Discover how periodization manages training variables to maximize hypertrophy and reduce injury, using macro cycles, mesocycles, and micro cycles to structure phases like hypertrophy, strength, and peaking.
This lecture explains training variables, including effort, volume, frequency, rest, exercise selection, range of motion, and bracing and stability, and shows how RIR guides effort toward near-failure with deloads.
Define volume as sets per muscle group per week and volume load; higher weekly sets may boost growth, but beginners start near ten sets weekly and monitor sleep and progression.
Learn how training frequency shapes volume and recovery, comparing four-to-five sessions per week with split choices like push-pull-legs versus bro splits, and how advanced lifters benefit from higher frequency.
Discusses exercise selection for muscle growth, combining multi-joint and single-joint movements and machines to target muscles from multiple angles, while emphasizing progressive overload and avoiding changing exercises too often.
Vary exercises by using 2–3 moves per muscle group to hit different angles and functions, with chest and hamstrings examples, and change when plateau or pain arises.
Explore kettlebell training as a full-body, power and endurance tool with coordinated technique. Learn how to include kettlebells as a moderate-volume variation to complement muscle growth and physique goals.
Explore nutrition as a driver of progress by applying energy balance and BMR to determine maintenance or weight change, calculate calories for maintenance with Mifflin-St Jeor equation and activity multiplier.
Master a weight loss phase by maintaining a deficit with higher protein, steady training intensity, and more daily steps, while using caffeine and artificial sweeteners to curb cravings.
In this video, we explain:
1-What is metabolic adaptation?
2-How metabolic adaptation affect weight gain and weight loss
3-How to mitigate its effects
Are you tired of guessing your way through your workouts? Do you want to design a program that actually works for you? Look no further! This course can do it for you.
This course is perfect for beginners, intermediate, and advanced lifters, as well as personal trainers who want to take their training to the next level.
Understanding how to design a program, using evidence-based principles, is crucial for longterm success, by allowing for more flexibility as well as proactiveness in your training.
By providing you with the tools and knowledge necessary to create effective and individualized programs, I believe that you can achieve your goals and reach your full potential!
HOW CAN THIS COURSE HELP YOU?
1. By Solving the Challenge of Navigating Weight Training Information:
If you're new to the world of weight training, you may find yourself overwhelmed by the abundance of information available, particularly on social media platforms. With so many different opinions and methods being shared, it can be challenging to discern which approaches are truly effective and applicable to your own goals and needs.
2. By Highlighting Evidence-Based Principles:
My goal for creating this course is to educate interested individuals, like yourself, in a simple and straightforward manner, providing you with information that is grounded in research-based studies and industry guidelines. By using evidence-based principles, I can help you develop a comprehensive understanding of how to design a program that is effective and efficient for your specific goals. I believe that understanding how to design a program is crucial for long-term success, as it allows you to tailor your training to your individual needs and preferences, increasing the likelihood of adherence and sustained progress.
3. By Tailoring Training Programs to Individual Needs:
The harsh reality is that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to weight training, the results you achieve will be highly dependent on your individual factors. My course will provide you with the foundational knowledge and skills necessary to create a program that is personalized to your unique situation, whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced lifter, or a personal trainer looking to expand your knowledge base.
4. By Empowering You to Make Informed Decisions:
Being independent in creating your own, science-based, individualized, training program, will give you a lot of power and control over your goals and what you will do to achieve them. So let’s start this journey and learn how to create the perfect program!
HOW CAN YOU USE THE INFORMATION LEARNED FROM THIS COURSE?
The knowledge and skills gained from this course can be practically applied in various ways.
As a beginner, you can start by using the information to design a program that is suitable for your goals and fitness level. By following the principles taught in the course, you can create a program that is tailored to your specific needs and preferences. This will help you to achieve your goals more effectively and efficiently while reducing the risk of injury.
As you gain more experience, you can use the information learned to design programs for others. If you're a personal trainer or coach, you can use the knowledge and skills gained from this course to create programs for your clients that are effective, safe, and tailored to their unique needs and goals. By using evidence-based principles, you can ensure that your programs are based on sound scientific principles and are likely to produce positive results for your clients.
In addition to designing programs, the knowledge gained from this course can also be applied to make modifications and adjustments to existing programs. As you become more experienced in program design, you may encounter situations where the program you designed for yourself or your clients needs to be modified. By applying the principles taught in this course, you can make the necessary adjustments to ensure that the program continues to meet the individual's needs and goals.
Finally, the knowledge gained from this course can also be used to evaluate the effectiveness of training programs. By understanding the principles of program design and how to implement them effectively, you can evaluate the success of your training program and make informed decisions about how to modify it to achieve better results.
