As you can see however, several things have to go right in order for that removal of fatigue to elicit a supercompensation effect and not simply return you back to baseline. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602aede66e2e5511b4c3bfea/b7544415-2a13-4c27-b927-0523237732a0/Screen+Shot+2023-12-01+at+11.47.53+AM.png Blog - Peaking in Modern Powerlifting: To Taper or Not To Taper - Make it stand out One of my athletes here, Mike Iascone, with his one week out training. As you can see, volume is still quite high, relative to proximity to the meet, and for him, intensity pretty high as well, he was able to hit an all time PR single on squat, bench, and deadlift this week. We even exceeded our load caps a bit for bench press as he was moving incredible and adapting to training volume 1-1 each week. Now, training leading into this week was much more tame, especially early on. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602aede66e2e5511b4c3bfea/3db51b16-110e-417f-aeaf-2e30bd716b15/Screen+Shot+2023-12-01+at+11.51.26+AM.png Blog - Peaking in Modern Powerlifting: To Taper or Not To Taper - Make it stand out Here is Mike’s training a week out. For him, I noticed big disrupter assistance movements like split squats, RDLs, etc… were low hanging fruits to remove. This is not the case for everyone. You will also see intensity dialed WAY back on squat and deadlift, however, bench press only a minor drop. If you are treating all 3 lifts the same, more than likely this is because you are under the guise that more rest = stronger for all 3 lifts, when, in reality, its more complex than that. Mike went on to match his best squat in prep, taper into 5kg more than his best bench (with 5kg more to spare) and a whopping 15kg more than his best deadlift. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602aede66e2e5511b4c3bfea/7100ad2f-40b3-4131-a540-d32138bc9a59/Screen+Shot+2023-12-01+at+12.03.57+PM.png Blog - Peaking in Modern Powerlifting: To Taper or Not To Taper - Make it stand out Dani LaMarca, featured a bit more intensity per session, coupled with lots of accessory work the final week leading into her most recent meet. We had to play safety on deadlift, as we unfortunately rolled on an SBD scheme that we thought would take, but did not have a positive effect. Much like Mike, week 1 training did not look this intense. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602aede66e2e5511b4c3bfea/86159a4a-1e30-4397-b158-af81d0c003d8/Screen+Shot+2023-12-01+at+12.04.14+PM.png Blog - Peaking in Modern Powerlifting: To Taper or Not To Taper - Make it stand out Dani’s week of the meet training is different from Mike’s in that, we kept a lot of the assistance stuff in, average intensity was much higher as well. 2 things are important to note, I don’t take “openers” for the sake of practice, it generally falls as a last heavy exposure around the 85-90% range, for the bench press at least, and the only reason we went up to that range on deadlift, was we missed out on heavier exposures so I banked on training the lift heavier, closer to the meet because a taper was only going to maladapt her. Dani went on to squat 363lbs for an all time PR, bench 192lbs for an all time PR, and deadlift 341lbs, up 16lbs from her final heavy pull, just 10 days prior. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602aede66e2e5511b4c3bfea/9e949e00-2176-4703-8e76-5a0cc0b595d4/Screen+Shot+2023-12-01+at+12.56.35+PM.png Blog - Peaking in Modern Powerlifting: To Taper or Not To Taper - Make it stand out Michael Beaupre’s penultimate block before USAPL Raw Nationals. For many, many months, we found that almost regardless of how weeks 1-4 went in a given cycle, his W5 would always overperform. So, we decided to go up to around 8 RPE on each lift in that penultimate block for singles, assess how they moved, and then looked to run the same progression leading into the meet itself, starting at somewhat of a higher base. As you can see, Michael’s deadlift was the variable we had to play around with, as we noticed it performed better, and subsequently his health leading into his other primary session was better, having it be further out. Notice the primary squat and bench session, is aligned with the day of competition, Thursday, we had 3 blocks before this adapting to this scheme. