# How to set in-season blocks from peaking blocks

Peaking blocks stay useful when coaches write in-season maintenance loads from those targets—not when every competition week ends with vague keep sharp notes.

Audience: online strength coaches who already have peaking-block targets and need readable in-season maintenance loads clients can follow
Intent: how-to

## Takeaways

- Start from the current peaking-block target before inventing an in-season load.
- Write clear maintenance loads with which meet calendar they sit beside on the program.
- Keep in-season blocks separate from after-the-fact technique-cue logging, meet-day attempt selections alone, block load targets alone, mesocycle structures alone, macrocycle maps alone, periodization frameworks alone, block-periodization schemes alone, undulating-periodization plans alone, daily undulating-periodization rotations alone, linear-periodization ladders alone, reverse-periodization ladders alone, conjugate day maps alone, wave-periodization load waves alone, concurrent-periodization quality maps alone, polarized distributions alone, flexible keep/swap/delay week adjustments alone, same-session reactive swaps alone, dual-factor volume and intensity charts alone, ATR phase charts alone, residual phase-potentiation sequences alone, post-activation contrast pairs alone, French-contrast four-station stacks alone, complex-training pairs alone, velocity stop bands alone, autoregulated next-session targets alone, taper-block load targets alone, peaking-block load targets alone, deload-week notes, off-season base work alone, post-meet recovery loads alone, and progressive-overload charts.

## Start from the current peaking-block target

A useful in-season maintenance load starts after the peaking-block target is already written. Read those peaking loads for which meet calendar they prepare and how taper weeks sit around them, then decide which maintenance load should keep clients sharp between meets. This is a reading method for building the in-season load clients open—not software evaluation of technique-cue logging tools, meet-day tools, block-load tools, mesocycle tools, macrocycle tools, periodization tools, block-periodization tools, undulating tools, DUP tools, linear tools, reverse tools, conjugate tools, wave tools, concurrent tools, polarized tools, flexible tools, reactive tools, dual-factor tools, ATR tools, phase-potentiation tools, post-activation tools, French-contrast tools, complex-training tools, velocity-based tools, autoregulation tools, taper tools that mainly shrink weeks without in-season loads, peaking tools that mainly write peaking targets without in-season loads, deload tools, off-season tools, post-meet tools, or progressive-overload tools that mainly chart planned-vs-performed load.

## Keep the in-season maintenance load explicit

If the only plan after peaking is somehow into stay ready work, insert the maintenance load, which meet calendar week it covers, and what clients do when the next peaking block starts so productive competition seasons do not turn into unstructured improvisation. Prefer readable in-season loads over vague keep sharp notes. Ignore the urge to rewrite accessories and session order when only the maintenance load needs an update.

## Write the in-season load on the program before the next meet week

Even clean in-season loads fail if clients still open bare peaking targets with no maintenance prescription. Put the in-season load beside the peaking target and meet calendar on the assigned program, and note which peaking block drove the prescription so next review can judge whether the maintenance load still fits.

## Keep the Lyfta nudge natural

When the in-season load is clear, a product like Lyfta Coach helps if assigned programs and individual workout logs stay in the same place coaches already edit.
