This program is the exact routine I followed to hit a 1k subtotal at 190lbs bodyweight. 

My deadlift increased from 635 to 700 (almost a 10% increase!) and my bench increased from 335 to 380 (double bodyweight!).

This is a 12 week routine, with two workouts per week, focused on peaking 1rm and limit strength. It is designed to work with a friday night or saturday meet/max out effort at the conclusion of the 12th week.

The workouts emphasize power and force production, with each block focused on specific elements of the deadlift such as leg drive/floor speed, lockout strength, core strength, and general physical preparedness.

There is adjustability in the program if you have specific weak points in your lift, however, we take a systematic approach at strengthening every portion of the lifts throughout the program.

This program is designed to increase your lifts by 5% or more. Meaning, if you have a 600 pound deadlift, that's a 30% increase. I recommend taking 6-8 weeks off after this program before running again. If you were to run this program 3x over the year, you could reasonably and realistically add 90 pounds OR MORE in a year.

Remember that lifestyle factors are a significant contributor to your success. If you follow the program to a T but eat like shit, sleep like shit, and are constantly stressed, you will not be operating at your full potential.

For more information, and a consultation on the external factors that you need to operate at peak potential, schedule a FREE consult call with me at https://calendly.com/stevenmcoyne/goal-setting-strategy-session
