Overview

Stop guessing. Start dominating. Periodization and Advanced Programming for Powerlifting is the definitive manual for lifters and coaches who demand more than random sets and rep schemes. Written for intermediate to elite athletes, this book deconstructs the science of long-term strength development and delivers practical frameworks for programming that actually work on the platform. Inside, you'll explore the evolution of periodization models from linear progression to block, undulating, and concurrent systems. Learn when to use each model, how to sequence training phases, and why intelligent planning matters more than intensity alone. Understand the nuanced roles of intensity, volume, frequency, and specificity-and how to manipulate them with purpose. You'll uncover how to structure hypertrophy, strength, and peaking phases that align with real-world recovery capacity and competition timelines. Discover how to program around setbacks, integrate RPE and RIR without abandoning structure, and manage athlete fatigue with real diagnostics-not guesswork. This book also takes a deep dive into overlooked essentials: deload strategies, off-season construction, nutrition for periodized training, and psychological periodization. Plus, you'll gain practical insight from real case studies featuring competitive lifters and the decisions that made or broke their progress. Whether you're a competitive lifter, a coach managing multiple athletes, or just tired of stalling on the big three lifts, this book gives you the tools to train with clarity, adapt with precision, and perform when it counts. Train smart. Progress deliberately. Peak on time.
