FAQs
How should I go about selecting my main exercises?
Out of the options given, choose the exercises you think you can execute with the most proficiency, and that you have the necessary equipment for.
What if I don't know any of the olympic lifts?
That's totally fine! For olympic variations, I've also included various jumps/power shrugs/high pulls, including with a trap bar. I do believe the full olympic lifts are an amazing tool, but they're not necessary for you to complete the program and get great results.
What if a certain percentage feels really easy?
Try your best to stick to the given percentages. Often times they're not meant to be the absolute max amount of weight that you can lift for the prescribed reps. Use the plus sets as a way to express extra strength that you have that day, and know that as the weeks progress, so will percentages.
