program naming convention

Program names use the following structure:

split / style / training-days-per-week / total-weeks

  1. split:

    refers to the number of training days over which all bodyparts are trained. For example, a 3 split trains all bodyparts over 3 days, and then repeats.

    • kinds:

      some programs will repeat the same split, 2 or 3 times, but using different exercises. For example, ‘3 split 2 kinds’ means there will be 6 unique workouts over which each bodypart will be trained twice, using different exercises each time.

  2. style:

    refers to the primary training technique, system or creator

    • high/low volume:

      high or low number of work sets and exercises

    • persons name:

      (eg Dorian Yates, Arnold Schwartzenegger) the program is based on a published structure used by the famous athlete

    • twice daily:

      refers to a program with 2 workouts per day

    • gvt:

      German Volume Training

  3. days per week:

    refers to the programmed number of training days per week.

  4. total weeks:

    refers to the total length of the program

programs can be edited and executed however you choose. not all sets or exercises need be performed. rest days can be added or ignored. splits can be changed by changing exercises.
