Welcome to The PowerBuild Program 2.0! This is an intermediate/advanced program that is designed to maximise muscle and strength gains. Each phase will bring you unprecedented levels of intensity and volume, challenging your body to perform across a variety of rep schemes and exercises to take your body to the next level of muscularity and strength.

Phase 1: Weeks 1-4: Supersets

Phase 2: Weeks 5-8: Wave Loading


In the first phase (first 4 weeks), the exercises are performed as a superset. The heavier loads stimulate the high threshold motor units, and the lighter work is aimed at accentuating the training response by generating as much fatigue as possible, as safely as possible. This routine allows you to maintain a very high neural stimulus and trains the skill of lifting heavy weights, whilst still providing a potent stimulus for muscle building.

In the second phase (weeks 5-8) we will start the wave workouts; wave loading is a technique used to improve the efficiency of your nervous system at recruiting more muscle fibers, by introducing the body to progressively heavier resistance in a wave pattern.

While it's typically used for strength purposes, it can also be adjusted to maximise muscle building stimulation. This program is perfect for building both total body strength and muscle mass.
