Modern Training for the Old-School Power Look

How is it structured?

It utilises a relatively short training cycle (8 weeks) based on the principles of block periodization. It is comprised of three blocks:

 

Accumulation (3 weeks): to build the muscle and technical efficiency that will allow you to be strong

Intensification (3 weeks): to develop your strength as much as possible

Peaking (2 weeks): to put you in the best physiological and neurological state to showcase your strength

Phase 1 &2

Monday – Push workout

Wednesday – Pull workout 1 (high pull emphasis)

Friday – Legs workout

Saturday – Pull workout 2 (rowing emphasis)

Phase 3

split remains same but goal is to be recovered to showcase strength

Peak on Friday (muscle snatch and squat) and Sunday (deadlift and military press)
