Basic Training Splits

Which one best fits your commitment, goals, and don't forget about recovery!!

Consistency is the most important part of any training regimen. Figuring out what your goals are, will help guide you to which type of workout you will need. Depending on your ability to recover, will dictate your intensity you need to train. If you have can only workout twice a week, you'll need to REALLY apply yourself those two times you are in the gym. Either way, showing up those 2 times a week will produce benefits!!! 

After Phase 3, feel free to swap out your preferred hardware

  • Focus on Volume: Total reps per muscle group = high.
  • Short  Rest: Forces muscles to work under fatigue.
  • Moderate Loads: Light enough to control, heavy enough to challenge by rep      15–20.
  • Minimal Machines: Use free weights and bodyweight to improve stability      and control.
  • Optional Conditioning Add-ons: Rowing, air bike, sled push/pull, jump rope.
