About The program

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 – Whilst actually looking like they lift!

Over the past 7 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, 99% of us are never gonna lift weights anything like Lu Xiaojun or Dmitry Klokov.  But most of us do stand a half-decent chance of looking like them if we put in the right type of work.



I created this 12-week weightlifting and bodybuilding programme with that goal in mind, combining the best elements of both sports.  Giving you enough work to get strong and become a better weightlifter, but also enough targeted bodybuilding to pack on some lean muscle.

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

   What’s included

Which Pieces of Equipment Will I Need?

The only equipment that you absolutely need is a barbell and bumper plates. If you have access to some light dumbbells or resistance bands that can be useful, but they’re definitely not required.

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 used this exact programme during my most recent diet phase, dropping 5kg across the 12 week period.  Just make sure that you’re listening to your body following the guidance included about total number of sets, i.e. reducing sets when needed.

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 Mr Olympia level physique or a world-championship weightlifting total in 12 weeks. What I can promise is a solid, proven programme built on the best current weightlifting and bodybuilding practices from around the world.
