Good program, wish there was more isolated and technical work rather than CJ/Sna/Sq only. However not a terrible thing in itself, numbers and technique have improved significantly. Will come back in another few months and see where I’m at. 

This was such a great and straight forward intro to Olympic lifting program. I have always wanted to delve into a solid OL program with a sensical build up. This accomplished this.

Really good program if you’re new to WL.

Great program, you obviously need to be trained in the lifts. But the workload this program sets up is excellent to get volume and practise doing the lifts. The 4.5kg progression on squats, is a bit dramatic. Start light as possible if you have been untrained for a while .

Excellent program for me to continue to sharpen my weightlifting skills

Perfect transition from powerlifting

Pretty good program however I think if you can afford being in the gym a lil more often throwing in a few extra days would definitely help but If you only want to be in the gym 3 days a week it’s great

Good for starting with oly lift.

Using this as a way to learn weightlifting before my regular workouts. Skipping the non-Oly lifts, takes 15-20 minutes and I’m getting great practice out of lots and lots of singles. Simple and effective

The program is okay I guess but is also lacking severely in terms of proper periodization and programming/selection for accessory lifts. I've made a few small snatch and c&j PRs, but the lift that progressed the most and by a large margin was back squat (160 kg->200+ish kg based on 5RM in ~10 weeks). That said, this is also my biggest gripe with the program as despite my best attempts to autoregulate I ended up with a patellar tendonitis in my left knee by the week 11 and couldn't finish all 12 weeks. Tldr The program is okayish but lacks proper periodization and requires major changes to accessory lifts. Squat progression might not be sustainable for some folks even when autoregulated properly.