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602aede66e2e5511b4c3bfea/fe0362e6-c17e-44aa-825d-f4423a7a82b2/Screen+Shot+2023-12-01+at+12.57.24+PM.png Blog - Peaking in Modern Powerlifting: To Taper or Not To Taper - Make it stand out Our final week leading into the meet was modified only slightly, mainly to taper the deadlift more appropriately. However his secondary bench, secondary squat, and primer bench session, were identical. Michael was able to squat 474lbs at this meet, 308lbs with more in the tank, and deadlift 529lbs to secure a 1300lb total at 148lbs at the highest level of judging USAPL offers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602aede66e2e5511b4c3bfea/592e00cb-8333-4316-a1f3-cc8f644934ab/Screen+Shot+2023-12-01+at+1.08.54+PM.png Blog - Peaking in Modern Powerlifting: To Taper or Not To Taper - Make it stand out Brittany Boxer’s penultimate block leading into her most recent meet. With Brittany, for several blocks, we literally followed the same exact scheme going into the final week of each cycle, this being a 4 week block structure, and she would perform extremely well each time. She also mentioned with the other style of meet peaking, she would accumulate fatigue disproportionately to the work/strength she was obtaining, which is not uncommon. Much like my other female lighter weight lifters, her average intensity is fairly high the week of a test, almost across all sessions, and although maybe unconventional, the results were pretty substantial. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602aede66e2e5511b4c3bfea/d99d2ac5-4979-4d09-9a74-856d3f3245b0/Screen+Shot+2023-12-01+at+1.15.57+PM.png Blog - Peaking in Modern Powerlifting: To Taper or Not To Taper - Make it stand out This is the week OF her meet. Yes, we want up to a PR set of 4, the week of the meet, on squat, because we had that trend. We went heavy on secondary bench, because we had that trend. Now, with her deadlifts being on Monday and Thursday, how did we taper that? We knew the 2nd deadlift session was always the stronger one, and we wanted to be strong on Saturday, not Thursday, so all we did was move the volume from the earlier in the week session, up to the normal “heavy” slot, and treat that as our “taper”. So you could make the argument, we only tapered a single session. She went on to squat 308lbs, bench 143lbs, and pull 336lbs, all with anywhere between 2.5 and 7.5kg to spare, as well as all time PRs on all 3 lifts, total, and DOTS. Grace Poirier, Jordyn Rocca, and Tayla Knapp also followed something similar and all had the best meets of their careers. https://www.teamhoganpowerlifting.com/journal/feeling-good-vs-feeling-strong-mutually-exclusive-maybe-but-maybe-not monthly 0.5 2023-10-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602aede66e2e5511b4c3bfea/ee2926f2-340f-4ab0-beb6-c43f0a6f86fd/AEFEC578-E6ED-4C25-8D10-DC1CD7734F42.jpg Blog - Feeling Good vs. Feeling Strong: Mutually Exclusive? Maybe, but Maybe Not - Make it stand out Going into this meet, I had approximately one good feeling workout in the 10 week preparation period leading into it and was still able to walk away with a total that was reflective of my effort, with that said, 10 weeks was enough data for me to realize what I was doing was simply too much for me to recover from, regardless of what I was capable of in the past, this led to a breakthrough meet in the months that followed. https://www.teamhoganpowerlifting.com/journal/how-to-be-a-good-powerlifting-client-communication-accountability-ethics monthly 0.5 2023-09-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602aede66e2e5511b4c3bfea/9ece7829-9136-420a-a327-9a52c36cb989/Communication.jpeg Blog - How To Be A Good Powerlifting Client: Communication, Self Accountability, Ethics + The Other Side of the Coin - Make it stand out If you ever played team sports, you know that communication is an absolute factor that decides performance.

Although Morant took vocal accountability, this speaks to a greater issue in that teams/coaches can only control so much and as individual athletes we need to maintain some form of accountability towards the “everything else” portion of our training. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602aede66e2e5511b4c3bfea/5c612fa7-8b1a-4f13-ae14-745f8f97eec7/getty_533501064_2000135520009280186_398446.jpeg Blog - How To Be A Good Powerlifting Client: Communication, Self Accountability, Ethics + The Other Side of the Coin - Make it stand out For years, Lance Armstrong deceived the public and the greater cycling community with PED use and lying and dodging tests.

