Chelsea's Leg Saver


Formats: Web, Text, Excel,  |   $29

Duration: 9 Weeks
Days/Week: 5 (Web/Spreadsheet)

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

Focus: Low squat frequency; more frequent deloads; overhead strength & stability; Olympic lift technique

This is a cycle intended for athletes who can't manage frequent or intense squatting; it uses relatively low-intensity squats twice weekly. It also loads for only 2 weeks before unloading, so it's good for athletes who can't manage longer burdening periods.

Notes: Some exercises use feel to determine weights; avoid grinding reps or failure

What People Say

"Excellent program for those dealing with any lower body issues while still maintaining leg strength and increases numbers little by little. I was also recovering from a shoulder issue going in to this program and I hit a comfortable 10kg push press 3RM within a week and a half!"
- John E.
