Four, three week blocks of exercises are laid out and divided into Phases. Each phase emphasizes a specific result (e.g., building strength or endurance). The rep ranges change in phase so you accommodate this by using the proper weight to achieve the reps.
This 3 Week Program is Phase 4
All workouts are based on the 5 Human Movements plus Intensity Training.
That's the 5+1 System.
Exercises are programmed using super sets like:
From a high level, this program uses linear periodization. This means you progress from lower intensity to higher intensity workouts within each phase.
Each three week phase gradually increases overall volume and intensity as you progress through the phase.
And each week of the phase has its own cycle, varying easy, medium and hard workouts.
So week 1 is the least intense and week 3 has the greatest intensity.
As you pass from week 3 in phase 1, for example, to week 1 in phase 2, you get a brief respite (easier week, relatively) as you build into the second phase.
There are three workouts per week with an optional 4th workout depending on how you want to implement your dynamic training.
Option 1 is to perform the dynamic training at the end of your resistance training sessions and training just 3 days a week for slightly longer sessions.
Option 2 is to add a fourth training day specifically for the dynamic training.
Either option works well.
Exercises are selected to accomplish the following criteria:
There are three exercise categories:
Body weight exercises are great for horizontal pushing, pulling and squatting.
Kettlebell exercises are perfect for vertical pushing, pulling, hinge, squatting and carries.
The specific Dead lift exercises were added since there isn't a great alternative for the hinge when performing body weight exercises.
These exercise categories are combined in different ways to provide excellent stimulation for muscle growth and varying movements to ensure you never get used to workout.
Something is always changing.
You will continue to gain strength and lean out consistently.
This program design ensures no lulls or plateaus in your growth.
3 weeks of solid, sustained improvement
