Training programmes

Choose a programme by starting point, objective and available training days.

Every programme includes a written block, coached floor access and a scheduled review. The structure changes by goal, not the coaching standard.

Bodybuilding Contest Prep
Choosing the right starting point

The best first programme is the one you can repeat and recover from.

A coach looks at current technique, training history, available days and the main result you want. New members normally begin with Foundation, while experienced lifters may enter Hypertrophy or Strength Performance after a movement review.

Foundation

New to weights

Start with Foundation and learn the floor.

Experienced

Training consistently

Choose hypertrophy or performance by goal.

Return

Returning after time away

Reduce volume first, then rebuild load.

Contest

Preparing for a show

Confirm timeline before starting prep.


How each programme block works

The structure stays simple enough to follow and detailed enough to measure.

01

Baseline week

Technique and current working loads

Establish repeatable movements and realistic starting numbers.

02

Progressive weeks

Load, reps or volume move gradually

Only one or two variables change at a time.

03

Deload or pivot

Reduce fatigue before the next push

Use lower volume or changed exercise emphasis where needed.

04

Formal review

Compare results and choose the next block

Update priorities based on training evidence and recovery.


Programme planning

Useful numbers that keep expectations clear.

8

Weeks per standard block

Long enough to collect meaningful training evidence.

1

Written review per block

Technique, progress and next priorities recorded.

2-5

Training days available

Programmes scale to realistic weekly availability.

Random workouts

Every main session belongs to the current block.


Programme questions

Answers to the main questions before choosing a starting block.

Do I need bodybuilding experience?

No. Foundation assumes no previous structured resistance training.

Can I change programme later?

Yes. Programmes change at review points when goals, availability or recovery change.

Is nutrition included?

General guidance is included. Individual nutrition coaching and contest prep are separate services.

Can I train outside coached blocks?

Yes. Members use open gym for accessories, cardio and approved programme sessions.
