Progress Safely and Confidently

Use the beginner 10% rule and RPE

Increase total work by roughly ten percent weekly, aiming for a perceived effort around six or seven of ten. You should finish sets knowing one to three solid reps remained.

Schedule recovery like it matters, because it does

Sleep seven to nine hours when possible, hydrate, and keep easy walks on rest days. Every fourth week, consider a lighter deload. Recovery turns training stress into actual progress your body can sustain.

Avoid the most common beginner traps

Skipping warm-ups, maxing out too soon, and chasing soreness only delay progress. Choose repeatable efforts, tidy form, and patient weekly nudges. Comment your hardest habit to fix, and we’ll troubleshoot together.

Form Fundamentals for Real-World Strength

For squats, think sit back and down, knees track over toes, chest tall. For hinges, keep ribs down, long spine, hips back. Film a rep and tag us with questions.

Form Fundamentals for Real-World Strength

In push-ups, hands under shoulders, body a straight line, elbows at about forty-five degrees. For rows, brace the core, pull toward pockets, pause. Two clean sets beat sloppy heroics every time.

Track, Reflect, Adjust

Record sessions completed, sets and reps, RPE, and how you slept. These basics reveal patterns quickly, guiding smart adjustments without drowning you in spreadsheets or confusing, unnecessary detail.
