Power lifting 1

This program is for lifters who is new to powerlifting, but already has a bit of lifting experience. The focus for the first four weeks is building muscle and perfecting form. The second four-week phase is all about increasing the load on the bar, with a max out day at the end of the program to measure your progress! This program includes low bar and high bar squats, assuming the lifter would use low bar
squat for their maximal attempts. If you are primarily a high bar squatter, feel free to replace the low bar squats with high bar squats, and the high bar squats with front squats. You will decide the intensity or load for each exercise each day based on your RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion). It is essentially a scale from one to ten with ten being the absolute most weight you could lift for the prescribed reps, and one being a very light weight for the given rep scheme. For example, if the
exercise is Back Squat for a set of 5 reps at RPE 7, this means you will perform 5 back squats with a weight that is at a difficulty level of 7/10 for you.
Be sure to get a warmup set or two before hitting the large compound lifts (squats, bench, deadlift, lunges, etc), but don't count those sets toward your work out. Feel free to message your coach with any questions you may have, and remember, good form should be the norm. Your program comes with demo videos of each exercise and detailed instructions. Once you have purchased your workout plan you will receive a welcome email from Scotts Valley Gym with instructions on how to download and set up your new Savage Mind App. Please allow 24 hours to receive your email and download within 7 days or the link will expire.

Happy Lifting!
