You will start a cycle focused on the development of strength and maximum power in the 3 fundamental movements of powerlifting: squat, bench press, and deadlift. 4 sessions will be conducted each week.
The cycle is organized around 3 blocks: an accumulation block over weeks 1 to 4, an intensification block over weeks 5 to 8, and a final concreting block over weeks 9 and 10 ending with the completion of 1RM on the 3 movements.
These 10 weeks are built around the principle of the triphasic method: the goal is to provide each week on each of the 3 movements an eccentric stimulus, a speed stimulus, and a last isometric stimulus.
This cycle is designed to be a good starting point for a beginner/intermediate practitioner wanting to try out the specific work of maximum strength and power.
