Overview

This protocol turns a broad strength goal into a repeatable sequence. The point is not to add complexity; it is to make the behavior easy to run the same way every time, then let the consistency compound.

Expected benefit

50–100 lbs added to your squat and deadlift in 12 weeks. The confidence and competence to train for life.

How to think about it

Run it as written for the first block, then adjust one variable at a time. The useful signal comes from repeating the same inputs long enough to see what actually changes.
