The Juggernaut Method Calculator This spreadsheet takes into account the difference between your Working Max

ween your Working Max and Projected


Max to determine which increment to use to increase your working max for the next phase.
Created by CSM 12.10.10 Change these numbers if you need to, but Chad's recommended numbers are included below in

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.
