Section 03
Strength training
Protect and build muscle with solid form, compound movements, and progressive overload.
“Train with intentsion and intensity: control the rep, progress the load, recover, repeat.”
Start with form
Position, control, and full range of motion come before load. New lifters should make their first weeks a focused practice of clean movement.
Prioritize compounds
Build sessions around push, pull, and leg movements. Use isolation work for areas such as side delts, calves, abs, or lagging muscle groups.
Progress objectively
Work mainly in the 8–12 rep range, leaving roughly one or two reps in reserve. Once you exceed the range with control, add weight gradually.
Choose a repeatable split
A four-day upper/lower plan or push-pull-legs structure both work. The useful plan is one you can repeat while allowing at least 48 hours of recovery.
Deload before burnout
The guide recommends periodic lighter weeks: reduce load, keep movement quality high, and use slower reps to maintain a training signal.
