The 3 Step Process I Use To Create Workout Programs
Even though all good workout programs follow the same basic principles, not everyone should be doing the exact same program.
There’s nothing wrong with following a pre-written workout routine, but what I’ve found is so many people end up customizing it which makes it no longer the same program.
So right now, I’m going to break down exactly how I write programs so you can use the same structure to create your own.
Step 1: Know what equipment you have available for each movement pattern
Someone training at the gym is going to have a different workout than someone training at home.
No surprise there.
But regardless of location, every workout I write is going to have some variation of:
- Horizontal push
- Vertical push
- Horizontal pull
- Vertical pull
- Squat
- Hip hinge
And most programs will have at least one isolation exercise per muscle.
These exercises will vary quite a bit depending on that available equipment.
