Program-specific training plan
- Squat or Front Squat — moderate practice
- Press — moderate practice
- Deadlift or Power Pull — low-volume practice
- Weighted Carry
The defining idea is frequent practice of a small number of fundamental movements without routinely exhausting the lifter.
- Squat variation — moderate practice
- Press variation — moderate practice
- Pull variation — moderate practice
- Carry or simple assistance
Keep the session short and repeatable rather than chasing fatigue.

Strength and consistency
