#20 - A Simple Approach to Advanced Strength Programming

Andy and Dan return to programming, today tackling the big picture behind advanced programming. Essentially, advanced programming picks up when linear progress has ended -- the novice sets daily, then biweekly intensity PR's (the weight on the bar), the intermediate sets weekly PR's. The advanced lifter hopefully still sets PR's on a regular basis, albeit on a longer timeline, but even then intensity PR's are not a sure thing every training cycle. As Andy points out, PR's for the advanced lifter come in many forms -- volume PR's, PR's for new rep ranges, intensity and volume PR's for supplemental lifts, etc -- and all of these PR's are important drivers of progress on the lifts that count on competition day. Andy and Dan lay out some simple models for programming the advanced lifter, and how they are typically organized tweaked for different personalities and body types.
