This is a 12-week program that is intended for women who have just finished training for a big contest and are starting some off-season training. This program will keep your gains coming at a steady pace to improve your base level strength while focusing on the things that will help improve your strongwoman training when you start to peak out for your next contest.

After Week 12, take a week to test out how much you added to your maxes.
