Tired of hitting minuscule PR's every meet? Feeling run down going into competition and struggling to find what works for you? My 12-Week Peaking Cycle is GUARANTEED to give you the total you're looking for in your next competition. You will begin your first five weeks with a hypertrophy-based style block and then transition into a power-building block that will drastically increase your strength and power output. Each compound lift will have percentages for every session, so no more guessing with RPE based training. You will also be given a warm-up and cool-down for every session to ensure you are primed for heavy lifting. With this 12-week program, you will never have to wonder your training will look like going into a meet.
