**Build-up 2 (Power) program for advanced boulderers (V7-V9)**

Training for maximum power and maintaining high performance

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

## Week 2 — Build (100% volume)

*Full prescribed volume.*

**Weekly volume target**: ~311 moves.

Repeat the Week 1 sessions (Monday, Wednesday, Saturday) — 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**: ~342 moves (+10% over Week 2).

Same sessions (Monday, Wednesday, Saturday), 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**: ~187 moves (deload).

Deload week. Same sessions (Monday, Wednesday, Saturday) 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
