The weekly template

  1. Session 1

    Lower push — squat pattern, 3–4 working sets of 5–8 reps

  2. Session 2

    Upper — one press and one row, 3–4 sets of 6–10 reps

  3. Session 3

    Hinge — deadlift or hip hinge, 3–4 sets of 5 reps, plus a carry

Load comes from leverage, tempo and single-leg work rather than weight, so this runs anywhere.

How the 4 weeks block progresses

  • Week 1 — learn the patterns at roughly 60% effort and log every set
  • Week 2 — same loads, one extra set on the first two movements
  • Week 3 — small load or round increase, same set count
  • Week 4 — cut volume by a third and retest your key movement

Add one set in week 2, a small load jump in week 3, then deload volume by a third. Track top-set load on the squat, press and hinge so the next block starts from real numbers.

Kit and substitutions

  • None
  • A mat or towel
  • A wall and a sturdy chair

If a movement is too easy, slow the lowering phase to four seconds before adding reps.
