Not a Template. A Programming System.

A methodology-driven 3 day olympic weightlifting system built around a 15-week development cycle.
‍
Built on the Evans Velo Zone® developmental framework, the system organizes Olympic weightlifting training through a structured progression of Retention → Transfer → Re-attainment → Output → Heavy Singles → Expression.

‍The 3-day structure is deliberate: enough exposure to develop the lifts, strength, and competition readiness while preserving room for recovery, complementary training, work, sport, and life outside training.

Exercise flexibility is built into the system. Compatible substitutions preserve the purpose of the programmed training slot while loading and effort prescriptions adapt to the selected exercise where appropriate.

Framework-driven. Exercise-flexible. Structured to adapt without losing the intent of the program.

Background & Credentials

With a B.S. in Kinesiology, CSCS credentials, and advanced certifications including USA Weightlifting Level 2 and TPI Level 2, Steve’s work blends biomechanics, velocity based training, and applied coaching experience.

Built Through Applied Competition Preparation

“Using EVZ principles in my own Olympic weightlifting preparation helped me rebuild my training after a long period away from competition due to a chronic low-back issue.

Rather than simply chasing heavier lifts, I focused on whether performance was being retained, transferred, re-attained, and eventually expressed consistently across the cycle.

That process culminated in a 6-for-6 competition with PRs in both lifts, a 118 kg snatch and 140 kg clean & jerk.

More importantly, EVZ gave me a clearer framework for understanding what was holding up, what needed more work, and when I was ready to express it on the platform.”

How the System Develops Performance

Designed around three focused training days per week, the system prioritizes quality, progression, and repeatable exposure rather than simply adding more training days.

The Evans Velo Zone® Olympic Weightlifting Development System applies the broader EVZ developmental framework through a weightlifting-specific programming sequence:

Retention → Transfer → Re-attainment → Output → Heavy Singles → Expression

Each phase has a defined purpose:

• Retention — establish repeatable movement and output
‍
• Transfer — preserve performance as demand rises
‍
• Re-attainment — restore previously established high-intensity performance
‍
• Output — repeatedly express competition-relevant performance
‍
• Heavy Singles — build ownership with near-maximal loading
‍
• Expression — express the highest available performance through competition-specific or developmental testing

Structured progression. Clear objectives. Flexible exercise application.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a fixed program?
No. The developmental sequence, objectives, loading logic, and programming structure are fixed, while compatible exercises can be substituted within defined guardrails. This preserves the purpose of each training slot while allowing controlled exercise flexibility.
Do I need to train Olympic weightlifting more than three days per week?
No. The system is intentionally designed around three focused weekly sessions.
Is this only for competitive weightlifters?
No. It can also support strength and multi-sport athletes who want Olympic weightlifting development within a broader training schedule.
What happens after I purchase?
You’ll receive immediate access to the protected Google Sheets-based system. Make your personal copy, enter your athlete information and training maxes, then follow the structured 15-week EVZ development cycle using the provided prescriptions, loading guidance, governed exercise substitutions, quality standards, and integrated training log.
What exactly do I receive?
Immediate access to the complete EVZ™ Olympic Weightlifting Development System under a personal-use license, including athlete setup, a structured 15-week developmental cycle, phase-based programming, governed exercise substitutions, loading and effort prescriptions, quality standards, macrocycle visibility, and integrated training logging. No recurring subscription is required.
Can I substitute exercises?
Yes. Programmable exercise slots use governed dropdown options so compatible variations can be selected without abandoning the developmental purpose of the session. Prescriptions, loading or effort guidance, and quality standards adapt where applicable.
Is coaching included?
No. The purchase includes the programming system and associated resources; individualized coaching is separate.
