Wave loading is a highly effective method for improving strength and neurological efficiency (ability to recruit more muscle fibers in every contraction). This method allows you to prepare the nervous system with the first “wave” of sets to perform at a higher level during the second wave. Often allowing you to lift more load than you would using traditional straight sets.
Choosing your weights carefully and tracking them is extremely important for getting the most out of this program, but you will notice that your loads and execution continue to improve each week if done properly.
The strength and neurological benefits of this program will carry over to elevating your results in both future hypertrophy and metabolic phases of training. Whether your goal is muscle gain or fat loss, the adaptations from an effective wave loading program will help you long-term. It can also be a great option for a de-load from metabolic work so that you can still be achieving positive adaptations while taking a break from systemic or lactic training stress.

A wave-loading rep scheme potentiates the nervous system so that you are able to achieve higher levels of intensity during the second (or sometimes third) “wave” of sets.
It is very efficient for maximizing peak output and intensity for strength goals.

After taking our training analysis quiz, you’ll have a long-term plan constructed for you. Your plan will consist of several Phases. Each Phase will present you with a few suggested programs to pick from. Each time you complete a program, you’ll move on to the next Phase and a new set of programs to select from.
This allows flexibility in the split and type of program you can choose, while we strategically periodize the stimulus you’re getting to keep making consistent progress without neglecting any weak links.
For example, a long-term plan with the goal of muscle gain will still occasionally include systemic conditioning or dedicated local metabolic work to keep your recovery capacity high (so you can grow and perform better during your hypertrophy-focused programs).
