In the world of Olympic weightlifting, precision in programming can make the difference between a good lift and a gold medal. Today, we're diving into how RxBot, our AI coaching assistant, can help design a specialized program for Olympic weightlifters aiming to improve their competition lifts.

Client Scenario: Competitive Olympic Weightlifter

Our client is an Olympic weightlifter looking to gain muscle, build strength, and specifically improve their snatch and clean & jerk for competition. They need a program that balances volume, technique work, and heavy lifts across a five-day training week.

Coach Inputs

Here's what we told RxBot:

• Training days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday

• Program duration: 4 weeks, starting August 26, 2024

• Goals: Gain muscle, build strength, improve snatch and clean & jerk

• Special considerations:

  • Monday: Volume focus with upper-body pulling and core exercises

  • Tuesday: Light technique work and heavy strength exercises

  • Wednesday: Power variations of Olympic lifts and light core work

  • Friday: Heavy singles, doubles, or triples in Olympic lifts

  • Saturday: Light technique work with accessory exercises

RxBot in Action

We prompted RxBot with detailed instructions about the program structure, emphasizing the need to tailor the program for an Olympic weightlifter aiming to improve their competition lifts.

RxBot's Program Summary

RxBot designed a comprehensive 4-week program tailored for our Olympic weightlifter:

"This Olympic weightlifting-specific program is designed to gain muscle, build strength, and develop the snatch and clean & jerk with an emphasis on volume initially and progressing to heavier lifts through the week. The client will train on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, using principles from OPEX and general strength and conditioning knowledge. Each session targets specific goals to ensure a comprehensive and balanced training regime, aligned with the client's assessment data and priorities. Emphasis is put on upper-body pulling, core exercises, single arm push exercises, and hip mobility. The program progressively challenges the client while ensuring no exercise is repeated within the same workout and each session is carefully crafted to maximize performance and recovery."

Program Overview

Here's a snapshot of how RxBot structured the weekly training:

• Monday: Volume-focused work with emphasis on snatch, upper-body pulling, and core exercises

• Tuesday: Light technique work (clean & jerk) with heavy strength exercises (squats and presses)

• Wednesday: Power variations of snatch and clean & jerk, light core work

• Friday: Heavy singles, doubles, or triples in snatch, clean, and jerk

• Saturday: Light technique work (snatch) with accessory exercises for lower body, upper body, and core
