How to progress

Wave intensity around a training max; peak the three lifts and test or compete at the end. If you stall for two sessions in a row, take a small deload and build back — see progressive overload for the full method.

Run it on autopilot. Nishaana loads the Powerlifting Program, pre-fills every set, and tells you the exact weight to beat each session — free in your browser.
