Power Volume 2: 8-Week Squat, Deadlift, & Press Strength Program
Have a question?
Welcome to Power, Volume 2! This 8-week program is designed to build on the gains from Volume 1, with a continued focus on increasing your squat, deadlift, and pressing strength. In this phase, we’re emphasizing the deadlift, front squat, and bench press, while still incorporating the back squat and overhead press for balanced strength development.
With just 8 weeks, this program allows you to make significant strength gains in a shorter time frame, helping you stay focused and consistent with less risk of burnout. It’s perfect for those wanting an intense and effective cycle to build power, stability, and strength.
Written with the CrossFit athlete in mind, Volume 2 remains a great fit for any athlete. By concentrating on the deadlift, front squat, deadlift, and bench press, we’re targeting key areas that enhance functional strength and power—essentials for any sport.
This program can be run as a stand-alone or alongside functional fitness training.
For most of the 8 weeks, you’ll train 4x/week:
- 2 Heavy Training Days (1 Lower, 1 Upper) + Accessory Work
- 2 Speed-Focused Days (1 Lower, 1 Upper) + Accessory Work
On average, you’ll be:
- Squatting 2 per week (with a primary focus on the front squat but keeping the back squat in rotation)
- Pulling/Deadlifting 2x per week (for both strength and speed)
- Pressing 2-3x per week (prioritizing the bench press while maintaining the overhead press)
- Core 1-2x per week
Key Benefits:
