Becoming Batman Phase 1

Program Description

Phase 1 – The Foundation This phase is designed to build your strength, improve movement quality, and lay down the foundation for the rest of your training. You'll train 5 days per week: 3 full-body strength sessions and 2 cardio sessions to build endurance and recovery capacity. Warm-Up (Before Every Strength Workout): 5 minutes of moderate-intensity cardio (Bike, jog, row, or jump rope – anything to get your heart rate up) World’s Greatest Stretch – 12 reps per side Arm Circles – 30 forward + 30 backward Downward Dog to Plank – 15 reps This warm-up gets your body ready to perform and reduces the risk of injury. Training Guidelines: Train every working set within 2 to 0 reps of failure (Stop each set when you feel like you could only do 0–2 more clean reps) Avoid taking complex lifts like squats or deadlifts to failure (Keep 1–2 reps in reserve to maintain safe technique) Take 2 rest days each week (Spread the workouts out in a way that works best for your schedule. Example: M/Tu/Th/Fri/Sat) Aim for quality reps over quantity. Focus on control, full range of motion, and proper form. Progression Method – Double Progression: Each exercise includes a rep range (e.g., 6–10 reps). Start with a weight that allows you to hit the lower end of the range with good form. Stay with that weight until you can hit the upper end of the rep range on all sets. Then, increase the weight slightly and repeat the process.
