REVIEW FULL BODY TRAINING PROGRAMS
DB | Dumbbell |
BB | Barbell |
1RM | 1 Rep Max |
BW | Bodyweight |
ECCENTRIC | In an eccentric exercise, your muscle stays contracted while lengthening. EXAMPLE: It’s the downward motion of a push-up, pull-up, or squat. |
ISOMETRIC | During isometric exercises, the muscle doesn’t noticeably change length and the affected joint doesn’t move. EXAMPLE: A wall sit, plank, or handstand hold. |
CONCENTRIC | During a concentric exercise, the muscle length will shorten. EXAMPLE: The upward motion of a bench press, dumbbell row, or bicep curl. |
*INTENSITY LEVEL |
This will be the resistance weight (dumbbells, barbells, weight plates, cable machines, etc.) you will use in each exercise. There are 3 options available: |
1 ) X % of your 1RM 2 ) ≤ X % of your BW 3 ) BW only |
TRAINING PROGRAMS |
STABILIZATION * |
Stabilization training is used to increase muscular endurance and stability. It will help improve your ability to stabilize your joints and posture; high repetitions with a focus on increasing your proprioception. |
STRENGTH ENDURANCE * |
Strength Endurance training means training with a moderate number of repetitions with heavier weights. This phase of training will help your body adapt to higher volume workouts while increasing your strength. This type of training will involve compound sets of exercises. |
HYPERTROPHY * |
Hypertrophy Training refers to an increase in muscular size by increasing the number of sets performed while increasing the amount of resistance used. The amount of reps for each set will be moderate to low. |
MAX STRENGTH * |
Max Strength Training is a measure of how much force your body can exert. More sets. Less reps/set. Heavier weights. |
POWER * |
Power Training typically involves exercises which apply the maximum amount of force as fast as possible. It is based on the idea that Strength + Speed = Power. Power training workouts will combine a Strength focused exercise with a Power focused exercise for each body part. |
TRAINING STYLE |
SINGLE SET | Performing only 1 set of each exercise. |
EXAMPLE | |
Resistance weight used: Exercise 1:.. 70% × 200 lbs. = 140 lbs. | |
START If your 1RM for Dumbbell Bench Press is 200 lbs. (two 100 lb. dumbbells), then the actual weight you will use for this exercise will be 70% of that total weight. This means you will perform ONLY 1 SET of Dumbbell Bench Press with 140 lbs (two 70 lb dumbbells). FINISH Once this 1 set is completed, rest, and then move onto the next exercise. |
MULTIPLE SET | Performing multiple sets of each exercise you have selected. |
EXAMPLE | |
Resistance weight used: Exercise 1:.. 70% × 200 lbs. = 140 lbs. | |
START If your 1RM for Dumbbell Bench Press is 200 lbs. (two 100 lb. dumbbells), then the actual weight you will use for this exercise will be 70% of that total weight. This means you will perform 1 set of Dumbbell Bench Press with 140 lbs (two 70 lb dumbbells). FINISH Once this set is completed, rest according to your chosen Training Program and then REPEAT the same exercise for X amount of sets based off of your Fitness Level. |
COMPOUND SET | Performing 2 exercises in rapid succession for the same muscles, or non-opposing muscle groups, with minimal rest in between the two exercises. |
EXAMPLE | |
Resistance weight used: Exercise 1:.. 70% × 200 lbs. = 140 lbs. Exercise 2:.. 70% × 120 lbs. = 84 lbs. | |
START If your 1RM for Dumbbell Bench Press is 200 lbs. (two 100 lb. dumbbells), then the actual weight you will use for this exercise will be 70% of that total weight. This means you will perform 1 set of Dumbbell Bench Press with 140 lbs (two 70 lb dumbbells). FINISH Once this set is completed, IMMEDIATELY begin Exercise 2, or at least with as minimal amount of rest time as possible. START If your 1RM for Dumbbell Flyes is 120 lbs. (two 60 lb. dumbbells), then the actual weight you will use for this exercise will be 70% of that total weight. This means you will perform 1 set of Dumbbell Flyes with 80-90 lbs. (using either two 40 lb. dumbbells or two 45 lb. dumbbells). FINISH Once this set is completed, Rest 60 seconds, then REPEAT the same two exercises for X amount of Compound sets (as determined by your Fitness Level). |
SUPERSET | Performing 2 exercises in rapid succession for opposing muscle groups with minimal rest in between the two exercises. |
EXAMPLE | |
Resistance weight used: Exercise 1:.. 70% × 200 lbs. = 140 lbs. Exercise 2:.. 70% × 120 lbs. = 84 lbs. | |
START If your 1RM for Dumbbell Bench Press is 200 lbs. (two 100 lb. dumbbells), then the actual weight you will use for this exercise will be 70% of that total weight. This means you will perform 1 set of Dumbbell Bench Press with 140 lbs (two 70 lb dumbbells). FINISH Once this set is completed, IMMEDIATELY begin Exercise 2, or at least with as minimal amount of rest time as possible. START If your 1RM for Dumbbell Rows is 120 lbs. (two 60 lb. dumbbells), then the actual weight you will use for this exercise will be 70% of that total weight. This means you will perform 1 set of Dumbbell Rows with 80-90 lbs. (using either two 40 lb. dumbbells or two 45 lb. dumbbells). FINISH Once this set is completed, Rest 60 seconds, then REPEAT the same two exercises for X amount of Supersets (as determined by your Fitness Level). |
PYRAMID SET | Increasing or Decreasing resistance weight with each set. |
EXAMPLE | |
Resistance weight used: Exercise 1:.. 70% × 200 lbs. = 140 lbs. | |
START If your 1RM for Dumbbell Bench Press is 200 lbs. (two 100 lb. dumbbells), then the actual weight you will start for this exercise will be 70% of that total weight. This means you will perform the 1st Set of Dumbbell Bench Press with 140 lbs (two 70 lb dumbbells). FINISH Once this set is completed, rest, and then repeat the same exercise for X amount of sets (as determined by your Fitness Level and Training Program you have chosen).

Power Training
- This phase of training typically involves compound sets to help improve your explosiveness. Power workouts will combine a Strength focused exercise (less reps using a heavier weight) with a Power focused exercise (more reps using a lighter weight) for each body part. During each set, the goal will be to apply the maximum amount of force as fast as possible. It is based on the idea that Strength + Speed = Power.
