I train athletes, primarily. Mostly runners, cyclists, weightlifters. From High School age to post-collegiate pros to Masters. This book presents the best methodology I’ve seen for dependably and appropriately loading an athlete for squats, presses and deadlifts, whether they be an endurance, power or strength athlete, young or old. The beauty of the preparatory work of the program is that you will end up with a robust, evidence-based blueprint for where to start your athlete, how to manage her during the program and how to accurately predict where she is likely to finish up. Additionally, it is very scalable and easily modified for a sports or recreational application. My Olympic style weightlifters have been seeing 10% increases in their squat PRs on this program. Our 1RM test was on week 8 of our 8-week, high volume prep phase, so it worked out perfectly schedule-wise. Thanks to Reload from Pavel and Fabio, we are going into our 4-week comp phase with significantly better legs than where we started 8 weeks ago.