Ascending loading allowed me to feel out the first 2 weeks of where my limit was while learning the bars natural sway. After 3 weeks of ascending volume, I switched to a top set, backdown scheme. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602aede66e2e5511b4c3bfea/37f4618a-ff68-4a19-8a1b-bca9e048ecb4/Screen+Shot+2023-08-22+at+3.09.07+PM.png Blog - Ascending Sets vs. Top Sets vs. Straight Sets: When, Why, and How to Implement - Make it stand out A somewhat typical top set scheme with backoffs. One of the limitations this method has is “sand-bagged” back off rep work that is either too light for stimulus, or not treated with intent necessary to develop good habits for successive sessions. Although this athlete has a percentage of their top set for backoffs, this is not the only way to program in backoff volume. Though multi-factorial, this athlete squatted a 22lb all time PR with this method. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602aede66e2e5511b4c3bfea/48a02c68-ba77-4462-adfd-f4afb8cd6dbd/Screen+Shot+2023-08-22+at+5.42.02+PM.png Blog - Ascending Sets vs. Top Sets vs. Straight Sets: When, Why, and How to Implement - Make it stand out One of the most popular beginner strength programs is the Texas Method. It enacts the same weight across a set amount of working sets, with no variation up or down.

This is becoming the norm. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602aede66e2e5511b4c3bfea/38611c86-9a21-432e-a467-083e50829b5a/Sev.jpg Blog - Coaching the Teen and Junior Powerlifter: Long Term Athletic Development, Burnout, and Reaching the Ceiling Faster - Make it stand out Seventh Woods raised signs of being the next great prospect at the age of 14, although eventually finding his way, he never materialized into the player he was projected to be at a young age. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602aede66e2e5511b4c3bfea/003f5621-79ad-467c-bdb1-4c5949afbcc9/Luka.jpeg Blog - Coaching the Teen and Junior Powerlifter: Long Term Athletic Development, Burnout, and Reaching the Ceiling Faster - Make it stand out Luka Doncic, although only 24 years old, is coming up on year 9 of professional basketball. Starting at the age of 16 for Real Madrid, it makes sense why he was not like other rookies during his first year in the NBA. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602aede66e2e5511b4c3bfea/34ffb1d1-ce29-4ccc-a525-6a30d61bdb60/Strugg.jpeg Blog - Coaching the Teen and Junior Powerlifter: Long Term Athletic Development, Burnout, and Reaching the Ceiling Faster - Make it stand out Kerri Strug, who competed in two Olympics before the age of 20, is remembered for her heroic performance in 1996 in Atlanta, vaulting on a severe leg injury to help the Magnificent Seven team take Gold. Strugg retired shortly after the ‘96 Olympics and exited to a “normal” life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602aede66e2e5511b4c3bfea/243b3a3e-2815-4652-9be5-75bc1c359b25/IMG_5979+%281%29.jpeg Blog - Coaching the Teen and Junior Powerlifter: Long Term Athletic Development, Burnout, and Reaching the Ceiling Faster - Make it stand out In just one year, Logan Allaire has set an unofficial American record, put ~94lbs on his total, lifted in 4 meets (only peaked for 2 of them), and competed nationally. After meet #4, we extended his off-season. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602aede66e2e5511b4c3bfea/b2bbb61e-0b5b-450c-9de1-e468cd394396/Screen+Shot+2023-08-18+at+3.42.53+PM.png Blog - Coaching the Teen and Junior Powerlifter: Long Term Athletic Development, Burnout, and Reaching the Ceiling Faster - Make it stand out Although this is not the entire program, you will see there is a precedent on variation. His frequency is somewhat atypical of someone that age, however he was used to it coming to me. This was in prep for his first meet, you will notice the total set count is very low on most days, with no barbell lift exceeding 3 working sets, and there is lots of movement variation: pauses squats, close grip benching, RDLs, machine