A daily undulating periodization program from Brendan Tietz for powerlifters. As this is a submaximal powerlifting program, this is best suited for off season work, not peaking for a meet.

Quick program overview:

  • 12 week program
  • Composed of 3 blocks, each 4 weeks long
  • 5 training days per week
  • Two versions: conventional deadlift and sumo deadlift
    • This is important for determining what your alternate deadlift stance is

For more details, please see Brendan’s video overview of the program at the bottom of this post.
