16-Week Powerlifting Program Details:
This is the exact Powerlifting Program the author Ryan J. Mathias and his team of Strength Warriors (men, women and teen powerlifters) have used for years to prepare for every Powerlifting Meet! It has worked really well and given them a lot of success. So we know it will do the same for you!
This is a 4-day per week, 16-Week Full Power Powerlifting Program that is designed to increasing your Squat, Bench Press and Deadlift strength all at once. In it, I will guide you through the exact work you need to do in order to reach your new Max Strength in all 3 lifts!
With this program, there is no crazy new powerlifting technique being tested out. We only use what actually works and has worked successfully for many years. That means smart programming with constant regulated progression, using only the most effective strength training exercises.
Each Main Lift (Squat, Bench Press, Deadlift) will be trained twice weekly, with Squats and Deadlifts rotating focus. Plus, all of your sets, reps, and accessory exercises are already programmed for you based on your current 1 Rep Maxes (with room for adjustment as needed).
This Powerlifting Program has 3 Phases:
-
Volume Phase (4-weeks)
-
Strength Phase (8-weeks)
-
Max Phase (4-weeks)
If needed, you can trim off the Volume Phase, and even a few weeks of the Strength Phase, to accommodate specific Powerlifting Meet dates. But the more of the program that you do, the better your results.
Also, this program is meant to be used repeatedly, as you continuously improve your lifts over and over again. After you finish one 16-week cycle, simply take a week to recover, if needed, then begin again!
Get yours today and get ready to reach your full strength potential!
FULL POWER Powerlifting Program FAQ’s
Q: Is this book for beginners?
A: Yes! This Powerlifting Program is based on your current strength. So, whether you are a total beginner or have been lifting for years, the program works so that anyone can do it.
However, we suggest you get our Squat, Bench Press and Deadlift Guides too, so you can make sure your technique is on point. That will greatly increase your strength potential for this program.
Q: What about advanced lifters?
A: Of course! We've been sent numerous emails from high-level and experienced lifters that made incredible gains, even after all these years.
The fact is, there's always more to learn, no matter how long you've been in the game!
Q: Is this book for women too?
A: YES! We know of several women who have tried this Powerlifting Program and had great success; both in strength and appearance! Remember, you are only limited by your efforts. It may take a little bit longer for women to build strength, but if you put in the work, you can go as far as you want.
Q: I'm 40+ years old. Can I do this Powerlifting Program?
A: ABSOLUTELY! It's never too late to start getting stronger! Plus, you can start at any level and progress at your own pace. The only thing that will hold you back, is you!
We've actually had men in their 40's and 50's do this program with great success! They feel stronger than ever and actually learned some new things too!
Plus, this program is great for naturally boosting testosterone production!
Q: How much of an increase can I expect in 16-Weeks?
A: Most people have told us of 25-90 lb increases for each lift within the 16-week Program.
- Beginners can expect 10%+ increase for each lift.
- Experienced lifters can expect ~5-10% increase for each lift.
Q: What do I do after the 16-Week Powerlifting Program?
A: Start again (or try another awesome Mathias Method Program)! This program is set up to where you can continuously do it over-and-over again without risking overloading yourself with a ton of heavy weights. This is because we start with a few weeks of volume training to help you increase your work capacity. Then gradually work into more intense work.
However, most people like to take 1-4 weeks between program cycles to work on other things, before getting back to the real work. But it's up to you.
Q: Will this help me build muscle too?
A: YES! Strength is the base for building muscle. And on top of that, this program has a lot of volume to help you put on size (if desired). Plus, we only use the most effective muscle and strength building exercises for all areas of the program! So, this Powerlifting Program has everything you need to build muscle—if that is your goal.
Q: Do I need to take any supplements for this program?
A: Nope! You don't need to take any supplements or other substances to make this program effective. Just make sure you get enough good sleep and recover well and you're set. We talk more about this in the book.
Q: What equipment do I need for this Powerlifting Program?
A: You don't need any fancy equipment to do this program. Just your basics; squat rack, bench press, barbell, plates and dumbbells. It would be best if you had a leg press and incline bench too, but it's not necessary. Every exercise has a replacement that you can do with a barbell and plates, if needed.
Q: What if I don't know how to do one of the exercises?
A: Every exercise listed has dedicated "How-To" page linked to our other site (MathiasMethod.com) to explain in full-detail how to do them correctly. As well as the main muscles being worked and purpose.
Q: How long do the workouts take?
A: Usually 1-2 hours, depending on how long your breaks are between sets.
Q: What do the workouts entail?
1) Warm-Up - Dynamic Mobility Warm-Up and a few Bodyweight Exercises.
2) Technique Work - 3 quick sets to make sure the movement is feeling good and your form is on point.
