Powerlifting Phases and Max Recoverable Volume (MRV)

– Different powerlifting phases have different MRVs.

– Strength phase MRV: Maintain high force production & technique.

– Can't maintain recent performance in sets of 3-6 reps? You've passed your strength MRV.

– Peaking phase MRV: Needs to be low for optimal performance.

– Active recovery phase MRV: Focuses on maximizing recovery rate.

Plan your training with MRV in mind for each phase.
