How to Climb the Mountain: Peaking Programs & Templates for Every Single Lift**
Your complete system for turning strength into performance.
Most lifters know how to train, build strength and push numbers higher across a training cycle. Very few have a clear, reliable method for turning that strength into the result they want on the platform or in a strongman arena. Peaking is the missing link. This book gives you the full structure.
How to Climb the Mountain is a complete peaking manual for powerlifting and strongman. It teaches you how to organise, sequence and run the final three to twelve weeks before a competition with precision. Every lift and every event has its own pathway, and each pathway is mapped with detailed three week waves that you can plug into your training exactly when you need them.
Inside the book you will find:
• A full framework that explains what a peak is for and how it works
• Universal three week PR waves that apply to every barbell lift and every strongman event
• Layered exposure waves, percentage waves and goal oriented waves
• Peaking templates for squat, bench and deadlift
• Peaking systems for log, axle, yoke, farmers, stones, sandbags, medleys, throws and specialist strongman events
• Detailed four, six and nine week peaking plans for both powerlifting and strongman
• Ready to run three week peaks for every single lift and event
• Quick peaks for one to two week short notice competitions
• Dueling peak systems for athletes who need to peak multiple lifts at the same time
• Solutions for athletes with many competitions per year
• A complete troubleshooting system with fixes for early peaks, flatness, technical drift and fatigue issues
• Strongman competition day protocols
• A full meet week plan
• A master decision chart that shows how to peak any lift in under a minute
• Stacked medley systems, peak week warm ups and an entire template library
This book fits inside the wider Conjugate structure without replacing anything. It gives you the missing piece. Your long term development builds the mountain. This book shows how to climb it.
Whether you are preparing for your first meet or planning a season with several strongman shows, this resource gives you a clear map. You will understand how to choose the correct wave, how to combine waves into full peaks, how to evaluate whether a peak is working and how to repeat successful peaks with confidence.
If you want a system that works for every lift, every event and every time you compete, this is it.
