Program Cliffs:

• The program was based on a research paper Dr. Kyle Pierce authored
• 10 week program; 3 weeks with sets of 10, 3 weeks sets of 5 and 3 weeks sets of 3
• Large strength focus, less technique based on the initial selection of exercises
• Pressing, deadlift-heavy at some portions and potentially worth modifying
• Users should also consider a deload week added in between the phases
• This program has been covered and discussed in great detail on weightlifting forums
• You are unlikely to find a better resource for discussion of a single weightlifting program anywhere on the internet.
• If you are interested in running this program, it is in your best interest to read the program discussion link for any pitfalls, modifications and for a better understanding of the program.
