8 Week Powerlifting Peaking Cycle
Week 1
The first two weeks include four lifting days-two upper body and two lower body.
Additionally there is a lot of [Link] the early phases ofa training cycley an

On the fifth weeky intensity gets turned up to begin actualizing your strength gains the
previousvolume builds your work capacity while adding on muscle mass. The lower reps Of
this weekonwardhowever will adapt your neuromuscular system and allow you to produce
the mostamount of force possible on all three lifts.
The exercises remain the samey but dont forget about the note above accessory
movements canbe changed as long as the amount Of repetitions and sets remains the same

Week7
This is the last week oftraining heavy and is a great time to test your

have the opportunity to do a set formaximum repetions. Using the Epley formula
you can then get a general idea for what youractual l-rep-max is.
