Review exercise techniqueBefore you start
No measured max is needed to start. Guided setup lets you choose a comfortable working weight in the gym and adjust your logged sets as you go.
Choose a working weight for the reps shown in each workout. Different rep targets get their own starting-weight choice. Review the program guide for this template's load and progression rules.

General strength plan
Upper/lower strength and muscle
Lifters who want lower-rep and higher-rep sessions and can choose appropriate working loads.

Requires a pulldown station and leg press as well as barbell equipment. Repeated movements have different rep targets across the week.
Equipment
- Barbell and plates
- Squat rack with safeties
- Bench
- Lat pulldown station
- Leg press
Progression in this app
Choose and log working weights for the prescribed reps. Review them as performance changes; the template does not automatically implement double progression or a deload.
About this template
A reduced exercise selection with fixed rep targets, inspired by PHUL. Movements use chosen working loads rather than percentages of a one-rep max. Different rep targets are guided separately.
