Beginner Strength

This program is a 12-week resistance training program for those who are currently not training or just began training <2 months ago. The primary goal is increasing strength. Some acute variables unique to this program are a training frequency of 2-3 sessions per week, high intensity, moderate to high volume, and long rest periods. The program is designed to steadily and strategically increase volume, and to work through exercise progressions to expedite your skills in the gym. Development here will serve as the foundation for higher intensity training in subsequent programs (i.e. Beginner Strength/Power). 

 

Note, "beginner" is a reflection of the acute variables (exercise selection, training frequency, etc.) and should not imply an easy level of difficulty. What to expect: goblet squat, dumbbell/kettlebell deadlift, inclined push-up, inverted row.
