FAQs
Does it matter what days of the week I perform the training sessions?
You can perform the training program whatever days of the week work better for you, however I recommend you give a day or two between sessions for recovery.
How do I know what weight to use for a given exercise?
I have provided a suggested range of weights for each exercise but you must determine what weight you are able to complete the sets maintaining very good exercise technique.
