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 am really enjoying the plan. I am moving so much better in my lifting sessions.

This is a really good program and package. there are so many lessons to glean from this program: not just the weight or volume, but the intensity, commitment and willingness to give everything to succeed. "Uncle Rus" also shows how to perform the accessory exercises very well. top marks and well done to the team at Torokhtiy Media

Great for technique training
Since I get nervous with the heavy barbell, I need weekly heavy snatch and clean & jerk work so I add this to this program.
Im only 1 week in, and so fare the program is great for improving upper-body strength. I am looking forward to improve strength and technique for the lifts.
There are instructional videos to every exercise and they are very helpful.

I highly recommend any form of interaction or learning with Oleksiy, whether online or in person.
I have experienced both methods of coaching, and the level of knowledge, patience, and communication is at the highest level.
I have great respect for your work and will continue to follow both You and Him as weightlifting institutions.

Very good program for beginners
It's an extremely good program for beginners who are getting to know the discipline. It works very well for people with previous experience in lifting as well.

Jerk Master Class
I've just completed the Jerk Master Class and I can recommend it to anyone who is looking to refine their technique in the Jerk.
The programming is thoughtful and well constructed, and the feedback from the Coach is comprehensive. I have felt real improvement in my technique during the Master Class, and I'm looking forward to putting it into practice on the platform.

Went through week one before planned break to feel it out
So I went through the first week before I got on my 2 week break, mostly to feel out the program and make my mind on it.
So, as of now I can say that I do enjoy the volume and the general idea of the plan. It’s very well structured (though I will never be a huge fan of bench presses) and I can clearly see the potential. One note - if you plan to do it with Oly lifting in mind the optional day IS NOT optional for you.
Overall i highly recommend it to build strength foundations regardless of how experienced you are.

Snatch technique improved
I never was able to do a proper snatch because I had fear of going under the bar. This program helped me improve in the technique and build confidence doing the snatch. I was also able to increase the weight. Watch my videos here. https://www.instagram.com/jasonjustlifts/reel/DYUyUqVOkY4/

MEET YOUR COACH
MEET YOUR COACH
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 2026, I officially earned my PhD in Sport Science!
This is a 10-week competition preparation program specifically engineered for Masters weightlifters aged 35 and older, both men and women. It is tailored for athletes who want to maximize their Snatch and Clean & Jerk performance while completely prioritizing joint health, movement quality, and recovery.
What is the weekly schedule and time commitment?
The program features 3 primary training sessions and 1 optional low-fatigue technical session per week. This flexible structure allows you to get elite results without living in the gym or destroying your real-world schedule.
Do I need a new Master Diesel 2.0 program if I trained according to the Master Diesel program?
The answer is yes, 100%! Master Diesel 2.0 is a completely new program. This training program is unique, featuring optimized loads, and new accessory work compared to the original.
What equipment is needed?
You need the following equipment for the best results:
Olympic Barbell
Bumper Plates
Squat Rack
Bench
Pull-Up Bar
PVC Pipe
Weightlifting Straps
Rubber Bands
Dumbbells or Kettlebells
Collars
GHD
Additional mobility tools
Do I get lifetime access?
Yes. You receive lifetime access, including all future updates.
I’m a coach - can I use this for my gym or clients?
This program is for personal use only. If you’d like to use it commercially for your gym or athletes, contact us via email to discuss licensing options and additional benefits.
Why are there two versions of Master Diesel 2.0 - a main version and a Female version? What's the difference?
Master Diesel 2.0 is built around percentages based on your current 1RM values, so it automatically adapts to each athlete and works equally well for both men and women.
We've found that athletes search for programs differently, and some women may assume a program isn't intended for them when they see a male athlete featured on the landing page without any note that it's also designed for women. That's why we created a separate Female version «technical» page - to make that clear.
If you purchased both versions of Master Diesel 2.0, reach out to us at direct@torokhtiy.com and we'll make it right.

I made good progress with the lifts in terms of stability and execution. Highly recommended if you already have some experience in the lifts but still have a lot to solidify.
