If you don’t pick a training stimulus that suits the individual, focusing on the minutiae of writing the “perfect workout” is futile.
For example, if someone is struggling with poor sleep and low energy levels, sending them into a highly metabolic training program is likely one of the worse options.
Learning how different training stimuli will tax the body and what biomarkers to look for is a much more important skill than writing programs that look really good on paper. Sets, reps, exercise selection, tempo, rest, etc all matter, but only to the degree that they help you achieve a training effect (stimulus) that results in a positive adaptation.
Not everyone is prepared for any stimulus at any time, or has the ability to recover from it. Learning to assess and program based on what the individual needs is a key skill we focus on developing in our students through the online courses.

After taking our training analysis quiz, you’ll have a long-term plan constructed for you. Your plan will consist of several Phases. Each Phase will present you with a few suggested programs to pick from. Each time you complete a program, you’ll move on to the next Phase and a new set of programs to select from.
This allows flexibility in the split and type of program you can choose, while we strategically periodize the stimulus you’re getting to keep making consistent progress without neglecting any weak links.
For example, a long-term plan with the goal of muscle gain will still occasionally include systemic conditioning or dedicated local metabolic work to keep your recovery capacity high (so you can grow and perform better during your hypertrophy-focused programs).