work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602aede66e2e5511b4c3bfea/cb80fc5f-c66e-474c-bdd8-314d68637e9f/Screen+Shot+2023-08-18+at+3.43.42+PM.png Blog - Coaching the Teen and Junior Powerlifter: Long Term Athletic Development, Burnout, and Reaching the Ceiling Faster - Make it stand out Although we are further along, we actually trimmed off a training day, introduced load caps, but still are featuring a very low total weekly set count. We also are not biasing a ton of volume to lower body pressing movements as we identified the fatigue debt associated. This plan came about after dealing with hip injuries in his nationals prep and we have been fortunate enough to PR virtually every block since then, with this approach. Prepping for meet #5. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602aede66e2e5511b4c3bfea/dd37458e-21bf-4cdd-8e51-b4b537d75a30/IMG-5405.jpg Blog - Coaching the Teen and Junior Powerlifter: Long Term Athletic Development, Burnout, and Reaching the Ceiling Faster - Make it stand out Haley-Jane Tuplin and Grace Poirier competed in their first meets as teenage lifters earlier this summer. https://www.teamhoganpowerlifting.com/journal/powerlifting-pressure-and-the-alter-ego-effect monthly 0.5 2023-08-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602aede66e2e5511b4c3bfea/a91c7809-8059-4e40-bcb5-236070370771/Mamba.jpg Blog - Powerlifting, Pressure, and the Alter Ego Effect - Make it stand out Many athletes adopt an alter ego in order to perform, the most recognized most likely being Kobe Bryant’s Black Mamba persona. By all accounts Kobe was reserved and very pleasant in everyday life, but in sanctioned basketball games, he became ferocious, cantankerous, and boisterous. This is where he needed to go in order to perform. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602aede66e2e5511b4c3bfea/5fcaa2d0-886b-45b1-b90d-cd8ce11e0d22/Ankiel.jpg Blog - Powerlifting, Pressure, and the Alter Ego Effect - Make it stand out Rick Ankiel’s career as pitcher was destroyed as a result of mind-related limitations colloquially known as “the yips”. Ankiel, a lifelong pitcher, all of a sudden could not throw a strike consistently and would often times violently miss the strikezone 15-25 feet in each direction. He reported this feeling as hopeless and it forced him to change positions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602aede66e2e5511b4c3bfea/08f9237d-6136-4d1e-9908-139926bc0fd1/Knight.jpeg Blog - Powerlifting, Pressure, and the Alter Ego Effect - Make it stand out Bobby Knight, former head coach of men’s college basketball teams such as Indiana University and Texas Tech, adhered to a negative reinforcement model that created fear and perfection in his teams. Although Knight won 3 national titles in 29 seasons at IU, he created controversy for physically assaulting his players, belittling them, and being generally unpleasant. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602aede66e2e5511b4c3bfea/7cd3af01-fa50-419b-aa99-86acc262747d/Wilder.jpg Blog - Powerlifting, Pressure, and the Alter Ego Effect - Make it stand out Deontay Wilder, and many boxers for that matter, adapt an alter ego in order to tap in to a side of their brain that is less forgiving, less empathetic. For Wilder, who is a mild-mannered and polite person outside the ring, when he enters the ring to a fight, he has described it as similar to a caged animal being freed. Wilders then becomes the, “Bronze Bomber”, a fighter that boasts a record of 43-2-1 with 42 wins coming from knockout. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602aede66e2e5511b4c3bfea/0a89f14d-0f4b-4312-8f95-3605066549a9/Fraser.jpeg Blog - Powerlifting, Pressure, and the Alter Ego Effect - Make it stand out Mat Fraser, who was 2nd in 2014, 2015, and placed 1st in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 in the CrossFit Games, was borderline maniacal when it came to making sure all variables in his control, were accounted for. