The Weight Room/Strength
Program
138 Total body workouts | 98 Upper body workouts | 111 Lower body workouts.
The total, upper, and lower body workouts are divided into three subcategories: 1) Regular set and rep type. Nothing fancy, just good old fashion resistance training, 2) H.I.T. (High Intensity Training)/Varied protocols to up your training to another level, and 3) Circuit-type where a stopwatch or wall clock is used.
Additionally, most workouts have three different exercise orders to choose from to further add variety to your plan. All workouts use barbells, dumbbells, plate-load machines, selectorized machines, body weight only, and other devices. They range from 10 to 15 minutes in length to nearly an hour, depending on which ones you select and how focused you are. That is: A workout with less workout volume/fewer sets = less time to complete, and if you minimize rest time between sets – including water breaks, recording workout data, and fiddling with your music player – you’ll spend less time at the gym.
The collection includes a mixture of various exercises, set/rep scripts, and overload protocols. This will give you quality workouts without the drudgery of repeating the same workout too often.
Personal trainers rejoice!
These workouts are ideal for personal trainers who train clients with traditional one-hour or 30-minute training sessions. The various total body, upper body, and lower body workouts can be added to the session, even when “cardio” exercises are included. Pick and choose accordingly as there are numerous options to fit the scheduled one-hour or 30-minute session. All workouts are ready-made, easily implemented, and time-saving due to all pre-planned details.
To assure you’re on track, specific procedures accompany each workout so it’s clear on what to do. You are encouraged to paper-print the enclosed workout recording forms to document and track your progress.
