This phase is designed to be the last four weeks before a short three week taper into a meet.
There are pyramids on the big three with hypertrophy focused auxiliary exercises.
This program can be a stand alone program as a switch up from a bodybuilding program or as a heavy phase during an off season powerlifting program.
