Masters: Power and Grace Performance Weightlifting

Coach
Jessie Stemo

This 4 day program is written with lower volume and shorter training sessions than our 3/5 Day options with the same thoughtful program design. The design makes it a great fit for athletes who might be working on a time crunch but still want to compete and reach their goals in the sport! Exercise selection is geared towards gaining strength and confidence in the lifts, and accessory work is geared towards stability. Join our team on Train Heroic to interact with a community of other athletes and receive regular feedback on your lifts from Jessie. Our training cycles will generally line up with meets on the masters circuit. We also are happy to help athletes prep for competition if it does not line up with our schedule - our goal is to help YOU reach your goals.

We are currently doing a training cycle leading into the 2023 Masters Pan Am Championships!
