Program Description
2 month powerlifting program block to follow up with more hypertrophy, a strength or peaking block if desired. Based on the CB 16 week program. NOTE: When asked for 1RM on variations, input the same as the competition lift (for touch and go bench put your pause competition bench 1RM and for SDL put your regular Deadlift 1RM form example) as calculations are based on that. Do not input or calculate actual max effort lifts for variations.
