Program Description
This program follows a linear periodization model, divided into three 4-week phases: Foundation Building, Strength and Power Development, and Athletic Performance. It employs a full-body training approach three times per week, ensuring all major movement patterns are trained in each session for optimal muscle stimulation and skill development. Here's a quick summary of rest times and progressive overload strategies for each phase: Foundation Building (Weeks 1-4): Rest times: - Compounds: 2-3 minutes - Accessories: 60-90 seconds - Explosives: 2 minutes Progressive Overload: - For compounds, aim for 2.5% weight increase week by week. Maintain weight during last week. - For accessory exercises, perform exercise at lowest rep range at difficult but achievable weight. Add one rep until you get to top rep range. When you can complete all sets at the top of the rep range, increase weight by 2.5% in the next session Strength and Power Development (Weeks 5-8): Rest times: - Compound: 3-5 minutes - Accessories/Explosives: 2-3 minutes Progressive Overload: - For compounds, aim for 2.5% weight increase week by week. Maintain weight during last week. - For accessory exercises, perform exercise at lowest rep range at difficult but achievable weight. Add one rep until you get to top rep range. When you can complete all sets at the top of the rep range, increase weight by 2.5% in the next session Athletic Performance (Weeks 9-12): Rest times: - Compounds: 3-5 minutes - Accessories: 2-3 minutes - Explosives: 3-4 minutes Progressive Overload: - For compounds, aim for 2.5% weight increase week by week. Maintain weight during last week. Focus on maximal intent and bar speed. Maintain Week 11 weights but aim for explosive execution on every rep - For accessory exercises, perform exercise at lowest rep range at difficult but achievable weight. Add one rep until you get to top rep range. When you can complete all sets at the top of the rep range, increase weight by 2.5% in the next session Implement deload weeks every 4 weeks where you reduce volume to 2 sets per exercise and use 60% of the previous week's working weight. Protocol for Failure: If you were to fail one of the lifts, follow the following steps: 1. Rest 1-2 minutes, attempt to complete remaining reps 2. If still unable, reduce weight by 5-10% and finish remaining sets 3. Start with the successful weight in the next workout 4. If consistently failing, deload by 10-15% for a week, then rebuild I plan on releasing a full program which goes into much more detail into cardio, nutrition, weight cutting, short notice fight prep and much more. P.S This is the first program I've developed through watching videos and consulting AI on workout programming, exercise selection, best practice and much more. I would appreciate a lot of feedback so I can learn more. All constructive criticism welcome! :)
