Hey and welcome to Savage Strengths Online Weightlifting Club!
The online version of our weightlifting club that runs directly alongside our in house weightlifting club at Stag Fitness Strength Centre and follows the same effective programming.
Between here and the private Facebook group you’ll have access to all of the same information and guidance our club athletes have access too.
You’ll also be able to mix and chat with Savage Strengths weightlifting athletes within the private Facebook group, not just allowing you access to our program and coaching, but to the same great community and culture our athletes help to create and nurture.
All this puts you in the best possible position to progress in the sport of weightlifting.
Below is a welcome video where I get to introduce myself and let you know a little more about the program.
Welcome!

The Bigger Picture
Wor Jack has identified a new competition in Altrincham, so I’ve cut the transition short and we’re going straight into a build… We’re 1 week out!
This Block
We’re into anime easy two week transition phase between programs. Take it easy, focus on moving well and push the bodybuilding hard.
Any problems or question, just let me know in the Facebook group.
If You’ve Just Joined Us
If you’ve just joined us and have been training consistently, start at Week 1.
If you’ve haven’t been training consistently, drop us a message in the Facebook group with some background so we can gauge the best approach to get you up to speed.
Extra Info
The program is designed as a 4 day program with an optional 5th. Don’t worry, you don’t have to do day 5 if thats not how often you usually train.
I’ve left instructions in the sheet and on what to do to change it to a 3 day week.
I’ve also left instructions to take it down to a 2 session a week plan if you plan on using it as a plug in to supplement a Crossfit program.
Delivered in Excel Format.
If you’re stuck, just pop any questions you have in the Facebook group!
Previous Mesocycles of the current program
Below you will find the previous mesocycles of the current training block. If it says not in use, w’re either not far enough along in the training cycle for them to exist, or we’re ending the current cycle and you’d be better off jumping into one of the ‘other programs’ until we start the next.
Intro Program
WL Team Intro Program
All of the information is inside the spreadsheet and if you have any questions just head over to the Facebook group and tag an admin.
Intro Programming:
This is a 4 week program to be used as either an intro program for those that haven’t trained much, or as a bridge program for those who joined late in the training cycle.
The program is general and is designed to get you up to speed with both, how to read the programming sheet and to find out where your currently are in terms of numbers.
Plugin Programming
Plugins
A glorious area filled with customisations to treat a variety of deficiencies.
Plugin Programming:
Click the link to head to our plug in programs page if there’s a specific issue you need to treat.
They’re generally higher frequency and higher intensity in nature's if you’re running one, just run one at a time would be my advice.
If you need some extra guidance, just ask in the facebook group.
Social And Coaching
Facebook Group
This is where the majority of the coaching and magic happens!
Private Facebook Group:
This is your hub to ask the coach questions on movements, the program and also a great place to socialise with the other weightlifters we coach.
Hotseat Q&A
If you would like to submit a question, or chat live on one of the calls, you'll need to fill in a ‘hotseat form’.
Just click the Link below!
The Hotseat:
There will be a ‘hotseat’ Q&A every Saturday Morning at 10am.
It’s the best way to get an answer to any questions you may have that require a deeper response than in the Facebook group.
We run both the Weightlifting & Strongman hotseat at the same time as there are crossovers in both sports and it allows each group an insight into the others sport.
What Next?
I know it’s a lot of information to take in and have thrown at you all at the same time, but nows the time to take it in and learn it. I’ll see you in the Facebook group where you can ask any questions you have.
SUGGESTIONS
If you have any suggestions about how too improve our Online Strongman Team, just pop them in the box and let us know.
