Powerbuilding Repeat - Does one repeat first weeks?

Training Q&A [Moderated]
1

Hi all,

First of all it’s a pleasure to be now present in this forum (probably the only BBM communication device I still wasn’t using) and I want to ask a quick question regarding Powerbuilding I.

I’ve been doing this program for the last 8 weeks and results have been excellent as all my lifts have improved - some quite dramatically. Because I’m approaching its end and I’m still hitting e1RM maxxes and because I can easily work a schedule that ensures adherence, I was thinking of repeating it, at least once, before having to up the volume.

However, the first week in the plan is relatively low volume - live a pivot week. Should I skip it and go straight into WK2 ?

Another question is a clarification on Day 2, Exercise 3 on the first stage of the program: The “Dumbell Press or Press” after an Incline BP - is it a Shoulder or Chest Press, or does it matter?

Many thanks for the fantastic resources you put out. Slowly but surely, your work is making a change :slight_smile:

Joao,

Thanks for the post. I think you should repeat the template with the 1st low stress week in place, as it’ll be good to take a lighter week in preparation for another run through the program :slight_smile:
