The Coan-Phillipi Deadlift Program is a renowned and widely used deadlift routine designed to help lifters increase their deadlift strength. Ed Coan, considered one of the greatest powerlifters of all time, and Mark Phillipi, another accomplished powerlifter, collaborated on this program. The program typically spans 10 weeks and is structured to help lifters peak their deadlift performance for a specific competition or goal. The key features of the Coan-Phillipi Deadlift Program include: 1. Specificity: The program is highly specific to the deadlift, focusing on building strength in the key muscles involved in the lift. 2. Progressive Overload: It employs the principle of progressive overload, gradually increasing the intensity and volume of the deadlift training over the course of the program. 3. Intensity and Repetition Scheme: The program uses a mix of high-intensity, low-repetition work and lighter, higher-repetition work to address both strength and muscular endurance. 4. Accessory Work: In addition to deadlifts, the program often includes accessory exercises to strengthen the supporting muscles, such as the lower back, hamstrings, and glutes.
