FAQs
Why are no rest periods listed?
Because every lifter is different with different goals. By allowing flexibility and self regulation of rest periods you can really make each workout your own
Do you recommend warming up or go straight into work sets?
As with anything lifting related, the answer is "it depends". For the bigger, heavier sets, we recommend 2-4 "ramp sets" to get the body amped and ready, but for those body weight sessions feel free to jump right in if your body allows it
Why the different training implements?
Because after almost 30-years of lifting we've found that cycling different implements allows the joints to stay fresh, while keeping training from getting stagnant.
