Finger Rehab Return - Build-up 2 (Power)

Build-up 2 (Power) program for finger rehab returns (Returning to previous level)

Returning from pulley injury? Progressive loading protocol to safely rebuild finger strength and confidence

Maximizing power and strength through high-intensity, low-volume work with complete recovery. CNS adaptations are the priority.

This 4-week mesocycle follows the Carlos V3 3+1 pattern: three progressive loading weeks followed by a deload week.

Week 2 — Build (100% volume)

Full prescribed volume.

Weekly volume target: ~157 moves.

Repeat the Week 1 sessions (Monday, Thursday) — same exercises, same intensities — now at the full prescribed volume: use the complete set/rep ranges exactly as written above.

Week 3 — Peak (110% volume)

Increase volume or intensity.

Weekly volume target: ~172 moves (+10% over Week 2).

Same sessions (Monday, Thursday), same exercises and intensities as Week 1. Push volume to the top end of each prescribed set/rep range to add roughly 10% over Week 2. Warm-up stays unscaled.

Week 4 — Deload (60% volume)

Reduce volume, maintain intensity, recover.

Weekly volume target: ~94 moves (deload).

Deload week. Same sessions (Monday, Thursday) at the same intensities, but cut total volume to ~60%: drop to the bottom end of each set/rep range and finish each session early. Recovery is the goal — do not add work. Warm-up stays unscaled.

Key Principles

• Follow CNS-demand ordering: HIGH → MEDIUM → LOW within each session
• Maintain proper rest periods between sets and exercises
• Volume follows the 3+1 week pattern (80% → 100% → 110% → 60%)
• Listen to your body and adjust if experiencing pain or excessive fatigue
