How to use this: Train 3 days per week with at least one rest day between sessions (e.g., Mon/Wed/Fri). Warm up for 5-10 minutes. Use a weight that challenges you in the last 2-3 reps of each set. Rest 60-90 seconds between sets for isolation work, 2-3 minutes for compound lifts.

Progression: When you can complete all sets at the top of the rep range with good form, increase the weight by the smallest increment available. Don't rush — adding 2.5kg to a compound lift every 1-2 weeks adds up to serious progress over months.
