Weightlifting Peaking
Weightlifting Peaking is an advanced Olympic weightlifting program that runs 6 weeks at 4 sessions per week. It is built into Ægir Iron and free to load for individual lifters and for athletes on a coach's roster.
What this program is
A 6-week competition prep block for experienced weightlifters. Four sessions per week: three weeks of triples at RPE 7, then three weeks of heavy singles at RPE 9 on the competition lifts. There is no built-in taper week, so plan your own lighter days before the meet.

How it works in Ægir Iron
Inside Ægir Iron the plan is real Cycle, Block, Week, Day structure. The 6 weeks are grouped into 2 blocks, and the sets, reps and effort targets change from one block to the next. Lifts carry RPE targets rather than percentages, and you choose the weight. If you would rather run a lift off a percentage of your max, switch that row to a percentage in the editor. You load it in a couple of taps, then adjust any session, and a coach can push it to an athlete's account in real time.
Start Weightlifting Peaking
Open Ægir Iron, go to Program and choose New Program, then the Program Wizard. On the first screen pick your discipline, then choose Weightlifting Peaking from the cards under WHAT DO YOU WANT TO RUN? It is free on iOS, Android, and the web, with your data synced across all three.
