Basic Rep Cycle


Formats: Web, Text, Excel,  |   $20

Duration: 6 Weeks
Days/Week: 5 (Web/Spreadsheet)

Volume: Moderate
Intensity: Moderate
Includes Complete Accessory Work? No
Peak for Comp / Snatch & CJ Testing? Yes

Focus: Beginning to intermediate lifters; Emphasize strength and weightlifting temporarily while not losing a lot of conditioning

This is a basic cycle that uses a lot of triples and doubles in the classic lifts along with plenty of squatting and pulling strength work.

Notes:
  • Some days have conditioning work - this is optional and only for those who want to maintain conditioning for activities/sports other than weightlifting during the cycle
  • If you're a newer lifter, your 1RMs are likely not accurate, and you may have to adjust the prescribed weights up if they feel too easy
