The Juggernaut Method Calculator

Created by CSM 12.10.10 Modified by calvus 05.18.11

This spreadsheet takes into account the difference between your Working Max and Projected Max to determine which increment to use to increase your working max for the next phase. Change these numbers if you need to, but Chad's recommended numbers are included below in green.

Instructions: http://articles.elitefts.com/articles/programs/origin-of-the-juggernaut-method/ Enter the smallest increment that you can load the barbell with in the orange cell. For example, if your smallest weights are 2.5 lbs, enter "5". Next, enter your Rep Maxes in the yellow cells. Each Rep Wave represents a single 4 week training block. Run the Accumulation phase for a rep wave, then move on to the next rep wave. For the last set in the Realization phase, perform as many reps as possible. Record your AMRAP reps in the yellow cells under the Realization Phase. This will populate your Working Max for the next Wave.
