Below is a program written by Coach Jason Purdhom from Mash Mafia MN. It’s his version of a Bulgarian Program with a Mash Mafia MN twist, and I love it. I can tell you now, Donny Shankle would love it. Jason knows what he’s doing. Just ask Tri Phu 62k Silver Medalist! Buckle up and get your grind hat on!
First, this is the last week to take advantage of our Christmas Specials:

12 Weeks of Undisputed SC – A Mash Mafia MN take on things.
First off, a bit of an intro. Maybe a little bit of a disclaimer. If you’re not used to doing the lifts on the daily, ease into it over a week. Just do Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday the first week, and do Monday/Wednesday/Friday/Saturday the second week. By the third week, start the first week over and do every day. Then just carry on through the 12 weeks and you’ll be great!
Second, things you may need. I STRONGLY encourage you to invest in a good pair of straps. Hell, just buy a long belt, cut it in half and tape the ends together. WHAM! A pair of straps or free or $2-3 from your corner thrift store. Easy stuff. If you have any questions, get at me.
Jerk blocks will be incredibly helpful. I’ve made them for my gym for about $200 for the set. If you need to make them, you need a saw, a drill and a tape measure. It isn’t super hard. If you need help, again, get at me. There are a lot of jerks in this program. I do not demand that they are all re-racked. That, plus the volume of cleans will eat up your collarbones if you aren’t smarter than you are than reckless.
This needs to be said. Don’t be a hero on this program. If it says daily max, I mean work up to something that feels like the limit. Take one more attempt if you must. Daily max IS NOT a PR. It might be, if it’s a good day, but I do not mean take PR shots on the regular. If you’re feeling like it’s there, go for it, but if you miss (and by “miss” I mean technical miss. If you make the lift but need to take 2 steps forward to save it, or steps sideways, or red lights on the jerk, etc that’s a make, but for this program it’s a miss. Or at least a shut down point. The goal is to stick the landing and make all these lifts look at LEAST halfway decent. If you need some help judging, direct message me on instagram at “undisputed_weightlifting” (along with your coach, so we can work together, if you have one) or use the hashtag #undisputedsc and/or @mashmafiamn). If it’s repeat waves, hit up to your max (reread the last paragraph), go back down to 70-75% or so and wave back up to your technical limit. That should be it. Also, if you’re a split jerker, do a couple sets of lunges with the opposite foot forward just to even our your hips and legs before you go home for the day.
I cannot emphasize how great a coach is. Not just for programming, but for daily feedback on how you’re looking, if you’re slacking, if you’re focusing more on taking instagram videos than lifting the damn weight, etc. A good coach will keep you on task, push you more than you’re willing to push yourself, shut you down when you’re being reckless, and just be a good influence in your life (hopefully).
Ok, that’s enough chatting. Thanks for taking a look and I sincerely hope this works for you as it’s worked for us and our lifters. We qualified 4 of our 9 “full time” lifters to a national meet within 6 months of being a gym, and only one of those 4 have over a year of lifting. In short, if you show up and put in the work and be consistent, the results will follow.
If you’re using this as a 12 week cycle before a meet, see the note at the end about tapering and how we can help. Just saying that here so you know it’s there before you get to the end. No easter eggs in here. Promise.

If you get sick or bored of a certain exercise, you’ve got options. Don’t pick something you don’t want to do, but try to get SOME variety over the weeks. This is where a coach is able to see imbalances starting and help get you faster on the right track/make you do things you don’t want to do.
Week 1 Day 1. Monday.
Snatch – 2 waves. Start with the bar. Make 10% jumps up to 80%, then go 3-5% increases up to your technical max. Once you establish that, go back down to 70-75% and wave back up to a technical max again. Those are your 2 waves. Put those #’s in your notebook.
Clean and Jerk – Work to daily max double
Back Squat – Find your 10RM. Keep that weight on there, catch your breath, and accumulate another 20 reps with that weight.
Week 1 Day 2. Tuesday.
Muscle Snatch – 4 sets of 4 reps. Kinda light, obviously. I am pro bar/body contact and a smooth turnover.
Power clean/ 3 jerks – rebound your jerks. Down UP right away. Keep it FAST. 75% ish. If that feels really easy, go up a little. 4 sets.
Snatch Grip RDL’s – 5 sets of 6 reps. Lower as close to the floor as possible with a straight back.
Bent Over rows – Try to stay as parallel to the floor as possible. 3 sets of 8 reps.

Week 1 Day 5. Friday! Max out Friday!
3 misses and out both lifts (technical misses count as misses. Max out is NOT the same as PR, unless you’re on fire. As far as I’m concerned, if you’re hitting 90% of your PR on any given day you’re having a “good day”)

This is not a SUPER FAST RESULTS IMMEDIATE GAINZ ADD 50 POUNDS TO YOUR LEG PRESS IN 3 DAYS style program. This is a long haul program. This is a “work hard and the results will follow” program. This can be done immediately followed by a 4-8 week strength block will less emphasis on the fast lifts (which I will be addressing in my next release) or this program can be done indefinitely (if you have someone to keep an eye on your weaknesses and address them – less squatting, more pulling, overhead is weak in one direction, things like that) when done right. Don’t be afraid to take a day to go easy. Move light weights faster if you’re beat up. Don’t take the day off completely. You’ll feel worse. Get yourself in, skip the program for the day and just move a bar or 50% loads for a while and peace out. You’ll feel better the next day. Eventually you’re gonna feel like garbage and everything will feel heavy. Ride it out. Do the best you can. That’s all I ever ask. You’ll make it through. Glory waits on the other side. We’re looking to raise the minimums. Along with the minimums going up, the max tends to go up too. Funny how that works. Some day’s you’ll hit a solid 15kg under your PR, or even your last day’s performance. That’s ok. Ride it out. Embrace the day to day. That’s where the improvements are made Again, use #undisputedsc and/or #mashmafiamn and we’ll keep an eye on you and help out. Find us on Instagram at Undisputed_Weightlifting.
TAPER WEEK!
First, if you’re new to competing I suggest opening with something you can double on consecutive days for the snatch, and can hit twice in 30 seconds on the CJ. Something that you won’t mentally check out on, but something you can hit with your eyes closed and you know it. Second attempt should be a pretty sure make if you don’t shit the bed, and the third you can shoot for your qualifying total or a PR attempt if it’s in the cards.
Ease out the accessory work (pulls, presses, etc). Stick to the main lifts the last week/week and a half out.
Saturday before meet.
Take the day to recover. Light snatches and cleans. Crisp. Easy. Try to move well and get some soreness out.
Get a massage or chiro on Sunday if possible.
Monday before meet
Hit your openers. Nice and easy. 2 reps each. 3 heavy doubles on back squat.
Tuesday before meet
Work up to your 85-90% effort on both lifts. This will be your last heavy day. Be sure to not over-reach. Keep it within tolerance.
Wednesday before meet
Double your Opening snatch, hit 2 opening CJ inside a minute. 2 singles front squat @ last attempt CJ
Thursday before meet
Nail your openers. 2 singles each. One heavy back squat single.
Friday before meet. (assuming Saturday meet)
Do any recovery work that is needed early in the day, move a barbell and relax.
Meet Day!
Relax. Know that you are prepared. Stay calm and execute. You should be feeling pretty good and ready to rumble. Good work, good luck, and let us know how you did!
If you’ve got questions, give us a shout!
