Mash Mafia 12 Week “Get Nasty” Olympic Weightlifting Workout

This workout is packed full of volume and general physical preparedness. This workout is for someone that has been training for a couple of years. There are a couple of important points:

• Stick to the misses allowed. Your CNS is going to take a hit as it is, so trust me on the misses allowed.
• Recovery is going to be very important.
• Increase your calories now.
• 8-9 hours of sleep is important.
• Schedule some extra mobility and stretching sessions

The lower, upper, and core imbalance work are sessions set aside for you as an individual to target your specific weaknesses. I am going to give you some options at the end, but you can be creative. Targeting my weaknesses has been a huge part of my recent success in my training.

Weightlifting is a brutal sport. If you are reading this, then you must be one of the crazies just like me. There are so many opportunities that we have each and every day to get better. What we do with those opportunities will determine how far we go in this sport.

I have news for you. It is not the big things like training hard that will separate you from the pack. It is the little choices like sleeping 9 hours, going to the Chiropractor, and proper nutrition that will set you apart. This journey is a hard one, but it is very rewarding at the end. Good-luck!

Before you check out the workout, I want to remind you all that I have two more “Mash Mafia Workshops & Train” this year. November 7th I will be in Eagan, MN at Undisputed Strength and Conditioning, and then November 14th at the Mash Compound in Clemmons, NC. Find out more by clicking on the link below:
