FAQs

I’m new to the program, where should I start?

Head over to your calendar in the TrainHeroic app. This is where you will locate your first training session. Don't worry if you’re joining a few weeks into the current cycle. Just jump right in and begin training.

Should I know my 1 rep max for squat, bench, and deadlift?

It is recommended you have a general idea of what your 1 rep max (1RM) is for squat, bench and deadlift. It is not necessary as most workouts / exercises are based on RPE.

Is this individualized programming

No. We offer individualized programming on our website. This program is an economic way to enjoy conjugate training in a community setting.

What does RPE mean and how do I implement it into my workouts?

Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) is a way we measure how hard an exercise should feel. We use a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 is very easy and 10 is very difficult. For example, if a set feels too hard, you can decrease the weight or intensity for the next set to avoid overtraining or injury.

How should I warm-up / cool down?

Each session has what we call a Wenning Warmup, this warmup is used to prime the muscle groups we will be targeting for that session. The Wenning Warmup varies from workout to workout. Depending on the workout, we usually end each session with accessories.

What equipment is needed for this program?

All you need is barbells, dumbbells, and bands to join. Specialty bars and chains are recommended but not necessary.

Can I swap exercises if equipment isn’t available?

Yes, when you are on a specific exercise that you would like to swap out, hit Swap. You will see a list of other exercises to choose from. We put some suggestions for alternate exercises in the notes for each session right in the app. We’ve got a great culture and everyone is excited to help out.

What does a typical week of training look like?

Programming is usually 4 days per week with 2 max effort days (upper and lower) and 2 dynamic days (upper and lower).

What if my schedule does not allow me to train 4 days a week?

No need to worry! You can do 1-3 workouts per week, we recommend each week changing up the sessions from the previous week. Do not perform Max Lower, Max Upper and Dynamic Lower every week, change it up each week.

How much recovery should I take between each session?

You need to have at least 72 hours of rest between Max Lower and Dynamic Lower sessions and at least 72 hours of rest between Max Upper and Dynamic Upper sessions.
