SIX WEEKS STRONG

SIX WEEKS STRONG

43 Seasons

How to use Progressive Overload in this program:
Weeks 1–2: Find your baseline
Weeks 3–4: Add weight or reps with good form
Weeks 5–6: Push a little harder in weight or reps to finish strong

A good rule of thumb: If you can complete every rep with proper form & with 2+ reps left in the tank, increase your weight next time.

Every 2 weeks, your goal is to challenge yourself by gradually increasing your weights!

As a general guideline, aim to increase dumbbells by 2.5–5 lbs per hand and barbells by 5–10 lbs total when you’re ready! Increasing weight is not the only way to progress! If you’re not ready to go heavier, focus on improving your form, increasing your reps, or gaining better control of each movement. The goal is to finish your sets feeling challenged, with approximately 1–2 good reps left in the tank. But please never sacrifice form just to lift heavier!
