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.
I really enjoy the program, I wish that there was a excel version that I could put in the % to be able to keep track of the workouts without having to write them down into a book

Male Weightlifting 2.0
Considero excelente este programa para levantadores de pesas intermedios y avanzados. Los ejercicios son retadores y escalados para conseguir objetivos semanales. Las cargas de peso son progresivas cada semana y con el fin de alcanzar o superar tu RM en snatch y clean & jerk. Una programación fácil de leer y entender; además, incluye videos tutoriales para ejecutar cada ejercicio o movimiento. En mi experiencia, logré rebasar mis porcentajes máximos en arranque olímpico y envión. Sin duda, recomiendo este programa a todo levantador de pesas aficionado que desee mejorar su técnica y superar sus récords en halterofilia. ¡Saludos, halterófilos!

Superb Male Weightlifting 2.0 program
Pros:
Effective: Lifters report seeing improvements in their lifts (snatch and clean and jerk) and overall ranking.
Well-structured: The program is easy to follow with a clear progression.
Variety: The program incorporates a variety of loads and exercises to keep things interesting and target different muscle groups.
Video demonstrations: The program includes video demonstrations for exercises, ensuring proper form.
Cons:
May not be for beginners: The level of instruction might be insufficient for someone completely new to Olympic weightlifting.
Specificity: The program is specialized for Olympic weightlifting and may not be suitable for general gym-goers or bodybuilders.
Overall, the Male Weightlifting 2.0 program seems like a well-designed program that can help experienced weightlifters improve their lifts. However, it may not be the best choice for beginners or those looking for a more general strength training program.

More accessories
You could include more acessorie work in the days were the traning are not so hard!
Thank you, Sergio!
We will consider this, when developing Male 3.0 program!
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.
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.
