Upper Body Athlete 3 is a 24-week progressive training plan that follows 'Triphasic Training' while also utilizing French Contrast Training. There is an eccentric phase, an isometric phase, a concentric phase, a strength-speed phase, and a peaking phase, as well as 'Deload' weeks and 'Central Nervous System Recovery' weeks to maximize your strength, power and explosiveness as much as possible.
This plan does use heavy weights, so if you are uncomfortable lifting heavy, I would choose the 'Upper Body Athlete 2' program instead!
There are Video Demonstrations for every single exercise explaining exactly how to do the exercises to bring the most results.
