Welcome to Peaker Strong, the program that aims to make you not just strong but Peaker strong!

This program was designed for those who have experience with exercise and/or My Peak Challenge Move programming and know their way around a barbell. It’s a strength-based program, which means you’ll be doing a lot of lifting — and not much cardio, so you might want to consider pairing it with a Capacity or Ignite session or two to make sure you’re also working that cardiovascular system now and again.

Peaker Strong is a progressive strength program that builds strength across specific weightlifting movements. Each 12-week module focuses on three main lifts and adds accessory exercises to support those lifts. It is intended to be followed as written without repeating weeks. This module is slightly more technically advanced because it focuses on an Olympic lift (power clean) and two lifts in the front-rack position (front squat and power clean). If you are newer to strength training, you might want to consider starting with the back squat/bench press/deadlift module to build some strength in more foundational lifts.

That said, as with any MPC program, you get to decide how you structure your training. Peaker Strong features three workouts per week, so you can decide how many active recovery and/or rest days to add to make sure your body is fully recovered and ready to go again.

As you progress through the 12 weeks of this program, you’ll notice that the workouts remain primarily the same through four-week blocks, with the notable exception of the rep ranges on the primary strength lifts. As those rep ranges decrease, weight should be going up, so aim to increase weight every week.

And finally, note that this is not a follow-along program. Coach Valbo will introduce each workout, and then you can turn up the music and focus on your workout so that you can create the rest periods you need to recover and complete the next set of lifts as cleanly as possible.

Peakers, let’s get strong!
