WHAT'S COVERED IN PROGRAM DESIGN LEVEL 1?

Module 1: Introduction

We introduce you to the course and discuss the course journey, then we dive into the why behind program design and training periodisation, then cover common errors which result in inferior program design. Finally we dive into the introductory consultation and client auditing process which is an essential component which allows you to write more personalised and superior periodised programs.

Module 2: Foundations

We dive into a few essential topics which form the foundation for the course ahead which will also allow you to better understand the why, what, how and when with training prescription. Topics covered here include resistance training principles, movement patterns, resistance training adaptations and strength qualities.

Module 3: Training Variables

This module analyses all of our resistance training variables in detail. Here we’ll cover volume, intensity frequency, sets, reps, exercise selection, rest, tempo and effort. These variables are your programming tools and their strategic manipulation allows you to tweak or transform the training stimulus to aid continued progression over time and enhance the results you achieve.

Module 4: Base Loading Strategies

This module introduces and compares the essential loading strategies which you can deploy with any training prescription. We then detail a few of our base loading strategies (constant load, step load, descending reps) and breakdown a few we like for each strength quality using white board based sessions.

Module 5: Intermediate Strategies

We now step it up a level and dive into intermediate loading strategies. Here we discuss stage systems, pyramids and skewed pyramids, and again we show you a few of these awesome strategies you can use for each of your main strength qualities. We also explore supersets in detail and crucially illustrate how the different types can result in a vastly different training stimulus and as a result, potentially very different adaptations.

Module 6: Periodisation Theory & Cycles

We now progress into training periodisation and discuss the key theories behind it which should influence our programming and allow you to better understand why we manipulate our protocols and how. Key theories introduced here include General Adaptation Syndrome, Stimulus-Fatigue-Recovery-Adaptation Theory, and the Fitness-Fatigue Theory. We then present the periodisation cycles and units which help us to plan and create multiphase training strategies which help to aid continued progression over time.

Module 7: Periodisation Methods

This module introduces different periodisation methods you can use to ensure superior progression when creating multi month macrocycle strategies. Here we breakdown 3 of our favourite periodisation methods – Linear, Undulating, and DUP (daily undulating periodisation). We finish this module with a step by step guide to creating periodised programs which helps to guide our protocols and put together all the information we’ve covered in the prior modules too.

Module 8: Base Training Splits

Here we cover key microcycle considerations to factor in when planning and creating single training cycles, whilst looking at different ways you can use frequency and repetition to your advantage. We then dive intro more white board based sessions and cover different foundational split types which can form the base for which many of your programs can then be built.

Module 9: Training Session Design

This module looks at key training session design considerations you need to factor in. Then we cover multiple base structures you can use for training session design for different goals and individuals. These base structures are then able to be tweaked and transformed as desired and can easily do so via variable manipulation and especially exercise selection.

Module 10: General Population Programming

This module focuses on key factors and considerations related to general population (“gen pop”) clients. Whilst coaching elite athletes, physique pros and movie stars may be the goal of many personal trainers in time, it is typically mastery of general population coaching and programming which allows your future diversification. Here we also discuss gen pop periodisation and cardio which are important factors for this client type.

Module 11: Hypertrophy Programming

We now shift gears and move into our modules more focused on key outcomes and this module covers hypertrophy We begin this module with a detailed look at training volume manipulation and proximity to failure, both of which are essential to understand and strategically manipulate. Next up we introduce the heavy – light method which is a unique agonist superset protocol, then we dive intro multiple different forms of intensity techniques you can deploy for hypertrophy based goals. Finally, we finish with white board based sessions and run over some examples of periodisation for hypertrophy.

Module 12: Strength Programming

This module dives into key considerations for strength based programming and the importance of identifying the specific type of strength you want to develop. Next we discuss the important 5 x 5 protocol and look at different variation you can use, along with two unique training methods – the omni method, and also the patient lifter method. We finish the module with more white board sessions covering periodisation examples and more.

Module 13: Fat Loss Programming

Finally we explore programming during fat loss and how it may differ if it all. We then showcase various energy costly protocols such as modified strongman and introduce a notable method called GBC (German body composition) you can consider including at key times for fat loss pursuits. We then explore how cardio can be used and manipulated to aid a fat loss attempt, then we wrap up the course with white board sessions discussing periodisation and how to add “finishers”.
