I build the two Olympic lifts the way the sport does — positions first, then speed, then load — backed by squat and pull strength and the mobility your catch positions need. Positions, speed and power under the bar, trained the way the sport trains them.

Your coach tells you why you're training something

Why this session?

The snatch and clean & jerk are won in the positions and the speed under the bar, and stood up by the legs and back. This session trains the lift itself at technical loads, then backs it with the pulls and squats that make heavier weight possible — so load climbs only while the bar path and catch stay exact.

What this plan covers

Snatch & clean & jerk

The competition lifts trained at technical loads, built up through power and hang variations.

Squat & pull strength

Front squats, pauses and heavy pulls — the strength that stands the lifts up.

Positions & turnover

Tall snatch, lifts from blocks and pause work to sharpen speed under the bar.

Overhead & catch mobility

The ankle, hip and shoulder range a confident snatch and front rack demand.

A demo on every lift

Each exercise links to a clean demonstration video so you can see it before you train it.

Progress from logs

Your coach reads your sessions and adds load only when the movement holds.

Frequently asked questions

Is this bodybuilding?
No. This is Olympic weightlifting — the snatch and clean & jerk trained as barbell skill: speed, power, positions and precision. It builds strength and athleticism, but the goal is the lifts, not a physique.
I've never done the Olympic lifts — can I start here?
Yes. The Classic Olympic Weightlifting Coach teaches the snatch and clean & jerk step by step, from light, exact positions before the weights climb. Every movement has a demo video so you can see it before you train it.
What equipment do I need?
A barbell, plates and a squat rack. Bumper plates and a lifting platform are ideal for the competition lifts; where a rack or blocks aren't available, the plan names substitutes.
What's the difference between the two coaches?
Classic teaches and builds the full lifts step by step — best if you're learning or want structure. Chinese-Inspired is a position-first technical style that refines lifts you already know: stronger legs, faster turnover, cleaner bar path and better catch positions.
Is it free?
Yes, GetMyCoach is free during early access.
