The ‘peak’ in a training program generally refers to the highest intensities and highest level of specificity that you will see in a powerlifting program. Designed to increase your 1RM of all three basic compound movements, bench press, squat, and deadlift, Alexander’s Peaking Program is one of the best deadlift programs available. Inspired by both Yuri Verhoshansky’s Soviet Peaking Routine and Stephan Korte’s 3X3 Program, Alexander fused the best of both powerlifting worlds.
As old as time itself, these peaking programs can be run for squat, bench, and deadlift when preparing for a powerlifting meet. Both seek to improve your 1 rep max by 5% after the end of the cycle.
The differences between the 9 week and 12 week peaking cycles can be seen below:
