The Buckeye Program

(Intermediate - Advanced)

For this strength program you’ll use your known or estimated 1RM and deduct 20lbs to get your Working 1RM. Each week, you’ll add 5lbs to your W1RM and recalculate using the new W1RM. Continue the program until you can no longer complete each set. If you’re doing long pause reps (one one-thousand, two one-thousand, press) or competition length pause reps, deduct 30/40lbs from your 1RM. This is a great program for using pause reps! I’ll usually run this program for 3 weeks before switching to another program.
