Training the Bullmastiff Program Ep 49 440 lb Squat AMRAP Peak Phase 2 Start

Episode 49 kicks off Peak Phase 2 of the Bullmastiff Program, and squat day immediately shows that nothing has slowed down. The structure remains similar to the end of Peak Phase 1, but the intent is sharper now—less accumulation, more execution, and continuing to express the strength that has already been built. The main lift was 440 lbs on squat. Four sets of 2 reps to build into the top effort. Then a final AMRAP set: 440 × 4 reps. That’s the same top weight from the end of Peak Phase 1, but now being handled at the start of a new block—showing that strength has been maintained and stabilized under peak conditions. Accessory work continued to reinforce strength where it matters most. Deadlifts at 405 lbs for 5 reps focused on controlled pulling strength, front squats at 205 built quad strength and positioning, and bent-over rows at 205 continued developing upper back support for heavier barbell work. Peak Phase 2 is not a reset—it’s a refinement phase. The strength is already there. Now it’s about consistency and control under heavy loads. 🐶 The bar hasn’t gotten lighter… but it’s moving better. 📚 BULLMASTIFF SERIES Ep.45 – Squat (440×4 Peak Phase 1 Finale) Ep.46 – Bench (325×4) Ep.47 – Deadlift (465×4) Ep.48 – OHP (235×4) 👉 Ep.49 – Squat (440×4 AMRAP) Peak Phase 2 Begins ⏭️ Ep.50 – Bench Day (Peak Phase 2) 🏋️ WORKOUT BREAKDOWN Back Squat (MAIN LIFT) 440 × 2 × 4 440 × 4 (AMRAP) 🐶 Deadlift (Volume) 405 × 5 × 4 Front Squat 205 × 5 × 4 Bent Over Rows 205 × 8 × 3
