This program is Phase 2 of the Powerbuilding System. It is designed to expand and improve on the adaptations built in Powerbuilding Phase 1. Phase 1 was designed with a roughly equal focus on developing strength and muscle growth. It could be considered a pure “50:50” powerbuilding plan. Phase 2 will focus more on the muscle building aspect of powerbuilding through the use of slightly higher volumes, more exercise variation and advanced hypertrophy techniques. This phase will set us up to have an enormous work capacity and increased muscle mass leading into Phase 3.
