Not all coaches use the same program structure or template. While I try to make it as simple and easily understandable as possible, I find that some of the
formatting that I use might be confusing for some.

And since what you do in the gym matters more than what’s on the piece of paper, I want to make sure that you truly understand what the program calls for.

THE PRESCRIPTION GRID

First let’s look at what the program visually looks like.

Front squat
Sets 3 Tempo/Method 8 sec. eccentric

Reps 5 Rest period 2-3 min

SET 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

REPS 5 5 5 5 5 5

RPE 5 6 7 8 8-9 9-10

WEIGHT

Notes : Lower the bar in 8 seconds, lift as fast as you can.

Each workout day has its own sheet(s). 1-2 pages is used depending on the number of exercises for the session. Then you have one table for each exercise
as well as all the information needed to perform that movement correctly.

Let’s start by looking at the general information provided for each training day.
 Then you have the exercise table where you have the information telling you how to train.

1 5
2 6

Lying EZ bar triceps extension

11 WEIGHT

7 Notes : Add weight from set to set. A1 & A2 are alternated.

1. The order of the exercise. This can include either a letter (“A” in the example) or a letter plus
a number (e.g. “D1”). When there is only a letter, it means that the exercise is performed by itself, i.e. you
perform all the sets for this movement before moving on to the next. If there is a letter and a number
(e.g. D1 and D2) it indicates a combination of 2+ exercises. Note that this is not necessarily a superset. It
simply means that you alternate between a set of D1 with a set o D2. You still respect the rest intervals
between both. For example, if the program calls for 90 seconds of rest after D1 and 2 minutes avec D2
you would do:
First set of D1 / Rest 90 seconds / First set of D2 / Rest 2 minutes / Second set of D1/ Rest 90
seconds/ Second set of D2/ rest 2 minutes, etc.
2. The name of the exercise. This is pretty straightforward info. It normally includes the exercise
as well as info about the grip if needed.
3. The number of “work” sets. You’ll notice that the program grid below includes more than the
prescribed number of work sets because the grid also includes the warm-up sets prescription (in grey).
4. The number of reps per set. This will tell you either the number of reps for your sets or a
specific loading scheme. For example, if it says “5” it means that all of your work sets are performed for
5 reps. If it’s something like 8-6-4-4-6-8 it means that the first set has 8 reps, then you add weight for
the next set which has 6 reps. The third set is still heavier and is done for 4 reps. Then you work your
way up, gradually reducing the reps. You can also have a loading scheme name, like “Miller clusters 1”
in which case the scheme will be explained in the note section. Sometimes you will be given a range:
6-8. This means that as long you get 6, 7 or 8 reps in you set, you are fine. This allows you to be more
aggressive with your weight selection.
5. Tempo/method. This tells you how you will be performing you reps/sets. It can be a precise tempo
prescription (see the table below). In which case you will have a 4 digits number giving you the speed
prescription for your reps. The first number indicates the duration in seconds of the eccentric phase of
the movement (lowering the weight), the second digit would indicate a pause between the eccentric and
concentric. I don’t use that in my prescription: if there is a pause I simply write “stato-dynamic” and mention
the position and duration of the pause in the “notes” box. The third number is the duration, in seconds, on the
concentric/lifting phase. And the last number is a pause at the end of the concentric rep. Sometimes I simply
give a repetition style (like the “slow eccentric” above), in which case refer to the “notes” box for more info.
6. The rest period after your set. You have some leeway here. You don’t have to use the exact rest
period, especially if it kills the rhythm of your workout. But stay in the right ballpark.
7. Notes box. This is where I give you information regarding the training method used (e.g. position and
duration of a pause) or technique cues.
8. Workout grid/sets. This is where you fill out the weight you are using for each set. It also gives you
indication about how to perform each set. This first row is the set number ranging from 1 to 9. Normally the first
2 or 3 are warm-up sets, which is why they are of a different color.
9. Workout grid/reps. This is the number of reps you perform on each individual set.
10. Workout grid/RPE. RPE means “Rate of Perceived Effort” or how hard you are pushing each set. This
will help you with the load selection for each set.
11. Workout grid/weight. This is where you enter the weight you used for your set.
 RPE CHART

The following table gives you an idea of what each RPE level means.

R AT E O F P E R C E I V E D E F F O R T I N L I F T I N G AC T I V I T E S

10 Maximal effort Cannot do more

9.5 Quasi-maximal effort Can’t do 1 more repetition, but might add a bit more weight

9 Extremely intense Can do 1 more repetition

8.5 Very intense Can do 1 more repetition, maybe 2

8 Intense Can do 2 more repetition

7.5 Moderately difficult Can do 2 more repetition. maybe 3

7 Moderate effort Can do 3 more repetition

5-6 Comfortable Can do 4-6 more repetition

1-4 Easy Warm Up

MORE ABOUT THE TEMPO

Remember that the tempo can be prescribed as a four digits number (e.g. 3010). Or as a guideline (e.g. lower the bar/perform the eccentric in 5 seconds).

In many movements the order of the 4 digits is the same as what happens during the exercise. The first number (duration of the eccentric phase) also occurs first during the lift.
For example, in the squat or bench press you start by lowering the bar (eccentric).

1 2 3

For example, going from image 1 to image 2 is the eccentric phase (you are resisting the weight) and is thus the first digit in the number. Going from image 2 to image 3
represents the concentric phase (overcoming/lifting the weight) and is noted as the third digit. The second digit would represent a pause somewhere between image 1 and
image 2 and the fourth digit a pause as the top of image 3.

But in some movements the order of the digits (which doesn’t change) and the phases of the movement are not the same. For example, in a deadlift, military press or chin-up the
concentric phase (third digit) occurs first in the movement.
 1 2 3

In the example above going from image 1 to 2 happens first in the movement. But since it is the concentric phase (overcoming/lifting the weight) it is still noted as the third digit,
not the first one.

The first digit is the duration of the eccentric phase. And the eccentric phase is when you are resisting/lowering the weight and that happens when you go from image 2 to
image 3.

You thus have exercises where the digit order is the same as what happens in the performance of the movement and movements where you start each rep with the concentric
phase which means that the third digit happens first when you perform the exercise.

Same digit and performance order Phase noted as third digit happens first

Bench press variations Lay pulldown variations

Squat variations Rowing variations

Romanian deadlift Duffin upright row

Triceps extension variations Biceps curl variations

Leg press Cuban press/Seated clean & press

Hack squat Pretty much all cable exercises

DB split squat Bench press/squats from pins

DB press* Deadlift from floor or pins

Leg curl

*In the DB press you often have to press the DB to get them to the starting position, this could technically be seen as using a reverse order. But I
prefer not to include the pressing action you use to get the DB up in the first place.
