Ride the Wave: Cove’s New 8-Week Strength Cycle

Starting August 25th, we’re kicking off a new 8-week cycle built around one simple but powerful method: wave loading.

Wave loading means lifting in “waves.” You build up in weight — for example 3 reps at 70%, 2 at 80%, 1 at 85% — then reset slightly and climb again. Each wave trains your body and brain to handle heavy weight with more confidence, making the bar feel lighter the second time around.

Over the next eight weeks we’ll use this approach to get stronger in the squat, deadlift, and Olympic lifts, while also sharpening technique and building consistency. Sessions stay short, focused, and effective — under 20 minutes of work outside of warm-up — so you’ll get the most out of your training without burning out.

We’ll test lifts in Week 1, ride the waves through Weeks 2–6, sharpen things up in Week 7, and finish with a retest in Week 8 to see just how far you’ve come.

This cycle isn’t just about heavier numbers, it’s about building rhythm, confidence, and trust in your lifts. Get ready to ride the waves with us and finish stronger than ever.
