Progression guidance

Suggested addition

Progress by improving control first, then reps, then load. Keep technique stable before increasing intensity.

Recovery guidance

Suggested addition

Leave at least one easier day after the hardest lower-body or conditioning session when possible.

Safety notes

Suggested addition

Use loads you can control, warm up the primary movement patterns, and stop a set when form changes meaningfully.

Scaling options

Suggested addition

Beginners can reduce one set per exercise, extend rest periods, or use simpler variations while keeping the weekly rhythm intact.
