Plus... a bonus program

70 Week s4 Training Program by Dave Tate 

This includes the actual set by set, rep by rep, and percents used for the lifters who train at the s4 compound. This program is split into 4 phases:

• Phase 1 — 33 Weeks Based on Building Muscle Mass (to move up a weight class).
• Phase 2 — 8 weeks based on the setting up this new muscle into a working unit that will be used to build absolute strength. 
• Phase 3 — 13 weeks of building strength and technique back to baseline meet prep. 
• Phase 4 — 16 weeks of peaking absolute strength levels to PR levels. 

Many s4 lifters wanted to move up a weight class. Rather than doing this by getting fat, this program was designed to build muscle mass allowing them to fill out the next weight class up. While doing this a certain level of absolute strength was (and always will be lost). This is when strength capacity needs to be restored and then built to higher levels due to the increase in muscle mass. All goals were exceeded! 

This program alone is 180 pages and worth thousands of dollars if you were top pay Dave's programming fees.
