The Olympic Clean Masterclass is a very well structured program with a holistic view of training, and a wholehearted mindset, which is carried through it all. Already at the first read-through the expectation starts to rise.
The program's progression in 12 relatively short and intense sessions should be feasible for most people who want to give it a try. It will surely give you many sessions of sweat, pain, lows and highs. A basic knowledge of theory is enough to complete this programme.
That there should be so much more to learn from such a program is hugely important for developing an independent training routine. If an exercise is unfamiliar to you, you can use easy-to-understand symbols and see simple displays of each exercise in videos, which are a real support for the implementation. The program has been developed by a team of people with thorough and extensive experience in international weightlifting, physiotherapy and nutritional physiology. That fact alone is absolutely amazing. As I said, it is not time-consuming, so if you wish, there are great opportunities to add alternative exercises for the legs, or more muscle groups, to accustom the body to further training in weightlifting.
In pdf format, you can take the program with you when you travel and use it when it suits you. Here it is just a matter of continuing without obstacles. So it remains to be seen who is the last man standing.
I searched all over for a training program to learn the Olympic lifts on my own (without a coach / trainer), I discovered Torokhtiy and this program, the clarity, and comprehensive blew me away. You will not be disappointed by this program!
3.5 weeks in and not only am I not progressing I can’t hit my previous 1rm
If you’re 3.5 weeks into a snatch cycle and struggling to hit your previous 1RM, don’t panic - it’s more common than you think.
Our Snatch Cycle program includes high volume or intensity, your CNS and muscles might be too fatigued to express peak strength right now.
If you’re refining technique, your body may still be adapting to the new movement patterns.
It’s normal to feel weaker before the changes translate into a better lift. Strength progress isn’t always linear - sometimes you dip before you peak.
Our CYCLE must be fully completed (5 weeks) and by the end of fifth week it is time to taper/recover and only then to plan MAXOUT session.
And remember our motto – Warm Body Cold Mind.
Programme très bien construit qui permet de continuer de WODer tout en travaillant intelligemment en plus.
Je suis à la 5e semaine et aujourd’hui un snatch à 90% passé sans difficulté et sous fatigue.
La question c’est donc pas s’il aura un nouveau PR mais plutôt de combien !😍
I just finished my cycle and I didn't manage to improve my PR (75 kg / 165 lbs), however I definitely improved my technique, speed and strength. A bit sad I couldn't break through 75 kg but I still count it as a progress cause I improved successfull snatches ratio with lower weights (to 100% nearly). Giving 4 stars because not all exercises have proper videos linked (somebody already mentioned it). I recommend it overall, will give it a second try after finishing my clean and jerk cycle now :)
I have had two bad injuries on my shoulders because of an accident, many things were torn apart. After 1 year the strength came back for 90 % but still painful in the lock position and beginning. I did a lot of stretching which helped a bit. I started your program precisely and after 6 times the pain was almost gone and I am able to lock out with 2 x 32 kg kettlebell with ease. I am very grateful and although I do not weightlifting I am lose and explosive again. DEEPLY GRATITUDE!I I send a video doing a single heavy kb.
Its easy to follow and i like the amount of Sets. I’ve tried other training plans too—like CrossFit Weightlifting 101—but that one just killed me and my friend. It’s simply too much volume (more Exercises, more load, more Reps - thats Crossfit), or maybe I’m just too old at 51 to pull it off. :-) We are at Week 4 and we love it. My exercise form is becoming increasingly better and more stable. Whether I’ll be able to lift more weight at the end of the 10 weeks than before remains to be seen. But I expect so. I absolutely recommend the Master Diesel 2.0.
For those who wants to improve their squats like myself, look no further. The workouts are easy to follow but are effective at the same time. Great customer service from the team and it made me feel that the team is behind my success.
I tried to upgrade my order for the book and course, as I did not realize it was an option when ordering to save money, but customer service never replied back.
I just started this program and so far I love it. It is complete with mobility and core. It gives me structure and I look forward to my leg days. Highly recommend it
Nothing to say about the excercise but it’s a bit anowing to not have a way easy follow the plan with out moving from the pdf to the links, and having to create myself all playlists, I think you can create playlist allready set for the users
If you’re into weightlifting, this program is a great choice. It’s especially good if you want to focus on general weightlifting sessions. The weekly volume is well-balanced between harder and more moderate training days. I’m really enjoying the process and can already feel a lot of progress.
