Stuck on your squat, bench, or deadlift? This 12-week strength program is built to help you break through plateaus and hit new PRs—fast.
Designed for serious athletes with a solid training foundation, this plan uses structured phases of controlled effort, strategic volume, and progressive overload to unlock your true strength potential. You'll build maximal force, improve movement efficiency, and learn to perform under fatigue.
The goal? A 10%+ increase in your 1RMs across the big three lifts—squat, deadlift, and bench press.
Delivered through the TrainHeroic app with clear, weekly programming and tracking tools, all you need to do is show up and put in the work.
Plateaus aren't permanent. This 12-week strength plan is your next level.
