Weightlifting 101 phase 1

Program Description

The purpose of this 16-week Olympic weightlifting program is to guide athletes through a structured cycle designed to maximize strength, power, and technique. By gradually increasing intensity, focusing on key lifts (snatch, clean & jerk, and squats), and incorporating peak training weeks, the program prepares athletes to achieve personal records (PRs) and perform at their best during max-out attempts. Key objectives include: • Building maximal strength in the snatch, clean & jerk, and squats. • Improving technical proficiency and barbell movement under fatigue. • Developing power through explosive lifts and accessory movements. • Preparing for peak performance, culminating in a final testing week to hit new personal bests. In essence, this program is aimed at athletes who want to increase their Olympic weightlifting totals while developing a deep mastery of form, technique, and power output
