Jeff Nippard: Phase 3.0 Powerbuilding System

The ultimate hybrid program for lifters who want BOTH size and strength.

Powerbuilding 3.0 is the final and most advanced instalment in the Powerbuilding System — strategically designed to peak your strength on the Squat, Bench Press, and Deadlift while continuing to build dense, aesthetic muscle.

This phase is built using advanced block periodization, progressive overload, and precision technique development, making it ideal for intermediate to advanced lifters who want elite-level performance without sacrificing hypertrophy.

What’s Included

Powerbuilding 3.0 Training Manual (100+ Pages)

A complete breakdown of the program—covering periodization, progression models, training variables, FAQs, warm-ups, and weekly layouts.

Inside, you’ll learn:

• The exact 10-week structure:
  • 8-Week loading phase
  • 1-Week taper
  • 1-Week max testing
• Why Phase 3 uses heavier loads, lower volume, and a full-body split for optimal strength carryover.
• How to autoregulate training with RPE and intensity brackets (e.g., 80–85% of 1RM).
• How to track progress using the included spreadsheet.

Training Split (5 Days/Week)

Every week follows a consistent full-body structure designed to:

• Maximize frequency on the Big 3
• Manage fatigue
• Improve strength skill through repeated exposure

• Maintain hypertrophy via intelligent accessory selection

This structure makes it the most strength-focused phase of the entire system.

Progression Schemes & Periodization

Phase 3 follows a peaking-focused block periodization model:

• Phase 1: Build the base
• Phase 2: Build work capacity & hypertrophy

• Phase 3: Convert that size + capacity into pure strength (transmutation & peaking) 

You’ll use:

• Top sets + back-offs
• Heavy singles, doubles, triples
• Planned tapering
• Auto-regulated volume

• Detailed warm-up guidance

Exercise Demo Library

The manual links to video demonstrations for every exercise, making execution simple and beginner-friendly—even though the program is built for intermediate–advanced lifters.

Technique Handbook (80+ Pages)

A full, science-based technique guide covering:

• Squat Mechanics & Technique
• Bench Press Mechanics & Technique
• Deadlift Mechanics & Technique
• Sticking points
• Common technique errors
• Breathing, bracing, tempo, and mind–muscle principles
• When controlled cheating is acceptable on accessories

• Injury-smart lifting principles (including when form breakdown is OK) 

This handbook massively elevates your lifting skill, making it easier to progress safely.

Get Ready Manual (Checklist & Setup Guide)

A full preparation guide helping you understand the theory behind Powerbuilding and how to get the most out of the system.

Includes:

• Background on the philosophy of powerbuilding
• Benefits of mixing rep ranges
• Bodybuilding vs. powerlifting synergy
• Gear recommendations

• Pre-program checklists

Excel Tracking Spreadsheet

A complete training log designed for:

• Auto-calculating percentages

Who Is This For?

Powerbuilding 3.0 is perfect for you if:

• You’ve been training 2–5+ years with solid technique
• You want to improve your Big 3 strength
• You want to build muscle while training heavy
• You’re an intermediate or advanced lifter
• You want a program that thinks for you

• You enjoy structured, intelligent programming backed by sports science

This is not designed for beginners — it’s for lifters who want a serious peak.

Expected Results

Depending on your training age, most lifters experience:

• 5–10% strength increase on the Big 3 (intermediate lifters)
• 1–5% strength increase for advanced lifters
• Noticeable improvements in technique, control, and range of motion

• Increased muscle density and improved aesthetics from higher-frequency full-body structure 

Program Goals

• Peak your Squat, Bench, and Deadlift
• Maintain and grow lean muscle tissue
• Improve technique
• Develop full-body strength
• Reduce fatigue through intelligent tapering

• Build long-term strength capacity
