Daily Plan

Training Split: Full Body Resistance 

Full body resistance (FBR) is the preferred training split for beginners as it allows for increased upper and lower body frequency with the intention of increasing training volume per pattern to acquire motor control.

• Monday: squat | push, bend, lunge, pull | core 

• Wednesday: push | pull, squat, bend, core | core 

• Friday: squat | push, bend, squat, push | core 

Who is Acquiring Motor Control Program For?

Training Age = Beginner-Intermediate

As the name suggests, this program is for the client who failed the squat, core, and push movement assessments due to a lack of motor control in these three patterns. It includes priority exercises and uses tempos to build control in the squat and pull, while building muscle endurance in the core. You can apply these principles to any movement patterns that your clients may be deficient in.
