Juggernaut Method for Powerlifters

This document outlines a training program called "The Juggernaut Method 2.0" which tracks progress over multiple training cycles. It provides details on how to estimate 1 repetition maximum lifts, structure training waves with accumulation, intensification, and realization phases, and incrementally increase the working maximum weights based on performance in each training cycle. The goal is to steadily increase strength levels over time through gradual progression balanced with recovery.
