"The longer I live, the more I am certain that the great difference between the great and the insignificant, is energy—invincible determination—a purpose once fixed, and then death or victory." - Sir Thomas Buxton Important: Join The Private Facebook Group Click Here To Fill Out The Application Form. This month's training routine is called "The Hero's Journey" Its broken down into 4 week cycles. Each day is a new workout with its own exercises focusing on a combination of strength, endurance, cardiovascular, muscle building, recovery and/or weight loss. Check in daily as workouts are unlocked. General tips for the journey ahead: Stay as consistent possible - consistency will give you the greatest results in the least amount of time. Be diligent. Share your progress - stay accountable with the tribe, we are all counting on each other (check the facebook group) Rest - make sure you are sleeping enough to ensure proper recover and to avoid fatigue, burn-out, and injury. Check in daily - Be sure to check in daily in case of updates, new training videos, book reviews, and more (Check emails I send you) Training Tips: Try not to deviate from the workout. I've designed this program for the most optimal success. Don't go to failure on every set - going to failure will inhibit and reduce your overall training volume for that day. Choose a weight that you use to complete all reps within that specific set. Going to high and then having to switch to a lower weight is not the most optimal training strategy. Increase weight as you get stronger through the days/weeks/months. Warming Up Tips: Warming up prior to training is important Warming up primes the body for a great day of work sets - not just an average one. You don't need that many warm-up sets to prepare you. 1x5 @ 40% working set weight 1x5 @ 50% working set weight 1x3 @ 60% working set weight Jump into working sets. Abdominal training: Train abs 2-3 times a week. A crunch type of movement and planks for a total of 5-8 sets per workout. Rep ranges that work best is between 10-15 per set for crunches and between 40 - 60 second sets for the planks
