Protocols

7 protocols
ProtocolAdvanced

75 Hard

The original mental toughness program. Two workouts per day (one outdoor), follow a diet, drink a gallon of water, read 10 pages, take a progress photo. Every day. Miss any task, restart from day 1. This isn't a fitness plan — it's a test of who you are.

75 days
Cue Challenges, Ladder
ProtocolBeginner

Beginner Strength Program

A simple, proven 3-day full-body program for people who are new to barbell training or coming back after a long break. Three compound lifts per session, linear weight progression, no fluff. This is how you build a foundation that lasts decades.

12 weeks / 3 days per week
Strong
ProtocolIntermediate

Weekly Training Split

The default next step after a beginner linear program. Two upper days and two lower days give each lift enough weekly practice without turning every session into a two-hour grind. Simple, repeatable, and easy to run in a home gym.

8–12 weeks / 4 days per week
Strong
ProtocolBeginner

3-Day Full-Body Hypertrophy

A simple muscle-building template for people who want more size and general strength without committing to five training days. Every session touches squat, hinge, push, pull, and accessories so missed days do not wreck the week.

8 weeks / 3 days per week
Strong
ProtocolBeginner

Conditioning Protocol

The unglamorous conditioning base that makes strength work easier. Low-intensity aerobic sessions improve work capacity, help you recover between hard sets, and make high-rep lower-body work less miserable.

30–45 min / 2–3x per week
ProtocolBeginner

Progressive Overload Protocol

The basic rule behind every useful strength program: do slightly more over time while keeping form intact. This protocol gives beginners a simple progression model they can apply to almost any lift without guessing.

Ongoing / every training block
Strong
ProtocolBeginner

Deload Week Protocol

A structured easy week that keeps the habit alive while letting fatigue drop. Deloads are not time off and they are not failure. They are how you keep a long training block from becoming a slow-motion stall.

1 week / every 6–10 weeks
Strong
