Get In, Get Out: 3x60 Weightlifting for Parents

by John Russolillo

For busy parents with three hours a week. 6 weeks, 3 sessions, 60 minutes each: warm-up, Olympic lifts, strength, accessories. Monday is snatch day, Wednesday is clean and jerk day, Friday is the full lifts. Weeks 1 to 3 build positions with pause snatches, pause cleans and push press. Weeks 4 to 6 move to low hang snatches, low hang cleans and push jerks, with heavier squats and pulls. Week 6 ends with a heavy single in the snatch and clean & jerk so you leave with new numbers. Every set has a reason, every % lift has a plan if you don't have a max yet, and a rule for the nights you didn't sleep. Before you buy: Olympic weightlifting carries a risk of injury. Check with your doctor before starting if you have any injury or medical condition. This is coaching, not medical advice, and you train at your own risk. By buying, you agree to my coaching terms.

Train. Leave on time.

Your coach I'm a weightlifter and coach, 33 years old with two kids, and since having my first kid in 2023 I've stayed consistent, adjusted my training around family life, and kept hitting PRs. I compete in the 110kg class and just earned silver at the 2026 New England Championships. I help busy parents by consolidating warm-ups, main work and accessories into practical, needs-based programs so they get in and out of the gym and still balance home and work life.

Stop and tell me if anything hurts. This is coaching, not medical advice, and you train at your own risk. By buying, you agree to my coaching terms, listed at the bottom of my coach page.
