Train
Build strength and athletic ability
Heavy, simple, repeatable lifting. Loads that progress week on week because the plan says so and your logged numbers agree, not because you felt good that morning.
The method
A fixed programme is out of date the moment your life changes. This one is rewritten around what your own numbers say is happening.
Six parts
Every one of these runs for the full ninety days. None of them is optional, and none of them works alone.
Heavy, simple, repeatable lifting. Loads that progress week on week because the plan says so and your logged numbers agree, not because you felt good that morning.
Energy systems trained deliberately — the aerobic base that decides how you recover, and the hard efforts that decide what you can do when it counts.
A nutrition strategy built on what you already eat, so it survives a bad week. Targets if you need them, habits if that's the actual problem.
Sleep, mobility and workload are managed as part of the programme. Most stalled progress is a recovery problem wearing a training problem's clothes.
Weekly check-ins and logged sessions show what's working. When something drifts below plan, it gets changed that week rather than at the end.
The point of all of it. Strength that shows up in your work, your sport and your life — then tested, so it isn't a matter of opinion.
The three ideas
Progressive overload. To get stronger you have to ask for slightly more than last time — a little more weight, a rep more, better control. Slightly. The people who add too much too fast spend the next month going backwards.
Recovery is where it happens. Training is the stimulus; the adaptation happens while you sleep and eat. Train harder than you can recover from and you're just accumulating fatigue and calling it effort.
Consistency compounds. Four sessions a week for ninety days is fifty-odd sessions. Two good weeks followed by a write-off is twenty. There is no cleverness that closes that gap.
That's it. The value isn't secret knowledge — it's the system that makes you do these three things properly for ninety days straight, and the numbers that prove whether you did.
The shape of it
Testing first, then three blocks with different jobs, then the same tests again.
Testing. Not training. Four sessions that establish how you move and what you can currently do — main lifts, power output, and one hard conditioning test. Nothing to prove; these numbers become the line everything else is measured against.
Foundation. Build the base. Loads that feel comfortably hard and repeatable, with the emphasis on movement quality and tissue tolerance — particularly if you're coming back after time away.
Intensification. Volume down, intensity up. Fewer reps, heavier bar, sharper conditioning. Progress checked against your week-zero numbers so nothing drifts unnoticed.
Expression. Maintain strength, express power, sharpen the engine. Volume drops deliberately — this is peaking, not building.
Retest. Fatigue stripped out, then the same tests you did at the start. You get a capability score out of 100 measured against your own starting point, not against anybody else's.
The method is fixed. What it prescribes for you isn't — that comes out of the application and the call.
