If you are new to the gym, coming back from an injury, a long lay off, or even if you want to master the basics of workout programming and movement proficiency surrounding the compound movements, this is for you!
What to expect:
Building confidence and movement profficency through the use of compound lifts (back squat, bench press, overhead press, deadlift, barbell rows). These movements will be trained frequently throughout the week, through the use of progressive overload.
You will train full body, 3x per week, ideally in non-consecutive days (Monday, Wednesday, Friday), or something similar. But if you need to train consecutive days, that is perfectly fine too!
You will also learn how to use the RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) Scale. This will teach you how to gauge the proper intensities for each working set. You will notice that as you get more practice with these movements, the intensities will stay the same but the weights will be getting heavier. That's how we adapt and get stronger.
Conditioning will be done on your "rest days" to help improve your cardiovascular/work capacity. This will improve your quality of life and recovery.
You will notice that movements are trained frequently but will have different rep ranges and the main movements are placed in different orders for different days of training. This is how we can use variation in our training.
