How to Climb the Mountain
Peaking Programs and Templates for Every Single Lift
 
How to Climb the Mountain is a complete guide to peaking strength across every lift and event you will ever need to prepare for. This is a full system of peaking templates, structures, and ready to use cycles designed to help lifters perform at their highest level on the day it actually matters.
This book shows you how to peak the squat, bench, deadlift, log press, axle press, yoke, farmers, stones, sandbag, dumbbell, and all major strongman and powerlifting lifts. It gives you the sequencing, the wave structures, the timing, and the technical considerations that separate a good peak from a competitive one.
This is built from your peaking articles, your Conjugate teaching, and the structure you use for real athletes preparing for national and world level events.
 
What You Get
Complete peaking programs for every major lift
Separate templates for max attempts and reps events
Three week, six week, and extended peak structures
Guidance on tapering, fatigue management, and timing
Full explanations for how each lift responds to different peak designs
Competition week preparation and attempt selection systems
Plug in templates that lifters can use year round
Everything in this book is designed so lifters can pick any lift, slot in the correct peaking phase, and know the structure will hold.
 
Inside the System
The book covers the core components of high level peaking:
Max Effort sequencing for strength specific peaks
Speed and coordination work to maintain sharpness without adding fatigue
Repetition effort structures for rep based events
Technical refinement drills for log, axle, stones, sandbags, and awkward implements
Accessory placement that reinforces the peak without disrupting it
Conditioning considerations during the final weeks of a peak
Competition week scheduling and warm up strategy
Each lift has its own tailored template because each lift peaks differently. The book teaches you how to recognise these differences and how to apply the correct structure every time.
 
Who It Is For
Strongman athletes preparing for multiple events in a single competition
Powerlifters who need clarity in their squat, bench, and deadlift peaks
Hybrid lifters who want a reliable method to peak any lift at any time
Coaches who need a consistent system to prepare athletes for competition
Lifters who want confidence that their final weeks will produce real performance
How to Climb the Mountain gives you the tools to prepare at a high level across the entire competitive year.
 
Why It Works
This book is built on the principle that every lift requires its own logic, timing, and progression to peak correctly. One template cannot serve all lifts. A universal taper cannot produce consistent results. Peaking works when the lift, the structure, and the athlete are aligned.
 
How to Climb the Mountain gives you the frameworks, the templates, and the reasoning to peak any lift with clarity and purpose. It is written for lifters who want to understand the process and for coaches who need a system that works under pressure.
