The goal is to stay consistent and push outside of our comfort zone. 

Each week the main goal is progressive overload / challenge yourself: this could be changing one aspect to make the workout more challenging. Different ways to progress: increase weight, increase sets, decrease rest time, increase reps, add a pulse, or pause. Remember if you cannot increase weight week after week that is okay! Staying consistent with the weight and improving form is another way to improve. As well as adding an extra rep. During this programming, since we do one movement per body part per workout you want to give 100% to each movement. You do not have to conserve energy like you would need to if doing a body part split, for example, shoulder day. This split type should help you focus less on volume and more on quality heavy lifts. 


I will note movements you should try increasing weight on and reps/sets each week. 

Let's do this!
