This 13-week program is perfect for athletes in their off-season who need to come back bigger and stronger! It's best for Advanced lifters, and has been designed specifically to help you drive growth and strength development.

Rotating Powerbuilding uses programmed percentage work for the first lift of each day followed by RPE-based accessory work to account for athlete readiness on any given day.

This program is the distillation of my philosophy that has been honed over nearly two decades of coaching THOUSANDS of collegiate athletes. It uses a rotation of both exercises and intensities to allow you to continuously push hard while avoiding staleness and culminates in a PR week for you to set new 1RM's!

FAQs
Is This Program too Advanced for Me?
This program is Advanced in the sense that athletes will need to have a good handle on their recovery habits, as well as proficiency in a select number of basic strength movements. Most athletes who have been consistently training for a year or two should have the requisite technique fundamentals.
What's the Big Deal with Rotating Exercises?
While consistency is key in technique development, at a certain point athletes need a new or "novel" stimulus to continue to drive progress. This program regularly rotates exercises to avoid staleness, enabling better long-term progress.
Who is Rotating Powerbuilding for?
Rotating Powerbuilding is for anyone seeking to increase muscle size and develop strength. Whether you're a Powerlifter, Thrower, Wrestler, Football player or an off-season Crossfitter, if you need to be bigger and stronger, this program is for you! Just make sure to eat and recover hard!
