Ilyin's 2014 cycle in 12 weeks
by Strength Academy
Two weeks of PPG circuits, four weeks of Polish-style triples and doubles, four weeks of 3-2-1 wave loading, an overload week, then a taper into a Friday max-out.
Who this is for
Intermediate and advanced weightlifters who can snatch and clean & jerk with solid technique and know their maxes, and want a structured peak — for a meet or a new PR.
What's included
12 weeks · 4 sessions a week · loads auto-calculated from your maxes · 3-2-1 waves and Ilyin's complexes (clean + front squat + jerk, clean + power jerk) · "Big Friday" heavy days · a final Friday max-out that records your new 1RMs. Every franc from the Ilyin Cycle goes to the Swiss Street Weightlifting 2027 edition — buying it is sponsoring the event.
What to expect
A new snatch and clean & jerk best on the final Friday, stronger front and back squats, and a clear feel for wave loading.
