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/

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

There are a lot of variations of snatch, some are familiar some are not. Different weight percentages helps me to being aware of technical issues and fix them.

More than good.
+12kg in my 1RM.
I worked very well with this program, and the results were amazing. The only days with 30-45 minute workouts were tiring for me (too short workouts), but I supplemented it with the program full-body mobility for weightlifting). To sum up a nice 5 weeks, I will return to this program ;)

Thanks to the Snatch Cycle program I was able to get a new personal best. Also, my technique has gotten better.
Thank you for sharing your experience! Keep up the fantastic work, and may your journey be filled with even more breakthroughs and victories!

Very fun and effective!
Thank you very much for the program!
My former PR was a 70kg not-pretty-very-unstable-and-lucky-snatch.
After completing the five week snatch cycle I managed to do a controlled and well balanced 85kg snatch.
The program was fun with a lot of diversity in the exercises with great balance between strength and technique. Also great to do other things than just snatch like e.g., C&J and Squats.
So thank you again for a great program.
Niels from Denmark.
Niels, thank you so much for your review of the Snatch cycle!
Our goal is to provide a program that is both enjoyable and results-oriented, and it sounds like we were able to do just that for you.
Best of luck with your future training endeavors!

135lb Snatch in 5 weeks
Newbie here from Southern California, only started oly-lifting back 3-4 months ago and just finished this 5 week program (first legitimate fitness program I've ever done in my life) and by the end of it, on the final max out day, I hit 135lbs.
Highly recommend.
Only downside that I personally had was that some of the exercises in the program lists did not include an exact video of what needs to be done though you can easily find out what to do through the attached video or simply Google.
I will likely re-cycle this program sometime after other programs.
Thank you!

F$%&ing awesome
In a few words, this cycle by working on technique, speed, entry and all the basics for a snatch, I was able to increase my PR by 30lbs without any problem and the consistency in my percentages changed a lot for the better!
Right now I am doing the clean cycle and after two weeks I already feel very confident in it, I am eager to test the results.

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 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 :)
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.
