8-Week Strength Training Plan
8 Weeks of Lifting Built for DBs, Plus the Meal Plan Behind It
Strength you can use at the position, not just numbers on a bar.
32 pages. Every week written out exercise by exercise with sets and reps. Nothing to figure out on your own.
PHASE 1, WEEKS 1 TO 4. Foundational strength and progressive overload.
Day 1 lower body strength. Day 2 upper body strength. Day 3 core strength and power. Day 4 active recovery and conditioning.
PHASE 2, WEEKS 5 TO 8. Push pull split, moving into explosive strength and power through weeks 6 to 8.
Day 1 upper body push. Day 2 lower body push. Day 3 upper body pull. Day 4 lower body power.
ALSO INSIDE:
Full nutrition section. 64 to 80 oz of water a day, pre-workout meal 2 to 3 hours out, post-workout meal inside 30 minutes.
An 8-week meal plan with food lists, a daily eating schedule with portions and a full example day.
10 core circuits, 3 to 4 rounds. Pick one per workout.
