Candito 6-Week Strength Program
Jonnie Candito is a popular powerlifter and YouTuber known for his transparent and educational content. His 6-week program is a classic peaking cycle.
The Methodology
The program is divided into weekly blocks, each with a specific focus:
- Week 1: Muscular Conditioning (High volume)
- Week 2: Hypertrophy (Moderate volume/intensity)
- Week 3: Linear Max OT (Heavy weights, lower reps)
- Week 4: Heavy Acclimation (Getting used to near-max loads)
- Week 5: Intense Strength (Testing your limits)
- Week 6: Deload or Max Out
It is an excellent program for lifters who want a structured, short-term plan to hit a new PR.
