PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Program Overview
This 12-week strength training program is designed for women who want to build lean muscle, gain strength, and boost confidence—without bulking up.

Training Approach
The focus is on slow, controlled progression and foundational strength work. You'll train with classic movement patterns like squats, hinges, and presses, emphasizing clean form, body awareness, and steady improvement.

Program Structure
The program is divided into three progressive phases. Each phase builds on the last, allowing your body to adapt, grow stronger, and recover without feeling overworked or burned out.

Progression Guidelines
You’ll be encouraged to increase weights only when movements feel solid and your RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) stays below 8. This ensures you’re challenging yourself without crossing into unnecessary fatigue or strain.

Who It’s For
Whether you're new to lifting or returning after a break, this program provides a supportive path to strength without excess size.

Results You Can Expect

  • Lean muscle development

  • Stronger movement patterns

  • Improved energy, confidence, and self-trust

This is a great basic program for beginners and intermediate lifters. It has all the fundamental movements and focuses on a set and rep volume that will promote strength and muscle growth without leaving you sore or exhausted. I’ve been lifting on and off for years, jumping from one program to another or just kind of meandering aimlessly through the gym and I have never had the kind of results I’ve gotten in the 10+ weeks I’ve done this program. I have more than doubled my volume on many of the core compound lifts and, at the age of 42 and under 2 years postpartum (C-section), I’ve reached weights I’ve never lifted before, even in my 30s. If you commit to completing this program you WILL see positive results.

Good intro program - progressive, starting with intro exercises and building up. If it's your first time I'd repeat the first block a few times before progressing. Added in some pelvic floor exercises like: bird dogs, reverse plank, etc.
