Effect of 16 Weeks of Periodized Resistance Training on Strength Gains of Powerlifting Athletes. JEPonline 2014;17(3):102-109. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of 16 wks of periodized resistance training on strength gains of 9 elite powerlifting athletes (men, 34.5 ± 5.0 yrs, 175.2 ± 7.8 cm, 94 4 ± 16.7 kg). The levels of strength ratings were determined by the 1RM test and divided into 5 stages (AS): AS1 - initial assessment, before the start of periodized training; AS2 - end of 1st 4-wk mesocycle and beginning of 2nd mesocycle; AS3 - end of 2nd 4-wk mesocycle and beginning of 3rd mesocycle; AS4 - end of 3rd mesocycle and beginning of 4th mesocycle; AS5 - end of 4th 4-wk mesocycle. Squat, bench press, and deadlift exercises were used to measure muscle strength. There was a significant increase in strength in all exercises and each assessment compared to the pre-training values (P≤0.05). After 16 wks of training, there was a 30Δ% increase in bench press, 33Δ% for squat, and 76.9Δ% for deadlift exercise compared to pre-training values. Thus, the results of this study indicate that linear periodization training applied in powerlifting athletes is an efficient method to increase muscular strength.
