GZCL P-Zero: The Next Evolution in Strength Training

Created by renowned strength coach Cody Lefever (GZCL), P-Zero is the latest advancement in the popular GZCL training methodology. Building upon the success of GZCLP, a linear progression system embraced by over 50,000 lifters worldwide, P-Zero introduces enhanced flexibility and customization for lifters aiming for both strength and muscular development.

Why Choose GZCL P-Zero?

• Proven Methodology: Utilizes the successful GZCL pyramid structure (T1, T2, T3) to strategically balance strength and hypertrophy.

• Adaptable Progression: Whether your goal is powerlifting, bodybuilding, or general strength, P-Zero can be tailored precisely to your objectives.

• Structured Yet Flexible: Clearly defined guidelines enable you to confidently build your own progression, keeping workouts fresh, engaging, and effective.

How the GZCL Pyramid Works:

• Tier 1 (T1): Peak Strength

  • Main compound lifts (squat, bench, deadlift, press).

  • Heavy sets at 85%-100% of your training max (TM).

  • Designed for maximal strength development (10-15 total reps per workout).

• Tier 2 (T2): Strength & Volume

  • Compound movements or variations performed at moderate intensity (60%-80% TM).

  • Volume-focused to complement T1 lifts (20-30 total reps per exercise).

• Tier 3 (T3): Hypertrophy & Foundation

  • Isolation and accessory exercises using lighter weights for higher reps.

  • Focuses on muscular growth, foundational strength, and injury prevention (30+ total reps per exercise).

Introducing P-Zero Ultra Singles Progression:

• Optional singles-based progression to build strength, confidence, and technical proficiency.

• Utilize singles at or above 90% TM for focused intensity.

• Clearly defined stages (Stage 1: triples, Stage 2: doubles, Stage 3: singles), allowing progression based on performance rather than arbitrary timelines.

Who is GZCL P-Zero for? Ideal for intermediate to advanced lifters looking to:

• Break plateaus with structured yet adaptable programming.

• Integrate powerlifting-inspired strength principles into their routine without exclusively training for competition.

• Take ownership of their training progression, customizing as they advance.
