Athletics

Athletics — Prepare

An 8-week foundational phase for speed-power athletes — general capacity, movement quality, acceleration, strength foundation, extensive tempo, and jumping fundamentals. Three required days plus optional Friday.

Typical duration8 weeks
Sessions / week3 required + optional 4th
Athletics

Athletics — Build

A 12-week development phase emphasizing strength, power, sprint quality, and event practice with progressive working-load prescriptions. Strength uses a separate Training Max.

Typical duration12 weeks
Sessions / week3 required + optional 4th
Athletics

Athletics — Sharpen

A 12-week speed, power, and event-specific phase — acceleration, maximum velocity, speed endurance, event practice, and low-volume strength maintenance toward a performance period.

Typical duration12 weeks
Sessions / week3 required + optional 4th
Pull-Up 50

Pull-Up 50

A 40-week bodyweight pull-up progression with eight ability-based entry points. Enter your current clean max, start at the level that matches it, and follow one clear path toward 50 consecutive pull-ups.

Typical duration40 weeks
Sessions / week3–4 days / week
MindLevr Programs

Rep Builder 10

A ten-week adaptive bodyweight program across five movement tracks — pull-ups, push-ups, dips, bodyweight squats, and core reps. Choose one or more tracks, set your starting ability and goals, and MindLevr™ adjusts the progression from your completed workouts.

Typical duration10 weeks
Sessions / week2–6 days / week
Smolov

Classic Full Smolov

The complete Russian squat specialization cycle. Four structured phases — accumulation, switching, intensification, and peaking — driven entirely from your one-rep max.

Typical duration13 weeks
Sessions / week4 days / week
Smolov

Smolov Peak Adaptation

A focused adaptation of the intensification and peaking phases that tapers earlier than the classic full Smolov, for athletes who need to reach a competition max on an accelerated timeline.

Typical duration13 weeks
Sessions / week4 days / week
Smolov

Smolov Jr.

The higher-frequency short cycle, equally effective for bench press and squat. Four sessions a week with structured progression toward a new max.

Typical duration3–4 weeks
Sessions / week4 days / week
Smolov

Smolov Jr. Bodyweight

A bodyweight adaptation of the Smolov Jr. structure — high-frequency, progressive sessions of bodyweight squats, push-ups, pull-ups, and core, organized into a short calculated cycle.

Typical duration3–4 weeks
Sessions / week3–4 days / week
Training Max

Training Max Foundation

A three-day, full-body Training Max Series program combining Training Max progression, two primary lifts per session, mandatory First Set Last work, and balanced assistance.

Typical durationOngoing cycles
Sessions / week3 days / week
Training Max

Training Max Four-Day

The traditional four-day Training Max Series structure uses one primary lift per session, cyclical Training Max progression, plus sets, optional First Set Last work, and an optional deload.

Typical durationOngoing cycles
Sessions / week4 days / week
Training Max

Training Max Volume

A demanding five-day progression combining Training Max percentages, high-volume primary and secondary lifts, and AMRAP-guided weekly increases.

Typical durationOngoing
Sessions / week5 days / week
SBD

SBD Foundation

Build familiarity with frequent, submaximal squat, bench press, and deadlift training. Foundation uses moderate volume and moderate intensity as the first block in the four-part SBD Series.

Typical duration4 weeks
Sessions / week3 days / week
SBD

SBD Volume

Increase total training work while keeping most work submaximal. Volume is the accumulation block of the SBD Series and substantially increases workload across the competition lifts and their variations.

Typical duration4 weeks
Sessions / week3 days / week
SBD

SBD Strength

Shift from accumulation toward heavier strength work. Strength reduces volume from the preceding Volume block while increasing exposure to higher percentages in preparation for the Peak block.

Typical duration4 weeks
Sessions / week3 days / week
SBD

SBD Peak

Peak for a powerlifting competition or a planned 1RM test. The block is anchored to your target date and preserves the fixed taper and training structure derived from the classic #32 methodology.

Typical duration4 weeks
Sessions / weekVariable
MindLevr Programs

Return to Training

A lifting-focused plan for returning to consistent training. Begin with upper body and core, reintroduce lower-body work gradually, and let structured feedback guide the sessions that follow.

Typical duration3 weeks
Sessions / week3–4 days / week
Classic Programs

Russian Squat Routine

A classic six-week, percentage-based peaking program that develops volume before progressing toward heavier work and a final one-rep-max test. It fills the gap between Smolov Jr. and the full 13-week cycles for experienced lifters who want a focused three-day-per-week path to a peak.

Typical duration6 weeks
Sessions / week3 days / week
Classic Programs

Texas Method

An ongoing three-day intermediate program that organizes training into Volume, Recovery, and Intensity days for weekly strength progression.

Typical durationOngoing
Sessions / week3 days / week
Classic Programs

Russian Squat Routine

A classic six-week, percentage-based peaking program that develops volume before progressing toward heavier work and a final one-rep-max test. It fills the gap between Smolov Jr. and the full 13-week cycles for experienced lifters who want a focused three-day-per-week path to a peak.

Experienced lifters wanting a three-day, six-week peak to a new max.

How the training works

The six-week structure builds volume before moving toward heavier work and a final one-rep-max test. Percentage-based prescriptions give the block a defined progression and endpoint.

Progression & program fit

Within the specialization options, it offers a middle-length commitment: longer than Smolov Jr., shorter than the full 13-week Smolov cycle, and scheduled around three sessions per week. It is a focused peaking block for experienced lifters rather than an ongoing full-body routine.
