It is structured as three four week training blocks with a taper week set for success, and it uses RPE 1 to 10, percent of 1RM, and reps in reserve 1 to 10 to select weights, noting that RPE is subjective. For Commonwealth Cup, coming in about 9 to 10 weeks, the coach advises starting at Block 2 by working backwards to match your current week. The program is five days per week with squat once or twice, deadlift twice, and bench three times, using top sets with backdowns and pausing accessories to improve technique and fatigue management, including leaving roughly 5 to 10 pounds in reserve late in the program.
