Program logic

Volume
Controlled and spread across four sessions a week. The split gives every session a clear focus and room for quality work.
Frequency
Every muscle group is trained twice a week, so the stimulus stays regular and repeatable.
Progression
Progressive load is the main sign of progress. If load stalls for a longer stretch, it’s time to look at recovery and adjust the training approach.
