FAQs
How many days per week do I train?
The program is designed around three full-body workouts per week, making it easy to stay consistent while still seeing great results.
What equipment do I need?
Most workouts use common gym equipment like dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells, resistance bands, and bodyweight exercises. We also use cable machines occasionally but movements can be subbed to band variations. The program works well in commercial gyms or well-equipped home gyms.
Is this program beginner friendly?
Yes. FrameWork-Base is designed to be approachable for beginners while still effective for intermediate lifters who want structured programming.
How long are the workouts?
Most sessions take 45–60 minutes, depending on rest periods and how quickly you move through the exercises.
Do the workouts change over time?
Yes. Training cycles progress over time with new exercises and adjustments to help you continue building strength and muscle.
Is this personalized coaching?
No. FrameWork-Base is a structured program designed for general training. If you’re looking for fully customized programming, personalized coaching options are available separately. Email josh@metroeastfitness.com for more information on personalized coaching.
Can I follow this program in a big box gym or garage gym?
Yes. The program is designed to work in commercial gyms, garage gyms, or well-equipped home setups.
What if I miss a workout during the week?
No problem. The program is structured around three sessions per week, but you can simply pick up where you left off. Consistency over time matters more than perfect weeks.
