Program Details

Beginner
The Beginner program is an introductory weight training routine designed to familiarize new lifters with a few standard movement patterns and the barbell. The Beginner is ideally meant to serve as a temporary (2-6+ month) learning period to help new lifters transition to more intense and higher frequency routines. If you’re interested in incorporating a more serious weight training program into your routine but don’t know where or how to begin, this is the place to start. This program is also great for those who have been out of the gym for an extended period of time.
An example block is listed below.
Full Body
The Full Body is a continuation of the 2-3 day per week Beginner routine, but this program includes progressive overloading. It is designed to target strength and hypertrophy. If you’ve taken an appropriate amount of time to learn the basics, this will be an easy transition from the Beginner. If you enjoy a 2-3x/week schedule but want more variety, the Full Body is a great place to hang out.
An example month is listed below.
