Hi everyone,
So I’ve been following Strength 1 2.0 for powerlifting, eating ~ 100-105 g of protein a day and 1200ish calories a day (cutting from 64 kg back down to 59 kg for comp), and getting enough sleep and making time for the accessories.
It has been going unspeakably well. I have adjusted my bench technique and squat technique under the guidance of a local powerlifting coach, and the shoulder pain that was holding me back with both movements is essentially gone, and I’m ready to ramp back up to my old comp numbers and beyond, because my old total was 347.5 and I have to hit 385 by August (we’ll see, strength isn’t a straight line after all).
What I was wondering is, considering I’m on my last two weeks of Strength I Powerlifting, and won’t get all 12 weeks in of the program again, should I finish this cycle out and then run it again for maybe 8-9 weeks and then hop to the 3-week peaking template?
Or are the last 4 weeks of this program built for peaking, and I should follow it as is and skip 1 or 2 weeks in between? I was asking because I just noticed that the last two weeks have no accessories in them, and idk if I should work out this week and next week without accessories if the meet is August 13th.
Thanks in advance.
