Description

Today’s podcast covers the basics of building a general strength training program. It’s impossible to teach you how to build your own program in 45 minutes. However, through using the past podcast episodes and blog resources we reference today, and by asking questions in our Facebook group, you’ll be able to create something for yourself. 

We’ll walk you through the 6 steps to consider when building your strength training routine, along with the resources you need to make it happen. These steps are:

  1. Define your goals
  2. Define your frequency
  3. Understand your options and build your split
  4. Determine how you’ll track progress
  5. Ensure you’re training with the right intensity and recovery
  6. Make sure you’re progressing
