CIRCA MAX SQUATS FOR PEAKING | WENNING STRENGTH
Most lifters either go too heavy too often or stay too far away from competition weights. Circa Max Squats bridge that gap. By combining heavy bar weight with accommodating resistance, you can handle supramaximal loads, improve force production, and learn to stay explosive under the heaviest weights you’ll see in a peaking cycle.
In this video, Matt Wenning breaks down how to use Circa Max training to peak for competition, increase confidence under maximal loads, and develop the speed-strength needed to move big weights when it matters most. Learn how to set up the bands, select the right percentages, manage fatigue, and avoid the mistakes that leave lifters flat on meet day.
Whether you’re a powerlifter preparing for a meet or a strength athlete looking to improve maximal force output, Circa Max training can be one of the most effective tools in the final weeks before competition.
Key Topics:
* Circa Max squat setup
