    The only thing missing from this table is how man exercises per work-out? Is it just about 5 – 7 exercises for each phase?

    Why is Load (% of 1RM) for Power 45-55 smaller than for Hypertrophy 60-80?

      cos power is about accelerating loads as rapidly as possible under full control, not about building strength or muscle size. Basic physics: because moments (torque) around a joint = force x distance and force = mass x acceleration, it is possible for the weight used to be relatively low in a power rep but, because you are required to move it much faster you can still far exceed the moment applied in a strength rep. If you overload, you will not be executing the power rep properly and injury risk is much greater than in other protocols. Always work up to full ROM and power gradually in each session, especially when involving lower back, rotator cuff and knee! Good luck
