Lifters we recommend this template for:
This template is great at peaking lifters for a meet that may not tolerate long exposures to high-intensity loads. This typically is true for masters lifters and lifters who may not have as much experience with what works for them.
Template Overview:
The competition exercises start with a benchmarking top set that varies from a x5 @8 to a x1 @8 across the length of the program. Sub-maximal % based volume work is then completed after the benchmark set has determined the based strength levels for the session. The competition lifts are trained in the same session to increase the specificity of the meet preparations. Training for the competition lifts has a bit of a block periodization-influenced approach that culminates with a traditional taper leading into the meet.
Accessory exercises are special exercises that have a similar ROM as the competition exercises. These exercises are used to help address the weak ROM of the competition exercises. The loading protocols are primarily ramp-up sets caped at an 8 RPE. In the beginning weeks, these are performed with higher reps at 6-8 per set and decrease towards 3-4 reps per set towards the later weeks of the program.
Supplemental exercises are exercises that aim to target weak muscle groups that have a significantly different ROM than the competition exercise. Loading protocols for these exercises are all based on a ramp-up method towards an 8 or 9 RPE with 10 reps per set. They are used in these slots to help with hypertrophy benefits as well as the risk reduction of intensity associated with these types of exercises. The combination of exercises and loading brings about a unique blend between block periodization and DUP that is also impacted by the various RTS Auto Regulation loading protocols.
There are a few deload weeks included in the training to ensure lifter health, durability, and function. Those weeks are labeled accordingly so you know which weeks they are. They are still challenging work that keeps you well trained, however, the work is more manageable in terms of recovery.
