This beginner and knee friendly program will take you from «Oh wow, I sort of trust my knees again» to a comfy "Yes, I can lift shit!". This is step three of three. If your knees are fucked, you should start with basic v1 and work your way through v2 before this one. This program is a followup to the program "Basic v2" PS: Not a doctor, don't DM me if you go too hard. Take care, play safe.

This program is built around a full gym. Make sure you have consistent access before starting, since the progression model assumes you can perform the same movements week over week.

Each session typically takes around 60 minutes to complete. That estimate covers your working sets but doesn't account for warm-up or rest between sets, so budget a little extra time when you're first learning the movements.

The program runs for 3 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.
