Before you start this training programme, it’s important to understand the key elements that make up every workout in this guide. Knowing what each one means not only gives you a better idea of what you’re trying to achieve, it also allows you to make adjustments to future programmes so you can always make progress.
Every workout is comprised of six different elements, or variables.
■ Exercise selection The move you choose to perform in any given workout.
■ Reps The number of times you perform that move without stopping for rest.
■ Sets The number of times you perform a certain number of reps of a move.
■ The amount of resistance you lift for each set.
