12-Week Powerbuilding

At Pheasyque Lab, we love the powerbuilding programming ideology, but we’re firm believers in providing a much more thorough approach for progressing over time.

Powerbuilding is the combination of programming methodologies that are bridged together from both the powerlifting and bodybuilding worlds. A powerbuilding program will utilize strategic methods to progress strength in the compound movements regularly competed in powerlifting (squat, bench press, and deadlift), and include hypertrophy-focused methodologies to improve body composition.

We define powerbuilding as the summation of principles taken from programming styles from both strength sports and blending them together. The idea that powerbuilding programs are just templates with the powerlifts and additional accessory exercises is short-sided and sells this ideology short.

This 12-Week Powerbuilding Program is the perfect blend of Strength and Hypertrophy, focused on a week by week progression of the compound lifts & accessories, with the right amount of Volume, Intensity and Frequency.

If you Love Heavy Barbell Training, this one is for you.
