Snatch program is consist of heavy, technical and recovery sessions, which are balanced by volume and intensity and provide neuromuscular adaptation. Еach session is dedicated to SNATCH training.
In each weekly cycle, one training day is planned with an emphasis on the Clean and Jerk for “activating the muscle memory”.
Duration: 45-100 minutes.
INCLUDES:
5-week program (25 sessions included)
Created to develop result in SNATCH
Provide neuromuscular adaptation
Good for weightlifters and functional fitness athletes
Version compatible for mobile devices

OVER 60 EXERCISES
Most training sessions are filled with SNATCH lifting variations. High variety of snatch progressions, special and auxiliary exercises that are focused on improving explosiveness, overhead, receiving positions and turnover.
Program contains a wide variety of muscle snatches and press exercises with a high number of repetitions for the arm and overhead strength training.
These exercises will help learn to snatch and build an athlete’s overall positional strength, which will lead to better numbers and more confidence in the SNATCH.
optimized structure and distribution of load
optimized structure and distribution of load
The main volume of the program's load is aimed at developing the snatch, but also the program contains sufficient volume in snatch pull, clean & jerk exercises for “activating the muscle memory”.
There are no clean pulls in this program due to focus on snatch exercises.
Volume in squats optimally minimized.
* Recommended for offseason athletic development
SPECIAL WARMUP ROUTINE
SPECIAL WARMUP ROUTINE
SNACTH requires mobility, neuromuscular control, and power production.
A special warmup routine for mobility and prehab before each session will help to prepare the full body for safe and effective training.
It is a combination of auxiliary exercises to prepare muscles, ligaments, and joints.
HAVING TROUBLE WITH YOUR SNATCH?
Fix it with focused training!
SNATCH PROGRAM IS GOOD FOR:
intermediate and advanced male/female lifters;
weightlifters and functional fitness athletes during strength stage;
lifters who are stuck and want to develop result in Snatch.
Which of these training programs should you choose? We have a helpful guide that will help with your decision!
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.

satisfied overall
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 :)

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/

I really like all the variation in this program and it definitely improved my snatch. I went from 85kg to 90kg in just the five week!

A complete program
I haven’t been doing much OLY for a year+ and wanted to get back into snatching, this program looked perfect. Focus on snatch but with some cleans sprinkled in. Very nice program with excellent demo videos. I’ll be repeating it at least once when I’ve done the first 5 weeks
With over two decades of Olympic weightlifting experience, I know how small details can influence your lifting game. And I can say for sure:

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 2026, I officially earned my PhD in Sport Science!
You can perform this clean workout program in two ways:
If the task is to build a base for further competitive training, we recommend 5 sessions per week, where Thursday and Sunday are off days.
In the absence of a specific goal and competition timing, you can train every other day. This will extend the training program for almost 7 weeks and let you train sparingly with optimal recovery.
Can I combine it with other types of training?
Yes, you can, but 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.
Will this program prepare me for the competition?
SNATCH CYCLE isn’t a program that should be used to get ready for a competition. After the completion of the training cycle, an athlete can do a MAXOUT session in the SNATCH to check their current progress. If your goal is to compete,I recommend to continue training using my competition training program.
What type of equipment is needed for this program?
Barbell
Bumper Plates
Squat Racks
PVC
GHD
Rubber bands
Blocks
Kettlebells
Plyometric Box (approx. 20-24 Inch)
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 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!

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 :)
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.
I love this manual! I’ve learned new, efficient exercises to work through mobility for specific barbell movements. The layout, the videos and explanation of exercises are also really great! Thank you! Very happy I bought this.
