9 reviews for Intermediate Block Periodization Oly Program
This program was developed by Dr. Kyle Pierce for the intermediate Olympic lifter looking to hit new max totals in snatch and clean & jerk. It was developed using Dr. Pierce's research on block periodization to maximize your strength gains. It is divided into 3 phases.
Phase 1 starts with higher volume and lower intensity. The main lifts are done from the hips (hip clean and hip snatch).
Phase 2 volume is dialed back as intensity is dialed up. Main lifts are done from the knee (hang clean and hang snatch).
Phase 3 is a tapering phase in preparation for hitting max attempts on the final day.

Only half way through and on the come back from an injury. I’m new to the snatch and clean and jerk and the volume is helping to really learn sections of the lifts. Looking forward to the rest of the program.

So I was recommended to this app by a coworker, and by the sound, it seemed like a great program! So I think my expectations were set high, so I gotta say that first! Now I’m not saying the program did not work, because it did! But I think it wasn’t anything I was super wowed about, other than the fact that I stuck to it and followed through w it! All the benefits (I feel I loved): It def kept me locked in. Following this program actually helped hold me ACCOUNTABLE! So that was amazin! Loved the different VARIETY in EXERCISES! Helped BUILT WEIGHT! It showed me how to STRUCTURE EXERCISES better. Had me SWEATIN, I was super FOCUSED because I wanted to develop my performance! Which it also did, it helped me ADVANCE my PERFORMANCE! The clock was super convenient because it also showed me how long I was taking to complete the workout! Minor dislike: I guess I just had higher expectations, so I was expecting it to challenge me more, so I get more results! But that could be due to a combination of diff things!
