This 1x20 program is great intro into training either from a long hiatus or for your first time starting your fitness journey. It even works great for experienced lifters looking for a GPP program. It introduces you to many different movement patterns and variations to make sure you are getting a rounded out program. 1 set of 20 repetitions allows you build a large foundation of training capacity. This specific program can be completed with just basic equipment that most every gym has (dumbbells and cables).
