About this plan
Who it's for
For anyone new to training, or coming back after a long break. You'll need the equipment listed above.
Not the right fit?
- Training at home: Calisthenics Endurance Ladder, advanced, 5 days a week, no equipment.
What to expect
Each week is 45 working sets across 15 exercises, about 2 h 30 min in total.
Sets run from 18 to 25 reps, with 0:35 to 0:50 of rest between them.
Main muscles: Glutes, Quads, Chest, Lats, Calves, Abs, Front Delts, Hamstrings.
How to progress
Endurance builds by doing a little more work at the same effort.
- Change one thing. Add a few seconds to a timed interval, a round to a circuit, or a few reps to a set. Keep everything else as it was until the change feels routine.
- Volume before speed. Add volume before you add speed: a session you finish does more than a faster one you abandon halfway.
- Learn the movements. In your first weeks much of the progress is learning the movements, and it comes quickly. Keep the load light enough that every rep looks the same, and expect to add a little most weeks.
If you miss a week: Repeat the last session you finished rather than skipping ahead.
When it gets easy: Muscular Endurance Split, the same goal at intermediate level, 4 days a week.
