Weeks 9-12
Frank Mingst
This program is designed with the novice lifter in mind. The goal of this
program is to familiarize the lifter with the basic mechanics of the
training movements, establishing and reinforcing good form. The
exercise form is fundamental to the training process, reinforcing good
movement patterns to avoid potential imbalances, and to develop the
mind-muscle connection ensuring that the intended target muscles
are being stimulated.
Starting with week 1, every other week you will establish a baseline for
that weekʼs movements. The following week you will push progression
in the same movements using one of these three progression metrics.
WEIGHT
Use more weight than the last time. If the goal is straight sets (3×10),
then you want to use more weight for your work sets than you did last
week. If the goal is “sets of X up,” then your goal is to reach a higher
end weight before your form breaks down.
REPS
Do more reps than you did last week with the same working weight.
REST
NOTES
BB = “barbell”
DB = “dumbbell”
“Sets of X up” – start with a low weight, take small jumps until you
reach a weight where you cannot continue to execute reps with clean
form, then shut it down. Do not force out reps with improper form.

Cardio
The cardio regimen for this level of programming is also basic and will
not be overly taxing. This allows the primary focus to be on the
training, rather than the cardio. Training builds muscle. Muscle burns
fat. For our current purposes cardio exists solely to facilitate weight
training. Increasing your level of cardiovascular fitness will allow you to
work harder under the bar with less recovery time in between. Less
recovery time between sets can contribute to greater levels of muscle
tissue activation and bigger pumps. This is the business we have
chosen.
