Would you like to know my exact system for ensuring I make consistent and unlimited gains in strength and fitness? It’s pretty simple, but definitely different from the norm. The term “unconventional” strikes a cord when I think about my approach to training programs versus the many others out there. While my methods may be outlandish in today’s age, I base all of my training on timeless principles that have been proven to work again and again.
Here is a video about the difference between practice and training which can be applied to every physical skill.
Paired with the correct nutrition and lifestyle strategies, this program can be used for fat loss and muscle building goals, or for general conditioning. This program will require a gym membership. As with all general programs, you will need to adjust this program to your individual needs. For example, some [...]
For weeks 1-3, perform the following exercises back to back with minimal rest in a circuit format, performing 12-15 repetitions per set. Perform 2-4 circuits through and rest for a couple minutes after you have completed a circuit. Listen to your body and take breaks if needed. Don’t go crazy on the weights that [...]
These three bodyweight training sessions can be inserted into your program, or used as a stand-alone workout routine for 4 weeks. I recommend doing these on three, nonconsecutive days during each week for a 28-day cycle.
Description: This is a general physical preparedness (GPP) style program that can be used for a variety of goals including fat loss, building muscle, and building your overall work capacity (AKA “gas tank”). Please note that this is not a specific program for specific athletic goals, rather a generalized program for simple goals such as body composition changes. With every sample strength training program, please note that you have individual needs, that you are not a blank slate, that you have a lifetime of conditioning under your belt (whether you like your conditioning or not). You will need to supplement this program with training for your individual needs, and may need to substitute some of the exercises with others. Also recognize that not all goals can be achieved strictly through exercise – some require very specific lifestyle adjustments to be achieved. For instance, fat loss is dependent on the principle of energy balance, (and ensuring you are in a caloric deficit) as opposed to simply training harder or longer. In order for any strength training program to be effective, you must consider all of the variables needed to achieve your goals.
This program requires minimal equipment and can be performed at home or at the gym. There are three, full body strength training sessions per week, performed on non-consecutive days, for four weeks.
If I only had one dumbbell and needed to reach a strength training goal, the dumbbell swing would be one of my exercises of choice.
