Digital training programs:

We use Google Calendar and Google Meet for appointments and online meetings. A Google Calendar link is automatically created for the appointment as part of the booking process. You will find the link in the order confirmation email and the customer account under “Orders” in the order details. The link allows you to add the appointment to your Google calendar. If you don’t use Google Calendar, you can of course also save the appointment manually in another calendar. Please use the appointment details in the order confirmation e-mail or the order details.

We will also send you another appointment reminder by e-mail 48 hours in advance.

PROGRAMMING

If you already have some experience with the barbell, you can choose from three different programming options.

Oly Strength is perfect for all athletes who want to lift weights systematically on the side. The training plan is non-progressive and therefore complements your actual training with 2-3 sessions per week.

Follow The Red Line offers you progressive training progress. Measured against your target loads, you work on your performance in 3-6 sessions per week over 12 weeks to reach the next level.

Ready For Competition is suitable for all athletes who want to prepare for a competition and need a systematic training plan.

You basically train the programming as you have planned it. However, I can’t listen to your body and assess how exhausted you are, which is why you should definitely listen to your body’s signals and reduce the loads if necessary. Your health is the absolute focus. By the way, sore muscles are no reason to reduce the load! 😉

The price of your programming depends on the package you have booked and the number of training sessions. So you pay per training session.

If you are satisfied with your results, you can be proud of yourself first of all! You are free to work with the same program again by adjusting target loads or even move up a level and prepare for a competition.

COACHING

My personal training offer is for anyone who wants to improve their weightlifting technique. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a complete beginner or an ambitious weightlifter. We respond to your individual needs and coordinate your training plan for our joint session in advance.

In principle, all our PT’s are held at CrossFit Treibstoff (Im Tal 4, 74889 Sinsheim) statt. In individual cases, PTs can also held at other locations; this will be agreed upon individually in writing in advance.

The PT is designed for 2.5 hours to avoid excessive demands. After a short warm-up, we take care of your snatch and clean and jerk, depending on your strengths and weaknesses. At the end of the day, you decide what we want to improve technically, even squats.

The technique check takes place as part of an online meeting via Google Meet. After your order and payment we will send you an invitation incl. a meeting link.

Please record the video from the front (approx. 45 degree angle) and make sure the video quality is good in HD or 4K.
Make sure that you are completely visible in the picture during your lift and cut the video so that only the lift is visible. It is best to move a load where your technical defects or problems are clearly visible.

SEMINARS

My seminars are suitable for all those who have some basic experience in weightlifting. The movement patterns of pulling and pushing should be known and the mobility for both partial exercises should be available.

In principle, the seminars/workshops are aimed at the members of the host box. If places are available for external guests, we will communicate this accordingly.

My seminars are arranged individually with owners of boxes and gyms. You can find an overview of our current seminars here.

Ideally, you should have your weightlifting shoes or suitable training shoes in your gym bag. If you are the proud owner of drawstrings, it’s worth bringing these along too. The most important thing, however, is a good mood and a good dose of motivation.

PAYMENT

If something goes wrong during the payment process and the payment fails – a browser window is quickly closed by mistake or the Internet connection suddenly fails – you will receive an e-mail within a few minutes. A link will be sent to you in the e-mail to make the payment again. A customer account is also required to place an order on max-lang.com. So if your payment fails, you can make it again using the payment button in your customer account.

Did you choose credit card as your payment method?
The new 3D Secure procedure for credit card payments has been in force since September 14, 2019.

If you have not yet activated your card for 3D Secure at your bank and do not complete the two-factor authentication, your payment will not be processed. You can find more information about 3D Secure in the “Credit card payment with 3D Secure” tab below. To complete your payment, please register for the service with your bank and use the “Pay” link from the confirmation email as described above to complete the payment.

Is it still not working?
Then our customer service is looking forward to hearing from you. Even if we do everything we can to avoid such cases, it may happen that you are unable to complete an order due to other problems, such as a technical fault. In such cases, please contact our customer service, where the problem can be solved or, if necessary, your order can be created manually in our system.

European guidelines are changing to make online card payments even safer for you. For every order placed on or after September 14, 2019, you will be asked to verify your identity using 3D Secure. This will be indicated depending on the type of card you use (e.g. Visa Secure, Mastercard Identity Check or American Express SafeKey).

What do I have to do?
If you have not already done so, you should activate your card for 3D Secure. Most banks offer this service online. You can find this out on your bank’s website.

If you have already registered for 3D Secure or used the function before, you do not need to register again. However, it could be that your bank is setting up a new payment process to improve usage. Some banks have designed a new smartphone app specifically for this purpose. Please contact your bank for more information.

To ensure that you can pay easily and securely for your next order, we recommend that you activate 3D Secure before your next online order.

How does the payment process work with 3D Secure?
After you have entered your credit card number, expiration date and verification code at the checkout as usual, a connection to your bank will be established and you will be asked to confirm your identity (two-factor authentication). After correct authentication, the credit card payment is executed.

The authentication procedure may vary from bank to bank. You may therefore be asked to enter a security code similar to a password. Or you can receive a single-use code via your mobile app or text message.

If you change your mind during the payment process, you can easily change the payment method. Navigate to your customer account via the icon at the top right of the screen. Then select the “Orders” button and click on the “Pay” button in the “Actions” column on the right. You will now be redirected to the checkout page. Here you can then simply select the desired payment method in the payment methods section and complete the payment.

You can download a copy of the VAT invoice for one of your last orders in your customer account. You will also receive a copy of the invoice as a pdf by e-mail as soon as your order has been paid. Log in to download an invoice for your order.

The average banking term is up to three days, depending on the bank. In addition, banks do not book transfers on weekends and public holidays. Since most of our booking products have a lead time of less than 72 hours, we cannot always guarantee that payment will be received on time before the start of the appointment. That is why we only offer instant payment options. With “Giropay” (no registration required; participating banks: Sparkasse, Volksbank Raiffeisenbank, Commerzbank, Deutsche Bank, Postbank, Comdirect, Hypovereinsbank, PSD Bank, Sparda-Bank, MLP Bank) you can simply pay via your bank’s online banking via instant transfer.
