My Special Olympic athlete, CJ Piantieri, deadlifting 265 and 275 for 4 reps each while training to compete in the 66 kg/145 lb class at the Special Olympic Area Games at Stetson University on September 29th.

Although my training philosophy is based off a gradually increasing range of motion in order to optimally stimulate the CNS to adapt to heavier weights while reducing joint stress, CJ is better off reinforcing his motor pattern with the full movement each week. I have him follow linear periodization in the off season (when he has to go for extended periods without competing) and block periodization when he’s closer to meets. He’s in what is considered the “transmutation” phase prior to the “realization” phase for the last few weeks. Today he worked with 75 and 77.5% of his projected 350 deadlift max for 4 reps each.
