About this plan
Who it's for
For people with years of training behind them. You'll need the equipment listed above.
Not the right fit?
- Want something less demanding: Bodyweight Athletic Training, intermediate, 4 days a week, no equipment.
- Only have 3 days a week: Functional Athlete, advanced, 3 days a week.
What to expect
Each week is 84 working sets across 20 exercises, about 4 h 5 min in total.
Sets run from 3 to 15 reps, with 0:45 to 3:30 of rest between them.
Main muscles: Abs, Front Delts, Glutes, Quads, Chest, Lats, Forearms, Hamstrings.
How to progress
The plan stays useful for as long as it stays a little hard.
- Notice when it's easy. When a set feels like you could do several more reps, make the next session slightly harder.
- Change one thing. Add a rep, a little weight, or a few seconds to a timed move. Keep the old numbers until the new ones feel routine.
- Measure in months. Progress at this level is slow and measured over months. Small improvements count, and an easier week every so often helps you keep training hard the rest of the time.
If the numbers stop moving: If nothing moves for several weeks, look at sleep and recovery before adding more work.
