Just like this program designed and created for strength.

The first step is to be aware of how to maximize strength. The rule is to do 3-6 reps. 4-6 sets and with a 3-minute rest in between sets.

Why?

Picture this, when a 100m sprinter does their best effort to sprint 100m.

They are going to be knackered straight away, the chances of them turning around and sprinting the same speed with a 45-60 second rest is very unlikely.

It is even more unlikely to do that over multiple sets. The sprinter needs a long rest before they can sprint again at the same pace.

Same goes when lifting heavy weight for 3-6 reps. Don’t rest long enough and it will be very unlikely to maintain the rep range throughout each set with the same weight.

It may seem silly waiting around for 3 minutes, but I assure you, it will pay dividends when your strength is going up like a kid on a sugar hit.

Don’t judge a book by its cover. Give this program ago and follow it for 6 weeks.

Programs don’t need to be filled up with heaps of exercises to be effective. They need to be specific to the goal to be effective.
