Ian Roth introduces the synergy strength split program, guides you as your personal trainer through this course, and previews an approach designed to change your life.
Explore a detailed exercise library for beginners and a novel challenge for advanced exercisers through a synergy set approach that supports joint rehabilitation and time-efficient, flexible splits and minimal equipment.
Explore macronutrients—protein, fats, and carbohydrates—and their role in composition. Follow protein targets around 0.6 g per pound of lean weight, with protein sources and carbs 30–60%, fats 10–30% of calories.
Prioritize unprocessed foods and an 80/20 split, eat two different colored vegetables per meal, favor seasonal or frozen options, and minimize alcohol to aid fat loss.
Recomposition trades fat for muscle while keeping weight at maintenance, and is especially suitable for those with zero training history, those who are detrained, or those who are highly overweight.
Hydration powers bodily functions, enhances muscular fullness, and improves exercise performance while curbing cravings. Target two liters per day, drink before meals, and avoid drinking during meals to protect digestion.
Discover how complete proteins and carbohydrates fuel muscle building, with fats, and focus on mechanical tension, i.e., intensity, to drive growth while sleep, consistency, sunlight, and movement support recovery.
Overcoming isometrics train against immovable resistance to rapidly boost strength, joint integrity, and muscular proficiency. Use a ramped protocol—3 seconds in, 70–100% effort, 30–60 seconds total per set.
Explore incidental workouts using isometrics as opportunistic, daily-life strength training. Learn practical variations to train glute medius, quads, hamstrings, grip, and core anywhere.
Learn why warm ups aren't required in the synergy strength split, as slow cadence, shortened range of motion, and overcoming isometrics reduce peak forces and injury risk.
Gather a small towel, sliders or paper plates, a sturdy table and chair, pillows, a light resistance band, and optional dumbbells or a kettlebell to perform the program's workouts.
explains the push-pull-legs split, targeting chest, shoulders, and triceps; back and biceps; and legs with a posterior chain focus and abdominals, with scheduling from 3 to 6 workouts per week.
Perform the chest dip with a chest squeeze isometric using chairs or a table. Keep hips behind shoulders, descend into a deep stretch, reset, and push to failure with control.
Perform the barrel press, a chest exercise blending a press and a fly with a wide grip and strong bottom stretch, usable on ground or chairs.
Target the upper chest with front raises while training the shoulders. Use neutral or pronated grips with towels, wall corners, bands, dumbbells, kettlebells to maintain tension and push to failure.
Perform the upright reverse press at a 45-degree incline with a reverse grip to target the upper chest, using dumbbells or a band, seated or standing pressing up and away.
Synergy Strength Split is a one-of-a-kind exercise program. As with all of the Synergy Strength programs. It is based on Synergy Sets, a seamless combination of the best resistance training methods. The result are workouts that accomplish in minutes what gym goers spend hours trying to achieve. And you’ll get these results without the same risk of injury that is associated with traditional resistance training methods.
And, for those of you with a history of resistance training, the Synergy Set approach will change how you understand exercise. It will also fix that joint pain you’ve been struggling with, and bulletproof those joints so you don’t have to worry about them any more.
What differentiates the Split program from the rest of the Synergy Strength catalog, however, is its flexibility. This program includes four different workout splits—ways to structure your workouts. Alongside these splits, you will find a library of exercise tutorials covering the most effective exercises for each body part, all designed using the Synergy Set approach. The result is endless possibility. You might stick with one split and mix up the exercises each time. Or you might find the exercises you like and change up the split every few weeks.
The result is that you have a lifetime of exercise options in a single program. Every time things begin to feel a bit stale, you can switch them up, re-energize your routine, and give your progress a boost.
Any program can teach you a workout. This program will teach you how to design your own workouts.
