First Powerlifting Meet – Fitting 16 Week Program into 11.5 Weeks

Training Q&A [Moderated]
1

Hi BBM,

I’m currently running the Low Fatigue Gen 2 program 4x/week and I’m on Week 2, Day 3.

I have my first powerlifting meet on 11 October, which is about 11.5 weeks away. Since the program is designed to run for 16 weeks, I won’t be able to complete the full cycle before the comp.

How would you recommend adjusting the program? Would you suggest I skip or shorten certain weeks to fit the timeline or make any other mods to ensure I am prepared on meet day? For reference, I have recently cut down to 83kg, 173cm and 81cm waist and plan to maintain this weight till comp day. I’d really appreciate any advice. Thanks legends!

I’d pull the last two weeks (weeks 5 and 6) out of blocks 1 and 2. Good luck at the meet!

Thanks Jordan, last one for you, on week 13, it calls for 70%e1rm for 4x3. Is this just based of my e1rm from the previous week?

Yes! That’s exactly right.
