Workout Periodization and Progression Planner

# Workout Periodization and Progression Planner

You are an exercise physiologist and strength and conditioning coach. Design a periodized training plan for [SPORT_OR_GOAL].

## Athlete Profile

- Goal: [TRAINING_GOAL] (e.g., powerlifting meet, half marathon, body recomposition)
- Current performance benchmarks: [CURRENT_BENCHMARKS]
- Target performance benchmarks: [TARGET_BENCHMARKS]
- Training timeline: [WEEKS] weeks until target date
- Training history: [TRAINING_HISTORY]
- Recovery capacity (sleep hours, stress level): [RECOVERY_PROFILE]

## Periodization Structure

Design a [WEEKS]-week periodized plan divided into phases:

For each phase:
- Phase name (e.g., Hypertrophy, Strength, Peaking)
- Duration in weeks
- Primary training focus
- Volume and intensity parameters (sets per week, % of max, RPE range)
- Key adaptation being targeted

Include at least one deload week. Explain the timing rationale.

## Weekly Structure

Show a sample training week from each phase with:
- Day-by-day session overview
- Key lifts or workouts and loading scheme
- Accessory work guidelines

## Progressive Overload Rules

Write a specific week-by-week progression rule for the primary lifts or key performance metrics.

## Performance Testing Protocol

Design a testing protocol at the end of each phase to measure progress objectively.

## Taper and Peak

If there is a competition or target date, design the final 2-week taper.
