Built for everyday people who want to build strength, muscle, and maintain fitness. Block 1 has greater emphasis on building a Strength and Muscle base.
This 4 day/week program is written by Coach Gus. It includes demo videos and explanations of the exercises, and optional accessory work if you want to fully maximize your time in the gym.
The program is based around commercial gym use, whilst being mostly free weights it does lend some help from machine work (primarily supportive hypertrophy).
