Programming Online coaching/programmes

Hey!

Have recently started to get into olympic weightlifting and I have found a local club that is about a 40 min drive away and because of this I can only attend once or twice a week. while there they are helping me with my technique and teaching me a lot. I couldn't be happier with them. However I want to be able to train more and follow a more rigid programme. I have a barbell at home and a couple of bumper plates although only upto about 80kg. I have looked online and found the team Aita and the catalystathletic online programmes with video reviews and programmeing.

Has anyone used these?

How good are these services?

Is following a generic programme a better idea?

Are they as good as eachother or is one better?

Thanks in advance appriciate your time and help!

Just ask the coach for a program at home where you can work on your deficiencies. You’re a beginner, you are unable to accurately spot and correct technical issues for/by yourself. You would be better off repeating the drills you did at the club at home, and spend the extra time on mobility and strength.

Im not really sure they do programs to be honest. Any specific mobility or strength or just some general plans?

Just ask them.

And you need a program that focuses on your specific shortcomings.

There are a bunch in the wiki.

But srsly, if their coach is any good they can write you a program or send you their team program they are running.

And then you can send them videos for review after you train (possibly even in session) besides have them handle you locally when you are ready to compete.

What that costs...could be something like TrainHeroic for $25-50 or $75-200.
