About The program

The things that work tend to work for a reason

With more and more weightlifting content appearing online it can end up feeling a bit overwhelming trying to incorporate all the different training ideas.

So what I’ve done is stripped away all the fluff and put together a tried and tested 13-week classic programme based on timeless, no-nonsense scientific principles.  



My name is Alex Parry, I’m a strength, conditioning and weightlifting coach that helps athletes and weightlifters refine their technique, get stronger and hit PR’s.

Over the past 8 years, I’ve coached everyone from everyday athletes through to squads of national and international level competitors.

And I can tell you one thing for certain, the fundamentals done properly will ALWAYS beat flashy new approaches done poorly.

I created this 13-week classic weightlifting program to give you everything you need to hit massive PR’s. No Fluff or filler.

It’s priced super-reasonably so it should be within most people’s budget, and you can purchase the programme by clicking over there…

Alex Parry, MSc, BA.

Alex has worked as a professional weightlifting and strength & conditioning coach for almost a decade, coaching recreational through to senior international athletes.

He’s also an assistant lecturer and PhD researcher at the University of Hull, and an Educator for British Weightlifting.

I wanted to put together an evidence-based, well-designed weightlifting programme better than what’s out there, so that you can reliably increase your snatch, clean & jerk and total.

   What’s included

Which Pieces of Equipment Will I Need?

The only equipment that you absolutely need is a barbell and bumper plates.  Access to something like a GHR or back extension machine might also be useful, but certainly not essential.

What are your coaching Qualifications?

I have a Masters Degree in Strength & Conditioning, Level 1 and 2 British Weightlifting Certifications and Level 3 Sports Conditioning Certification. I am also currently pursuing a PhD in Strength Coach-Athlete Relationships.

Can I Use This Programme Whilst Cutting/Dieting?

Absolutely, I’ve had athletes use this exact programme whilst dropping weight for a new competition weight class.  Just make sure that you’re listening to your body.  You may have to reduce sets if diet fatigue is very high.

What If I Can't Do a Particular Exercise Due to Injury or Equipment Limitation?

Feel free to sub out and replace exercises as needed. And if you’re really struggling, you can drop me a message, alex@characterstrength.co.uk, and I’ll brainstorm a custom solution for you free of charge.

How Will I Access The Programme?

After purchase you will be automatically redirected to a page where you can download the programme as an excel document.  If you encounter any issues, just email alex@characterstrength.co.uk

What Type of Results Can I Expect From the Programme?

Your results will depend on a range of factors including training experience, nutrition, sleep and even your genetic potential.  I’m not some A-hole internet coach who’s gonna promise you a world championship weightlifting total in 13 weeks.  What I can promise is a solid, proven programme built around hard work and quality training
