How to follow the plan

Warm up for 5–10 minutes, then do one or two lighter sets of the first exercise. Pick a weight you can lift for the listed reps with one or two reps to spare.

Rest 1–2 minutes between sets, and 2–3 minutes on heavy barbell lifts. When you hit every listed rep with good form, add a little weight or a few reps next time — that is progressive overload.

For timed exercises, keep a steady pace for the whole interval and add 5–10 seconds once it feels easy. Swap any exercise you can't do for a similar one — each exercise links to its technique page.
