Barbell Power to the People 2.0?

[CClark2.0]

Hello,

I’ve been following the Power to the People 2.0 Military Press and Deadlift practice from the Strongfirst Training App. I’m on my fourth and last week of the program and wondering what to do after that. The app says the duration is four weeks and to test your 1rm at the end. After I’ve done that should I follow a different program or find a new 10 rep sort of max, and start a new 4 week cycle?

Thank You.

You can run another cycle or I would shift to the daily dose deadlift

A lot depends on where you are in your lifting life. Some people get run the same program over and over and get good results, although they might do program A, then program B, then back to A, and so on. You can run the same program back to back - you might find it works well. My own experience has been that I can run the same program once or twice in a row, but after that, I need a change or I'll find myself burned out before I finish the third iteration of the program. Without knowing more about you, I'd say that if you got a big boost in your 1RM from your current 4 week cycle, go for using it again.

I vote for repeat the program. @Steve Freides wrote well, If it works, why change it? Run the second, and even the third cycle. If you hit the wall, switch to a different program, like DDDL suggested by @Mark Limbaga

I often look at my personal life and event calendar. For example a holiday, a choose a programme that suits best; 4 week, 6 week, 8 week, etc.
