One framework. Your starting point.

Foundation

Learn the movements.

Build confidence with squatting, hinging, pushing, pulling, and bracing. Exercise variations and loading match demonstrated lifting competence.

Developing

Build consistent strength.

Progress established lifts, introduce appropriate power work, and build training habits that support your throwing.

Experienced

Connect strength to the season.

Use more demanding strength and power work where appropriate, with loading and volume adjusted around competition priorities.

Throwing experience and weight-room experience are assessed separately. Coach Jak selects the starting level after reviewing your intake.

Included in every program

A clear plan for both weekly lifts.

  • Initial intake and equipment review
  • Warm-ups, strength work, power work, and accessory work
  • Exercise selection, sets, reps, and loading guidance matched to your level
  • An individual Google Sheets program and lifting log
  • One scheduled midpoint review with adjustments

Practical equipment choices

Use the weight room you have.

Your equipment checklist guides the exercise variations. Standard barbells, dumbbells, benches, and body weight form the baseline; bands, chains, and specialty machines are optional.

Accessory work remains a core part of the plan, including appropriate upper-back, posterior-chain, unilateral, shoulder, arm, and trunk work.

Before you start.

Is this supervised lifting?

This is a written program for two weekly lifting sessions. Tell us what instruction and supervision are available so exercise choices match what you can perform well.

What if my school already has a lifting program?

Include the required school or team program in your intake. Coach Jak reviews the combined workload and discusses how the plan should fit with your existing training.

Can it target Districts, Regionals, State, or Nationals?

Yes. The season program accounts for the qualifying meets and your chosen priority championship. Share the full meet schedule and update Coach Jak if qualification changes your final meet.

What follow-up is included?

Each package includes the initial assessment and one scheduled midpoint review with adjustments. The package does not include weekly coaching, unlimited revisions, or in-person throwing sessions.

When will I get my program?

Coach Jak confirms the delivery timeline after reviewing your intake. The program is delivered after payment is arranged and completed.

Start with your current level.

Your equipment, training history, and goals shape the next step.
