About this program
Eight-week intermediate Olympic lifting program structured in the Catalyst Athletics methodology developed by Greg Everett. Four training days per week (Mon/Tue/Thu/Fri) cover the full snatch and clean & jerk plus their key variations, anchored by heavy back and front squats.
The weekly template: Mon — heavy snatch + back squat; Tue — heavy clean & jerk + front squat; Thu — snatch variations (power, hang) + back squat volume; Fri — clean variations + clean pulls + jerk recovery. Wednesday and the weekend are full rest.
Two 4-week phases. Phase 1 (wks 1-4) Build — work the full lifts at 75-82%, multiple sets of doubles. Phase 2 (wks 5-8) Intensify — progressive singles at 85-92% on the full lifts, with a final-week heavy single (capped at 92%, not a true max). Best for intermediate weightlifters with at least 6 months of consistent OL practice and a stable squat base.
