THANK YOU
I just want to take the time to thank all of you for purchasing the Mash
Elite Program Sampler. The money raised from this book will help fund our
weightlifting team. My goal is to support these young men and women in the
pursuit of their dreams, and I couldn’t do it without all of you.

I feel very blessed to have some awesome members of the team. They
have several programs that have worked well for them over the years. I am
very excited to present them to you.

There are eight different routines in this book. That’s almost two years
of workouts to keep you busy. If you are a coach, there’s a program for just
about any type of athlete that will cross your path.

If you support our team, then you deserve a superior product - and that’s
what we’ve tried to give you here. Our goal is to always over-deliver.

I want to educate the world about the wonders of the barbell one athlete
at a time, one book at a time. You now have another tool designed to continue
that movement. I hope you enjoy the information, and I also hope you will
pass on the knowledge you are learning.

We are the ones responsible for making the world a little healthier and a
little stronger. Now, it’s time for you to pass it on.

MASH MAFIA BALANCED
ATTACK WEIGHTLIFTING
Most of you know us for this very thing: Olympic weightlifting. Arguably
we have the best weightlifting team in America. That’s why we have included
three programs in this category.

This “Balanced Attack” program could be used for anyone. It will have
you focusing on positions and stabilizing those positions with pauses and
accessory work. This program will be great for adding the strength and
muscle required in Olympic weightlifting.

You will notice a lot of the characteristics that all of my programs are
famous for like undulated periodization, pauses, conjugate method, and
accessory work to strengthen imbalances. This is a great program that will
give you a base of strength for years to come.

MASH MAFIA
BULGARIANISH
WEIGHTLIFTING
Everyone knows that in the Mash Mafia we like to go heavy. We like to
practice the lifts, but we like to get strong as well. We are not hitting a one-
rep max in the snatch and clean and jerk everyday, but we are going hard.
This program is filled with max complexes and rep maxes designed to get
you stronger and better at the lifts.

We definitely believe in accessory work for conquering weaknesses, so


we still have some accessory work. However, this program focuses on the
lifts, squats, and pulls more than the previous program. You will enjoy going
heavy and hard in this routine. You will need to put your big boy pants on, gird
up your loins, and prepare to go to work.

MASH MAFIA
WITH A TWIST
This is one of my all-time favorite routines. It is a two-a-day workout
for advanced lifters looking to put some serious kilos on their total. If you
don’t have time for the morning sessions simply drop them. The meat and
potatoes of the workout goes down in the evening sessions.

We leave no stones unturned in this routine. We practice the lifts with well
thought out periodization. There are phases of going heavy all throughout
the plan, while focusing on overall strength.

There are two ways to get better at the sport of Olympic weightlifting.
The first way is to get better (more efficient) at the contested lifts. The other
way is to get stronger in the areas that will lead to bigger lifts. This program
will make you stronger and more efficient at the same time. Enjoy!

MASH POWERLIFTING
I might be known in the coaching world as an Olympic weightlifting
coach - but as an athlete, I am still known as a powerlifter. In addition to my
weightlifters, I have some of the best powerlifters in the country at my gym.
We have a few principles that make our programs successful:

• Undulating Periodization
• Conjugate Method
• Accommodating Resistance
• Post-Activation Potentiation
• Frequency
• Accessory Movements Designed to Target Weaknesses

This workout will get you stronger, and it will focus on the required
muscles for maximizing your numbers. You will add to your lifts, and you will
have fun doing it. Enjoy!

MASH MAFIA
SUPER TOTAL HYBRID
This program is perfect for the person that wants to master the five
majorly contested lifts: Snatch, Clean & Jerk, Back Squat, Bench Press,
and Deadlift. This is my favorite way to train because you are getting the
best of both worlds. You are able to experience the athleticism of Olympic
weightlifting along with the raw strength of powerlifting.

This program will also get you jacked. Of course, we focus on the muscles
that will improve the lifts. However, in a hybrid type of workout you are using
pretty much every major muscle in the body. Hybrid workouts allow you to
be athletic, lift heavy weights, and look good doing it. Enjoy!

MASH #SQUATEVERYDAY
ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE
I have been a strength and conditioning coach a lot longer than I have
been a weightlifting or powerlifting coach. I started coaching athletes in the
late ‘90s, and I have loved every second of it. I have had the honor of working
with some of the best athletes in America, such as athletes in the NFL, NBA,
MLB, and countless Division I athletes.

I have used an extensive amount of programs, and all of them have


worked well. However, there is one that worked better than all the rest.

Around Thanksgiving of 2015, my longtime athlete, Cade Carney, came to


me to get him ready for his first semester at Wake Forest University. He had
just won the State Championships with his high school team. He was leaving
high school early to join his college team. That meant I had five weeks to get
him in the best shape possible.

I took some advice from Dan John, and I decided to keep things simple.
We focused on the movements important to football and overall athleticism.
I highlighted the squat, an Olympic movement (mainly the clean), a push
(either bench press or strict press), and a pull.

Our accessory movements were exercises that would promote good


movement, stabilize the spine and pelvis, and bulletproof the athlete to
take hits on the field. Carries, lunges, and rows will always be a part of our
workouts. Carries stabilize the entire kinetic chain and create better function
of the hips (allowing for better cuts on the field).

Relative strength is always important. We will always include pullups and
pushups because our athletes must move their own bodies with superior
strength out on the field.

We’ve also added plyometrics in contrast to the squats. The force


absorption and production of the plyometrics prescribed will transfer
immediately to the field.

The results of this workout were nothing short of miraculous. It wasn’t


just Cade that completed the program. Cade, Cammy, and Christian - all
Division I Athletes - followed it and experienced phenomenal improvements.

Cade’s clean went from 300lb to 375lb. His squat went up over 75lb to
505lb. He bench pressed 375lb. Did I mention he is a running back? Did I
mention he is starting as a true freshman? He rushed for 110yd of offense in
his second game with three touchdowns.

If you are an athlete or a coach for athletes, this program will produce
results. Enjoy the program!

MASH MAFIA ATHLETIC
PERFORMANCE SPEED
PROGRAM
Getting athletes faster has always been a fascinating part of my job.
Preparing an athlete to be faster is a lot like teaching an athlete to snatch
more weight. There is technique involved, practice of the movement for
efficiency, and (of course) strength.

Most of my speed work is derived from Coach Joe DeFranco, Martin


Rooney, and William Bradley. It’s simple and effective. I’m grateful to all the
coaches before me who have invented the movements and drills used in this
program. (If you’re unfamiliar with any of them, a search on YouTube should
turn up a treasure trove of results.)

Contrast training is my favorite way to get faster. We use heavy sleds and
prowlers to excite the system. Then we have the athlete sprint unloaded for
various distances. It’s basically post-activation potentiation for sprinting.

This program focuses on proper movement, breaking down the


mechanics, and then practicing the movement. Sound familiar?

Enjoy!
