The Protocol: Strength & Size Program

THE PROTOCOL: Strength Progression

8-Week SBD Progression System

A structured strength program built to help lifters break plateaus in the squat, bench press, and deadlift.

If you’re training hard but your numbers aren’t moving, this protocol gives you a clear, repeatable plan to progress — without burning out.

What This Program Does

• Increases squat, bench, and deadlift
• Breaks plateaus with planned progression
• Uses heavy training without ego lifting
• Balances intensity, volume, and recovery

This is not random workouts.

It’s a system.

Program Overview

• Length: 8 weeks
• Training: 4 days/week (+ optional support day)
• Intensity: 75–95% of Training Max
• Bench: 3× per week

Progression Phases

• Weeks 1–3: Accumulation
• Weeks 4–6: Intensification
• Week 7: Peak
• Week 8: Test or Reset

What’s Included

• Exact sets, reps, and percentages
• 4-day split (+ optional Day 5)
• Mobility & recovery guidance
• Strength-focused nutrition rules
• Tracking & adjustment system
• Quick Start guide

Who This Is For

• Lifters who know their main lifts

Best for late beginners to intermediate lifters.

Why It Works
