Calvin LackeyHostWhat separates a good weightlifting program from a bad program? In this episode, Coach Calvin and I review a training program that was submitted to us and show you exactly what we would change to make it more effective.
Let's dive in.
Welcome back to the Last Step, Best Step podcast.
I'm Coach Brian.
I'm the owner of Big Bend Strength, and I've been teaching Olympic lifting for 11 years now.

I am a coach through Big Bend Strength, as well as owner of Lionheart Weightlifting.
And today we're going to try something new.
We had a follower ask if we could critique his training program.
This is, I think, a program that he wrote himself.
So we're going to go ahead and review his entire training program.
We're going to rate it.
And then towards the end, we're going to give you our kind of like proposed version of the program or a new and improved version of the program.
So, yeah, let's go ahead and get into it.
