Hello! I just signed up for a powerlifting meet last minute that is in 2 months. Is there anyway I could edit the 12 week strength template, so that it is condensed to 8 weeks? Or would I be better off running a different program considering the shorter time frame? Thanks!
You could either run weeks 5-12, or you could do weeks 1-5 followed by one of the free 3 week peaking templates. Either would work just fine.
Assuming that you’re not a novice, you could modify the 12-week strength to suit. I’d skip on weeks 1 and 6 (low stress weeks), and do weeks 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 and then weeks 10, 11 and 12 to peak (or use one of the free 3-week peaking templates, as Pward suggested).
