Devanney Strength

Powerlifting
Coach
Jordan Devanney

This program is designed in accordance with the Block Training System. It is a three-block peak, each block is four weeks long and all have a 3:1 loading to restoration microcycles. To keep things simple, I have held with three sessions per week. 

Block 1 - Purpose to prepare the body and joints for the heavier loads in block B. To increase muscle mass in muscles required for a high powerlifting total. This phase is high in volume and has auxiliary movements that are general but with the purpose of developing the muscle in accordance with each lift. 

Block 2 - Develop Strength and skill of execution of main lifts. This phase features a higher frequency of main lifts with both substantial and speed work. Auxiliary becomes only to offset muscle/movements which are underdeveloped but the big lifts. 

Block 3 - Express strength/skill developed by previous blocks. The goal here is to allow fatigue generated by previous blocks to dissipate while maintaining a high level of fitness. Volume is dropped entirely, and intensity is high. Supra maximal movement feature to develop confidence with heavier loads.