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602aede66e2e5511b4c3bfea/57865481-dcd8-4464-a511-849da4db1e84/Syd.jpeg Blog - Powerlifting, Pressure, and the Alter Ego Effect - Make it stand out Sydney McLaughin-Levrone, an ace 400m hurdler and recent open 400m runner, has overperformed at virtually all events she has participated in over the last 3 years. Although a sentiment some athletes share, she believes pressure is an illusion and only what we make of it. https://www.teamhoganpowerlifting.com/journal/peaking-strategies-concepts-and-practical-examples monthly 0.5 2023-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602aede66e2e5511b4c3bfea/637ff850-11a3-4a7b-b29b-5401e6be89d9/image0+%282%29.jpeg Blog - Peaking Strategies: Concepts and Practical Examples - Make it stand out Brittany Boxer is a 60kg lifter who, on paper, might seem like she would benefit from a shorter meso-cycle, however her last meet we prepped for 7 weeks, with the first week being an intro cycle and this yielded all time PRs on squat, bench, deadlift, and total and +17 points to DOTS. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602aede66e2e5511b4c3bfea/2b05c812-f29d-4003-a5ec-f49ff15c62e2/IMG_5979.jpeg Blog - Peaking Strategies: Concepts and Practical Examples - Make it stand out Logan Allaire is a 90kg lifter in the T2 division, for his first High School Nationals prep, we used a 5 week prep, one that included: changing secondary squat variations 3 weeks in, a “tune-up” meet on week 3, and then a change to an SBD day from week 3 on. He went on to hit all time PRs in the squat, meet PR bench (tied all time PR), deadlift, and total while placing 11th in the country. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602aede66e2e5511b4c3bfea/6acf0f99-654d-4f81-bebf-23c27d05d5b4/X-KFP-5609+%281%29.JPEG Blog - Peaking Strategies: Concepts and Practical Examples - Make it stand out Andrew Graves, 82.5kg, needed a revamp in his peaking approach and although the block structure was similar, the layout and technical adjustments led to maladaptation in one try, and a breakthrough in the other. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602aede66e2e5511b4c3bfea/f3f8d4fc-089d-424c-86d9-5e6733fdcb9b/IMG_5580.jpg Blog - Peaking Strategies: Concepts and Practical Examples - Make it stand out We learned the summer before that Evan Larsen, 110kg, cannot feature heavy singles or doubles, for too long leading into a peak cycle. So for his most recent meet, we did top sets of 3-4 the block before, and only added singles the last block leading into the meet and he was able to hit his first PR total in 5 years and improve his DOTS while moving up a full weight class. https://www.teamhoganpowerlifting.com/journal/usapl-maine-preview-storylines-to-follow-in-2023 monthly 0.5 2023-02-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602aede66e2e5511b4c3bfea/7dd5e858-48ac-414a-a71e-ef8509f88d2f/IMG-0498.jpeg Blog - USAPL Maine Preview: 2023 - Make it stand out Andrew Graves, 82.5kg (USAPL ME State Chair) recently competed in Philadelphia, PA putting up a 451 DOTS. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602aede66e2e5511b4c3bfea/3b9d5e2c-f3eb-4ffc-aa3a-2d3467c0c36d/IMG-4288.jpg Blog - USAPL Maine Preview: 2023 - Make it stand out Ely Yang, 90kg, placed 2nd overall in only his second career meet and has been on a warpath since this competition with his training. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602aede66e2e5511b4c3bfea/c1a48b86-c829-4206-a7b0-b2e4e18d4bca/IMG-4290.jpg Blog - USAPL Maine Preview: 2023 - Make it stand out Jon Lavoie, 82.5kg, has been Mr. Pine Tree USAPL every year sans one, since 2017, will he continue dominance in the year of 2023? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602aede66e2e5511b4c3bfea/5fce0823-4bac-4845-8704-3b04bacab3f4/IMG_4283+%281%29.jpg Blog - USAPL Maine Preview: 2023 - Make it stand out The 2023 Maine State Championships features the most loaded roster USAPL ME has ever seen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602aede66e2e5511b4c3bfea/0ef368c2-8e8c-406f-b143-3ac639e758d3/DSC07815.jpg Blog - USAPL Maine Preview: 2023 - Make it stand out Logan Allaire, 90kg, had one of the most explosive debuts in recent memory.
