Built Strong 1.0 – Compound maxreps

Built Strong 1.0 – Complex Max Reps is a strength program focused on powerlifting, while also placing strong emphasis on general strength. Each week you perform max-rep sets in the squat, bench press, deadlift, and overhead press. In addition to these lifts, the program includes other compound exercises targeting multiple muscle groups, as well as movements for smaller, stabilizing muscles around the shoulders and hips.

The program is suited for lifters who enjoy pushing themselves and are not afraid of hard work. It is important, however, that you maintain high quality and precision in your technique.

The training cycle itself is four weeks long. After that you follow either a deload week or a max-out week. Ideally, the deload week is followed by the max-out week.
