Q&A-Peaking, Speed Training and the Juggernaut Brand

- I answer some questions from Facebook about how I'm able to outperform my training liftings by so much in a meet, how to balance speed and strength training for athletes and what I think has been integral to growing the Juggernaut brand.

The Most Underrated Powerlifter (other then maybe Jeremy Hamilton) In the world! So much information... so few people know of Chad... but they are catching on! (finally)
The best part is the bit about click-bait and no bullshit at the end
+Johnathan Santana the Hypertrophy and Strength Blocks could be as long as 6 months in duration, but I wouldn't advocate longer than 4 months. Peaking should not exceed 3 months and that would only be for advanced athletes.
+Juggernaut Training Systems thanks for the response and when you say 4 months do you mean 4 months for hypertrophy and then 4 months for the strength block?
+Johnathan Santana yes 4 months of each.
+Juggernaut Training Systems would you recommend peaking even if you're not going to compete anytime soon just to see where you are and cycle everything again?
+Johnathan Santana You can if you'd like but its not necessary, you'll be able to gauge progress through the strength block.
thanks for the replies i really appreciate it
i really liked that strength block video u did u think u could do a hypertrophy block in the future........ i no u said u were going to do a peaking block im looking forward to that......... thanks for all the great info
+mike ried Thanks Mike. Here is a 55 minute video from Dr. Israetel on Hypertrophy Block Design...360.jtsstrength.com/videos/22/311/practical-programming-for-hypertrophy
great video chad!
lets say someone is not going to compete for maybe a year or longer would you still have them go through these blocks or stay at lets say two blocks like hypertrophy block and then move to strength and back to hypertrophy or would you want them to peak to see where the person is and then restart the blocks again and so forth?
I bought the Scientific Principles of Strength Training book and I love how it's not a prescription for how to lift - rather, it's a tool to teach "how to fish". That said, I found your other video on how to create a Peaking cycle (using these principles) solid gold and a perfect supplement to the book (th-cam.com/video/eBIInwyXIfA/w-d-xo.html). Do you have similar videos on how to create a Strength or Hypertrophy cycle? After my upcoming meet, I would like to start creating my own cycles using these principles. Thanks.
+Ken Creta Thanks Ken! Yes we do in Strong360. It is a 55 min video with Dr. Mike...360.jtsstrength.com/videos/22/311/practical-programming-for-hypertrophy
Hi Chad, love these informative videos they are top notch. When you are going through your peaking phases and dropping the volume to reduce accumulated fatigue, does the lower volume training begin to diminish earlier adaptations (such as hypertrophy and work capacity) or can it be maintained through smaller doses during this phase? Is it a matter of timing the peaking so that it is not so long that de-training effects occur, and so that fatigue is dropped in time for the competition? Would love to hear your thoughts on this
That would depend on the length of the peak phase and the athlete's unique decay rate of fitness but that is relatively small intra-individual differences. For myself, using a 2 month peaking phase there will be slight hypertrophy decay but nothing too significant to damage meet performance. A less experienced/smaller/weaker athlete needing a shorter peak would have even less decay.
+Juggernaut Training Systems ok that makes more sense. thanks for the reply Chad, I appreciate it.
Regarding accessory work to compliment your main lifts, which areas are more benefitial to work (lats, triceps etc) for each main lift?
+Calvin Saephan Squat-Quads, Hamstrings, Hips/Glutes. Bench-Pecs, Triceps, Shoulders, Lats. Dead-Hamstrings, Low Back, Glutes, Lats.
Hey Chad, currently doing your inverted method. What speed/agility work would you recommend before the main lifts for a tennis player? Looking for lateral explosive movement. I'm already incorporating very short sprints, initially starting from a standing position starting sideways, as opposed to blocks or 3 point stance.
Am I looking for as lateral deceleration drill?
Chad, i see a lot of people usually not being able to hit there gym pr's in competition. They usually say that there are too many unpredictable parameters on meet day. How is it you always seem to lift much more in competition?
+TheGamezbePlayed I feel like I addressed that in the video pretty thoroughly. Read this too: www.jtsstrength.com/articles/2015/01/07/complete-guide-putting-prs-platform/
After my meet I noticed a 20-25% drop in strength. Any ideas on how to combat this and/or adjust training?
If you mean immediately after your meet, that is just from fatigue from the meet. If you're taking significant time off after the meet, that combined with the taper time before a meet can combine into decayed fitness.
I guess you're right, thank you. I'm gonna try dialing my percentages a bit lower and hope they come up quick.
Right? ;)
