Chris Bridgeford

This 18-week program was developed & tested by world-renowned powerlifter Chris Bridgeford.

Chris has not only been competitive on an international level, but has coached hundreds of athletes, as well as multiple All-TIme World Record holders.

You will find the same methods and principles used by these individuals within this program!

This is a collection of the Base, Build, and Peak programs laid out for you as a COMPLETE plan that will have you covering all your bases.

This program is not a cookie-cutter program that will be the same for everyone.

This is a customizable program that will require you to think, analyze, & determine your own personal areas needing improvement.

I've provided you the heart of the program & guide you on how to fill in the rest.

At its core, the basis of getting stronger is to strengthen your weaknesses.

With a comprehensive accessory guide, you can customize the program based an your weaknesses.

9-day split training split for Phases 1 and 2, 7 Day split for Phase 3.

This includes all 3 Phases; BASE, BUILD, and PEAK!

Strengthen Your Weaknesses
Whether you're weak in the hole of the squat, your knees cave in, you round your upper back, or your hips rise first, we've got you covered. Beyond programming Squats and Presses, you'll have the opportunity to vary the movement selection based on your specific weakness. Get ready to turn your weaknesses into strengths!

Build Muscle
Don't get it twisted. You'll get unbelievably strong and you'll build muscle each and every week that you commit to the programming. Stick the course and grit out each 9-day week en route to incredible gains.

Get Rid of the Guesswork
I know what it takes to get stronger than you ever thought was possible. I've put in the time, done my research, and have made my own mistakes so that you don't have to. Stop guessing what to do, how much of it to do, and simply commit to showing up and getting after it. The days of you guessing how to get to where you wanna go are gone. You're welcome!
