The program is spilt into two 6 week cycles and is based on your specific objective of the weight you want to squat in 4 weeks, 6, 8 and 12 weeks.
His squat and bench-press sets, reps and weight in these two 6 week cycles make a few bold statements. He openly prescribes to increase the weight lifted on squat to be 40 to 50 pound increase on every workout for advanced powerlifters and 20-30 pounds for intermediate.
