About this plan

Who it's for

For people who have trained regularly for a while. You need no equipment.

Not the right fit?

What to expect

Each week is 57 working sets across 14 exercises, about 2 h 55 min in total.

Sets run from 12 to 30 reps, with 0:35 to 1:15 of rest between them.

Main muscles: Chest, Triceps, Abs, Glutes, Quads, Hamstrings.

How to progress

Muscle grows when the work keeps getting a little harder, so the plan only does its job if the numbers move.

  1. Hit the target. Finish every rep of every set at the listed target, with good form. On the Push Up that means all 4 sets of 15.
  2. Add weight, or a rep. Next session, add the smallest weight step you can and work back up to the target. If the weight can't go up yet, add a rep instead. On bodyweight moves like the Push Up, lower more slowly or move to a harder variation.
  3. Beat last week. At this level the numbers move week to week rather than every session. Aim to beat last week on each exercise, even by a single rep.

If an exercise stalls: Stuck for two or three weeks running? Take a little weight off and build back up.
