If you’ve been struggling with fat loss, it may be strength training you need.

The below program is for an intermediate to experienced lifter with a focus on the four main lifts; bench, pull-up, squat and deadlift.

The program’s intensity is based around your 5rep max of each of the above lifts. If you would like to test these you should contact a performance coach to guide you through the process. Alternatively, you can use a 1-10 rating of intensity called your Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) which you will see listed also.

I recommend doing each strength day with at least a day in between (e.g Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday). On the alternate days, I recommend participating in a HIIT or Metabolic conditioning class which would really compliment this program.
