Hercules programming is responsible for the development of many international level weightlifters in Canada since 1988. In almost every case, these individuals were brand new to Olympic Weightlifting with varying backgrounds in other sports. Our training progression approach was used to prepare athletes to reach their weightlifting potential.

These programs apply principles of loading, unloading and periodization to ensure athletes have an effective balance of learning, muscle stimulation, rest and injury prevention.
