Weightlifting
Coach
Mark Roberts

This 12 week program gradually exposes you to all the different Weightlifting movements, positions and accessory work that you need to excel at Weightlifting. 

The 12 weeks is split up into 3, 4-week blocks of training that each focuses on lifting from a specific position (Mid, Low and Floor). By the end of the 12th week you will be able to go for a heavy technical attempt from the floor. 

There are lots of variations and accessory to complete so that you can create a strong foundation for future development in the sport. 

Accessory work that couldn't be completed during the session should be moved to a 4th or 5th session to complete all work.

Get Strong!
Most beginner cycles focus solely on technique work and skips the strength work! Our program separates your skill work (technique) from your strength work so you can work on them both effectively. We don't believe you should stop building strength while focusing on technique.
