Progression guidance
Suggested additionProgress by improving control first, then reps, then load. Keep technique stable before increasing intensity.
Recovery guidance
Suggested additionLeave at least one easier day after the hardest lower-body or conditioning session when possible.
Safety notes
Suggested additionUse loads you can control, warm up the primary movement patterns, and stop a set when form changes meaningfully.
Scaling options
Suggested additionBeginners can reduce one set per exercise, extend rest periods, or use simpler variations while keeping the weekly rhythm intact.
