MASTERS WEIGHTLIFTING 10 WEEKS

Tidal Weightlifting

Coach
Rachel Haslam

A 10 week cycle designed for masters athletes or athletes who cannot commit to frequent or lengthy sessions per week. It is designed to prepare for max snatch and clean and jerk testing in week 10.

The cycle can be repeated indefinitely.

The lower volume is designed to fit into a "MINIMUM EFFECTIVE VOLUME/DOSE" concept by which we can increase rest/recovery time whilst still being able to increase strength and numbers.

(4 days per week with 3rd day optional)

Better late than never

In all honesty, this program would suit anybody looking to train 3-4 times a week and just needs something structured to follow. If you hate Bulgarian-style volume, you might like this!

FAQs
Will I be able to do this program as a comeback after injury?
Yes! Because of the lower volume, frequency, and moderate percentages at the start, you'll be able to get back into training with much more comfort.
Can I do this program in conjunction with other sports?
Yes. Again, with the lower frequency, you can absolutely couple this program with a few days of other sports-specific training. However, don't expect as effective results or recovery.
Will only 3 days a week help me progress?
Yes! We're determined for you to give it a go and see that a lower volume style of training might be just as effective as training 6 days a week.
