THE peak
PR your overhead, deadlift, bench, and squat
If you want to hit a big PR you need to have a smart approach.
We don’t just go into the gym with hope, a prayer, and a dry scoop of pre-workout. LSN programs use strength periodization to make sure you are at your PEAK performance when you are going for a new 1RM.
Peaking Cycle Goal: PR your overhead, deadlift, bench, and squat at the end of 8 weeks
This block follows the model of our other LSN power-building programs by using our main compound movements for strength work followed by deliberately chosen accessory movements that will support strength gains in the main movements and grow muscle.
THE PROGRAM
We have done all the building, now it’s FINALLY time to test! We start to drop the volume as we get closer to maxing out. This is important as our main focus is maximizing performance. We also include a recovery and conditioning day to relieve soreness, get some blood flow, and improve mobility.
Goal: Hit new 1RM in all main lifts, maximize performance, and maintain conditioning and improve mobility
Length: 8 Weeks
Days/Week: Four training days and one recovery day with mobility/prehab/conditioning focus
Main Movements: Overhead, deadlift, recovery/conditioning, bench, and squat
who’s it for?
This program is for anyone ready to max out their lifts and hit a PR, whether you are doing it for competition prep or it’s self-motivated.
