Program Description

This is a 6 week beginner powerlifting peaking block from Squats & Science. This is a pretty unique program because there aren’t many peaking program designed strictly for the beginner powerlifter. It never hurts to have a well-written program from smart coaches added to the archive! As you’d expect, the average intensity gradually increases, peaking in week 4, before volume is drastically reduced in weeks 5 and 6 while still hitting a few high intensity sets in week 5. The program’s last training day is 3 days before the meet date, but only reaches 80% intensity and is very low volume. This program is 4 days per week. The athlete squats, benches, and deadlift 2 times per training week. Definitely worth checking out for lifters preparing for their first powerlifting meet!
