Powerlifter 1 is a 12-week novice strength program designed to develop your squat, bench press and deadlift through three structured training phases.
You will train three times per week, progressing from manageable sets of five to heavier triples, doubles and controlled singles. Light, medium and heavy sessions are gradually introduced to manage fatigue while your working weights increase.
Clear exercise demonstrations, technique instructions and progression rules guide every session, making this ideal for novice lifters ready to move beyond unstructured training and build measurable barbell strength.
