Coach -
I want to use double progression for a few cycles to see how I respond to adding reps before adding weight. What would you change about what I came up with to be more optimal? I can only commit to lifting 3x a week for a period of time so that’s why I’m sticking with full body for now. The reason for main barbell lifts is because I want to go back to basics for a while. Farmers walks will be thrown in on Monday and Friday.
Goal is to increase muscle mass and fine tune the basic movement patterns.
