The Rippler

Strength

12 weeks / 4 days per week

"GZCL: The Rippler" is a 12-week intermediate powerlifting program. It's structured in four-week blocks, each with increasing intensity. The program focuses on three tiers of exercises: T1 for main compound lifts like squats, T2 for secondary compounds, and T3 for isolation movements. Each tier has different volume and intensity goals, tailored to enhance strength and muscle growth. The program is adaptable, allowing for personalization based on individual needs and goals. It's ideal for lifters transitioning from beginner to intermediate levels.
