Training notes

How to use this plan

Use this as one session within your routine, allowing recovery before training the same muscles again. Complete the listed sets of an exercise before moving on. Leave about two good repetitions in reserve and adapt the load to your level.

Before you start

Start with 5–8 minutes of easy movement, then rehearse the first exercises with lighter loads. The listed sets are working sets; warm-up sets are additional. Choose loads that leave about 2 good repetitions in reserve.

Make progress

Start at the lower end of the repetition range. When every set reaches the top of the range with controlled technique, increase the load by the smallest available step. If technique changes or recovery drops, keep the load or reduce a set. Record what you do and review after 4–6 weeks.

These are general training templates. Adjust them to your experience and recovery. Stop an exercise if it causes pain.
