Powerbuilding 1

Training Q&A [Moderated]

Hello team,

I am comming to the end of the begginer program (currently week 12.3, waiting for second lift to stall) and i have purchased the powerbuilding program to do next. As i was reading ahead I noticed that the back off sets are written - repeat @8 until it becomes @9 (cap at 3 sets). Does the cap include the original set @8 meaning cap at 3 sets total or is it capped at 3 additional sets meaning a possible total of 4 sets @8?

Also, after running this program, how do I determine if I am ready to move up to PB2, which is a 4 day program, or if I am better off sticking to 3 day programs.

Thanks for the time!

Faera,

That denotes the exercise is capped at a total of 4 sets.

I don’t think there is a way to accurately predict if you’re “ready” for a 4 day program, but my preference would be to start with a 3-day program then graduate from there to a 4-day program.

Thanks,

I am still planning on running PB1 next, I was just curious when it came to what to do once that is done. I like the idea of sticking to powerbuilding as wont be able to do my first meet anytime soon with the way things are going. Anyways thanks for taking the time!
