The Intermediate and Advanced Peaking Squat Cycle will take your squat to new heights—an easy-to-follow plan with both circa max and strength speed band cycles to peak perfectly for your next powerlifting meet.

Built from science and the platform up, world record holders and the world’s best squatters used a version of this cycle to dominate the platform. The refined version is now yours.

More than just sets and reps, Matt Ladewski shares the historical makeup of The Intermediate and Advanced Peaking Squat Cycle (giving credit where credit is due) and steers you through the program’s percentage-based intricacies to better understand the method behind the madness. The goal: To sharpen your mental and physical strength and extract every last pound your body can lift at your next powerlifting meet.

Guided through multiple meet preps by Louie Simmons, Matt Ladewski has been involved in the sport of powerlifting for over 20 years.

Matt's best competition lifts include an 835-pound squat, a 550-pound bench press, and an 800-pound deadlift.
