Complex Freakout
9 weeks | $29 | Web, Text, Excel
This is a 9-week cycle with 3 3-week mesocycles with 2 loading weeks and 1 unloading week each. It relies primarily on complexes in both the competition lifts and accessory lifts. Intensities are mostly determined by feel rather than prescription, so athletes have a lot of control over how difficult the program is and have a lot of flexibility.
The final mesocycle will peak for competition or snatch and clean & jerk testing. The first 2 mesocycles (6 weeks) can be used without the final mesocycle as a preparatory phase for another more competition lift emphasis cycle as well.
"Snatch went from 230 to 245, Clean and Jerk from 275 to 285, front squat from 305 to 325, and back squat from 365 to 385." - Rick M.
Volume: Moderate
