Masters Olympic Lifting Program 4 Weeks 14 March 11 April
This is the Masters (40 years old +) program for Hong Kong Weightlifting. This program is quite similar to the
Beginners program, except it has one day dedicated completely to strength movements. Masters need a bit
more recovery and lack the fast-paced strength gains that Beginners experience. The program is updated
every four weeks. The coaches will evaluate each lifters progress and make changes as needed before the
next four week block. If you cant attend class, please follow along.
If you dont yet have any personal best to gauge the percentages below, go by feel, you will know when you
cant successfully lift another kilogram.
Terminology:
3r x 5 @60% - Three repetitions for five total sets
HS - Heavy Single, not a maximum lift, but whatever number is technically heavy for that day. Stop
after you hit that number, do not go for a max, leave something in the tank.
OHS - Overhead Squat (typically snatch grip).
Power Position - See photo
Mid Thigh Position - Halfway between your knees and waist.
DS @75% - Drop Sets, complete more lifts 25 percent lower than your best successful lift of the day.
2+1 - Complete two of the first portion of the lift, immediately follow with one of the second portion of
the lift. (i.e. 2 Cleans + 1 Jerk)
3 Point - Mid-thigh, knee, floor.
2 Point - From two positions off the floor, typically where coach advises for you.
From Floor - The lift begins in start position from the floor.
