks in weeks 7 and 8, following an inverted U-shape.
The peak % of 1RM climbs from 75% of 1RM in week one to 102.5% (your new max attempt) in week 13.
Session 2 provides a low intensity Olympic weightlifting load weekly to provide technical training and muscle memory support.

Percentages a little too high...
I haven't been able to get through the first block because the prescribed deadlift percentages are too high. There is no way I'm hitting 85% for reps at week 2 or 3. The exercise selection otherwise makes sense. This is coming from the perspective of a class 1 powerlifter. I'm going to restart the program taking 50lbs off my 1rm for the first 2 blocks.
Hi!
Thanks for your reply!
Yes, it is possible that this load can be too intensive. From our perspective athlete start this cycle when he is in normal shape (around 80-85%) of his readiness.
Of course it is smart move to scale down the load if needed and stay at the optimal intensity.
Once again thank for reaching us and feel free to contact again if needed!
Good luck!

Great program
Great program to increase PR's. I was stuck for a while and this program helped me increase my PR by 20 lbs easily after 12 weeks.
It's always rewarding to see our athletes achieve their fitness goals and make progress. Keep up the fantastic work, and if you have any more feedback or need assistance with anything else, feel free to reach out. Happy lifting!

Deadlift 2.0
Perfect training to perform new personal best in deadlift and also nice for athlete who need to develop strenght during off season or in pre season
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.
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 Olympic Deadlift program if I trained according to the Deadlift 1.0 program?
The answer is yes, 100%! Deadlift only program is a completely new program. This deadlift cycle 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 best deadlift program is designed to be 3 days per week. We do not recommend training 3 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 increase deadlift 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 to wear weightlifting shoes during this deadlift program pdf, also known as Lifters. Whether you’re a functional fitness athlete or a weightlifter, you will find them beneficial.
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.
The level of detail, the breakdown of the lifts into their respective parts, video demonstrations and sample sessions to follow all make an amazing eBook. Also timeframes are provided and it is clear how long it should take you to practice and understand these lifts. Definitely recommend!
IT'S Good for learning OLYMPİC Weightlifting as a beginner and advanced athlete
IT'S Good for learning OLYMPİC Weightlifting as a beginner, ı am a newbie,ı want to learn OLY LIFTS but there is so much ınformantion on the net,so all of them is confusing but this program is teachs how to learn oly lifts as a begginer, but there is some minus side of this program, training days are so less, ı wish training days would be more, rather than 3 days at least it would be 4 or 5 days better. I am an advanced athelte but newbie to oly lifts.
It is incredible the benefits of having for a couple of times per week half hour of this program. As an hybrid athlete I love to train strength but since four years I integrated the running (running about 40 minutes in 10k and 1:30 in 21k).Honestly, Athletic Performance and Front Rack mobility programs represent a paradigm shift for my training. Thanks!!
AP program changed my way of training. Activation, plyometrics, power and pure strength are now combined and structured with sense. The program is challenging in particular for introducing Olympic movements. Then you see the benefit, how you fill, the power, and ask yourself how it's possible you have trained for so many years without them.
This program focuses on various overhead as well as core exercises to enable you to have a crisp 3rd pull and lockout. I recommend combining it with a light weightlifting program as weightlifting for functional fitness.
I bought this programm because I do a crossfit and not everything in weightlifting part is explain well. My mobility is really bad, so I decided bought this programm and now, I am in a first part of this programm and I found some really good exercises for each mobility and lifts. Everything has sense and fits perfect from one to other step. I now that my next programm will be from you again.
Very nice and easy, but effective manual for lifters :)
I have purchased several of Torokhtiy's programs. All of which were well done. However, this particular program I was unable to read the instructions due to the poor quality. Thank you for the opportunity to express my opinion.
Hi, Michael! Thanks a lot for your feedback. Sorry to hear there was a problem with the quality of instructions in the program.
Please reach out to us at direct@torokhtiy.com with a screenshot of the issue, so we can fix it and send you a version of the program with proper quality.
I like this program. Its structure is good, and it has just the right amount of volume for a master athlete. After the workouts, I haven’t felt overly fatigued, and I always look forward to the next training session. After training with the program for three weeks, I actually had to jump to the second-to-last week of the program because I was preparing for my first weightlifting meet. The competition went well, and afterward I returned to my normal routine and continued from where I left off.
Most Usefull Athletic Performans Workout of All Areas.
I am a boxer,ı have been looking workout programs for best suites me ı did a lot of resarch,ı deciced to comlex oly lifts , main litfs (bench,squat,dead etc) and plyometrics . But there is a so much exercises list on the net,its hard to find which one is good for taking. Then ı found the Torokithy Athletics Performans, its'a spectacular wokrout program. Thnx to Torokithy. Thank you so much sir.
A bottle for all occasions should be large enough to keep drinks for an entire training day, thermodynamically reversible enough to keep the drink cold for up to 6 hours, solid enough to withstand shock if an accident should happen, a handle to grip, easy to drink from and pretty to look at. All of these criteria are met by Thoroktiy's drinking bottle, and it is the best thing any drinking bottle may be.
Cakal som od tohto programu viac, chýbala mi tam špecifická rozcvička ako pri ostatných programoch.
Hey!
Sorry to hear that - version 1 of this program didn`t include this section yet, this version was released long time ago in 2018 and we started to implement special warmup block later.
